Memories Like Those|| Bastille/Dan Smith Fanfic

28. The truth?

Dan

Scarlett wanted the truth, after all these years being caught up in those thoughts I think I can finally tell her. I've been giving her small things about her past but nothing more.

*sigh* Here it goes.

"Okay so I remember that we met on the first day of school [2008 it is about 2015 now]. I was in most of your classes."

-Flashback-

First day of my new school, ugh here it goes. I was handed my schedule for my week. I finally found my way to my first class, I sat down, seeing as the bell hadn't gone yet I decided to bring out my notebook and write that tune I made up in the morning. Just before the bell rang a flood of students poured in, I saw a girl. She had golden brown hair that was straightened that stopped right before her hips. She wore a plain white shirt, black high rise jeans and a green army jacket. I suddenly looked away when she headed towards my seat. What are you thinking Dan? Suddenly pulled out of my thoughts the teacher called up my name and I had to introduce myself.

I noticed that I was in her English class too. I stood there awkwardly standing next to the door frame. As the lesson progressed the boring it got, don't get me wrong, I love English but the sub was such a bore. She typed away, constantly laughing at her phone and babbling about poems or something.

The girl suddenly came up to me, she tripped over her own two feet. I caught her and helped the poor girl up, her cheeks were going red. "S-sorry I kinda tripped..." she stuttered.

"Are you okay?" I asked. She nodded.

"What's your name?-wait shit don't worry" she mumbled.

"Daniel Smith." I smiled awkwardly. "you?"

"Scarlett, Scarlett Godwin." she smiled back. She took the vacant seat next to me and began to talk.

"Not to be nosy or anything but why is that notebook yellow? Oh and what's in it?" Scarlett had a puzzled look to her face.

"It's just coffee stained and it's nothing important really..." Okay that last one was a total lie. She stared at me, she knew it wasn't the truth. "Okay, Okay. It's song lyrics." I whispered. She smiled sweetly.

"Hmm Daniel, I want you to get to know some people so meet me at the canteen tomorrow."

Before I could refuse she walked away, grabbed her books and exited the class.

"So yeah, that's how we met."

"Awh, that sounded so cute Dan." she said whilst pulling the blanket over us. "What about like after high school? The uni stuff, like how the hell I ended up all the way in Australia?" She asked.

"Hmm, okay."

I went into the bathroom to check my hair, to my surprise Scarlett was in there too. "Hey Scar, I'm just going back to my place for band practice." I pulled her into a hug and kissed her forehead.

I headed outside and put on my denim jacket over my grey hoodie. It was quiet cold and plus it was raining. I headed over to the jewelry store to get Scarlett something, it's nothing special. Just a pearl necklace, I figured that with my first pay from my first real job I could get Scarlett something.

I went into the small jewelry shop, the sales lady greeted me, she knew my mother from when they first moved here from South Africa. "Welcome, do you need any help today Daniel?" She smiled sweetly.

"Um, can I get that necklace with the pearl on it?" I pointed at a gold necklace with a freshwater pearl dangling from it with gold on the back of the pearl.

She handed the necklace to me. "for someone special?" She asked. I nodded. "well since it is, here. Take it, my present for you and your love."

"Thank you"

I went home and found Kyle pulling up in the drive way. "Dan there's a party going on down the street it's being held by someone at your school, you wanna go?"

I nodded. We entered the house, the smell of alcohol filled the air. I was given a beer as soon as I entered.

Kyle went off somewhere so I stayed in the kitchen bench sipping on my beer. As the night progressed I got given more and more beer till I was drunk.

I headed off to Scarlett's apartment with Kyle. We were really drunk, Kyle chased me down the street till we found her apartment. Kyle went home to find Janna, leaving me with Scarlett.

"Hey beautifullll" I slurred.

I heard The door shut, footsteps were coming towards the living room.

"Wha-Kyle?!"
