much love!!



--- If You Relax, Something Might Last---

I knew who he was and all...
It wasnt like i was a total snob and only spoke to the hot guys.. even if it came across like that a little.
And it wasnt even that he was a nerd and i was the cool girl.. there were just lots of groups in our year and we never really had much to do with each other.
Until our last year of school.


"LLIIILLLLYYYYYYY" mum shouted down my hall. i love that woman. but boy does she have the voice of a fog horn. i knew what that shout meant.
Get in the shower, straighten out bed hair, decide what to wear, have breakie and drive to school in my super cute new car. well.. in my brothers super cute new car. with him driving.. but it sounds cool!

Sometimes i wish i never started straightening my hair. that way i could leave it to go curly. its naturally curly. big salt water curls. and to be honest.. between you and me. i actually really like it.
but i cant now.. people expect waaay to much of me. well atleast thats what i thought.

I arrived at school to greet my group. there are five of us. 3 are awful behind your back but angels to your face and the other is my best friend. Im unsure of what id do without Alex. She keeps me grounded and i keep her... out of trouble most of the time. She always goes for the bad guy you know what i mean. Shes the only one who knows what i complete dork i am... she knows how shocking i look when i get out of bed.. and she knows how curly my hair really is.

"Yeah Lilly Anderson!!" my friends called out. i giggled and rushed over to them.

"haha hey guyssss.. missed you over the break!" we did the hug and cheek kiss thing. i hate the cheek kiss thing! i feel so pathetic.

i pulled at Alex's shirt. "cute top.. ummm locker time?" we were half way up the stairs before she had a choice.

"Lilly whats wrong with you you seem.. so eager to get to class" she was confused but smiling.

"no just eager to get away from those girls.. why are they so d**n fake!" pathetic. i say this while wearing clothes that dont really suit me and have about an inch of bronzer on.

I pulled stuff out of my locker and we made small talk about our break.. even though we spent every second day together. We like to pretend that we went away on some exotic holiday.. when really we spent it lying around each others pool reading magazines and singing waay to loud with our ipods.
Who ever said life sucked in the slow lane was totally wrong.

Then he walked past.
i never remembered him that tall.. or his hair that floppy. or his eyes that blue. Its like in those movies... where the heart throb walks past and he goes in slow motion. He carried a guitar case and a fairly shy look on his face. He looked like a nice guy.
I couldnt let people see me looking at him.. when he looked up and turned to Alex and laughed a little. d**n.

"What i didnt say anything... is there something on my face. aarggghhh lilly get it off!!!!" Alex freaked out and i really did start laughing.

"Dude you are such an idiot... sorry no i just.. remembered something funny thats all" i really was just covering up on my checking out Teddy.

Oh yeh.. thats right. i didnt tell you. his name is teddy

---If You Relax, Something Might Last---



So we went and got our new timetables and such. Im taking extension english, math, art, biology and music. Between you and me i love to sing and play piano. but im super super shy. im like the worst case of heat rash you've ever seen.. so shameful.
Monday period two... music.

I walked to my class saying quick 'hi's' to friends as i went past on my way to music. Id never really spent much time in the music rooms... they had a soul. There were guitars all on stands around the rooms, keyboards on the tables, a drum kit and heaps of other instruments and amps and microphones set up around it. In the far corner was a beautiful baby grand piano. It was black and had a red cover over the top. It was stunning.

So who should be in my class.. you guessed it. Pretty eyes himself. How stupid of me.. of cause he takes music he plays guitar.. duh.

I put my bag and folder down and started talking to Mark. He's part of the 'it' boys group in my year. total drop kick but still quite nice. and has super straight teeth.. the joys of braces i suppose.

"Hey Luc, how was your break" he put an arm around me.. *shudder* i almost forgot how sleazy he was.

"hey markie! yeah my break was great thanx.. didnt get up to much." i smiled and made small talk.
"i didnt know you did music.. what do you play?" anything to make his arm come off around my shoulder.

"oh i sing.. yeh. you know i didnt know i could but i heard some killer Justin Timberlake and i thought.. yep thats me" he was totally convinced he rocked. Good luck to him hehe.


"Come on guys.. sit down and we'll get started" the teacher called us over. Mr Newton. great guy.. i didnt know him all that well cause i hadnt done music as a class before.. but he's heard me playing around in the practice rooms once and said i had a great talent.

