Is it true?~ Reece Bibby

2~You're different

We walked around together, trying to be friendly and trying to make it as less awkward as we could, but it was awkward we had only just met and knew barely anything about one another. He asked me if I was hungry and escorted me to a restaurant, of course the boys and Charlotte coming along with us, however when we sat the boys and Charlotte sat on a table away from mine and Reece's. I felt bad for Charlotte at this point, I came up with her and i palmed her off with a bunch of lads. I decided not to say anything to Reece and let the guilt just build up in me, id do all my apologies to Charlotte on the way home. Reece sat quietly, just smiling at me, I looked at him and smiled back "what?" I giggled to him, "you're beautiful" he answered me just smiling. I could feel my face starting to blush, the heat was building up. I looked down at my lap, twiddling my fingers together, trying to get my mousey brown hair to cover most the redness on my face. "have I embarrassed you now" he said still laughing. I kept my face down answering with a lie "no", "then why don't you look up and talk to me?" He said, not laughing this time but I could tell he was still smiling. i tilted my head up a little bit hoping most of the red had gone. "that's better" he said to me which reassured me a lot.
After eating I kept glancing over to Charlotte and the boys, feeling really bad that I had just abandoned her like that, but every time I looked around she seemed she was having loads of fun, seven boys to flirt with she was in paradise. Reece's sweet northern voice cut me off from my stair. "so where are you from?" He asked me. "originally Jarrow, just next to Newcastle, but now I live in Harlow in Essex" I answered quite cherpy. "how long you lived in Essex then, cause I can't hear a Geordie accent in you at all" he said, "14 years" I answered, "wait how old are you?" He quickly asked, "I'm 15." he sat there astonished, just staring at me. he then began to get up. "oh I see, am I not to your standards anymore! And you just going to leave without saying goodbye?! Charming that!" I said to him, fairly annoyed. I began to get up myself at this point, I left Charlotte but I'd just message her to meet me so we could go. I didn't turn back I was just far to annoyed.
When I got to the front of the building, I messaged Charlotte.
'I'm outside, please hurry I really don't want to be here atm😔'
'Of course, omw😘'
I stood outside what felt like ages, the wind started picking up and my long sleeved t-shirt wasn't keeping me very warm anymore. Out of nowhere I had someone standing right next to me, there hands trying to hold mine, I looked up to see Reece standing with me. I turned away immediately. so fast my hair flicked around and hit him. I was getting so angry tears began to build up in my eyes. "what do you want?!" I hissed at him, yet he was still smiling, did he really come to mock me because that's just so lovely! "You're a happy bunny aren't you!" He laughed. I bit my tongue trying to keep all the rude words stuck in my mouth, instead of yelling them out. "Meg... I'm sorry, that was just awful what I did, just cause you're a year younger than me" he truly sounded apologetic. I slowly turned around and he could see all the tears I had built up in my eyes. I smiled back at him showing him I forgave his apology, letting all my tears come flooding out my eyes. he hugged me tightly. "How'd you know where I was?" I asked pulling away from his hug. "when I sort of knew what happened and how much of a melt I had been I followed you, I was standing over there for ages cause I wasn't sure if you'd want to talk to me again" he said looking sheepishly down at his feet. I tapped his foot, trying to get his attention, he glanced over at me confused for why I was giggling. "what?" He said smiling. I looked up at his beautiful blue eyes as he looked into mine, it went awkwardly quiet for a bit till I finally answered "you're so pretty." we both began to laugh. Our faces got closer to one another till the point I was on my tip toes, my lips inches away from his. It was about to happen, I was about to be the biggest slag kissing some kid I had just met a few hours ago. It felt like time had slowed down around us both, that we were the only ones here. Neither of us hesitated, we were about to kiss when a cough came from behind me. it was Charlotte and the boys just smiling. Reece and I went scarlet. this point I gathered Charlotte wanted to go and with that nearly a kiss and a quick smile at Reece I left to the tube station with Charlotte.
I was rummaging around my bag for my ticket when I found a folded napkin, with writing on it and a number.
'Sorry again, I'm going to need to see you again, I don't care what anybody says. text me. you're different'
"You're different" I whispered to myself, I hope that's a good thing then. a smile crawled on my face when reading this note. And that's how I knew he was different.
