You Got Me

The next day, everything went in a blur. Not a good blur, but not a bad one either. Daniel, being Daniel was trying his best to 'wow' my friend Gabby, who would have been telling him to go away, IF she hadn't of been staring at Brody, and the fact he had forgotten his P.E kit, which meant he had to wear his school shirt. Not much of a big deal, but thank God that some P.E teachers knew what girls like and had made him do 16 laps around the field which results in a lot of sweat, but one good hell of a reason to take off your shirt and check out the biceps. And let me tell you, he may be a friend but bloody lordy hell it was hard not to go up to him and say 'I'm ready' and then pounce, only to shag him till he was 32.  And Gabby, well she was dying. I think Brody kind of knew she liked him but he never really denied that he liked her too. In fact, we were at a party at Daniels place and when we were asked which boy, other than the ones there who we would go out with, let’s just say Gabby’s answer of “Tom Roo” didn't exactly impress him, even though he blames it on the alcohol, when I for a fact know the only thing he had was a Fruit Shoot. Yep, at this school the guys are totally hench and dicks. But fit dicks. The boys, I mean not there actual.... ANYWAY.

I took at seat on the bench nearest the exit away from the seagulls and their vicious “It's raining poop” bottoms. My friends took the hint even though Gabby was slightly losing her virginity, at the Brody 'wow' factor. As we began eating, I forgot all about WhiteShadow and everything really, focusing on my friends reminding them that they had an idea about WhiteShadow but never really dropped any hints. I would never tell Daniel because one being if I did, I had the image of him walking down the corridor stopping every male that passed with a 'say what' look on his face exclaiming “IS THIS HIM?!”. Which in my school, you do not want. Especially when it’s a Monday, evil little buggers.

Rose, my other friend who was a totally 'geek' yet 'sheek' kind of girl, she was a totally smart ass but classy with a hint of 'seagull' (personal joke, just in case she reads this). She noticed my thoughts were biting the head of Daniel who was trying to slap my arse, whilst I was trying to grab my bag off Brody who had stolen it. She being her, simply kicked Brody, and “accidently” ran her hands down his abs, to annoy Gabby who gave her an “I'm not very happy” glare. Once I had re-applied my bottom to the still warm seat, it was then I realised Rose was staring straight at me.

“What?” I said, at which point Brody and Daniel had taken a seat next to us to listen to the conversation

“You have make-up on today”

“Oh, yes I do, clever you then ey” At which point Daniel gave a smirk, of which I returned back. He had a nice smile and eyes.

“Is that because of your admirer?”

“My what?” This had taken me quite by surprise because 1) I didn't know I had an admirer. 2) That seagull was staring at my sandwhich.

“Your admirer, Harley”

“Harley, is not my admirer, Rose, you know that”

Rose gave me a stern look, she knew very well what had happened those years ago, but I could tell she was having none of it.

“No, yesterday, when you sat down and had lunch with us, Harley came up to the window”

“And?”, and here on David Attenbourgh documentary, we have Rose, a common nut job when it comes to boys and windows.

“Well he was staring at you! He smiled and then walked away, so what was that about you and no admirer?” Glaring at me.

Harley? I didn't remember seeing him there. I tried to cast my mind back to yesterday, the only thing I could remember was the note and WhiteShadow appearing....

“Which window” My heart began to race, eyes darting

“That one over there”, she pointed and my heart stopped.

I didn't notice that she was whispering “Harley likes her” to the rest of the group, nor did I notice the seagull had stolen my sandwich. Directly there, was the exact same place that I had seen the mysterious stranger who was WhiteShadow. Harley was the stranger.

My eyes locked with Daniel who was staring back at me, whilst the others were doing kissing motions of me and Harley, Daniel wasn't smiling, in fact he looked like he was going to kill someone about 21 times. I then saw what he was staring at.

Harley was there. At the window again, sticking his finger up at him, laughing and doing 'wanker' motions. Daniel took one look at me, and said “I'm so sorry”. Got up, ran to Harley whom I thought he was going to kill. Daniel raised his hand to Harley, and high fived him, only to walk off.

Daniel knew Harley would be there, Daniel must have found out about WhiteShadow off someone. He must have told Harley. My friend had lied, my brain staggered. But my main focus was Harley, he hadn't done anything to me in those last few seconds. He was there when I found the note and if he was the stranger I saw then he walked away, as soon as I had read the note.

My enemy had walked away. I didn't know whether to cry of joy that Harley hadn't said anything, yet I loaned for him to come back and say “It's me, I was a jerk all those years ago, I want you”, or “You got a stupid love note, ohh hey everyone someone actually likes to shag girls like this!”

But no. He walked away. Harley would never say “I want you” or “I need you, be mine forever” he would never mean “forever”. And he would never say “I love you Charlie”.
