of the cupboard. I placed it on the side and wondered into the living room to check on mum and Kayleigh. Kayleigh was now awake and watching cartoons. I leaned against the door frame and made a little cough, catching her attention. Her head swung back and she stared at me. "SAVHIIEEEE!" She screamed, causing mum to wake up.

"Kayy!" I laughed as she ran and jumped towards me. I held her up and gave her a hug.
"Long day huh mum?" I asked as she looked at me yawning.
"Yeah. I've got to work late tomorrow. Could you possibly leave early and look after Kayleigh for me please Hun?"
"Sure mum" I smiled as i looked at Kayleigh who was now yawning in my arms.
"I'll put her to bed shall i?" I asked mum, who was now sleeping again.
I put Kayleigh down, and took her hand.
"Say night night to mum Kayy."
"Night Mummy." Kayleigh yawned.

We began to make our way upstairs and to her room. Light purple and white. Perfect for her. She was a spring born baby, she loved light colours, and everything spring time, she was only nine but she still gets treated like shes four. It's because mum and dad love her so much. She's their little angel. Unlike me. She climbed into her bed and waited for me to tuck her in. I lent over and began to pull her cover over her.

"Will mum be home tomorrow?" she asked me as she rubbed her sleepy little eyes.
"No, she wont be. BUT! You'll be getting to spend all day with your big sister! We'll have something special for dinner too" I smiled at her as i began to stand up properly.
"Wahhh" She squealed with excitement.
"If you go to sleep now we might have a extra special desert too" I giggled.
She quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
"Night Night Kayy." I said as I tucked her hair behind her ear, and gently kissed her forehead. "Nightie Savhie." She replied in her sleepy voice.

I began to walk out her room, and back downstairs to wake up mum so she could go to her bed too. "Mum... Mum..."
"Huhhh?!" she yawned
"I think you should go up to your bed" I slowly spoke to her.
She began to yawnn again and started to stand up from the chair. aimlessly wondering her sleepy self upstairs to bed.
"Night Savh, love you" she shouted down to me.

I was now back in the kitchen, i filled the kettle up with water and let it boil, pulled off the lid for my Ramen too. Oh my cheeseballs. Kirai! I forgot to message her. I began to look for my phone. I searched my Pyjama shorts pockets. Not there. I looked under all my homework. Still not there. I ran up the stairs to my room, throwing about my stuff. "no no no! where is my phone. I couldn't have lsot it" i thought aloud. "Gahh" i grabbed my school bad and emptied it all over the floor. I began to move everything. Its not there. I ran my fingers backwards through my hair. There's no way it could have dropped and still be back there.


I ran to my closet and grabbed my grey sweats, and pulled them on. I grabbed my blue converse and pulled them on too. Picking up my keys I ran downstairs. Gah. Still haven't made my Ramen. I stared at the pot on the kitchen counter. Hmmm.. Now.. Later.. What to do. I needed my phone, but I needed to eat too. I saw mum's purse on the side. I grabbed it and quickly pulled out 10 bucks. I'll give her the money back when I'm home. I threw it back and headed to the door. I opened and closed it as quietly as i possibly could. I made my way down the drive, and started walking. I pulled out my iPod and started to listen to music. Skip.
Tears Don't Fall. Nope. Skip. Just The Way You Are. Nope. Skip. Mindset. Nope. Skip. If You Can't Hang. Perfect.


"Met a girl at seventeen, Thought she meant the world to me, So I gave her everything, She turned out to be a cheat, Said she'd been thinking for a long time, And she found somebody new, I've been thinking that this whole time.."

I turned in to a shop and quickly picked up a Hershey's bar and a big can of Monster, paid for it and left. Just what I needed. I took a bite into the dark chocolate Hershey's bar. As the bitter taste past my lips. My tummy growled for more. So i gave it more. I kept walking down, the road to where it all began. Flash backs hits me. The Silver and blue, sunburst mark that traced his neck. His eyes. Those gorgeous emerald green jewels. My tummy began to build up with butterflies. My face heated up. My cheeks turning red. I smiled as i walked looking down at the ground. I was there.

I frooze. Looking around. No one was to be seen. Well who would. It's 11pm. I walked around in circle where we laid. Images of him strandling me flashed though my head. I felt like i was gaining more and more feelings for him. my cheeks was burning. I couldnt take this anymore. I wanted to see him again. I really did. But who was he. Where was he. Was he even real or just a figure of my imagination.

