Melody was a blond, fit, freshman and that guy, Eric was a senior, a little buffed,a little scary,br / but so handsome and his smile made him look like an angel.

''Umm, yeah sure, why not'' She later walked to the park and found them, everything was good until she saw Alex chilling br /with them. It wasn't something really unusual but she just wasn't expecting it. She sat next to Alex and while all the others were talking to br /each other and rolling a joint, she was silent. ''Ugh this is so awkward idk why, all these girls are looking at me like I've murdered someonebr /and Eric is with his friends.. what am I doing here?'' she thought.

So, I didn't ask you yesterday because of the fight we had, are you okay, you werebr /ill right?'' ''Yeah I was, you cant imagine I was in bed all day'' ''I'd never realized that he is much more handsome than Eric. I mean Ericbr /is driving me crazy but Alex is so cute and difficult to understand, he's like a mystery'' she thought ''Are you listening?'' he asked ''OH, yeah sorrybr /I was just thinking about something'' .''LET'S GO KIDDO'' said Eric and she was little annoyed by the fact that he called her kiddo, that's only br /between her and Alex, but it sure was cute because everything Eric says is cute for /br /As they were walking home Eric put his arm around Melody's shoulders and tried to kiss her while walking. As he was trying to reach her lips he BAAMbr /hit his head on a pole on the sidewalk. Eric had fallen on the floor because he was in pain and so did Melody, but because of laughter. What happened madebr /Melody fall even more for him because of how 'cute' the moment was, she was the only one who saw it, it was span style="text-decoration: underline;"their/span funny moment (or at least hers br /'cause Eric didn't find it THAT funny) They continued walking and it started to rain again.

'' ''FINE FINE'' he /They went to his room on the second floor and he gave her a huge T-shirt and a boy's pair of pants. She looked in the mirror with a huge smile on her face. She started to smellbr /his clothes, he wasn't wearing any cologne, it was just a marvelous smell of his skin, the one that she smells every time she hugs him, or kisses him, or just standing close to /He later grabbed her from her waist and started to spin around while hugging her.

He suddenly put his hands on the wall, caging her and closing the gap between them slowly..then he whispered ''Doesbr /it seem like I do?'' then she gulped. He got away from her and said ''Sleep with me tonight'' she panicked but tried not to show it ''Well, you know I..'' ''NO,not sex, I said sleep, lets justbr /sleep together once'' ''I don't know..what will I say to my mother'' ''Anyway we'll find that out later, lets watch a movie now'' They were watching a movie while lying on his bed, the time wasbr /near 11.00 o'clock at night now since they had spend most of their time talking and stuff. Melody started to kiss Eric on his neck while they were watching the movie, he just pushed her head awaybr /and said ''Shhhh, I'm trying to watch the movie'' '' Aw c'mon now, I'll leave in awhile. GIVE ME ATTENTION'' ''Shhhh, this is a good part'' ''THEY ARE MAKING OUT, TAKE EXAMPLE'' ''shhhh''.br /The movie was finally over and he turned around to kiss her.

''I'm coming right away'' Melody said and was actually there in like, 5 minutes, she went in Naomi's and Alex's room and just sat there comforted Naomi,br /explained to Melody's parents what was going on and they started playing a game on Naomi's Ipad to forget everything and relax. They started laughing and Melody told Naomibr /sbout what Alex had told her about Eric. Naomi didn't know anything about that but she didn't like Eric either ''But why'' Melody thought.. ''Anyway, let's look what Alex was doingbr /on the Ipad lastnight, go to internet's history'' and so did Naomi, ''He was looking at your facebook profile all night'' said Naomi ''Oh, go to the older ones'' said Melody ''He was...ughhh ewww,br /he was watching..you know what'' said Naomi and Melody started to laugh. ''Lets tease him about it when he gets back'' Melody proposed ''Yeahhhh, but my parents said they might be late, don't you need to br /study?''
