I lay awake in my bed looking out of my window,the sun shining, not a cloud in the sky it was going to be a hot Saturday, better get up i thought to myself, when my phone buzzed showing a text from my best friend Jacob, asking me to go to our local hangout Abboc court, I texted him back "meet you there at 1 who else is going? M x" I didn't want to spend my weekend with my ex boyfriend Will, it wasn't because we had a terrible break up, it was just he was so childish and god was he annoying, almost everyone who met him took an instant dislike to him, hind sight is great and all it's just a shame I wasted over a year of my time on him, I jumped out of bed and quickly discarded my clothes ready to take a shower. 10 minutes later I was standing in my room in my undies when my phone buzzed again, picking it up I noticed a reply from Jacob "will do, db won't be there Hun, some new people though J x" new people? I wondered to myself, I returned to my wardrobe pulling top after top out, I was suddenly nervous about what to wear, why I'd didn't know I'd never been one to spend forever dressing, I wore what I liked not what was fashionable, and makeup and hair...forget it, had I grown up with a mother that wasn't severely depressed and paid no mind to me and my 2 brothers then I might of had a chance.

I finally settled on a baby blue tank top and light grey skinny jeans, I slipped my converse on, brushed my hair and made my way downstairs, after having breakfast, I relayed to my dad my plans picked up my iPod and left.

Finally arriving at the top of the hill at my spot under the willow tree, i sat on the bench and waited, as I sat I looked down the hill and saw 6 or 7 boys playing football, I was cut from my view by Jacob leaning in front of me "earth to Maisie" he laughed as I looked up at him "oh, sorry J, was distracted" he shook his head and laughed "so I see, Cassie and Mel are on their way and db again won't be coming, thank god" I had to laugh db stood for douche bag and was my exes newest nickname, " what about the others.." Jacob sat on the plush grass in front of me, " everyone is coming, they are always late you know that" that was true my friends went by there own clocks.

" so J who are these new people that are coming?" To say I was nervous was an understatement, I was always a shy person and meeting new people never settled well with me, I was the kind of person that when you get to know me you love, but before then it's well the opposite, I always saw myself as a trust worthy loyal person and I would do almost anything for my friends, I was brought back from my thoughts by Jacob talking "we'll there friends of Kristin's, its a group, there older then us" I wondered who was in this group, as a rule, in school you have the popular, the nerds, the weirdos and well we weren't that, we were a mix of it all girls,boys weird ones and popular ones, and it worked for the most part, we were 16 and fresh from school ready to enjoy our friends till we had to go to college.

"J, do you know any of them? Girls or boys?" He laughed " sweet, it will be fine stop worrying, you will be with your friends, ill save you if you start stuttering...again" he knew me so well, how I was going to manage at college I had no idea, "but it's all guys as far as I know, mainly a year older then us, they went to an all boys school, ha can you believe that, lucky sob's" ah yes being 16 and gay at a mixed school wasn't the easiest way to bag a boyfriend, but Jacob managed well, I was surprised that it was only a bunch of guys, it made me worry less, I wasn't interested in guys much, and having two brothers made it easier for me to get along with guys, I always found girls to be too bitchy, "I'm sure none of them see it that way, unless they are gay too, they probably hate the lack of girls" we both giggled, we sat talking for a few hours, I looked down the hill I noticed Kristin and Abbie talking to the boys I noticed earlier, then she and Abbie started to walk up..with them.

I coughed and Jacob looked up and I nudged my head to the left of me and he immediately turned around, "woo, looks like our Boys are here Mai" I blushed as 5 guys made there way up with Abbie and Kristin, one in particular catching my eye, he has chocolate brown hair and soft curls and his eyes were a light blue with the thickest darkest eyelashes I'd ever seen surrounding them, " Ab, Krist! You finally showed up" Jacob stood and hugged them as I looked on, "sorry guys, we got caught up, hey Mai" I turned to Abbie and smiled "alright Abz, Krist" and I smiled up at them, " so you gonna introduce these fine pieces or what?" I noticed how one or two of the guys looked on uncomfortably "oh my bad, this is Tom, Leo, Mark, David, and Danny" so this hottie was called Danny, I had to use all my strength to keep my eyes from staring at him.

After an hour the rest of my friends showed up and conversation was flowing, "Maisie, baby could you come with me for a second" I looked over at Dom and Jacob staring at me I stood and walked over to them eyeing them sceptically, Dom had been Jacobs boyfriend on and off for a year and the look they were giving each other meant one thing, they were plotting." what can I do for you?" Dom grabbed my hand and pulled me closer " Mai, if you hadn't noticed already one of those guys has been making eyes at you for most of today, and I've seen you looked at him a time or two as well" I immediately blushed, the last thing I needed was these two getting involved " I don't know what your talking about, he could of been looking at anyone, and well.." I couldn't lie Jacob had been my best friend for so long he'd see threw it " he's bloody gorgeous" they both looked at me with Cheshire Cat smiles "so go talk to him" I had to laugh and their was me thinking they knew me, to say for me to go and talk to him..had they gone mad, clearly "are you mad, I can barley look at him" In my whole 16 years I had only had one boyfriend, and that was pure connivence, I guess to some level I liked him, I had no experience with guys other then pure friendship.

I knew that regardless of me telling them no i wouldn't just simply go and speak to him, by the end of the night I would in fact end up talking to Danny, Dom would see too that, it made it easier, nothing worse then going up to a guy you like and then him shutting you down, it's much easier to act like you don't care when it looks like your friend is pushing you into it, so that is exactly how it happened, watched as Dom walked up to Danny and started a conversation about god only knows what, then having Jacob grabbing my arm pulling me into a circle with them, "oh Mai, Jacob this is Danny, J can I speak to you a second" sneaky bastards "hey Mai is it? Are you enjoying your night?" God I could swoon right snow looking into his eyes as he speaks to me, "it's Maisie, but my friends or should I say foe's call me Mai" he laughed as I glared at Dom and Jacob.

I spent the rest of my night talking to Danny about everything and anything, Jacob came over declaring it was getting late and wondered if I wanted to stay with 'dashing Danny' or if I'd like him to take me home, Danny laughed and blushed at his nickname, " I'll come with you, it's nearly 10 and my ad would kill me if I am late, it was nice meeting you Danny, see you around" and I don't know why but I leant in and kissed him, it was a soft chaste kiss, nothing more then what you'd give your grandmother, but for me It was beyond out of character, I smiled up and him and walked away. "'Mai, what was that?"

I looked at my friend and shrugged, because I didn't have a clue what had just happened, all I knew is Danny Black affected me like no other ever had.
