Just a Daydream Away

Today has been the best school day I've experienced in a long time. No one said anything mean to me today, in fact, no one said anything to me at all, which I like. I like the silence. I also met this boy called Jack. I noticed him staring at me a few times in English and in the cafeteria. He's new, and hell, he's really attractive. He has black hair with a blonde stripe in, kind of like a skunk, which was styled perfectly. His nose is slightly out of proportion compared to the rest of his face, but it suits him and it's adorable. He has the goofiest smile, but it's beautiful. His black skinny jeans fitted his long legs perfectly, and it made his butt look nice too. He's tall and lanky, but in my eyes, he's perfect.

Actually, I'm with him right now.

We are both walking up to my house. I plucked up the courage to invite him round, and I was proud of myself for it. He seems like a really cool person and super nice. And not to mention, his music taste matches mine to a T.

"Oh shit." Jack silently cursed as we were walking along the sidewalk. I couldn't help but think that I had sone something wrong, and my stomach churned. "I need to get a few cans of hairspray, do you kind if we stop off to get some on the way to yours?"

"Yeah, sure." I smiled at him. He's so adorable. "How much hairspray do you use everyday anyway? It looks like a lot."

"It only takes me a few days to finish a can, but it makes me look beautiful." He pulled an angelic face and I laughed.

"Yeah, it does." ... Did I say that out loud? Oh my god he's going to hate me and he won't want to come round shit shit shit..

Jack laughed awkwardly and I felt terrible. We kept walking, but in silence now. Jack kept turning to look at me, but I didn't look up, I just kept my eyes on my shoes, dragging along the cement. We went to buy some hairspray, Jack got 5 cans, and then we started to head back to my house again.

It was Jack who spoke up first. "So, where do you live?" I was happy that he tried to make small talk, and we slowly went back to how we were before my embarrassing comment. We turned down my road, and Jack's face shown an expression of awe.

"I recognised the street name, but I didn't know you lived down this road! These houses are massive!" I just laughed. Everyone that's ever been to my house has said that. We got to my house and I unlocked the door and we both stepped inside.

"Make yourself at home, it's just us two here."

"Where are your parents?" Jack asked, looking around the house like he had stepped into wonderland.

"My parents work away from home, I barely ever see them. They only come home every once in a while, and they're never home for Christmas and my birthday." If sounded worse than it was, my parents never really cared for me , they just brought me material things. I got over them along time ago, I never really talk to them any more. Besides, I like being on my own.

"That's terrible." I could hear the sympathy in Jack's voice. "Don't you ever feel lonely?"

"Yeah, sometimes. I'm used to it though. I've never really had many friends and my family has never been around much, so it's all I really know." We were sitting on the couch now, and Jack, for a moment, looked like he cared about me, and like what I said hurt him deep down. A tear then trickled down my cheek, I didn't even realise I was crying until Jack wiped it away.

"Shh, don't cry. I'm here, I'm your friend. You won't be alone any more." As soon as I heard those words, I totally broke down. I was a state, and I've probably scared Jack off, it's the first day I've known him, and I've shown him my weaknesses. No one has ever said anything like that to me before, and it made me so happy to know that at least somebody cared.

"Come here. It's okay, I'm here now." Jack moved closer to me and hugged me. I snuggled into his side and buried my face in his shoulder. I could smell his scent, a mix of honey, peppermint, and the cologne he was currently wearing. It was nice, soothing. He rubbed my back gently and we sat there for a good few hours, just cuddling and talking about everything and anything. I felt safe, for the first time in a long time, and I wasn't alone anymore.

Notes

Sorry if it's not very good, I'll need practice before my stories actually start getting good haha :)
