They asked me, "How did you meet him, Sam?"
I was waiting for Sarah, my big sister, and of course she was late. So I was sitting there on a bench with my new acoustic guitar beside me and I got bored so I decided to play it. That's when Jack came over to me, with his dark hair and bright eyes, and he smiled down at me. The first thing I noticed about him was the guitar in a case in his hand. "You play?" He asked. I wondered what was wrong with him for a second, I was sitting there playing Pumped Up Kicks but no, I didn't play. I just nodded then went back to looking at my guitar. Jack sat beside me, got his guitar out and started to play too. It was an odd moment. I was sitting there playing one of my favourite songs with a complete stranger and people just stopped to watch us. Including my sister, who had now turned up, and she was laughing at us. When Jack saw my sister, he smiled and winked at her. The song was coming to a close at this time and when it did Jack said something and even though before I thought he was cool, I now thought he was an idiot. "Good job, Kid. You messed up on the chorus though" The fact that he not only called me "Kid" but he tried to make out that I messed up, when he had, made me angry. What made it worse ... He was my sister's current boyfriend.