I sat down next to some of the girls in my year and said hi to all of them.

"Id like to welcome Lucy to our class, she hasnt done music before but id hope that you'll all make her feel welcome" Newton announced to the class and some loser up the front wistled.

Teddy turned around from the front to look at me, smiled and mouthed 'hi'. Faar out that smile was stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

A pretty girl walked in late, she had beautiful curly red hair, freckles and green eyes. Small frame and was wearing skinny jeans and a cute tee saying 'Sergent Peppers lonely hearts club band' i smiled at her as she walked in.. id never seen her before.

She looked lovely. She walked straight past me and sat next to teddy giving him a hug as she sat down. GRRR

"Im so sorry i totally forgot! This is Kira, Shes new here and she's joined us on a music scholarship. Besides her boyfriend teddy she doesnt know anyone.. so girls come say hi when we have our next prac session." Mr Newton nodded at me knowing that i normally make the new people feel welcome.

No one said i liked Ted. Infact.. id never really spoken to him that much. and i was already seeing someone. Matt was adorable. We'd been going out for about 4 months now. and he was my prince charming.

So if matt was standing at the door waiting for me after music and carried my folder while i sorted out my stuff.... why didnt i listen to a word of what the teacher said and counted the amount of times he put his arm over Kira.

It was the first 3 hours of school and i was already cunfused. this is going to be a great year guys.

Hi Emma! Welcome to the boards. I'm one of the moderators here and love reading new fan fics. Your fan fic is pretty good, I must say. I cannot wait to read more!

[aussiegirl]

--- If you relax, something might last---

So during english this arfternoon i decided that im completely in love with Matty. But im going to be teddys friend. Im going to prove to myself that i can e good friends with a guy without liking him. Ive never done it.. i mean i have guy friends.... but ive never been well. close to a guy and been his friend.
well... denial is the key at this stage i suppose.


Mr Geiger, be prepared to be my friend! It all starts tomorrow in english.

Matty drove me home, my brother had to go somewhere... who knows where that somewhere is. probly out and about with his lovely girlfriend Emily. shes a gem.

we talking in the car for ages outside my house. I missed our talks. he went away for the summer so we had alot to catch up on.

"Lui i missed you so much. I dont think you know how much i missed you" hes too cute sometimes. he said this while lacing his hand in mine.

I leaned across from the passenger seat and kissed his cheek. But what was sad was that... i didnt really miss him all that much. i didnt think about him that much. i enjoyed the freedom.

"me too matt... mee too. But i should really go in ive got heaps of work to do. extension english is a real pain. I'll see you tomorrow."i kissed his lips quickly and grabbed my folder and ran inside.

I did all my work really quickly and sat there for a while in my room bored. I wrote a list of things i wanted to do this year.. the list went like this:

* Learn the guitar
*sing and play infront of an audience
* wear my hair curly
* find my own 'special spot'
* change my style
* eat more veggies
* watch all seasons of 'the oc' over 2 days
* get a fun hair cut
*read more books
* spend more time with ginger


Ginger is my dog. shes beautiful. i thought i might aswell start with the last point and take Gins for a walk.
"GINGAAAAAAAAAA" i screamed from my room and giggled at how stupid that would have sounded if someone else was home. mumma and dad dont get home till late on mondays. and james [the brother] was out with Em.

Ginger came skipping in. we were in love... it was obvious. I smiled down at here. and squished her face between my two hands gently.
"walkies?? Ginger walkies?" i jumped off my bed and ran to the front door with the lead. She bounded over to me and barked a little. I put the collar on her changed into some denim shorts and a cardi and thongs [aka flip flops] and left a note saying:

Lu and Ginger go Walkies

We walked a fair way, i enjoyed the fresh air and Ginger enjoyed the freedom. If ginger was a person she'd be veeery good looking. she had a way about her.. i loved it.

We walked down a few streets i didnt go down often. I bent down and let ginger off the leash to let her have a fun. She started barking and running. I laughed at her and started singing to myself. I looked up and she was gone. oooooh crap.

I walked a little faster. "Gingerrrrrrrrrr"where the flip had she gotten to.

No way. Its like this dog could read my thoughts. I look down the street to find her licking the face of a boy. a boy with a dark mop of hair, olive skin, wearing black chuck taylors and a red tee.

"Is she yours? shes beautiful" he spoke.

you've got to be joking me.

Denial really is the key.
