    You had just recently moved into a small town in England - Buckinghamshire. Within just the first few weeks of living there, you met this guy that lived across the street from you. His name was James and the two of you instantly became friends.

    He was a complete opposite of you..He was a total nerd - the type of guy to sit in his room and read comics all day while listening to the radio. The type of guy to write lyrics into crumpled pieces of paper, even if they didn't exactly make sense..it made him happy and he was very into music, to say the least. The guy could play multiple instruments without any issues! I mean..what normal person can do that? Surely not you..

    It was almost..shocking how the two of you had anything in common at all. Unlike him, you were the type of girl to sneak out every other night and rip your tights on a fence while climbing it and still not have a single care in the world. The kind of girl who went to any house party even if you didn't know the host. Wasted, smoking on some rando's front porch at dawn, unsure how to get home..yeah - that kind of girl.

    All of that aside, the two of you got along very well. You'd hang out all the time and today was yet another one of those days. Your parents were out of town for the night, so you decided to invite him over to your place to hangout.

    It was around 7pm or so and you open the door to him, greeting him with a little nod, holding your phone between your chin and your shoulder, speaking with one of your friends. You let him inside, closing the door.

    "Yeah, yeah, okay! I'll be there..probably. I'll text ya, 'kay?" You chew on your gum a little too obnoxiously, glancing at your nails before looking at James again.

    "Uh-huh..okay, love you - bye." You hang up the phone, closing your flipphone and turning your attention back to James.

    "What was that all about?" James runs a hand through his brown hair with a nervous grin on his face.

    "Well..it was a party invite from one of my friends. What do you say? Let's party together for once?" You smirk a little, wrapping an arm around his neck. "It'll be fun!"

    James looks at you hesitantly, shrugging a little. The nervous smile never leaving his blushed face. "I don't know.."
