Cookie's Sister

Chapter 2

"That's great Jamie!" exclaimed mum

"You have?" questioned dad

"Yeah, I'm on rhythm guitar, matt's on drums, my mate nick is on bass"

"Who sings?" I asked curiously

"My good mate Alex" he replied

"This is so exciting Jamie!" mum said cheerily

"Umm I was wondering whether Hayley could come to practice everyday after school with us, it'd be really fun and she'd probably learn some stuff too. We need the critic too" he chuckled, and then stared at me.

"Oh that's fine, if that's what you want Hayley?" mum questioned

"Yes! Yes! I would love that! Thank you so much" I grinned.

This is going to be more then fun, maybe the boy with the 50s vibe will be there? Hopefully.
That night I slept wonderfully.

After school I waited by a brick wall for Jamie to pick me up and take me to the first practice, I was beyond excited.

"What do you think your doing here?! DOTTY" some random bully yelled at her as he walked over.

"I'm just waiting for my brother..." I said shyly, ".... And for you to get a better insult" I continued under my breath and rolled my eyes.

"Well piss off cos this is our turf, or else we'll-" he got cut off but a deeper voice.

"leaver her alone, mate" the voice interrupts

"Excuse me?!" the lad says back, and puffs his chest out like he'd never lost a war.

"Just leaver her alone" the voice said calmly, causing the bully to walk away with his little huddle.

I looked up to the person stood with their hand on my shoulder, it was him.

"Your cookie's sister, right?" he asked kindly

"Yeah" I nodded in response

"I saw you waiting for jamie at the door yesterday" he stated, "anyway, what are you doing stood 'ere all by yourself?"

"I'm waiting for Jaime to take me to band practice" I explained

"Well he's just texted me saying he's on his way, so he won't be long"

"oh ok" I thanked him especially as my phone had died.

"What's your name?" he asked

"Hayley, and yours?" I questioned in response

"Nice to meet you Hayley, I'm Alex, Alex Turner"

I nodded .

I took a moment to take him in, he was closer to me now so I could see him more clearly. Chestnut brown hair with slight warm highlights where the sun caught it, slightly pursed lips, deep amber eyes, he still had the tatty leather jacket on as yesterday and black jeans too.

Soon enough Jamie comes walking around the corner with a bright smile on his face, "I see you've met me sister" he chuckled to Alex, "right let's get a wiggle on" Jamie said as he continued to walk down the footpath.

I glanced up at alex as we started to walk and his eyes met mine and he gave a cheeky wink and a smirk at me. I stopped for a second with slight confusion but then continued and caught up with Jamie's speed walking.
