Arctic Monkeys one shots

didn't you know?

2003

finally, summer. i just graduated and it felt amazing, no more high school. no more bullshit. now i could focuss on what i really liked in college next year. and that was art.
me and an old friend from a vacation to america flew over to visit.. high green isnt that interesting but she insisted.

she arrived and unpacked in my room, we wanted to go out tonight.. but first i showed her around the town..

at night we both got dressed in something nicer  and left for the pub, when we got there we sat at a table and ordered a drink, we talked about the vacation and about our lives, she also just graduated. we were both really happy about finally getting out of that hellhole thats called highschool.
there were a lot of my classmates in the pub tonight, wich i thought was nice.
we were close to a guy i'd had a crush on for the longest time.. sure, he wasnt the hottest or the most romantic guy.. he was very shy actually. i loved that about him, i saw one of the more popular girls talking to him.. weird
i tried to listen to the conversation.. she was totally making fun of him, what a bitch

i got up and excuced myself, i walked over to alex and put my arm around him. i gave him a hug and whispered in his ear "just play along"
i kept my arm around him and turned myself to the girl.. she was one of those people to pretend to flirt with guys to make their friends laugh.
"hey.. britteney.. i didnt expect you here"
she gave me a bitchy look "since when are you talking to turner?"  she said in that annoying voice.. it made me wanna punch her in the face.
"oh didnt you know?" i said and turned my face to alex.
"we've been dating for months" he said, i was so glad he took the hint, the outcome wouldve been so much worse if he didnt.
the girl left and i took my hand off him.
"thank you Anne.." he gave me a soft smile, i could tell he was a little off..
"do you wanna catch some air outside?" i asked him.
he just nodded and i walked in front of him to the exit.
when we got outside he spoke up "you know she's gonna tell everyone..."
i looked at him, his face was pointed to the floor.
"i know, but i could tell she was fucking with you.."
he looked up at me "why did you choose this way to help?" he said and smiled at me..
i just had to tell him
"well.. i didnt feel like putting up a fight so i guess this was the most peacefull way of telling her to fuck off.. and i've had a massive crush on you since the beginning of the year"

his eyes widened "youre messing with me Anne" he said
"no im actually not" i said with a chuckle
he didnt say anything to that and just smiled at the ground
"come here" i said and i hugged him. i kissed his cheek.
he was blushing a bit "ill take you out" he said and looked at me, our faces were so close to eachother.
"you better" i said and we both chuckled, i grabbed his hand and we walked back into the pub.
our jaws dropped when we looked at the table i sat at earlier, my friend was making out with matt on the couch.
alex started laughing and so did i.
alex turned to me and it looked like he gained some confidence. he put his hands on my waist and came closer to me.
he suddenly looked way happier, he never smiled much during class.. he was a happy guy i knew that but i never saw him smile like this.

"you alright al?"
he nodded "can i kiss you?"
i didnt answer and just kissed him, by the sound of matt's voice i could tell him and my friend were watching us.
after a while i pulled back and we sat down with matt and lily.
we talked all night and they brought us home, i gave alex my number and so did lily with matt.
we said goodnight and we went to bed.
