There was a loud, dull buzz echoing across Alice’s room thatcame from her bedside table. Rolling across her double bed, she quickly snatchup her phone and lit up the display screen. It was from him. There was a newtext alert from James and there was a dopy smile plastered on Alice’s face.Keying in her password, Ally quickly opened the message to see what the Potterboy wanted.
“Hey, you free to meetlater? x”
Her smile grew even more. He had signed it was a kiss.
“Hey you! Um, yeah don’tsee why not. Do you have anything in mind of what to do? x”
Opening up her Twitter app, Ally did her best to keepherself from giggling and squealing over the boy she had been secretly crushingon for months. You were not meant to fall for yours friends.
“Could come over hereand watch a film? Mum and Dad are out and the brats are having sleepovers xx”
They would be alone. Why was James in inviting her over forlate at night? Did he know about her feels? Did he want to use this time toquestion her?
“Yeah! I can do that…want me to bring anything? x”
“No just bringyourself. That’s all we need xx
Ally had not seen James all summer; she had been busyhelping her mother out and he had been busy doing whatever it was James Potterdid. Alice missed him; she missed almost everything about him. Swinging herselfup and off her bed, her phone buzzed again.
“You can stay over ifyou want. Mum won’t mind xx”
Grinning, Alice gathered up her handbag, making sure herpurse and oyster card where in there before quickly packing up an overnightbag. Purposefully, she left out a nightdress in the hopes she could sneak ashirt from James.
“I’ll get the nexttube over. I’ll bring a DVD too xx”
“alright, love. Can’twait to see you xx”
Grinning, Alice grabbed her jacket and dashed from her room.She hurriedly explained herself to her father before slipping out the frontdoor.
