The Sane Abandoned Me

We all walked arm in arm to the bus stop near our school, ready to go into town. My smile was growing wider by the second.

"Why so happy?" Serena asked.

"Well.." I began and the rest of the girls giggled.

"What is it?!" Serena demanded. "What do you all know that I don't?!"

"Daisy invited Ryan to come shopping with us." Anna burst out, fed up with us teasing her twin.

"You did what!" Serena exclaimed breaking her arm away from mine and crouching into a tight ball. I looked at the other girls a little worriedly I didn't expect her to be this upset. I mean I thought she'd appreciate it.

We all walked towards her, me in the front. "Serena?" I asked bending down beside her cautiously. The others followed suit. "I'm sorry Serena I thought.." But I couldn't finish my sentence as all the oxygen was knocked out of me by Serena bringing me into a big bear hug on the floor. The other girls smiled and joined in. We all began messing around on the floor pulling at each other.

"You're pulling my bra!" Hattie yelled laughing in pain. Just as someone did a small cough beside us. All of our heads snapped up sharply and all our gazes were met by that of a concerned looking Ryan. What had he just signed up to?

"Where to next?" Holly asked happily swinging her bag containing her new trainers.

"There!" Marilyn squealed letting go of my hand as she ran into our local music shop excitedly. I ran after her. After all it is our favourite shop. Me and her went straight to the merch section.

************

Me and John waited for Marilyn to re-appear from the changing room.

"So." John said smugly.

"What?" I asked arching my eyebrow.

"You and Mr Way."

"What about us?"

"Are you like an item?" She asked.

"No!" I insisted. "We are just friends."

"Sure, you and 'Gee-bear' are just friends." She said mockingly.

"Ummm." I exclaimed bringing up my hand in defence. "And what about this Frank guy?"

"What about him there's nothing about him." John said dismissively. I noticed that she kept looking around the shop. I looked around as well and noticed a short black haired boy. John looked at him and her cheeks tinted red.

"Is that Frank?!" I asked. But John stayed silent watching him intently. Suddenly Frank began softly strumming on the guitar he was holding. He continued to play an intricate piece and me and John stood there mesmerized.

"Guys we are leaving!" Marilyn announced bouncing excitedly into us.

"Come on then John." I said tugging her softly.

"Actually I think I'll stay here." John said absentmindedly watching Frank.

Me and Marilyn shared a grin and began leaving the shop. "Is it alright if I come to yours tonight?" Marilyn asked hopefully.

"Of course." I said gazing back at John rushing to speak to Frank.

~Serena's POV~

We were all sat in a booth seat at Costa. I studied Ryan while he blew at his steamy mug slowly. He had the sleeves of his jumper pulled tight around his hands making him look adorable. He noticed me watching him and said. "Hey." softly.

"Hi." I replied smiling into my cup.

"So I heard about your 'competition' for this Gerard guy." He said. I noticed the disappointment in his voice.

I leaned in closer to him so none of the other girls could hear. "To be honest he's not really my type." I whispered.

"Oh." He said.

"And besides." I said looking straight into his vibrant green eyes. "I like someone else."

*************

~Daisy's POV~

"So thats Gerard's house?" Marilyn asked motioning to the building.

"Yep." I said just as Gerard's front door opened, making both me and Marilyn jump. A slightly skinny kid wearing a beanie on top of his jet black hair walked out of it. Mikey, I guessed.

"Hi!" He exclaimed bounding over to us excitedly clutching his skateboard. "You must be Daisy!" He continued.

"Yeah." I replied smiling only slightly remembering what he had said to his Mother when I was round their house.

"Gerard's told me a lot about you." He said smiling goofily. I looked down at my feet embarrassed. "All good things!" He insisted. He placed down his skateboard delicately then looked up at Marilyn taken a-back a bit by her image.

"I'm Marilyn." She said smiling fondly.

"Hey Marilyn and Mikey, our names go well together!"

"They do." Marilyn agreed her cheeks starting to tinge.

"I'm going to quickly go inside to let my Mum know we're home, alright?" I said to the pair.

"Okay." Marilyn said focusing more on Mikey then me.

************

~Mikey's POV~

We both stood on the road awkwardly for a bit when an idea popped into my head.
"Hey Marilyn, would you like to go on my skateboard?"

"Umm." She began shuffling from foot to foot uncertainly her pretty green eyes scared.

"Don't worry, I won't let you fall." I said assuring her.

"Okay then." She agreed.

Slowly I helped her onto my board and put my hands on her waist softly. I began pushing her along and she was actually doing well until I whispered into her ear. "You're flying Rose." She began hysterically laughing moving from side to side she was also snorting adorably which made me snort also. Abruptly she fell off the board onto me as we were both crying with laughter. Her head was on my chest and we both lay there tears falling steadily down our cheeks.
