Is this love? // Bradley will Simpson fanfic//

Chapter 1

Rolling over I switch off my alarm. It's our first day in our new house in Birmingham, and I have to go to my new 6th form collage in a local high school today where I know absolutely no one -terrified is not the word...
I turn the light on as soon as I sit up, other wise I know I will just drift back to sleep. Though i am actually a morning person, id rather stay in my room, cuddled up in bed with My iPad and my earphones this morning. I really don't want to go to school today.
Eventually I haul myself out of bed and go do my usual morning routine; go to the toilet (I have an ensuite in this new house which I am so happy about!) brush my teeth, wash my face, go back in to my room and start on my make up. I don't usually wear a lot of make up as I have quite good skin, I'm just conscious of my slightly pink face. So I just apply some light foundation and some mascara, never forgetting lip balm, it's something I always have with me.
I have been awake for half an hour and I am already dressed, done my hair and have my bag ready, all that's left to do is to go down stairs and get breakfast. I pour myself a small amount of Greek yoghurt and fill the bowl with fresh berries.
...

I have now arrived at school and I feel as if every eye is on me. Don't fall over I tell myself, as I am well known for my clumsiness, it's something I imagine doing, especially in front of everyone. so I just get out my phone and plug in my ear phones, blocking out the world. I'm not the best in social situations.
With Arctic monkeys blasting through my head phones I'm totally oblivious to my surroundings and bump into someone whilst I'm looking down at my time table.
"Hey watch where your'e goi..." A gorgeous boy with beautiful big brown eyes and bouncy brown curls turns round and see's me. I pull my earphones out and stuff them in my pocket along with my phone.
"Oh my god I am so sorry! I'm so clumsy!" I exclaimed with very wide and apologetic eyes.
"No don't worry about it, it's okay." The nameless boy reassured me. In all of the commotion I hadn't realised that I had dropped my things.
"Here's your bag." he handed me my bag and my timetable. I was so embarrassed, I'm 17 years old- at a new 6th form collage -which I have currently been at for 7 minutes- and have already made absolute fool of of my self. Well done, Tash.
"Thanks Ermm..." I stutter, blushing a pink colour.
"Brad" he said, confidently with a smile.
"Thanks brad" I smile.
"It's alright, hey are you new? "
"Yeah, today is my first day" I giggle.
"Ah okay, well, see you around urm..."
"Tasha" I said, quietly.
"See you around Tasha?"
"Yeah, sure" I smiled again and took a step to walk away.
"Ermm Tasha?"
"Yes Brad?" I questioned.
"Didn't you just come from that direction?" He scratches his neck "I thought you were headed this way?" He asks, giggling slightly, he could tell I was embarrassed.
"Oh urm, yep ahaha, thanks" I say trying to laugh off my awkwardness. I step to the side to walk past brad, but he steps the Same way, I step the the other side and so does he. we both laugh and he stands to the side holding his arm out, gesturing me to go ahead. I giggle and nod appreciatively.
Finally I turn up to my registration class. I enter the room and everyone is already sat down. There is only one seat left in the room unused.
"Welcome to our class, Everyone, this is Tasha" the lovely teacher shouts in front of the class, she seems very bubbly.
"Hello" I say to her and she smiles back
"Take a seat anywhere dear" well, seeing as there is only one chair, I don't really have much choice.
I take a seat and have look at who is around me, guilty, yes I am a people watcher, I like to just observe.
"Hello!" A very friendly girl says, who is sat next to me.
"Hey" I reply, smiling politely.
"So your Tasha right?" She asks.
"Yes, what's your name."
"Sophie" she had light brown hair that sat, curly around her back. she had brown eyes and she was very pretty.
"Oo I like your jumper is it Jack Wills." She asks me.
" Aw thank you, and yes, the one and only, I love jack wills"
"Omg same" she exclaims. "I have a feeling we're going to be very good friends" she giggles.
"As do i" I agree, giggling too.
It's the end of the day, and I am so relieved. Thank god we moved house so close to the end of school term! I only have a week left in this school before we break up for the summer holidays, which is two months long.
