I was walking down the corridor towards my cooking class, it was my first attempt so I decided to go with something easy. I could see people giving me odd looks, this was usual. I was least popular, compared to Freddie, he was the most popular in the school. Anyway, he had never looked at me differently, he smiled at me. When Brian or Roger, Freddie's friends, walked last they would say hi.

As I reached my class I started to prepare my ingredients. I chopped the cheese and got out two slices of bread. When the class began I put the read in the toaster for a bit. I noticed a boy near me do the same thing. Both of our pieces of bread popped up at the same time. I then layered cheese on the toast and put it under the grill.

The boy looked at me, blushed furiously, and stared at his cheese on toast, which was ready. Mine was too. I got it out of the oven and watched as the boy caught his finger on the tray. He yelped in pain.

"Here, let me help" I said rushing over.

I put a plaster on his finger and smiled at him. He smiled back.

"hello, I'm John, john deacon."

"Jennifer McQueen, nice to meet you"

After class we walked outside and sat talking under a willow tree. John told me about how he played the bass, and wished to be part of a band someday.

I told him how I played the trumpet, but wished to be an archaeologist. As I said that a small spider ran across my hand and I screeched. I leapt into the air and into John's arms.

"Woah! Steady on!" He said, laughing.

I laughed too "sorry, I just don't like spiders"

"well, your lucky I'm not a spider then" he whispered.

John leaned in and closed his eyes. I obliged and met his lips. The kiss was very soft and gentle. After a few seconds John broke away.

"I don't suppose you want to go to prom with me?" He asked.

"of course!" I replied.

i gave him a peck on the cheek and left, skipping to my next class, leaving John, grinning like a maniac, under the tree.
