If you were trying to act cool, you failed.
Jack and Jamie were walking through the woods that were close to Jamie's childhood home. Jamie had had a rough day at school and hadn't felt like playing in the snow, but he wasn't going to pass up the chance to hang out with his best friend. That landed them in the woods a little off the street so that they could talk without Jamie getting strange looks.
They'd been out for a while and the sun was starting to set. Jamie sighed.
"I should head home."
Jack sent him a crocked grin. "Alright."
They left the shelter of the trees to make their way toward the street. Outside Jamie's house, he stopped. Several feet ahead of the two boys a very pretty girl was walking their way. As she made her way pass them, smiling at Jamie, he went to lean on the street lamp that was behind him. Or he thought was behind him, he missed it by a good foot. They heard giggling as the girl walked into the house they had stopped in front of.
Jack burst out laughing after the door had closed. "If you were trying to act cool, I'm pretty sure you failed." He said as he held his hand out to help his friend up. "Who was that anyway?"
"That's Alice. She and her family moved in a few years back."
"I never noticed."
Jamie shrugged. "It was over the summer. They keep to themselves for the most part, but the family's really nice."
"And Alice?"
"She's a few years older than me so I didn't think that she'd be able to see you. We get along fine and she's very pretty, but that's about all there is." Jamie said as he walked up the steps and opened the front door.
"Is that all?"
Jamie smiled. "She's got a younger brother that's Sophie's age. We're telling him everything about you and the others."
"Okay."
Jamie turned to give him a smirk that rivaled his own. "He can't wait to meet you. I told him sometime this week you'd be around."
"No way!"
"One believer at a time if that's what it takes. So, tomorrow?"
"Defiantly."
"Alright, I'm gonna take a nap. I'll see you later Jack."
"See you."
Jack waved then made to leave, but Jamie grabbed him into a hug. He let go quickly then went up to his room to sleep off the day.
A/N Wow this note does not want to be written. This is my fourth attempt. Okay, so, I just finished the other story I had been writing so now that it's done I can focus more on this one and hopefully update normally (though I'm known for not doing so.) Hope you all enjoyed. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
