�We�ll be back in a few hours!� shouted Emma to her cousin, Sandra, as we
left her house, where we � Lorna, Falon, Hayley, Emma and me, Maz, were staying.
Covent Garden was only a short distance away and it was unusually warm and
sunny, so we had decided to walk. On our way, we passed a shop with a poster of
Elijah Wood in the window which Hayley had pointed out. I turned and started
teasing her by suddenly turning and saying �Elijah!� which made Hayley turn
bright red! Every one laughed at Hayley and they joined in.
We turned left around a corner and walked into 3 boys.
�Sorry!� I said �We should have been watching where we were going!�
�No, it was our faults!� said the smallest boy, whose face was hidden under
a hood on his top.
�Where are you gurlz off to then?� asked the boy who was slightly taller than
the first, also with his face hidden beneath a hood.
�Well, we were off to Covent Garden, where were you guyz off to?� asked
Falon.
�Funnily enough, we were off to the same place!� said the tallest boy, who
also had a hooded top on in an attempt to hide his face for some reason. �Would
you five like to come along with us after we pick something up?�
�Sure, how long are you gunna be?� asked Lorna.
�About ten mins tops!� said the second boy.
�Yeah, after all, we�ve got a few hours!� replied Falon.
�Follow us then!� exclaimed the tallest boy as he started walking across the
street.
�You sure this is a good idea?� whispered Lorna as we followed.
�I think so, after all, that smallest boy reminds me of someone!� I whispered
back.
�What! Who? Does this mean you�ve kinda got a crush on him?� asked Lorna.
�Shh, I don�t want him hearing!� I quickly whispered back.
�I thought your only crush was James from Busted!�
�Lorna just can�t help but try to embarrass me� I thought as Lorna shouted
that. The boy turned and slowed as if he had heard Lorna, which he probably had
done. He waited and began to walk as I neared him, so we were walking next to
each other.
�Could we talk?� he asked.
�Yeah, �bout what?� I blushed slightly.
�I�ll tell you in a minute, when we arrive at the place where the tallest guy
is going to pick something up!� He walked off towards his two friends and Falon
turned to me.
�What did he say?� she asked, anxious to know.
�He wants to talk to me about something.� I replied, staring at him.
�Looks like something is goin on between those two!� joked Emz as she was
listening in.
�Ha, ha, ha! Very funny!� I said (sarcastically), rolling my eyes.
It was less than 5 minutes later when the tallest boy turned and knocked on a
door. A tallish man answered and the boy whispered something in his ear, he
nodded and let the boy into the building.
The smallest boy walked over to me as his other friend started talking to the
others. �Over here!� he whispered as he signalled towards a corner.
I followed, unsure of what was about to happen. We walked around the corner and
he stopped.
�I heard your friend say that your only crush was James Bourne, is it true?�
he asked, facing the other way, with an amount of curiosity in his voice.
�Yeah. I suppose you could s�.. Wait, why are you asking?�
�Well, if you really want to know,� he paused and lowered his hood on his top,
�Here I am!� he turned and I gasped as I saw that it was in fact James himself.
�Bet you weren�t expecting that!� he joked, I shook my head, still gob smacked
at who I had been talking to.
�Are your friends good at keeping secrets?� he asked.
�Well, most of the time,� I answered.
�Do you think that they�ll be able to keep it to themselves the fact about whom
we are?�
�Yeah, otherwise I could probably kill them!� I joked.
�K, I think we should let them know who they�re walking around with!�
whispered James as he pulled his hood once more over his face.
He led me back to where the others were waiting for Charlie and he whispered
something to Matt, Mattie nodded then turned to Falon, before telling her about
who he was. Falon gasped as Mattie turned to the others and told them. Emma had
a look of disbelief on her face which Mattie noticed, so he lowered his hood for
a few seconds before pulling it back over. Emma couldn�t believe it, she�d
doubted someone who had told the truth.
�You have to promise not to tell anyone until we tell you that you can!�
exclaimed Mattie as he looked at everyone in turn, and we all nodded in
agreement, though Falon couldn�t believe that she was talking to Mattie as if
they had been friends, and Lorna was wondering if the other boy was Charlie.
