Yes, I'm back again! This story has been in my mind for a while, and I've been umming and aahing with various scenarios, and this is the one I've chosen, so I hope you enjoy it…

Freddie Roscoe and Lindsey Butterfield had been best friends since year 9. Lindsey had been the new girl, and Freddie had been asked to look after her, show her around and make sure she was okay. From that first day, both had felt a bond that they couldn't explain, and didn't want to. No one else seemed to get their close friendship. Lindsey could tell Freddie anything, and vice versa. She was always the first person he went to when he had a problem, and the same went for her. She loved him. He was her best friend and her rock. Nothing would ever change that…

"Freddie, Lindsey's here" Sandy shouted up the stairs to her second eldest son on their first morning of sixth form "you nervous, darling?"

"A bit, not as much as I thought I would be though" she admitted as she followed Freddie's Mum into the house and shut the front door behind her

"Freddie, did you hear me?" Sandy proclaimed

"Yes" he replied "I'll be down in a minute"

"Come on through, Linds. I'll make you a cuppa. You know what that boy's like" she sighed

Smiling warmly, Lindsey followed Sandy into the kitchen and sat down at the breakfast bar, watching Sandy move around the kitchen, making her a cup of tea…

"What subjects are you doing again, darling?" she asked, setting a cup of tea down in front of Lindsey a couple of minutes later

"Art, Media Studies and Science" Lindsey informed her

Sandy smiled warmly at her… "You'll excel at all your subjects, just like in school"

"Stop hassling the poor girl, Mum" Freddie chuckled as he walked into the kitchen

"Shut it, you" Sandy proclaimed, hitting her son playfully "what do you think you're doing?"

"Having some breakfast" he informed her

"No, you're running late as it is, and I won't have you or Lindsey being late on your first day" she replied "get something on the way. Off you go"

"Mum, I'm starving" he whined

"You should've gotten up earlier then, shouldn't you?" she questioned

"Thanks for the tea, Sand. See you soon" Lindsey replied, making her way out of the kitchen

"Leaving without me?" Freddie asked

"I don't wanna be late for sixth form just because you couldn't get out of your pit" she admitted

"Fine" he sighed "I'm coming, but we're stopping at Price Slice on the way"

"Fine" Lindsey mirrored, handing him his car keys as they made their way out of the house

LINDSEY'S POV:

Freddie and I made our way into the sixth form common room just before the bell rang. The whole of the sixth form had been asked to meet there so they could be informed of which tutor they'd be assigned to and taken on a tour of the college, just to refresh their memory after the 6 week holiday…

"See you at lunch, yeah?" I questioned as we made our way back into the common room to collect our bags

"Chips on me, to make up for you almost being late?" he suggested

I nodded my head, signalling yes… "I'll meet you at the gates at 12pm"

"It's a date" he informed me, kissing my cheek as we both went our separate ways
