Rafe is 18 and y/n is 17. Y/n's sister, Harper is 18.
Rafe and Harper are in 12th grade or year 13 for my British besties.
Y/n is in 11th grade or year 12.
The story of Y/n and Rafe. It wasn't exactly a fairytale romance story but it was definitely something special. I was new to Outer Banks, me wand my family had moved there at the beginning of Summer into the area of Figure Eight. Yes, we had money and we were classed as 'rich' but we didn't exactly fit into the Kook lifestyle. I didn't rly understand the whole Kook and Pogue thing but we went along with it anyway.
My first day at school was the scariest. My older sister Harper was fine, she would fit in fine. She was blonde, tall and beautiful, she was the dream child or the favourite child. She loved the rich lifestyle and she took full advantage of it.
We pulled into the car park in her white and pink Audi, of course, and she parked close to the school doors. I climbed out the car and grabbed my bag from the floor. She grabbed her bag from the back seat and we walked towards the doors.
We made our way to the office, all eyes on us. Two new girls. Sitting on the chairs waiting for the principal. They finally walked in and took a deer behind the desk and we all had a long conversation.
It soon ended and me and Harper walked out the office. As soon as we got out the door she turned to look at me and said "don't talk to me here. If you see me ignore me." She faintly smiled and walked off towards a locker. She was soon engulfed in a crowd of people wanting to talk to her. How annoying.
I found my locker and struggled to open it. I felt a presence behind me making me stop and back away from my locker.
"Sorry to scare you. Do you need some help?"
I turn to see a boy stood next to me.
"Oh, hello. Yes I do need help actually."
"No problem, you just need to hit the left side while you twist the locker. They are all dodgy."
"Oh thank you." I say awkwardly smiling.
"No problem, your new aren't you? I'm Rafe Cameron." He says holding his hand out.
I shake his hand and nod. "Yes I'm new. I'm y/n y/l/n. Nice to meet you Rafe. Your THE Rafe Cameron aren't you? Ward Cameron's son?" I ask.
"That I am. Not like it's all that great anyway." He says quickly. "Is that your sister over there?" He asks.
"Oh uh yeah. Harper."
"Harper. Your name has a much better ring to it.
Y/n" he says smiling. "Y/n." He repeats making me laugh.
"You can go talk to Harper you know. You don't have to talk to me." I say turning to open my locker using Rafe's tip. The locker swung open and I placed my things in there, hanging my jacket on the peg on the inside of the door.
"I don't want to talk to her. Your more intriguing to me."
"Oh really?" I question.
"Yes. Your not throwing yourself into crowds of people to be known. I like that about you." He smiles.
The bell rings and the corridors empty.
"What class have you got?" He asks.
"Chemistry in B15." I say looking at my schedule.
"I have the same class I'll walk you there."
I smile and close my locker following Rafe to the class.
We both take a seat towards the back of the classroom. The class suddenly filled up and all the seats around us were taken. I didn't recognise anyone but Rafe sure did. I sat in silence as the boys around us engaged Rafe in conversation.
"Hey, this is y/n. She's new to school."
"She has an older sister doesn't she? She's beautiful."
"Yeah, I have an older sister, Harper." I say quietly.
"Dude that's not right. At least talk about something else other than her sister."
"So y/n. Where did you love here from?" One boy asks.
"London. It's very different to up here." I say.
"Oh, your British. I wondered what your accent was."
"I like your accent. It suits you. I'd move to the UK." Rafe says smiling.
The teacher walks in and closes the door behind them. They place their bag on the floor and begin to write something on the chalk board.
"Alright class, settle down. I see we have a new student joining us today. Care to introduce yourself y/n." They say turning around and looking directly at me. Everyone turns to look at me and i stand up.
"Uh, hello I'm y/n y/l/n. I moved from London, United Kingdom just a few days ago."
"Oh wonderful. Thank you for that, you can take a seat." I nod and sit back down.
__________________________________________
After class ends I follow Rafe out towards the lockers where I met him for the first time.
"I have maths next in C6 where are you?" He asks.
"Oh I also have maths in C6. My lucky day I guess." I laugh. We walk to the class, his friends following behind.
"Your in the our class again? Our lucky day then." They snigger.
"Yeah I am, better get to know me then if your seeing more of me daily."
We walk to maths and the same happens again of me having to introduce myself. Except this time a blonde boy turns around to talk to me.
