Hey, guys. Before we jump into this I'm going to say that this story is not written by me. I stumbled upon it while on Quizilla and I fell in love with it. I noticed that the author of the story, radlikewhoa, decided to leave Quizilla about a year or so ago. I decided that this story was just too amazing to not be passed on, and seemed a great way to get her work out there. If you want the link to her Quizilla page, and other stories, you can click: here.
Disclaimer: I do not own this story or anything related to it. It, in all it's amazing Gaskarth-y glory, is owned by the lovely "radlikewhoa" on Quizilla. :)
Oh, PS: The characters are not this young for the story, just this chapter. The next chapter they are 14, and the 3rd chapter, at age 18 is when the actual lovely story takes off. Okay, enough of my blabber, enjoy!
Hayley Amanda Carson was seven years of age when she first layed eyes on Alexander William Gaskarth. His messy brown hair and big brown eyes were something of interest to Hayley.
She sat upon her porch, watching as Alex played a Pokemon game on his oldschool Nintendo Gameboy. The Pokemon battling song blaring through the small speakers on the mediocre game system. She watched as his brown hair would fall infront of his eyes, and he would push it out of the way, becoming more and more frustrated until finally, he turned off the main cause of the problem. He set it down beside him, his young eyes scanning the world around him. His eyes fell upon Hayley. Her light brown hair was twisted into one braid at the back of her head, her hair at the front not long enough to be pulled back, so it was falling into her face. She wore a pair of denim overalls, her sisters Blink 182 shirt that she gave to her and a pair of black sneakers.
Alex smiled at her, Hayley smiled back.
"Hi, I'm Alex." He called across to her.
"Hayley." Hayley's high-pitched, but not annoying, voice did not fit the way she looked. She was a tom-boy, but had a very feminine voice. It just didn't fit.
"You like that band?" Alex asked, pointing to her tshirt.
Hayley looked down, laughing slightly.
"Yeah. My sister listens to them, and got me into them." Hayley explained.
"My cousin liked them and made me a CD." Alex told her. "He said I needed to start liking music early."
Hayley giggled.
"That's nice." She said.
Alex smiled crookedly at her.
"Wanna be friends?" He asked.
Hayley giggled again.
"Sure." She replied. "You wanna come meet some of my friends with me today? I'm going to Tori's today. Kelsey's going to be there. Tori has a twin brother named Jack." She suggested, Alex grinned.
"Yeah! I'll come." He replied.
Hayley smiled. The front door opened, revealing Hayley's mother.
"Come on, Hales. You need to come eat lunch before you can go see your friends." Her mother advised.
"I'll be there in a minute." Hayley told her mom before turning back to Alex. "Go eat your lunch and meet me out here, okay?"
Alex nodded and got up, walking over to his house. Hayley was just about to go inside when Alex called her name. She stopped and looked at him, tilting her head to the side.
"Yeah, Alex?" She asked.
"Your freckles." He said. "They're cute."
Hayley blushed.
"Your eyes, they're pretty." She told him before walking inside and closing the door behind her.
The two quickly ate their lunches, meeting eachother outside and running over to the house that they were meeting the friends.
Hayley introduced Alex to all her friends, watching as young Jack came down the stairs.
"THERE'S A BOY!" Jack screeched running over to Alex and vigorously shaking his hand.
Alex smiled nervously, looking over at Hayley.
"Is he okay?" Alex asked, pointing to Jack who was still shaking his hand.
"Mom and dad say he has ADD." Tori told him.
Alex nodded knowingly and smiled at Jack.
"I'm Alex." He told him.
"Jack Barakat. But you can call me just Jack. Wouldn't it suck if Jack Barakat was my first name and you had to call Me Jack Barakat all the time?" Jack said quickly, taking one large breath after.
Alex laughed and nodded, "I think we're going to be good friends, Jack."
