Six years ago, aged 16
“There he is!”
My best friend Bianca elbows me in the ribs, quite unnecessarily, alerting
me to his presence at the end of the hallway. Unnecessary because I’m already
acutely aware that he’s there, much like the rest of the students milling about
at 8.30 in the morning, waiting for the bell to signal the start of our day of
collective learning.
“I can see that, B.” I poke her back and ddle with my glasses, pushing them
back up my nose so I can get a better look at the view up ahead.
It’s Matthew Barkly, a senior at our high school and objectively the hottest
guy who goes here. In fact, he’s probably the hottest guy to go to any high
school, ever. He’s currently walking down the long corridor surrounded by a
gaggle of admirers and people he calls friends, and it’s like he’s the star of a 90s
rom-com (I’ve watched enough of them to be an authority on the matter).
Tall, at least a head taller than most boys his age, he’s got dark features that
make him look like Liam Hemsworth, but with a perma-tan. His olive skin
hasn’t ever seen a pimple and his body belongs to someone much older, all
broad shoulders and dened muscles. It’s the end of winter, with temperatures
well below chilly outside, and yet he’s wearing shorts and a lightweight
sweatshirt. His usual uniform. He has the aura of someone who is above
everyone else; someone marked for greatness.
“Doesn’t he feel the cold?” I grumble, pulling at the sleeves of my baby blue
knit sweater, trying to get warmer. As per usual, I’m freezing.
“Maybe his legs are so far away from his brain, he can’t feel that they’re
cold?” Bianca ponders, pulling a reluctant laugh from me.
It’s true, at well over six feet, Matthew towers over his schoolmates, his
long legs making him the star of the school soccer team. The rest of him
makes him the star of everything else. Including most female (and some male)
student fantasies.
“He’s coming towards us,” she whispers, her tone reverent. It’s not like
being near Matthew is new to us—we’ve been sharing the same learning
space for the past three years—it’s just that the seniors, especially the popular
ones, tend to keep to their side of the campus and thus a close-up encounter of
this kind is rare.
“Do I look alright?”
I give her a long once over, knowing before I even glimpse at her that she
will look more than alright. Like Matthew, she’s one of those lucky teenagers
who never goes through an awkward phase. She went from pre-teen pretty to
gorgeous overnight. Me, on the other hand…well, let’s just say my body hasn’t
got the “time to grow some womanly curves” memo yet.
“You look great.” And she does. Today she’s paired a tight-tting softlooking grey sweater with tight black jeans, tucked into black healed booties. I
don’t know how she walks around in those things all day; my feet would ache
and have blisters within the rst hour.