I was just walking out of the school gates when Sophie came up to me and asked me for my number. We exchanged numbers.
"Hey Tasha would you like to come to Starbucks. It's where everyone goes after school, it's a real chance to make some Friends before we break up" she says, looking hopeful that I say yes.
"Urm, sure." I text my mum and tell her that I am going to be home late as I'm going out with some friends.
We make our way to Starbucks. I haven't been to this one yet and it is huge, much bigger than the one we had in Liverpool. Opening the door, a little bell chimes. I look around at all the people and I see one familiar face. Bradley's.
"Hey Tasha!" She shouts and beckons me over. Sophie has floated off somewhere talking to her friends. I walk over hesitantly, why did he remember me? He's gorgeous! And judging by the size of the crowd he has around him he looks popular.
"Hello brad" I smile when I get there.
"Who are you here with?" He asks.
"Sophie" I say. all of his friends are looking at me, mostly boys but a few girls. Some of the boys wolf whistle and it makes me blush slightly, but I don't think anyone noticed. And some of the girls smile at me, however one girl is looking me up and down in disgust. I just chose to ignore her.
"Ahh, okay" Bradley nods, looking around, "Sophie!" He shouts, "mind if I steal your girl?"
"Nope" she looks at me "go for it" she winks.
"Would you like a coffee Tasha?"
"Yeah il get one now" I reply.
"Il come up with you" he offers.
"Ooo" sings one of brads friends.
"Shut up tris" he smirks. He must be tris then. I take a mental note. I order my coffee, a caramel fruappaccino. I go to hand over the money but Bradley nudges my hand down and pays for it. What a cuttie. Wake up tash, you've only just met him.
"Brad, you didn't have to pay for my drink" I say looking up at him.
"No, but I wanted to" he says sweetly. We just look each other for a minute, examining him, I look at his eyes and his big brown eyes were already looking, my stomach flips. 'ping' the bell sounds, meaning my coffee if ready.
"Tasha" a woman calls out, reading the name that was scribbled on the cup.
"Yep that's us, cheers" Brad takes my coffee and hands it to me.
"Thanks" I look up at him and smile.
"Shall we go sit down?" He ushers me to a small table in the corner.
We sit down and just talk and talk and talk, he is so lovely and sweet. He asks me why I moved here and I explain that my mum and dad split up and he was very comforting. We're really bonding.
"Urm," he runs his hands through his voluminous shiny curls, "what's your number" he asks me shyly.
"How about you give me your phone and I give you mine and we write our number in" I suggest with grin.
"Hey so you want my number" he teases with a wink.
"Ermm excuse me Mr you asked for mine first" I say playing along.
"Just joking, tash" ...Tash.... Tash... He's never called me that before and I think it's kind of cute. The name sticks in my head.
"Tash?" I ask him playfully, giggling.
"Oh shush" he winks, handing me his phone. I do the same.
"Hey love birds" Sophie says as she swoops into a chair beside us. I roll my eyes at her playfully and she just giggles. "sorry to break it to you Brad, but I'm regain my lovely friend Tasha" she chuckles and takes my hand, pulling me up. "I have to introduce you to a few people." She says to me.
"Okay, bye Brad, see you later" I turn to Brad who looks quite disappointed. surely he's not disappointed I've only been speaking to him for... I look down at my watch and see that 3 and a half hours have passed, I gasp in my head, It's been ages
"Oh, okay, see you later Tash" he smiles and pulls me in for a hug. Mm he smells like boys aftershave, with a hint of vanilla.
"Bye" I say into his chest. We pull away and Sophie drags me off somewhere.
She lead me to a group of 3 girls, one with blonde hair and green eyes- she looked very bubbly and smiled at me, embracing me in a hug, she said her name was ash. As did the second girl with dark brown hair and brown eyes, her name was Becky. The last girl had really long auburn hair, she had green eyes And her name was shay. They all seemed like lovely girls and we arranged to go shopping tomorrow after school. But for now I had to get home and help mum with the un packing.

