Hello people of Earth!! I have three mates over and we have just drunk coffee with loads of sugar!!

I am soooooooo hyper so I'm gonna write this!

Matt and his band, Wreck 55, has just moved to London for a year as part of a music exchange. His exchange partner, a Londoner called Nikkie Verdant, is flirting with Will and she can't say no, even though she wants to. So when Matt unexpectedly turns up after just three weeks of being away, things start to get ugly.

Will was woken up on a dreary Monday morning by a shrill beeping noise. Annoyingly it had gone off twenty minutes too late. Turning it off, she went to her wardrobe and picked out some tracksuit bottoms and a pink midriff bearing top with a frog in the middle.

'Mom?'She called out. Hearing no answer she ran into the kitchen and decided on skipping breakfast. There was a note taped to the refrigerator door. It read:

Dear Will,

I had an urgent phone call from work this morning and had to rush in quickly.

Could you please pick up some groceries on your way home from school?

Have a great day. I'll be home around ten.

Sighing, Will grabbed her school bag and headed out the door being careful to lock it behind her. She trudged down the stairs because the elevator was out of order. Once out of the apartment building she quickened her pace because she was already late. She was about a quarter of the way there when out of nowhere a bike skidded to a halt only three feet in front of her. It was Matt's exchange partner Nikkie Verdant. All of the band members had exchange partners but she had never actually met Nikkie. From afar he looked good enough to be a male model. With neck-length floppy brown hair that framed his face and the most intoxicating amber eyes she could tell why Irma had fallen for him. Up close he was even more amazing. She could see his amber eyes had little bits of gold etched into them, and his hair looked as soft as velvet. He still doesn't look as good as Matt, she thought.

'Will, right?' he asked with a thick estuary (Essex/London) accent.

'Yeah,' she replied.

'I'm Nikkie, do you need a lift, you look like you're running late?'

'Yeah, I'd love one. But aren't you late too?'

'I have wheels,' he said smirking.

'Good point.' She said blushing. Why on earth am I blushing?? She screamed internally.

'Hop on then,' he said gesturing to the handlebars of his bike.

Within five minutes they were at the school. She got off the handlebars and thanked Nikkie.

'The pleasure is all mine,' he said kissing her on the cheek.

'Are all Brits such gentlemen?' she asked.

'No, trust me if you saw my mates you'd go off the British in a flash. I'm making a special effort for your benefit m'lady. Should I bow now?' he said teasingly.



As she walked off, Irma and Hay Lin practically knocked over when they came running up to her.

'Do my eyes deceive me?' Irma wailed, 'or did Nikkie Verdant just kiss you? I want details!'

'Calm down, he gave me ride to school on his bike because I was running late. Then he started teasing me about thinking all Brits were gentlemen. That's all.' Said Will.

'That's all! THAT'S ALL! This is major news; didn't you see how every girl around you was giving you the evil eye??'

Truth be told, Will had noticed every girl was scowling, but she hadn't thought it was anything to do with her.

BRIIIIIIIIINNG!

'Well, there goes the bell. So, you're saved, for now Will. Meanwhile, me and Hay Lin have History.'

'Oh fun,' said Hay Lin her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Will turned around, scanning the crowd for her best friend Taranee. Spotting her about ten feet away she quickly ran over to her. Smiling Taranee linked arms with Will and they both started the long walk to the Maths Corridor.

'Thank God. Lunch,' sighed Irma sitting on the grass with Will, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin.

'How was Meridian, Cornelia?' asked Taranee as Cornelia had visited her best friend Elyon on her home world last night.

'It was great, Elyon's gotten taller! And guess what? I caught her kissing the cook's son, what's his name?'

'Elliot. Ha ha. Elyon and Elliot.' Irma giggled.

'Shut up, Irma. I think it's great she has found someone.' said Will. 'Oh bugger!'

'What?' asked Taranee.

'Detention with Ms. Rudolph!'

'Quick, Will, run!!' shouted Hay Lin

Will was running towards her maths class when she crashed head first into Nikkie.

'Woah,' he said putting his arms out to steady her. 'Why are you in such a rush?'

'Detention... Maths... Late...' Will panted.

'Why?'

'I failed the last test.'

'Oh, I can tutor you if you want?' he offered.

'Sure, when?'

'How about... Tonight? At the Golden Diner?'

'Sure.'

'Sick, I'll meet you at half four?'

'Yeah, see ya.'

'Good luck,' he said saluting her before continuing to walk away.

Reaching her Maths room, Will burst in shouting 'Sorry I'm late!'

At half four Will stood waiting outside the Golden Diner.

'Hey Will!' someone called her name. She turned around to see Nikkie coming towards her.



They walked inside and snagged themselves a booth. Nikkie ordered them both some juice and then they got to work on her homework. Every now and again Nikkie would put his hand on top of hers to correct a few, well a lot, of things, and Will couldn't stop herself from blushing.

Once they were done Nikkie walked her back to the apartment complex and insisted on walking her to the door.

'Are you sure all Brits aren't gentlemen?' she said playfully.

'Well, the women definitely aren't. And most of the men are tossers. You see I'm the one exception.'

'Oh you are, are you?'

'I most certainly am,' he said moving closer.

Shouldn't I be stopping him? She asked herself. Instead she tilted her head up and then their lips met and she lost all train of thought.

After about a minute she was closing the door behind her sighing. I shouldn't have done that she thought.

Then she heard Nikkie shout and something hit the wall. Sticking her head outside the door she saw Nikkie being pinned against the wall by...

'Matt...' she whispered.

Well, there's the first chappie. I hope you enjoyed. I have no idea what to do for the next one. So I need SUGGESTIONS!! What will Matt do to Nikkie? Will he forgive Will? I'll carry on when I get five suggestions or reviews, or both!!

Credit will be given to whoever's idea I choose.
