Riley

"Hey sweetie" Dad said kissing my cheek as I came into the kitchen after school
"Hey!" I smiled
"Where is mum?" I asked
"She's visiting Em" He said making me nod 
"How was school" He asked and I shrugged
"Same old same old, Mr Johnson gave us our next English project and let's just say it's ruffling up some feathers" I said making him chuckle

"What happened to those letters you have to write?" He asked closing his book
"That's the thing, the second part of the project is we've had them swapped with Manor high, so now I have 5 letters to read through" I said making him smile
"Sounds like a good project if you ask me, I would have loved that" He said making me chuckle
"Yeah, I like it, like it'll be nice to see the other side but other people aren't so keen" I said making him roll his eyes
"That's because some people are stuck in their parents ways" He laughed making me chuckle

The thing with my parents is, they are romance of the fued. Mum was on the opposite side to Dad yet they still managed to find each other and managed to find each other and conquer all the obstacles thrown against them 
It's one of the many reason my standards are so high when it comes to guys 

As I headed upstairs, I couldn't help but think about the letters. 
We were given 5 topics to write about. I loved each and everyone one of them and honestly, I can't wait to see what someone elses views on it was 

We had
Introducing Me
Someone Important To Me

A Hidden Talent/Secret
How I View Myself
Plans For The Future 

I guess, there is no better time then the present to Introduce myself to James
As I laid on my bed, I took the file out of my bag opening the first letter that was labelled 1 
James' handwriting was very unique, I won't lie.. I had to read it a few times to understand some of the words but we got there in the end 

'To who ever this ends up with.

It feels strange introducing myself to a stranger, like I don't even know who you are while I write this. I don't know what I can or can't say but here we are
If I overstep any boundaries or my humor gets annoying or dark. My apologies 

So yeah, I'm James. Not much too it, I go to Manor high
I don't really know what you want to know, my favourite colour is Green, actually no blue? Oh fuck knows 
My lucky number would have to be 0 - because I mean, you can't be disappointed further if you're already at rock bottom? Am I right? Or am I right?
Everyone says my catchphrase is don't even worry about it - so there is that too I guess 

I would like to assume I have a good social life, I mean I've I'm not with my family, I'm with the gang which consists of Eldon, West, Michelle and Thalia. 
We go way back, I don't think I could get rid of them even if I tried, we are our own little family

But throwing it back to family, I have my parents, Deborah and Paul and my little sister Piper. Piper and I may have our bitter arguments but when it comes down to it. She'll always be my little sister 

I'd like to think I'm a straight forward guy, I'm not a bad person. Or I'd like to think I'm not. I've had my moments, like you know when you do something and realise straight after that you shouldn't have?
Yeah I've had plenty of them but that's life I guess 

Anyway, that is me! To a T as my mum would say
Until next time 

James!'

I mean that was an interesting read, I don't think I've ever laughed and also said Aww that fast. I would assume he is a good guy too from what he has said and all
But I guess time will tell 

One letter down - Four more to go
