"Just stay away from me", Rae turned and fled the shop leaving her newly purchased cd's on the counter.

All the way home Rae tried to fathom what had just happened. This boy was definitely trying to think of a way to humiliate her when college starts. She tried to comprehend how this lad even knew her. And him following her, that was just weird! Worst of all, it all happened in front of the beautiful brown eyed boy that worked in her favourite shop. She was halfway home when she realised that she'd left her new tunes behind. After careful consideration she decided it would be safer to go back for them immediately. The weird boy would probably have left already.

When Rae arrives back at the shop, she can hear shouting and it seems that the boy Simmy is still there and he's arguing with Mr freckles. The door was left ajar from when Rae scarpered out of it before, so she could hear what was going on;

"I'm not gonna ask again Simmy, what you upta wi Rae?"

"What's it to you anway Finn?" Simon flushed red, he hadn't expected any of this. He'd never worked out how to approach Rae - she was so cool, so funny, and pretty, what could he say to her? But when he heard Finn bloody Nelson flirting with her he felt he just had to do something.

Finn was staring straight at him like he could read his mind, "You fancy her don't yer?"

"Fuck off, have you seen her why would I fancy that?"

"Errrrr cos she's hot, smart and funny"

"What's wrong wi you Nelson, her best friend not enough for yer?"

"What you talkin about? What best friend"

"Chloe Gemmell"

"I'm not wi Chloe - what she's friends wi Chloe? How comes she's never wit Chloe?"

"You'll hafter ask her that. Anyway hand them cd's over and I'll take em to Rachel"

"You're not going anywhere near Rae, I'll take em to her"

"I know your game Nelson, and you're not getting her. If you go out wi' her I'm gonna give her a prize winning nickname at college"

"You wouldn't do it - you, you, you like her too much", Finn was worried by this turn of event. He'd liked Mae for weeks and was going to ask her out

"You wanna bet? Why'd yer think I named Chinderella?….
