.Flower's P.O.V:
"Hey guys." I greeted my best mates when I walked through the school gates.
"Hey bitch." Alex replied, smirking at me.
"Haha funny." I glared at him. His smirk grew even bigger. I playfully hit his arm and we did our usual handshake.
"Ooh someone's looking good today." Jake joked. I laughed and played along.
"Awww thanks babe. You see, I got this AMAZING outfit for $150 at Forever New. Worth every cent I spent." I said, imitating the slags at our school. We talked and laughed for a bit longer until the bell went and we headed to our classes together, stopping at our lockers to get our books for period 1, 2 and 3.
We walked into our first class just as the bell finished ringing. We took our usual seats in class and got our English books out.
"Alright everyone! Open your books to page 170." Our teacher called as he walked in the room. Everyone opened their books and groaned. This was going to be a long lesson. English was awesome and everything, but sometimes our teacher made it a bit too boring for my liking.
The next 4 periods (plus recess and lunch) went by very slowly. I said bye to the boys, got my Media and Photography books and folders and went to class. I walked into the classroom just before my teacher did. I settled down in my front row seat and got my books out for our work.
-----------------------------------------------------
I got my key out of my bag and inserted into the door handle. No one home. I knew my mum wouldn't be home for a while, she was working on a pretty big case at the moment. My dad I didn't expect home for another half hour or so. But today was different. Not only did he arrive home fifteen minutes early, but he bought someone else with him. A young boy about my age.
"Hi dad." I called as I heard the door close.
"Hi sweetie, how was school today?" he asked me, giving me a warm hug.
"Ehh, it was alright, I guess." I replied, shrugging. He chuckled quietly, then gestured to the boy behind him.
"Flower, this is James. He's one of my students and needs a bit of tutoring, so he'll be around a few days a week." he introduced us.
"Hi James, I'm Flower." I offered my hand, which he shook.
"Nice to meet you, Flower." he smiled at me. Just then, the phone started ringing.
"I'll be right back. Why don't you two start to get to know each other a bit more?" he suggested and went to get the phone.
"So... What are your hobbies?" I asked, polietly.
"Well, I mainly film stupid videos with my friends and upload them onto YouTube when we have time. You might have heard of us, The Janoskians?" he asked.
"Ohh. Yeah you guys are so funny! I love watching your videos, they always cheer me up." I replied, grinning at him. He returned the smile.
"Haha, I'll have to tell the boys that. It's good to know we cheer people up and make them laugh and smile. It's our aim." he said, happily. Before I could reply, my dad came back into the room.
"Sorry about that James." he apologised, then turned to me. "Flower, your mum isn't going to be home until late tonight. Do you want to order in or shall we cook something and show James here what great cooks we are?" he nudged me gently.
"Hmmm... I think we shall show James what ninja cooks we are." I replied, slashing the air like a ninja. "Two choices for dinner. My famous pasta, or my famous pizzas?"
"James which one would you prefer?" my dad asked him.
"I think... Pizza!!" he yelled. My dad and I laughed at him.
"Ok, ok. Now shoo! I have some cooking to do, and you have some work to do. Out of my kitchen!" I ordered them. They shuffled out quickly and I got ready to make some pizzas.
---------------------------------------------------
One and three quarters of an hour later, and the pizzas were nearly done. I had planned on cooking the pizzas, taking them out to air and then putting them back in to warm up after I'd finished preparing the dessert. Ding, ding! I took the pizzas out and placed them on the side.
I got out a new chopping board and started cutting some fruit up. I put the chopped kiwi fruit, pineapple, strawberries and apple into a bowl and in the fridge. I turned the oven temperature down a bit and put the pizzas back in.
After five minutes, I called out to the others. They walked into the kitchen.
"Mmm. Smells good, Flow." my dad commented, sniffing the air. James nodded in agreement. I grinned at them both.
"Thanks. There's dessert as well." I took the pizzas out of the oven and set them on the table. We all sat down around them.
"Mmm. Tastes just as good as it smells." James told me. I beamed.
"Haha thank you."
----------------------------------------------
An hour later, and we'd all finished our dinner and dessert. My dad was getting ready to go and take James home. He went up to his room to get his coat, and left James and I talking downstairs.
"It was nice meeting you Flower." he said.
"You too."
"Here's my number. I'l probably see you tomorrow." he pulled me in for a hug goodbye. I hugged him back.
"Thanks, I'll text you later." My dad came downstairs.
"Ready to go, James?" he asked.
"Yes, Mr. Heart." James replied. I started laughing, I couldn't help it. "What?" he looked confused.
"Nothing, nothing." he narrowed his eyes at me but didn't say anything else. "See you later, James." I called out to him as he left. He waved back. I closed and locked the door, and went upstairs to get ready for bed. I quickly changed into my p.js and brushed my teeth. I grabbed my phone, set my alarm and settled into bed. Opening up my contacts, I made a new one, James Yammouni.

I laughed even harder at his message.

Message: Awwwww poor baby :( You'll get over it. I heard my dad coming in the front door. Ooops. Have to go, dad just came home :) Talk to you later :) 'night x
I turned my phone off and pretended to be asleep when my dad came up the stairs.
"Goodnight Flower." he whispered. He closed the door quietly. I snuggled further down into my doona, and soon fell fast asleep.
