Getting to Know You

by Kellylad13

(A&O high school story) Humphrey and Kate are seated next to each other in all classes because of the new school policy. They both soon realise that they have a lot more in common then they thought, and they become good friends. But what about more than friends? This is going to be one hell of a journey for the both of them, as well as their friends (M for mature scenes & language)

1. Table-Buddies

It was a normal day at school for Humphrey and Kate. Humphrey and Kate were in class 10A, the highest class in the year. To provide a background, on Monday there was a huge fight between 5 boys in the year. It's Friday now, and the school has decided to make a rule; to assign one boy and one girl as "Table-Buddies", basically they have to sit next to each other in all classes

They arrived into their form room to see their form teacher, Mr O'Neill. He told all the boys to stand at the back of the class, while the girls all sat at the tables by themselves, as he assigned them all to their new seats with their new table-buddies. He then called out for Humphrey. "Humphrey Richards?" "Yeah" Humphrey replied. "You will be sitting next to Kate Smith from now on" Mr O'Neill said pointing to a seat that was next to Kate

Humphrey's POV

I was eagerly waiting to see who I would be sitting with. I really hope its Kate. She is so beautiful. I have had a crush on her since I got moved up to class A in Year 8, but I never made a move. I thought she was so out of my league that I didn't even bother, and that I didn't even stand a chance. Then Mr O'Neill called out my name.

"Yeah" I replied, both nervous and eager to see who I was placed with

"You will be sitting next to Kate Smith from now on" Mr O'Neill said pointing to a seat that was next to Kate

I was so nervous. I and she don't really know each other that well. But I guess this was a chance to get to know each other. I wonder what she thought of this, probably disappointed that she's not with one of the "cool" guys

Kate's POV

Oh god, who is he going to sit me with. I hope he doesn't sit me next to a jerk. I hope it's that guy Humphrey , I don't know him that well, but what I've heard he's really friendly, and plus he is kind of cute. Ever since my friend Beth said she liked him, I couldn't help but think that. Hopefully he's nicer than Garth; he's being hitting on me for a long time. Why can't he get just except that I'm not interested

"Humphrey Richards"... "You will be sitting next to Kate Smith from now on"

'YAY' I screamed in my mind. Finally I get to know this guy. Beth's going to be so mad. Then I see the chair beside me being pulled. I looked and seen Humphrey sit beside me. His aftershave smelled nice and expensive. He then broke the small silence

"Hey there" he said making eye contact with me. My god his eyes were … mesmerizing. They were an ice blue, they were amazing

"Looks like we gonna be besties from now on" he said with a smile on his face. I couldn't help but smile as well

I can't wait to get to know him
