Chapter one
If someone had told me true love was real I would have laughed in there face but now am not to sure as I think it's happened to me except I cant go near her. Its not that I didn't want to go near her it was the fact that my friends might not like it and also I might be leaving soon if I get accepted into a band I auditioned for. If I get in I'll be moving to London. I sat with my friends at
lunch trying not to think about her but it wasn't really working.
"Guys am going to go, I'll see you later" I told them getting up and walking towards the door. Passing her in the process, she looked amazing, she was wearing a pair of dark denim jeans and a red and black top and a pair of red converses and her sandy blond hair tied up in a ponytail. I arrived at the music department and got my bass out and started strumming some chords and before I knew it I had the start of a song all I needed now were some lyrics. I herd the bell ring and packed my things up before heading to class.
I arrived at my last class of the day, English my worst class part of the reason I hated it was because my teacher hated me probably because she had my sister in her class when she started school and I was nothing like my sister. My sister is popular and does well in class. Me on the other hand I wasn't cool and only had a few friends and did bad in most of my classes the only class I was good at was music.
"OK class open..." The teacher was soon interrupted by a knock on the door 'please don't let it be her' I thought to my self as I had been trying to avoid her and it had been working I hadn't seen her since lunch and that was a mistake. But luck wasn't on my side any more the teacher opened the door and the new girl.
"You can sit here next to Dougie" The teacher told her. She came over and sat down as she sat down I could feel my heart beat faster and I had to force myself to look away. Most of my friends would have asked her out but I couldn't If it had been any other girl at the school I would probably have asked her out
but she was different she was special.
I couldn't wait to get home that night as soon as the bell rang I started to pack my things away.
"Class...Before you go I want you all to finish reading Romeo and Juliet and write an essay on it...That includes you Dougie" the teacher said
"Whatever miss" I replied getting up, I herd the new girl giggle at my response to the teacher, it sounded really cute. I walked out of class and met the guys at my locker and we walked home.
"Doug you coming skateboarding later" Mike one of my best friends asked
"I dunno" I replied I was meant to find out if I was in the band tonight
"Come on it will be fun" Jason added
"OK....Come for me in an hour" I told them we usually went skateboarding after school. I said bye and gave them all a High five and walk in my door to see three guys sitting on the couch. I ran up the stairs and got changed into my shorts and hurley T-shirt. If I wasnt allowed in the band they would have
phoned right? But maybe they prefer to tell me in person that they had found a better bass player and he was older.
After I was changed and had prepared my self for what was about to come. I walked back down the stairs to see the same three guys sitting on my couch.
"Dougie we have something to tell you" The one called Tom told me, He was the one that helped me out at the audition because I got so nervous I was sick and he came to help me.
"OK....You found a better basses? Or is it my age?" I asked, I always over reacted with things but that was just me
"Dougie your in the band" The one called Danny told me I must have looked like a freak because I didn't know what to say I hadn't been expecting this.
"We leave tomorrow" Tom told me I was about to reply when there was a knock on the door. I got up and opened the door to see the guys standing there.
"Guys i cant come skateboarding the now come back in an hour and ill be allowed out" I told them
"We know you got accepted into the band... So are you sure you can come?" Mike asked
"Yeah am sure" I told them. They all left and i walked back inside to talk to the guys about the band.
An hour later I went to the skate park
"Doug your so lucky" Jason told me as he skateboarded down the ramp trying to show off
"And why is that?" I asked getting up and Skateboarding down the ramp and added a few tricks in
"Mate you sit next to the hottest girl at school" He told me, I new she would come into the conversation sooner or later
"Yeah totally" I replied
"Plus you don't have to do the essay" Ryan replied I was about to reply when some of the populars form our year came followed by Jazz and one of her friends
"Oh look its the freaks" The leader James said
"James leave it...Don't do this I'll get back with you just leave Doug and his friends alone" Jazz asked a pleading look in her eyes
"Jazz I don't know why I ever went out with you" He replied about to hit her
"Don't touch her" I told him I knew I would never win a fight with him but I would try
"Dougie don't" Jazz pleaded and i felt strong arms hold me back.
"Dougie there not worth it" Mike told me as him and Jason pulled me away
I got home along with Jazz and her friend and went to make my self something to eat. After I had eaten I realised I hadn't told Jazz my news. I washed my dishes and ran up the stairs to tell her. I knocked on her door
"Dougie if your here to tell me mum wants me then don't bother cause I know
she is out" She told me, What was she on about?
"Jazz What are you talking about? I came up to tell you I got into the band" I
Told her and she opened her door and hugged me
"Thanks for helping me earlier" she whispered before letting go and heading
into her room. I walked back to my room and turned on Blink 182 my favourite
song of there's I wish they'd get back together. I lay on my bed thinking about
everything that had happened and everytime she would come into my head. I went
over to my ipod speakers and turned them off before stripping down to my boxers
and going to bed.
I woke up the next morning and packed my things for London packing my clothes and toilet stuff in one case and things like posters and CD's in the other. Going to London was just what I needed to get my mind of her. "Dougie we have guests" My mum shouted up to me in other words come down now and see them. I zipped up my case and headed down the stairs to see who it was 'no it cant be' It was her and her mum standing in my living room
"Dougie this is Holly and her mum" My mum told me I said hello before looking towards the door and seeing Tom, Danny and Harry
"Mum I would love to stay and talk but I have to go" I told her running up the stairs to get my cases.
"Doug where are you going?" My mum asked when I came back down didn't I tell her?'
"I got into the band and now I have to go but I'll call you when I can love ya" I told her hugging her and Jazz before heading outside to meet the guys
"Mate whos the hottie" Danny asked
"Which one?" I asked kind of worried at what his reply would be
"The one with sandy blond hair" He replied I looked over my shoulder and realised he was talking about Holly I felt my heart ache I had to stop thinking about her before people started to ask questions that I didn't want to answer.
"Doug, what's up?" Harry asked
"Huh nothing" I replied realising I hadn't spoke for the whole journey and now we were at my house, this is going to be some adventure but was that a good thing or not?
