"your turn" I say and he chuckled lightly

"my name is chase I'm 17 , I also love music, my favourite colour is green, oh and I hate homework" he says jokingly at the end

I chuckle, wait homework! oh no I forgot I have to do Tia's homework, shit!

" I have to go, I have work to do" I say grabbing my bag

"wait, can I have your number so we can meet up again?"

"sure" we exchange numbers and I quickly run off

"bye, thanks for the ice cream" I shout


Chase pov

Ever since that day I can't stop thinking about Hope, I have to see her again. I remembered what school she went to because of her uniform. so on my way home I decided to walk a different way which was past her school, just in case I stumble into her and I did

I saw hope walking out of the gate when a girl runs up to her

"I need you to do this homework for me " she says and shoves her homework at Hope

" I need it done by tomorrow afternoon"

" y-yes ok, no problem" Hope says looking scared

"good if its not done you know what will happen" she says coldly and I frown

this girl was really starting to irritate me who does she think she is

Hope nod then the girl walks away.

"cow" I hear Hope say quietly

"hey, Hope right ?" I say

she turns around to face me

"yeah, hey" she says

"you shouldn't let her treat you like that you know" I say, Hoping I'm not sticking my nose in her business 

" I know" she says quietly while looking down

"hey so uh do u want to go and get ice cream" I say scratching my neck

" sure"

we got our ice cream and sat down on a bench.

"so tell me about yourself" I say

"what would you like to know? " she says 

"anything"

"ok, I am 16 years old I love music and art, my favourite colour is blue, I love animals, my favourite animal is a bunny. " she says with a smile at the end

straight away I knew it was her, all this time I had been looking for her and I finally found her but does she remember me? ha of course she wouldn't! Don't be stupid chase, It's been years.

"your turn" she says

"my name is chase I'm 17 . I also love music.my favourite colour is green, oh and I hate school and homework" I joke at the end

she chuckles then looks like she forgot something

" I have to go, I have work to do" I says quickly grabbing her bag  

"wait, can I have your number so we can meet up again?" I say, great now I just look desperate. Nice one chase  

"sure" she says with a smile after we swap numbers she runs off

"bye, thanks for the ice cream" she shouts to be and I watch her run off


I cant believe I found her. I will find a way to get her to remember me. I won't lose her again.


Hopes pov

I quickly ran home, as soon as I got through the door I hear my mum.

"Hope where have you been?"

"sorry I was getting ice cream" I say placing my bag down

"with who ?" she says

"just a friend"

"Tia ?" she asks

"err sure " I say quietly

"what was that?"

"yes I went to get ice cream with Tia, sorry I was late mum" I say, I would tell her I was with chase but she would just ask lots of questions and I cant be bothered with that so its just easier to lie.

"its ok just please tell me next time"

I nod quickly, as I was going to walk away my mum stops me again

"Hope I heard you got your school report today can I have a look" oh no I totally forgot I was given that today.

"yeah" I say as I am getting it out of my bag.

I give the report to my mum she opens it t looks at me with a glare

"what's wrong ?" I ask

she sighs and puts the report on the table

"for gods sake hope your failing every class" she says sounding annoyed

"I'm sorry mum, I struggle in class I don't understand it" I say

"why can't you be more like your brother, he had high grades when he was your age and is now at university and you can't even get a simple grade" she says raising her voice

I felt anger rise in me, I hated it when she compared me to my brother

"I'm not him mum" I say while looking down trying not to explode

"what happens if you don't pass your classes? you wont get in to a good college and then you cant go to university like your brother. Do you want to end up working in Mc Donald's? I expected more from you Hope, your brother never failed to let us down "

that's it I cant take It anymore 

"stop comparing me to him! I'm not him and I never will be. Just because he is at university that doesn't mean I have to go, I don't want to go and I don't want to be like him mum. So stop treating me like this, what kind of a parent does that! " I shout

she looks at me shocked and angry

"get to your room now! how dare you talk to me like that I am your mother " she shouts

I run up to my room. I sit on my bed and start crying.

I love my mum but when she compares me to my brother and wants me to be exactly like him it hurts. why cant she let me be my own person ?

I went straight to sleep, I didn't feel like doing Tia's homework although I knew I was going to regret it tomorrow. Who knows what her and the other will do tomorrow.
