My fingers hover over the stall door handle to push it open. The door creaks as it slowly swings away from me. Sage’s eyes widen as she sees me stood before her.

“W-what are you doing here … in the guy’s bathroom?” I stammer.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrQhouIRLF
Sage open and closes her mouth as if trying to force an answer. She places her hand on my shoulder and stares into my eyes.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLWkR396b3
“I came to see if you were okay.. I know they boys can be harsh and I-” She pauses to sigh with what I assume to be pity. “Did you write that note?”
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIceKqXUnVm
“I- uh I mean I-I wrote it but it wasn’t-” As I try to explain myself Sage interrupts me with an urgent curiosity in her voice.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGZo8LvtbC
“Do you like Yasmin?” Her question rings in my ears as I blink with utter bewilderment. Yasmin is definitely pretty, her dark hair always has perfect curls and her skin always seems to glow.. but I don’t think I could ever like her in that way.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLKK7B07qH
“You’re blushing.” I snap to my senses as Sage says this. She giggles into her hand and smiles brightly at me. I try to smile back but I think it comes across more awkward than I intended and Sage noticed this too.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQi9fB6fFF
“You know.. I could help you. With Yasmin.” Sage tilts her head in a questioning manner awaiting my response.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyZC2B6frR
“I don’t understand..” I shyly reply.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5p6hufKhH
As Sage opens her mouth to explain I hear the bell shriek in the halls showing that class is starting and I am late for first period.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ7vPFwIex
“Meet me here after school okay?” She grins.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4I7qZjMJ6
“Back into the guys bathroom..? Are you sure?” I blurt out not answering her original question to meet again.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm5ihH1hi9
“Maybe not in the bathroom .. It kinda smells like rotten socks and sweat.” She giggles then rests her fingers on her chin to contemplate.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW9YMJGspi
“Bus stop outside the gates?” She snaps her fingers and points to me as she raises her eyebrows. I chuckle at her expression and form the courage to reply without a stutter.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFUZfdiBme
“I’ll see you there then.” I can’t help but smile. I am going to be talking to Sage Phillips alone AGAIN. My heart is soaring with adrenaline yet feels as though it has stopped. The thought of talking to Sage is something that used to make my heart sing. But now I don’t know how I feel.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmQ7c6yC2E
“It’s a date then.” She nods towards me, then freezes. “I mean .. uh not a date but .. uh. I don’t like you it’s just. Ah I mean uh you’re nice and all but- Oh wow okay .. I uh .. I gotta get to class but uhh see you at the bus stop.” She rambles as she backs away towards the exit. When she reaches the door she salutes me goodbye and darts out the door to class.

Good job me! A+ for effort. I can’t believe that happened. That is probably the most embarrassing thing to ever happen in my life so far. I need to try and forget about it, I’m sure Jack didn’t even notice so I don’t need to worry. Plus it was four hours ago so im sure he has let it go.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt7YZiZwzH
I try to push my thoughts to the back of my mind and start to pay attention to Mrs Anderson. History. My least favourite subject. I understand the importance of respecting the wars and stuff but I don’t feel the need to live in the past. Why over learn about the past when soon we will be expected to know about the future without any help? I just don’t get it sometimes.

I look to my right and see Matt a few desks over, he is staring at someone across the room. It’s probably Yasmin, seeing as he has the biggest crush on her. Although Matt can be a bully I feel bad for him. Yasmin leads him on all while secretly making out with Harry. She is my best friend but man she is a piece of work and sometimes a big bitch. I would make more friends I’m just scared to leave. Yasmin has Matt and Harry wrapped around her fingers. If she wants them to do something all she has to do is bat her eyelashes and they will do it just in some attempt to get in her pants or whatever.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kenz3lWPB
Its weird to think that Jack has a crush on Yasmin even when she is so cruel to people. He must just see the good in her. Maybe he can bring it out rather than Matt or Harry hiding it behind their egos.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8TbWyjIRH
“Sage?” Someone nudges my shoulder so I look up to see who. Matt.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3spmjyftwJ
“Yeah?” I reply. I wonder what he wants.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn2GskOLiP
“Uhh class has ended.”
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL4KFXoYR0
I must’ve missed everyone leaving as it was just Matt and I alone in the classroom.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdd8Q48kmD
“Oh yeah. Thanks who knows how long I would’ve been there.” I smile at him and his eyes appear to glisten at this. I grab my water and take a sip.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytADWvzvhb
“So Sage? Wanna go on a date after school?” Matt says as he rubs the back of his neck.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQT8Gy5EXG
A huge gulp of water goes down my windpipe and I start to choke. Coughing and wheezing until I catch my breath, I see Matt glance at me as if I was being weird.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU5q1an6Cr
“Sorry, what?” I blurt out raising my eyebrows at Matt.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGw4oxSBmc
“Do. You. Want. To. Go. On. A. Date. After. School? Gosh I thought you were supposed to be smart it’s not that hard to understand.” he rolls his eyes as if I had asked a stupid question and not him.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nTmRjyu3a
WAIT! Did he just call me stupid.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxWRxuzF4S
“No Matt. No I do not. I am busy.” I glare at him. I didn’t lie to him I do have plans with Jack.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VmPeLW5J0
“Whatever I will just go out with Yasmin. She’s hotter than you anyway.” Matt huffs and marches out the door leaving me to myself.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe95uaXhIZ
Why do I even hang out with these guys again? Now that’s a good question.

I grab my stuff and head to my locker to get what I need for last period. I have study hall in the library, so all I grab is my favourite book, a piece of paper and my mechanical pencil. Harry Potter. I have read the series about a million times but I can’t get enough of it. The paper and pencil is for drawing and the book in case I don’t have anything to draw.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTDAPvwrnH
I reach the library and quietly hustle into my usual seat in the corner. Everyone is silent apart from one boy. I don’t know who it is, all I can see is the back of their head but they are quietly singing along to his iPod. From what I can hear it sounds like a dying whale singing karaoke to 5 Seconds of Summer. I can’t control my laughter anymore and burst. Letting out one cackled laugh before shoving my hand over my mouth.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9qhYu87qM
The boy turns around and I see the dying whale in all his glory. Jack Davis. Of all the possible people running through my mind as possible identities, Jack was not one of them. He cutely blushes and moves seats so that he can be seen but not heard. He looks like he is sulking about being interrupted so I pick up my pencil and begin to smile as I draw.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqEvnYSkWf
I don’t know what came over me but the drawing is perfect. I glance down to the page before slipping it into my bag ready to leave for the bus stop. I step out the gates and look over to the bus stop. Jack is stood waiting, looking around awkwardly as if he is a lost puppy.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxAFn45XT0
“Jack!” I wave at him and quickly he smiles at me then at the ground.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUkidE1RO1
“I didn’t think you would come. I couldn’t tell if you were being serious about hanging out and I was about to leave.” He mumbles.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3BHrxp11g
“Well Jack I am here now. So where did you want to go?” I ask trying to get his gaze away from the pavement.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq6q9QZ5SA
“I don’t know. I don’t go many places.” He mumbles. I know he is shy but I’m not going to bite his head off. There has to be some way to get him out of his shell.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClNDp2kBwZ
“How about my house? I mean that way we won’t have to be around a bunch of people..” I suggest tilting my head to try and see his face properly.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtJL9OIbli
“Okay. Only if you don’t mind.” He flicks his eyes up at me and so I encouragingly smile at him.
702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlahXvZdP5v
“Yeah let’s go.” I grab his wrist and we start the journey to my house. Me infront and Jack trudging behind. “This should be fun.” 702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V6Z7xihxw
