Christian Mason's Story

Sophia Reese

Sophia sat in her bedroom, It was painted a pale cream color and was covered in posters of bands that Sophia listened to, they were mostly rock and punk bands which her mum didn't approve of, but Sophia didn't care.

She gazed out at the rain. It was a typical Winters morning she thought and looked at her watch, it was 5 PM. Her mum had left her a list of jobs to do around the house but she hadn't even looked at it yet and the thought of school tomorrow made her sick. I should do something to pass the time she thought.

Sophia sat up and looked at the list her mum had left. The first thing on the list was ''Buy Milk'', so she decided to walk to the local shop. She grabbed her iPod and raincoat and walked out the door. Even though the rain wasn't quite as bad as she had anticipated she still put on her coat.

Sophia arrived at the shop, It was small but it stocked most of the essentials. She hoped that she wouldn't run into anyone from school at the shop as she had barely brushed her hair and was wearing tacky clothes. She picked up a carton of milk and began to make her way towards the checkout.

Christian sat on his bed and stared at the wall, completely bored and wondering what Maisie was up to. He was still in his pajamas and had yet to do anything remotely productive that day. He decided he would see what she was up to when he didn't look like something off the streets. While he glanced through his closet, he sighed to himself as he realized that with school starting in a few months he wouldn't be spending nearly as much time with her. Soon enough homework and papers would get in the way of what little time they had and they'd have to cling to the weekends. Maybe that's why he loved Summer so much, Christian realized. Maybe Maisie was what made it his favorite season, and not just the nice weather and prime opportunity for a tan.

The thought of her always made him smile; she was so different than him, but so alike at the same time. He usually could bring out her inner confidence and spirit, and prided himself on this. Maisie and he were closer than he'd ever had in any type of friendship or relationship before, and he found himself cherishing even little moments with her like her tossing pebbles at his window to get his attention. They both kept bowls near their window sill of pebbles; it had been her idea when they'd first became friends, long before this pleasant Summer's morning.

He chuckled to himself and picked out a comfortable, yet stylish outfit as always and just as he was lacing up his shoes, heard the familiar sound of a pebble hitting his bedroom window. He'd closed the curtains earlier this morning to sleep in and totally forgot to re-open them. Christian smiled and headed towards his window, notepad and marker in hand. He waved cheerily at Maisie and waited for her to write first. The sight of her always made his day a millions time better.

Christian smiled to himself as he read her message; they both had cellphones with calling and text but Christian had always preferred this method. It seemed so much more personal and meaningful than a bunch of letters on a screen. He wrote out a clear response and held it up a few moments for her to read it and formulate a response. He saw she was blushing and chuckled to himself; she was so cute he couldn't stand it.

I slept alright :) What do you have in mind?

While she wrote, he saw that she was dressed tastefully in a shirt she'd bought with him a few months back and this made him smile even more; it was almost impossible to be unhappy with her around. He studied her while she waited with his usual warm, inviting smile, trying to think what they would end up doing today.

Christian read her messages and nodded eagerly; he'd been spending far too much inside this Summer and was eager to get out and get some sun and quality time with his best friend. He left his curtains open and checked himself over quickly in the mirror before he made his way downstairs. His mother was still at work, so the house was completely empty. He locked the door behind him when he left and headed for the alleyway between he and Maisie's houses.

He grinned when he saw her humming with her back turned to him and decided it might be fun to give her a little jump. He snuck over to her and grabbed her sides with a laugh, "Hey Maisie!" He greeted after he regained his composure and she turned to face him.

"Well that was the idea." Christian teased, watching her face flush that endearing red once again. He listened to her name of a few options and walked on a moment while he thought of which might appeal more to him. The beach sounded pretty fun, but that would probably call for both of them going back to their houses to change.

"Why don't we see where our feet take us?" Christian suggested cheerily. It was better not to have plans sometimes, anyway, right?
