"Did your mum get the letter about the school trip?" Darcy asked me, as she collected a wooden tray and placed a large slice of apple cake on top. 

I shook my head in response. I grabbed a paper cup and placed it underneath the hot chocolate machine, pressing the button and watching it as it dribbled inside my cup.

"It's just a trip to the cinema. I'm going with Jake, are you up for it?" She questioned, adding a chicken and mayonaise sandwich on her tray. 

"It sounds lame, so probably not." I squeeked, popping the lid on top of my cup, and collected a pink straw, queuing up and paying for it. 

I understood that we were most probably sitting with the boys. It had become almost regular, and I was happy I had found friends in them. 
We dawdled over to the table, where only Charlie and Jake lurked, which was unusual, but also exciting, seeing as I could talk to Charlie with no interruptions. Darcy had taken a seat next to Jake, and I sat opposite Charlie. He gave me a slight wave as he munched on a chip. He held his pallete of chips out in front of me, offering me one, but I declined politely. The canteen chips were vile. Everything from the canteen was vile. Well...all except the hot chocolate, which was actually pretty good. I can never swallow the canteen chips, they're smothered in fat and coated in lashings of salt, it's truly disgusting. 

"Where are the other boys?" Darcy asked, the question I too was wondering. She helped herself to one of Jake's chips, the largest one too, but Jake didn't care, he smiled lovingly at her.

"They're both at Maths revision." Jake smiled down at Darcy. 

"I thought that's where you and Reece went yesterday?" Darcy piped up. It was annoying how obvious she was making it, hoping all the boys would eventually catch on and also attempt to get us together, but seriously, it won't work. 

I shook my head, stirring my straw around my cup. 

"Oh, where did you and Reece go then?" She smiled, it was annoying that I couldn't tell her the truth, and it was also annoying how I had no other excuses, and she was expecting me to tell everyone how we found somewhere private to be together, but that wasn't the truth. 
The truth was that I love Charlie. It's not confusing, and I didn't want Darcy to turn it that way. 

"Are you both going on the school trip to the cinema?" Charlie asked, thankfully changing the subject off of me. 

"Yeah." Jake and Darcy chorused, giggling afterwards at their synced actions. Charlie smiled briethly, but then turned to me. 

"Autumn, are you?" I shook my head at his question. "What why?" He asked, shocked and hurt and my decline.

I shrugged. "It sounds lame." Charlie laughed at my response, munching on yet another chip. 

"You should come. You can go with me, it'll be a laugh." Charlie suggested, and my 'no' had turned into an immediate yes. He did that by saying those five simple words, making me smile immensley. But I didn't want to seem to eager and scare Charlie away. I don't have many friends, and I don't want to break up my friendship bond with Charlie, Casey, Jake and Reece. They were lovely, and it would truly hurt me if we stopped being friends. 

"What film is it?" I asked, but he shook his head, obviously unsure. "Sure, I'll go." I shrugged, making Charlie laugh. 

"What made you change your mind?" He laughed, and I blushed. 

Him. 

He was the reason I was going. He was the reason for making me happier than I was. He was the reason I turned up everyday, just to see him. He was my everything, but to him I was his nothing. His mutual, the one that always hangs around with Darcy, who never speaks, and supposedly has a thing for Reece. 
Rosie was his world, and I could do nothing to change that. 
I take it Rosie wasn't going to the school trip to the cinema. She probably has her whole life set out in front of her, and going to the cinema along with the school, it just didn't fit in anywhere. Neither did Charlie. He was so oblivious Rosie's disliking towards him. Surely, if she didn't like him, she would ignore him, and stop messing around with him, and leading him on. She's a player, and one day it will all come crashing down on her, she'll instantly turn from a popular to a no-one. Charlie is too good for her, and he needs to listen to the boys and leave her alone. 

"It's something to do." I spoke. I never did anything in the evenings. My life consisted of staying in my bedroom and revising. My mum and I never really have a strong relationship. It was mainly my father who cared for me, my mother was just there in the background, watching as I grew up, but never interferred.

"Darcy, can I ask you something? Because this has been bugging me, and I am honestly very confused about this whole situation." Casey spoke, leaning against the row of maroon lockers, and staring at Darcy, whose smile was permantely stuck on her face. "Are you and Jake dating?" He asked, and Darcy giggled sweetly, closing her locker door and looking straight at Casey.

Darcy removed her eyes from Casey and stared at the floor, smiling immensley. It was all apparent now, even Darcy couldn't hide it, and normally she suceeded in doing so. I wondered how long this relationship had lasted. They really did act as if they were together. Like I said, it wouldn't be surprising. 

"Wait-Darcy. Are you actu- oh my god you are." Casey stated, screaming and jumping up and down like an excited child that had just been told he was going to Disneyland. A suspecting smile creeped on to my face, and I laughed. Darcy placed a finger to Casey's mouth, not wanting to cause a scene, and keeping Casey's giggles to the minimum. 

"Yes we are, but please don't make a big deal out of this." She shushed him. 

A sudden feeling hit me, of pain and emptiness. Whilst Darcy and Jake were together, I was just fantisizing on a guy who is falling for another girl. Of course I was happy for them, but right now I just wanted to be alone. I began to slowly walk away from Casey and Darcy, staring down at the once white laminate flooring. 
I hated when I felt like this, because I felt as if I had to drag everyone else in, when they didn't need to deal with this. I didn't want to be around anyone when I was like this, it would just bring misery to both me and them. I'm no fun when I'm in one of my moods, not that I'm a bag of fun usually. My friends didn't need to witness this. 

"Autumn, where are you going?" Darcy called to me.

I turned around and sighed. "I'm going to class, where else?" I looked down at the ground, and continued to walk, as I turned the corner I slammed straight into someone. I mumbled a quick apology, but not looking up to see who it was. 

I arrived first in Maths, but not alone for long. I heard books being placed down on the desk beside me, and a zip as it was pulled open. "I'm not that bad am I?" Charlie asked, pulling his seat up closer towards his desk. I looked up to him, to be introduced by his flawless smile and his deep blue eyes. 

"You're not bad Charlie." I sighed, opening up my Maths book to the correct page and began to scribble down the date. 

"Then why did you ignore me in the hallway?" He spoke, his eyebrows furrowed as I turned and looked at him. 

"I'm sorry Charlie. Don't take it personally. You're great." I sighed, raking my fingers through my brown hair. 

"I think you're great too!" He giggled, winking at me, unleashing the hoards of butterflies which over took my stomach. 

All I wanted was to be with Charlie. Where we could have short conversations, like the one we just had. Although it meant nothing to Charlie, it meant more than anything to me. For him, it was just paying a girl a small compliment, he's probably shovelled out many compliments to many girls, but it still meant a whole lot to me.