It was now 7'o'clock and I had just arrived back home. Thankfully, Starbucks was only around 10 minutes away from my home and it was still light out side as it was summer.
"Tasha is that you!?" My mum shouts.
"Yep, just me" I say, walking around trying to find what room she was in. I found her in the kitchen stood on a chair putting all of our plates and bowls into a big unit.
"Tabs tabs tabs!" I hear a tiny little voice through the house.
"Hello jake!" Jake is my 2 year old brother, he could only say a few words and found the 'sh' and 't' sounds particularly hard so he calls me Tabs.
"Who's my gorgeous boy?" I say whilst swooping him off the ground and flying him around the living room like an aeroplane.
He was in fits of giggles but I could tell he was getting very tied so I took him upstairs and put him to sleep in his little cot. The breakup between my mum and dad has been quite hard on us all, mum, jake and I. I have sort of turned into a part time mother to my brother as my mum sometimes has to work late shifts or sometimes even nights, though that doesn't happen very often.
I just flop in my bed on my back thinking about my first day, thinking back to meeting Brad. I know I've only just met him but I think that I might like him, even if it's just the slightest bit.
Speak of the devil. My phone vibrates in my pocked. I pull it out and look at the screen which tells me I have two new messages from 'Bradley Will Sexy Simpson' I laugh to my self because that is how he saved his name into my phone.
-BRAD
Hello tash, just though I'd see if you got the gnome alright :)xx
-BRAD
*see if you go home alright* stupid auto correct. Lol:')xx
I laugh out loud as I read that text. That's exactly why I don't have auto correct. I reply.
-ME
Hey 'Bradley Will Sexy Simpson' yep, I got the gnome alright:')I also got home alright thanks for asking. and thank you for buying me coffee, it was very sweet xx
I laugh at my own witty reply, I am so sad I laugh at my own jokes. I decide to get ready for bed as I am extremely tired and I'm supposed to be going shopping with the girls tomorrow.
I had just finished washing off my makeup and brushed my teeth when my phone vibrated again on my bed. I dove from the ensuite on to my bed. I'm surprised I didn't just slip off the other side of my double bed as I have purple silk sheets on it and they are very slippy. I pick up my phone and my face illuminates when I see it is Brad who text me.
-BRAD
Ah, I see you've noticed my name. what can I say hahaha, you were thinking it ;) Well I'm glad you got home alright. And no worries, I liked chatting with you, you're different. We need to do it again sometime Xx
I instantly smile, he likes me... Thank god. I thought I made a fool out of myself bumping into him today in the corridor, turns out he's not that bad. And then I take into account what he just said, "you're different" what is that supposed to mean?
-ME
Yes, of course I thought you where sexy haha! Joking you smelly boy :p. And aw, thanks I enjoying speaking to you too :) but what do you mean I'm different, is that a good or a bad thing? And defiantly, I would love to do it again. Xx
I waited in anticipation, he gives me butterflies in my belly. I tucked my self into my bed and swapped my main light for my little bed side lamps. My phone vibrated yet again.
-BRAD
Your just not like the other girls, all they care about is showing off and trying to act dumb for a boys attention. that's sounds a bit blunt, I don't mean all girls, just the majority. Where as you are so down to earth and I love that:) I feel as if we really connected. How would you like to come round to mine on Saturday? You can meet my friends Xx
-BRAD

I look up from my phone and I look in the mirror opposite my bed and I'm smiling like crazy, even just texting this boy drives mad.
-ME
Aw, thanks, that is so cute:) and I feel like we connected too. I would love to come round and meet your friends & oh no I'm scared, I didn't mean it I was joking you don't really smell! ;)Xx.
I stare at my phone waiting for a reply
