Honey.

'Ready to leave?' I called out to Charmaine.

'Yep, be down in a minute' she shouted back.

I looked back at the hall way mirror and applied some Vaseline that was the only 'make-up' I needed. I don't roll with dry lips. Heavy footsteps came down the stairs and I saw Charmaine slip on her vans.

'Let's go, bye lamar' she called out.

'I think he's asleep babes' I said smugly, I knew him better than her and knew he would till be asleep till this time. It was only 7.45.

'Bye' a deep voice rumbled at the top of the stairs. I turned around to see Lamar standing on the landing in just his boxers and topless. I saw Charmaine turn towards me and smile,

'Guess he's not ' I mumbled

'Bye' she chirped again and we left immediately after.

'So...what happened while I was away from school?' I said casually changing the subject.

'Not much' she said avoiding the subject.

'Please tell me, what happened between you and Rae'melle?' I asked masking the slight bitterness behind my tone.

'Oh, we just...fell out. I'd rather not talk about it.'

'Okay, do you want to go to the shop?'

'Yep'

So we took a detour to the corner shop down the road.

'£2.10 please'

'Are you mad? Skittles, Lucozade and a chocolate bar for £2.10?'

'Yes sir, take it or leave it'

'Humph'

I looked up just in time to avoid banging into the persons chest.

'Oh hi you'

I looked higher, towards the face, to see Kyle smiling glumly at me 'oh it's you again, why are you just always there wherever I turn'

'Ouch, way to kick someone when their down'

'And why exactly are you down?'

'This man has thieved my money' he said frowning and turning to screw the man behind the till.

'It's just £2.10 big deal'

'Yeah, I can get a shape up for £3.00'

'Alright Alright, keep you horse boots on'

'Are you trying to mock it' he said raising one eye brow

'Not even' I replied giggling

'Sorry to break up your petty flirting but I need to go to school' Charmaine butted in rudely.

'Yeah okay, bye Kyle see you later' and then I clocked the uniform he was wearing 'what school do you go to?'

'I'm transferring today from heathercrow academy'

'Look I didn't ask you where you went? Are you attending St Marys '

'Well if you kept listening I would have got there, yes I am, and it seems you are too'

'Yeah, want to walk with us?'

'Wow way to ask me if I was okay with this arrangement' Charmaine nearly screamed. We both turned to look at her. She stared back suddenly sheepish, 'what I'm stressed'