I stood there. Staring at the ground. Kicking around the snow and ice. Wondering where in the world was my phone. A slight cough came from a near by bench. It scared me, i turned my head to the person sitting there. It was him.

"Hello Stranger" He called out, waving at me with one hand and fumbling with my phone in the other.
Chapter 3

I began to walk over to the bench. He patted the seat next to him. I didn't sit, I didn't really have time for that.

 

"Told you I'll see you around." He smiled at me. He looked me up and down.  "Aint it a bit chilly to be wearing just sweats right now." He asked, without hesitating.  "Erm, I don't get cold easily. Can i just have my phone back?" I pointed out to him. He was still fumbling my phone in his hand.  "Finders keepers" He smirked at me.  "Fine. Keep it. I'll just get it blocked off anyway." I proclaimed as i turned around and started to make my way back home.  "Well your one for words now. Before you was stuttering all over the place." He called out as i walked. "Well if you was the one to lose something and wanted it back you wouldn't stutter now would you." I stopped in my tracks and called back to him. He got up out of the seat and jogged lightly towards me.

 

"I was just joking with you Savh." He chuckled.  "Well it's not funny, plus how in the world do you know my name?!" I wondered.  "Well, you do go to my school right? Fieldwaters. Your always with that Karai girl." He pointed out.  "Yeah, i go there, and there is nothing wrong with Karai. Stalking much?" I laughed.  "Nope, just that i know almost everyone in the school." He chuckled.  I had seen him around school but never paid him any attention. I just really wanted to study get a good job and keep up with my bestie Karai. Most awesomest girl in the world. She was like a sister to me. "Okay dude. Popular person walking through here." I said sarcastically  "It's Beau actually. Not dude." He decalred. His face had disaprovement written all over it.  "Okay Beau Actually. Are you going to give my phone back or can i just leave and go home?" I reminded him.  "Oh funny one Savh." He smiled.  "Stop calling me Savh. It's Savannah to you. You don't know me as well as those who call me Savh."  "Hah, I know you more then you think. Savh.." he paused. I began to look at him with annoyance. "annah. Well here your phone." He stretched out his hand with my phone in to me. I went to grab it, but he pulled it back.  "Tut tut, not soo fast. I want a reward first." Beau smirked at me and began to bite his lower lip and looked at mine.

 

My eyes widen and my cheeks began to burn. Blushing again?! Gahh. I quickly covered my cheeks, rolled my eyes at him and began to walk away.

 

"Aww Savhie Poo. Not even a tiny little one on my cheek." Beau whined like a little puppy waiting for food. What harm could that do? Give him a little kiss on his cheek. Get my phone and go home. My cheeks still burned. Not just from him biting his lips but from him calling me Savhie Poo. No one has ever called me that. I turned back to him. Beau had his head down. "Its Savannah! and Fine I'm only doing this to get my phone back." I sighed. His head shot up. A smile whipped across his face. His eyes glistened, the green shining brighter then before. I walked back over to him. "Trade for trade at the same time" Beau said. Placing the tip of my phone in the palm of my hand, while he leaned over turning his cheek to my lips. I tighten my grip on my phone as did he. Somehow he must of known that I would try and pull it away, leaving him kiss-less. I guess I had no choice but to give him a kiss on the cheek. I started to lean forward, moving my lips closer to his rosey peach cheek. I closed my eyes as I did so. My lips hit his cheek. It was warm. Warmer then what I expected. As outside was chilly, I though his cheeks would be cold.

 

I began to pull my face back. By this time he had let go of my phone. Where was his hands?! I felt a grip on both sides of my cheeks. His soft but yet so cold palms, placed on either side. I tried to talk "Beau..." I murmured but I was silenced with a kiss. H-H-He kissed m-me. My eyes widen, while his was shut. He wanted more, but I denied even though I wanted more too. Some reason I knew I shouldn't. I started to pull away from him. He let go of me. I stumbled backwards covered my mouth, his eyes filled with regret. "Y-Yo-You kissed me." I started to stutter. I stared at him. He stared back. I was in shock I didn't know what to do. I wanted to kiss him from before, and i still do now. He held his head down. "I'm sorry Savannah." he whispered.  "It's okay.. I kinda erm wanted ahh to kiss you erm before
