Maddison Pov

age: 14

It is not creepy like I know that, ok it is a little creepy I'm watching Tristan from a tree. If he asks why I was in a tree I would just say I needed to get away from Kye and Cameron ya great plan. He walked off with his soccer team practice was over.

I felt my new phone dad had gotten me to vibrate and I pulled it out carefully to not fall out of the tree. I turned it on and immediately Tristan's name popped up.

Tristan: Hey, you free?

My heart pounded in my chest, yes I'm free I was just busy stalking my crush who happens to be you. Give it a minute before I respond so he doesn't just think I was waiting by my phone.

Me: Yup I'm free what up?

what up seriously who says what up, my phone vibrated again and I quickly checked it.

Tristan: want to meet me at

yes, of course, I would meet you anywhere

Me: Sure see you in 5

I waited until I couldn't see him then I climbed down from the tree and ran down the block till I got in front of the new hangout/cafe Impresso Espresso. I flattened down my hair that I had brushed out into double dutch fish braids. I took a deep breath making sure I didn't look like I just jumped down from a tree. I casually opened the door and walked in, instantly seeing Tristan. He was sitting on a sofa next to the window on his phone. I walked up to him and sat next to him giving us a little bit of distance to calm my nerves.

" Hey," He said " I ordered for you, hope you don't mind"

Just then his name floated through the air and he got up to go retrieve our drinks. He sat back down setting two things in front of me, I looked down at the cup of strawberry blueberry lemonade my favourite and a brownie still warm. He set down a cup in front of himself and a slice of apple crisp pie, his favourite. I'd haven't had it in over 4 years, he looked up at me.

" did you want a bite?" he asked I didn't even respond when he already had a forkful and was bringing it close to my mouth. I didn't know what to do so I just opened my mouth and he fed me apple crisp when that thought came to my mind I blushed and looked away from him. "it's good isn't it?"

I nodded sneaking a glance back at him, he was drinking his drink. I remembered mine and quickly grabbed it to hide my blushing embarrassment. He smirked at me, taking a bite of his apple crisp and leaning back into the seat.

" How was soccer?" I asked and he shrugged

" eh the same actually I kicked the ball at bailey's face and she caught it and said she would get me back she is so funny," He said

I clenched my teeth and squeezed my cup with my left hand,

" you ok?....oh Mads" He said as my drink spilled over my lap. I set the drink on the coffee table and he quickly handed me a couple of napkins. I quickly tried to wipe off my lap embarrassed. "Hey, Mads you ok?"

" Yeah I'm fine" I muttered there I go being jealous stupid Maddison. His phone beeped " who's that Bailey?"

"Maddison," He said causing me to look up he said my full name " tell me what's wrong"

" nothing I told you" I muttered taking a bite of my brownie then another till it was gone.

" Look at me then if nothings wrong," He said before sighing " it's just my dad asking how soccer went"

" oh," I whispered before quickly getting up and speed walking out of the coffee house.

" Maddison" He called out but I had started into a full sprint.

After I got home I took a quick shower mentally cursing myself, I'm at mums this week. I put my hair up in a messy bun albeit a bad messy bun and I put on my PJs and crawled onto my bed to watch shows on my laptop ignoring my phone going off. Mum said she was working late and Cameron was in his room, Kye was at a friend's like almost every day.

2 hours later something hit my window causing me to look out the window Tristan was standing on our front lawn waving at me. I panicked and quickly threw on a sweater over my PJs. I opened the door downstairs and Tristan walked over to me.

I just stood there avoiding his eye as he crossed his arms, I muttered a hey.

" no don't hey me what was that, and then you just left and avoided my texts" He whisper yelled

" sorry" I muttered, tears starting to fall from my eyes I never let people see me cry so I turned back towards my door.

He grabbed my arm turning me around and whipped the tears from my eyes "do you want to tell me what's going on?" he asked I shook my head "come on I know something is going on with you I always notice those things about you so why don't you try"

"I......I think I" I looked down towards my feet, "I think I like you....like like you"

He didn't say anything causing me to look up at his face slowly, he was smirking. " finally, I've known for a while"

"you...what" I gasped and he smiled grabbing my hand and planting a small kiss on the back of my palm.

"I like like you too," He said hugging me " oh and you can keep my sweater" he waved to me walking down the yard before crossing the street. Oh, shoot this is his sweater.
