I couldn't belive my eyes. I started to freak out.
" F-Fa-Farah can we walk the um other way? " I asked nervously.
" Why? " she asked.
" Uh, I ju-just want to you know look around some more, " I said.
" Uh-Okay, " she said.
" Thank you! Now walk! " I said pushing Farah the other way.Now as that was all happening this was happening with James, and his wierdo friends. Guess he saw me too.
" Wow, " James whispered.
" Uh James. You okay? " Hudson asked.
" What-Oh-ya " He said, as he turned his head to look back at me.
" James, " Said George one of the other guys I went to school with at Groves.
James still was looking at me.
" Uh James? " he asked again.
" James! " he said loudly.
" Ya?! What happened?! " he said shocked.
" Whos that girl? " George asked.
" Ya who is that? " asked one of James' new friends Riann.
" Who is who? " James asked.
" That girl you were staring at, " Riann said.
" That girl? Oh shes just- you know... whatever, " he said as he mummbled that last part.
" Oh come on man! " George said.
" Tell us! " Riann demanded
" Ya! " Hudson said.
Suddenly they burst into a pool of noise demanding they tell them.
" Fine! Okay! Okay! I'll tell you! " James yelled over the noise.
He looked down.
" Her name... Is Claire Andrews. And I told her I liked her in third grade on the roof when we were neighbors... Then she moved and I never saw her again. She hates me... " He said as he looked up.
" Oh ya! Claire Bear! " Hudson said.
" Ya the one you tried to make out with! " James said.
They all laughed.
" What can I say she was a cutie, " hudson giggled.
" Well should I talk to her? Yes? No? " He asked.
" Um Yes! Dude go get her man! " Hudson said as he patted James on his back.
" Alright.. I'm going, " He said as he turned around to walk over to me.As he got closer James got more nervous. I even felt some nerve, even though I didn't know what was happening.
You know that feeling you get when the one touches you well lets just say when he tapped my shoulder, it felt like I could've kissed him then and there.
" Uh hey Claire, " James said.
I turned around and just looked at him for 10 seconds. I couldn't believe my eyes. He was perfect. I smiled and said,
" Well.. Hello there. "Yes. Hello there. Perfect.
