Jason's POV

"Jason!" my mum calls.

"What? I'm busy." I yell back laying on my bed.

"You have a handwritten letter. And you don't look that busy." She says walking into my room and throwing a letter at me. She walks out shaking her head.

'A letter? For me?'

I pick it up and open it. My eyes scan the letter.

"Uh? This is weird. What am I meant to do with this, anyway?" I say rereading it.

'Ra Ra? Like a lion?..... Charlie maybe? She did say she had a weird dream. Well if so then that means she was dreaming about me.' I think going from confused to smirking.

'Charlie has feelings for me? Wow! Well, now what? Do I write back?' I sit up and walk to my computer.

'What if it isn't even Charlie? It would have to be her. I want it to be her. Wait, what am I thinking? She's just a dumb girl.' I sighed leaning back in my computer chair.

'OK, what if I write back, making her think I'm interested but it's actually so I could mess with her? I could say I want to help her understand her feelings, ask to meet up and then not go. Or, I could prank her, yeah that sounds good.' I think opening up a Word document.

_________________________________________

Dear Ra Ra,

I got your letter in the mail. And I see you got the courage to send it to me. At least I hope it was you that sent me this letter. It's very brave of you, my little lion.

If you would like, I'd be very happy to help you through your feelings. We could meet up and talk about them. I'm sure you'd like that.

I knew you've had feelings for me for a while now, I mean who wouldn't, I'm gorgeous and you're not too bad looking either, so I'll consider your feelings for me.

Meet me at the playground by the beach on Wednesday after school. We can spend some time alone.

Till then my little lion.

Sincerely Leo.

"There, perfect, now to start planning what I'm gonna do to her." I say spinning around in my chair.

"What was that Jase?" My mum says poking her head in the door.

"Uh, um, just planning a prank? On a friend, a friendly prank!" I say trying to make it sound better than it actually might be.

"Oh Jason, I wish you would stop with the pranks!" She says walking away to continue what she was doing.

I turn back around and print off the letter. I fold it up and place it in an unmarked envelope. I put it in my bag and get to work on my prank.

On Monday morning I sit behind Charlie in class. I start fidgeting with a pencil, it flies out of my hand and it hits her in the head.

"Hey watch it!" She says turning around.

"Mr Block, please be mindful of others." the teacher says as Charlie turns back around.

"Sorry, sir, it slipped." I say standing to pick my pencil up.

I kneel down to pick it up and placed the letter in Charlie's bag. I sit back down and zone out for the rest of the class thinking about my prank.

Charlie's POV

"Ok, so I'll bring to DVDs on Saturday." I say sitting down at the table.

I place my bag on the table to get my lunch out.

"Hey Charlie, what's this, hanging out of ya bag?" Maddie asks.

"Huh? I don't know." I say picking it up and opening it.

I read the first line 'Dear Ra Ra' I panic and stuff it in my bag. My face turned bright red.

"Heh, heh, um it's nothing. Just an embarrassing note from my mum saying she loves me. I'll read it later!" I say trying to be nonchalant.

"Ooh, let us read. It'll be fun to tease you about it!" Taylor says.

My eyes meet with Jason's, who is standing across the yard behind Taylor
smirking, I blush harder. Jess follows my eyes and makes an acknowledging noise.

"Guys leave her alone, she doesn't have to share it with us. Plus her mum wrote it for her, not us." Jess says. "So you sent him the letter. And he responded?" she whispers in my ear.

I nod slightly and change the subject. "So, uh. What movies do you want? Because I think we should watch pride and prejudice." Everyone groans apart from Taylor who is happy.

°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•

I sit on my bed debating whether or not to read the letter.

I sigh picking it up, slowly opening it, reading each line scared of what the next might say.

'My little lion' I blush.

I continue reading.

'I knew you've had feelings for me for a while now, I mean who wouldn't?' I laugh. "That egotistical idiot." I say to myself.

'Meet me ----------- Wednesday.' "Definitely a trap!"

'Sincerely Leo.' "Really, you couldn't think of a good pen name? I guess I didn't have a better one."

I get up and fold the letter placing it in my desk drawer. I mark it down in my schedule as a 'possible trap or prank'. And then I go and work on my homework.

°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•○•°•

"Come on Charlie, we're gonna go to the shops." Brooke says.

"Ah, sorry guys. I've gotta do something. But maybe I'll catch up with you after. I'll text ya." I say waving as I ride away from the school.

I ride down the street thinking about what is about to happen. 'I could open up about my feelings for Jason, and something might happen between us or this could be a set-up for a prank. Yeah, probably that one.' I think.

I finally get to the beach. I hop off my bike and walk it to a tree near the playground. I hide behind the tree looking for Jason. I see him hold up his phone and shoo Declan and Simon away. 'Yep, definitely a prank is about to happen.'

I walk to the bike rack and lock up my bike. I take a deep breath and start walking to the playground.

Jason's POV

"Alright, when I text you, you guys run up and squirt her with the slime screaming." I say holding up my phone. "Now leave, she's gonna be here any second!" I say shooing them away.

