secrets of a small town girl (one direction)

~waiting game

As the school day ended and I started to walk home I heard footsteps behind me speed up till Josh was walking alongside me. "hey rach" he greeted me "hey josh have you guys made up with the rest of the group or are they still pissed at you", I asked "well they've always done this to me and drake, this is the first time melody has sided with us". He told me "wow really she seemed pretty mad at them today" I said confused. "yeah well now she has you, so now she's not afraid to standup for herself before you got here's he was just a clone of lexi and gracey, I actually prefer her now she's starting to act more like you". "I should take that as a compliment" I asked "yeah I've known you for a few days and I already think your amazing" he said smiling " aw thanks nobody's ever said that to me before" I said blushing a little, "what like ever?" he said in shock "not that I can remember" I said. as I approached my house I said "well this is me home, I'll see you tomorrow" "yeah it will probably just be us four again, the other guys like to sulk" he said as he walked away. I hope he doesn't think I'm leading him on because even though I didn't exactly know what was going on with Harry I still really liked him. My main worry is if I get too close to all these people I'm putting them in danger but when the time comes I'll do my level best to make sure they don't get hurt, but how long can I keep up the waiting game.
