Paul's pov: 
                          
I was on my way to the park. I walked past the park on my way to school. I always wanted to go there but the time hasn't been there. I was really nerves and exited at the same time. What's the worst thing that could happen i thought? If it got awkward? Or if I got him mad and he would beat me. After I thought that I got really nerves. What if he only wants to meet me so he can beat me? What if Stu and Pete were there. What if it was a prank? 
                          
Without noticing it I stood at the gate to the park. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked around. The was a bench, someone was sitting on it. Was it John? I walked closer to the bench. It was John. I hesitated for a moment. Were it a prank? I started to walk over to the bench when I John looked at me. I froze, he then waved at me. I waved back and walked over to him. 
                          
"hey" John said. 
                          
"hi"
                          
"sit down" he offered. 
                          
I sat down besides him on the bench but not to close or relaxed. If John would beat me, I wanted to get away quickly. 
                          
"w-why did you want to meet me?" I asked. 
                          
"to talk to you"
                          
"why do you want to talk to me?" 
                          
"because I think it's impotent to talk to a person who's been staring at me in two weeks." 
                          
"I'm not staring at you you're staring at me" I insisted. 
                          
"okay, okay as you want it princess" he mocked. 
                          
"please don't call me princess" 
                          
"As you wish princess" 
                          
I rolled my eyes and looked around the park. This was very weird. I sat on a bench besides a student two years older than me at 9 am. 
                          
"so, you're hanging out with that George guy" John said. 
                          
"yeah"
                          
 "isn't he a bit weird?" 
                          
"no, he's not!" 
                          
"okay easy on princess" 
                          
There was quiet for a moment till I spoke "so, you're hanging out with those Stu and Pete guys aren't they a but weird" I said mockingly 
                          
"they are and I really hate them" he said ice cold back. 
                          
I looked at him shocked "d-do you mean that?" 
                          
"yeah I really don't like them" 
                          
"so, they aren't hidden somewhere in the park to jump out at me and beat me?" I asked. 
                          
He looked puzzled at me "where you are getting that from?" he asked 
                          
"you, one of the most feared students on the school, ask me to come to the park at 9 am. That just sounds a bit suspicious." 
                          
"yeah you're right and wow am I really one of the most feared students on the school? I'm fluttered and don't worry Stu and Pete aren't here" he assured. 
                          
For some reason I trusted him, and my body immediately started to relax. 
                          
"so... tell me something about yourself" John said. 
                          
"well... I moved to the city about 3 weeks ago."
                          
"why did you move?" he asked. 
                          
I suddenly went very sad. Since we moved, I tried not to think about her. Should I tell him about it? What could happen? 
                          
"because..." i hesitated 
                          
He looked curious at me "because?" 
                          
"because my mother died in the old house" I said looking away from him. 
                          
"owhh Paul I'm... I'm really sorry about that" he said with sympathy in his voice. 
                          
I looked him in the eyes and said "don't. I know nobody can do anything about it, I just have to live with it" 
                          
He looked at me for a while and I looked back. It was like the time stood still. We moved closer to each other. There were a lot of tension between us, maybe too much. I considered moving away but I couldn't. suddenly we heard a loud noise. It sounded like someone tumbled over a dustbin. We snapped directly out of the trance and John looked in the direction the sound came from. 
                          
"shit it's Stu and Pete!" whisper yelled. 
                          
John quickly grabbed my arm and dragged me down from the bench. I looked Puzzled on him. 
                          
"if they see me, they are going to think I lied to them" 
                          
I looked even more puzzled at him now. He could se that and said "I'll tell you later" 
                          
We both hided underneath the bench so they couldn't see us. 
                          
"I'm so pissed right now" Pete said. 
                          
"hurry up we're getting late!" Stu yelled. 
                          
After a minute or two John sat up and looked down at the street. 
                          
"All clear" John said. 
                          
He reached his hand out to help me. I took it and got up as well. We both sat down at the bench again and after a minute's time I asked, "what about you?" 
                          
"what about me?" 
                          
"tell me something about yourself" 
                          
"ow well I live with my ant Mimi and I've been living with her since I was 6" 
                          
"what about your mother?" 
                          
"well it's complicated"
                          
I could feel he didn't want to talk about it, so I stopped asking. There were quiet for some time till I asked what's the clock?" 
                          
"about 11 why?" 
                          
"nothing" 
                          
We talked for another hour before I said, "it's getting late aren't it?" John looked at his clock and said "I guess so" 
                          
We stood up and looked into each other's eyes. I smiled and he smiled back. 
                          
"I think we should meet again" John said. 
                          
"me too I just don't want George to know about it he really doesn't like you"
                          
"yeah I think it'll be best if we keep this friendship a sacred."
                          
"I agree, Well then it's goodbye" I said and turned around. 
                          
"wait! One last thing" 
                          
I turned around to face him. 
                          
"can you do me a favour and not tell anybody about this?" John asked. 
                          
"only if you promise you won't tell anybody about this" 
                          
"okay deal, then goodbye again" 
                          
"goodbye" 
                          
I then turned around again and started to walk home. 
                          
John's pov: 
                          
I was walking home from the park. I couldn't believe I just talked to Paul for 3 hours! Why were I so exited about that? He was just some guy. No, he wasn't he was Paul. That really sounded queer. It was not like I liked him he was just special. 
                          
When I came home, I sneaked up the stairs and into my room. I took my pyjamas on and sat on my chair right Infront of my window. This was surly a beautiful night.
