7 Years Ago

7 years ago

"Come on Brad! Catch Me!" I screamed as loud as I could. Brad and I were playing a game of tig/tag and it was his turn to come and get me, but my 11 year old self is actually an okay runner so Brad had to try a little bit harder to catch me. "I'm coming for you Mack! You better run fast!" he replied chasing after all around his garden.

After a while of taking it in turns we had got bored of that game and were deciding on another. "How about Truth or Dare?" I asked, "But we always play that" he retorted, "Well what do you think then?" after a few moments of silence he answered "What about Kiss Catch?" Immediately my cheeks staring blushing, not because of Brad but just of the thought of actually kissing someone. "I've actually um never played that" I admitted stuttering slightly, "So I'll show you,come on I'll go first"

Brad had finally explained the rules to me and we were about to start the game. We were running around for quite some time until I made the stupid mistake of running into a corner, I turned around to find an escape but Brad was already right in front of me. "Gotcha Mack" he said smiling, "Come on then gimme a kiss!" he said grinning, I started to smile too and we both leaned in and pecked each other's lips, we immediately burst out laughing but were interrupted by Anne-Marie shouting from the house for Bradley to go for dinner. We said our goodbyes and I went back to my house but the whole time I was hoping she didn't see anything.

The next morning I woke up to a small but still heavy body on me, I opened my eyes lazily to see Brad just laying on his back on top of me staring at my ceiling. "Brad what are you doing?" I asked in my groggy morning voice, "Just chilling, yah know waiting for your lazy butt to get up. Come on we have school to get to." I totally forgot that it's our first day at high school today, I'm so nervous already thanks Bradley. "Do we have to go?" I whined at him, "Yes not get up, come on it'll be great!" He said to answer my request.

1 hour and a half later, here we are standing at our source of stress for the next 5 to 7 years. Brad and I slowly made our way inside the school and to our form room(which we were told previously) and waiting for some more kids to show up.
We are now 10 minuets into our form period which is about 20 minuets, Brad has decided we should sit at the back so we did and we were sat alone for quite some time until a small group of girls came over and started to flirt with Brad, "Hey what's your name?" she asked while batting her eyelashes "I'm Brad and this is Mack, you are?" he replied casually "I'm Lucy" and after a small conversation consisting of those small questions they girls finally decided to sit down.

Lucy and the 2 other girls with her( i think they are called Katie and Lottie) were just sat there staring at Brad and sometimes even giving me small glares here and there. I wonder what their problem is? "So Brad, how do you know... I'm sorry what's your name again?" Lucy asked, "I'm Mac-" "Oh right yes of course" she interrupted me rudely. "Oh Mack and I go way back, I'd say about 6 years we've know each other and we met in primary school" Brad replied with a smile on his face. "Oh that's nice, so are you two together or?" Brad and I just looked at each other and starting to laugh so loudly "No, no we're not. Just best friends" I replied struggling as I was laughing so hard, "Oh I thought you were" she replied laughing a little too.

That's how Brad and I's first day of school went.

Just a little insight of their lives leading up to them currently, I think about 1 more chapter like this and then we will get right into the story.