I sit and wait on a swing facing the water, lightly swinging.

"H-hey, Jason." I hear from behind me.

"Oh, hey Charlie. I see you got my note." I say smirking at her as she sits on the swing next to me.

"Um, how did you know I was the one who sent you the letter?" She asks looking down at the floor.

"Well, no one writes as strangely as you and I did overhear you talking about a dream, plus who else would go by Ra Ra, like a lion?" I say. "So do your dorky friends know about your feelings for me?"

"Possible feelings and no, just Jess. She's the one who told me to write to you. But she doesn't know I'm here, none of them do." She says looking up at me, I smile at her.

"Oh? But why write to me, if you're not even sure you like me?" I ask tilting my head in confusion.

"Writing is meant to help figure stuff out. But it hasn't helped much. I'm still just as confused as ever." She leans back looking at the sky.

"Why did you want to meet? I mean you could have ignored the note or even make fun of me in front of the whole school. But yet you sent me a private letter to meet all alone. Is it blackmail? Or do you actually want to help?" She rambles out turning to look at me in the eyes.

My breath catches. 'Because I have feelings for you. No! Ugh, I can't prank her when she's this vulnerable.' "Uh, um well. Honestly, I was gonna prank you but couldn't think of anything. If you want I could help you figure things out, just so you're certain. Because then I could tease you about it." I go from nervous to joking.

"Gee, thanks. But what about your minions, are they waiting around the corner?"

"Nope, and to prove it, we could, um, go somewhere more private, anywhere you want. To prove we're alone to talk." I say standing up with my hand out.

She looks at my hand and then up at me. She sighs and takes my hand standing up. She walks me across the road to an old thick tree and starts to climb it.

"Come on, no one will find us up here!" She says. She scoots across as I climb up.

"Wow, you knew just the spot, huh?" I say sitting against the trunk of the tree facing her.

"Yeah, I guess. Anyway, um." She looks nervous.

"You want to figure out If you like me, right?" I ask, and she nods. "Ok, well, then kiss me!" She gasps and almost falls out of the tree. I catch her wrist and laugh.

"I, uh, n-no, what?" She stutters, her face bright red pulling her wrist from my grasp.

"I was joking, but I mean if it would help." She smacks me. "Ok, ok, so what do you suggest?"

"I don't know. Why would you help me? You didn't answer before." She looks down at her dangling legs.

"Because I want to. I have my reasons. Here, come closer." I say grabbing her wrist again. She wiggles towards me slightly.

"Even closer!" Again she moves. I intertwine my fingers with hers. I lift her head with my other hand and look into her eyes.

"Ja-Jason. What are you doing?" She blushes harder.

"Here, turn around and lay against me." I whisper unintentionally, still staring into her eyes.

"Uh, oh ok!" She says as if in a trance. She carefully turns around and lies on my chest.

I wrap my arms around her to make sure she doesn't fall. She shifts and relaxes into my arms. We lay there in silence, I close my eyes just listening to the world past this tree.

*buzz*

"Hmm?" Charlie questions from my arms. I groan and pick up my phone. I hold it above her head and read the text.

Simon: Hey did she show up?

I text back.

Jason: no, don't worry about it. You and Declan do whatever you want I'm just gonna do something else.

I shove my phone back in my pocket.

"It was nothing!" I say wrapping my arms around her once more. She lays her head on my chest as I close my eyes again.

We lay like this for who knows how long. 'This is nice!' I think smiling.

"Hey, Jase? Um, were you actually joking about me kissing you earlier?" She asks in a quiet voice.

"Oh, why? Did you actually want to?" I smirk.

"That didn't answer the question." She says turning around.

"Uh, well, ah-maybe?" I say with a light blush on my cheeks.

"You literally called off a prank on me. I know that's what the text was about. They were waiting for your word. I'm guessing you told them to forget about it. You could have told them where we are but no. You actually want to be here, with me. So, were you joking about me kissing you?" She says slowly getting closer.

"I, um, no. It wasn't a joke." I say get quieter near the end, blushing more.

She takes a deep breath. "Good!" She whispers, leaning forward slowly closing the gap before suddenly our lips meet creating a nice warm sensation.

We softly kiss till she pulls away, I quickly lean forward out of instinct and peck her lips. We look at each other blushing.

She clears her throat moving backwards and looks away. "So..." She says.

"So... " I respond and grab her waist pulling her close. "You think your feelings are real?" I joke.

She laughs. "Yeah." She smiles and lays her head on my shoulder.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Ah, omg that was so cute. How did I manage 2000 words? I didn't even have any outline of where I wanted this to go (apart from them being together obviously)

It always happens like that. I go 'I want to write' Then I stare at my phone slowly writing, having writer's block when suddenly I've written 1000 or in this case 2000 words.

I feel like I wrapped this up nicely, so no need for a part 3.

Again if you see any mistakes tell me. It's 2 am but I guess I can't use that excuse because I always write this late.

Bye
