Mathias Smart and Hylas Shag-a-bottom version 1

Hylas Shag-a-bottom was a young school boy of only 15 years old. His best friend Mathias Smart, a shorter lad of the same age, was happily conversing to a young female.

"Mathias, my friend, why do you seem so lonely?" said the female.

"I don't know why. I just rather to be alone…" spoke Mathias.

"Hylas, how much do you love Mathias?" the young girl spoke gingerly.

"I love him lots, but as a friend only." Hylas replied.

"Okay…"

"Jazmine, are you lonely?" Mathias questioned.

"Yes." Jazmine answered whilst pulling a silly sad face.

"Why not find somebody, then?" stammered Hylas.

"Hylas, she will find someone in her own time." Mathias replied.

"Thanks Matt."

"Your welcome."

Mathias spoke softly to Jazmine for as long as he could during the time he was standing there during their lunch break. Hylas continued to finish his lunch off and then put his fingers through his long golden brown hair and pushed it backwards out of his face. His face is of a pale pasty white whit the beautiful blue eyes in the centre of his face each side his nose bridge. With his pale pink lips and not so broad shoulders he was a kind pleasant made him a very kind and pleasant young man. Never having wanting to hurt anyone, for no reason. Shifting his weight from foot to foot he balanced himself carefully on his feet whilst straightening his arched over back. In the distance he watched Mathias flirting with the girl that he thought was better than a friend, Jazmine. His mind followed a series of continuous thoughts, which initially was a way of getting a girl for him for once in his life.

Stride by stride he thought of what he was going to do. All the possibilities it could lead to or end up with. With all passion and care, his mind wondered into a speech. As he approached Mathias and Jazmine he concluded on asking 'Do you like me?' and asking Mathias if he had a 'crush' on Jazmine.

"Jazmine, do you even like me?" questioned Hylas.

"Why, yes of course, because you are my friend!" replied Jazmine.

"Look I just wanted to know…" Hylas trailed off.

"No, you're up to something." Mathias questioned as he was very puzzled.

"Why would I do that?"

"I don't know but you need to tell us what you are planning!" exclaimed Mathias.

"I'm not planning anything, okay?" Hylas stammered.

"Fine!"

"Anyway I was wondering if you have a crush on Jazmine?" Hylas revised.

"No, but do you?"

"As I said 'why would I do that'?" Hylas reminded them.

"I think you do…"

"Aw that's sweet Hylas, don't worry." Jazmine replied.

"That's okay for you to say." Hylas muttered.

"Yeah, I'm sorry pal."

"I've got to face the facts," spoke Hylas whilst he showed a grin with a cheeky smile. "that I'm just not wanted."

"So, this is what you were planning!" Mathias stammered.

"You're so mean Matt." Hylas said.

With that Hylas walked away from his friends. For once he started to cry through his softened heart and his hurt true blue eyes.

"Hylas is right that was mean, Mathias." Spoke Jazmine. "I'm disappointed in you."

"Jeez Jaz don't side with him." Mathias grumbled. "You deserve more than him to be honest."

"Oh please don't tell me that!" whinged Jazmine. "Maybe you like me too!"

"No, I don't thank you!" Mathias moaned. "Or do you like Hylas?"

"Yes."

"By any chance, more than a friend?"

"I…do I guess… I'm going to find him!" stated Jazmine.

From behind Hylas could hear footsteps running, however, a lot of kids in the lower school years ran around the school. With the tears from his face glistening in the sunlight off his pale white face. He did not worry about what was coming after him. Or the fact he was so lost in his own thoughts that who was running after him and shouting his name did he not take any notice. After a few moments he decided to turn around to find Jazmine running after him. The runner ran straight into him and he found out that the runner was a girl but it was no ordinary girl. It was Jazmine after a few moments he decided it was better to cuddle her. Through her tears and his tears she decided to speak to him.

"Hylas, I love you too!" Jazmine muttered under her breath.

"I'm so glad." spoke Hylas.
