"God, your mate is sexy!" Lizzy said. I purred. "Yes. He. Is." We sat there at the table watching Tyson with dreamy eyes, Lizzy practically drooling over him. I wanted to growl at her but at the same time, I wanted to laugh. He looked over here, smirking as we turned our heads quickly. Feeling his eyes on me, I turned back around, waving slightly with bright pink cheeks. Feeling the warm heat he lets off just from here, makes me want to take him to the nearest bathroom. My eyes widened as his laughter rang through my head. 'Nice thoughts, babe. Maybe I can make that happen after this talk.' 'Uh...' "Avalon! What is he saying?" She whispered. "That I'm going to get a little treat after we leave." I said, still staring at Tyson. She squealed in my ear. "Baby time!" My eyes snapped to hers. "What?" "Baby time." Someone said in my ear, their hot, nice breath making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I turned around to see Tyson smiling down at me. My mouth was slightly open but that doesn't mean I wasn't completely shocked and scared. "Come on. Time to go home." Holding out his hand, I completed the gesture, my heart beating frantically. I couldn't tell if he could feel my palms getting sweaty or not, but it's like I am in the desert with no water, in only black clothes. I am totally and completely nervous.

Ella is your typical high school geek, while Aiden is one of the popular guys. Your average romance novel? I think not. You see Aiden is Ella’s best friend. Did I mention they kinda love each other? Problem is Aiden has set up Ella with his best mate, while Ella does the same with hers. I should probably add that they don’t actually know about each others feelings. Broken hearts are bound to happen with double-date disasters, heated arguments and awkward situations. They could have all been avoided. If only they knew the truth. Will Ella and Aiden end up together? Or is their love one that is just not meant to be? *A/N: This is my first story, if you could please read it it would mean a lot!xxxx thank you so much to @mysterious_dreamer who wrote the blurb for me :) xx check out her stories too!xxx