"Hey y/n, I'm JJ. Look your pretty hot and there's a party tonight wanna go?" He questions.
"Hey JJ, and uh yeah sure I'd love to go. Who's hosting it?"
"The Pogues of course. The best parties. The Kooks will join either way so your cool to come."
School soon ends and I walk over to my sisters car. I stand there for a while until the car park is pretty much empty and she finally arrives. As she gets closer I can see her lipstick smudged across her face.
"Had fun Harper? While I've been stood here like a lemon for 30 minutes." I say angry.
"Sorry the boys here are just so hot. Rafe Cameron is gorgeous, wouldn't kiss me though." She says.
"Aw no what a bummer." I say sarcastically climbing in the car.
"Don't worry I saw how he ignored me and stayed by your side all day." Harper smiles.
"Yeah him and his friends are nice. I got invited to a party today by a blonde boy named JJ."
"You got invited to a party? I didn't?" Harper says.
"Yeah I did. Guess they aren't as interested in you." I laugh.
"Well I'm going either way."
"I'm joking. He told me the Kooks always go either way and I need a ride there so."
On the way home, we were talking about what outfits we were going to wear for the beach party the Pogues were throwing.
__________________________________________
Once at home, I ran through the front door straight to my room upstairs. I knew I wanted to look cute, so I searched through every shelf and wardrobe I had to find something to wear. I was never told what time it was, but I thought it would have been later on in the evening.
As I was trying on clothes I heard a slight knock at my window. I cautiously walked over to my window and opened it. I stuck my head out the window and saw Rafe stood in my garden.
"Rafe what the fuck are you doing at my house?" I say quickly, dodging the rock he threw.
"Sorry!"
"Rafe. How did you find where I live?"
"Your sister told me. Said you might need a ride."
"Well don't just stand there. Climb the tree. My parents will kill me if they know your there." I shout down.
"Y/n, honey! We are home!" I hear my mum shout from downstairs.
"Hi mum, I'll be down in a minute. I'm just trying on some clothes!" I shout back.
"Rafe hurry up!" I say as he struggles to climb the tree. "Even I can climb the tree better than you."
"You climb your tree?" He asks.
"Yeah, I climb down it to get out when my parents are asleep. Been doing it the past few days. The beach down the road is gorgeous at night."
Rafe finally reaches the window, he moves his leg in the window and shuffles himself forward.
"Uh a little help please." He says struggling.
I laugh and grab his hand pulling him inside the room. He falls onto the floor but jumps up straight away.
"How graceful." I say sarcastically.
"How do you not know how to climb a tree?" I ask him.
"I normally don't need to sneak out my room and there's no trees to climb outside my bedroom window."
"You never used to climb trees as a kid?"
"No? Was I meant to?"
"Must just be a British thing to do then. Me and my childhood friends would climb all sorts of trees. My dad built us a treehouse in my back garden and I loved it. Harper wasn't fussed about climbing and things like that so I had it to myself and it was great."
"Wow. I've never had a treehouse." He says in awe.
"Your rich enough? How have you not had a treehouse, wow that's crazy."
"I golf instead."
"Y/n, I thought you were coming downstairs?" I hear my dad shout.
"Shit. Stay here and don't make a sound!" I say to Rafe rushing out my room and shutting the door behind me.
I run downstairs to greet my parents.
"How was your first day of school?"
"It was good actually, the people are really nice. They were very interested in my accent and I got invited to a party. Can I go?"
"Of course you can go! Go make some new friends it will be good for you."
I smile and rush back upstairs. I walk down the hallway towards my room, I open the door and see Harper sitting on my bed with Rafe.
"Harper?" I close the door behind me and lock it.
"How come Rafe Cameron is in your room? You know the rules."
"Your the one that told him our address! And he was throwing rocks at my window I had to let him in or he would cause a scene with mum and dad. I couldn't have him getting caught."
"Oh Yeah I did give him our address. Was hoping he would come to my bedroom window not yours."
"Y/n, I thought you were coming downstairs?" I hear a male voice shout from downstairs.
"Shit. Stay here and don't make a sound!" Y/n says rushing out the room and shutting the door behind her.
I walk around her room, looking at the boxes left in a corner. The photo frames of a group of young kids with their arms around each other. I pick up the photo and look closer at it, it's y/n and a few others, must be the childhood friends she was talking about.
I look at more of the photos she has on her shelves. I see one in a small, wooden frame with wooden hearts surrounding it. I pick it up off the shelf and see it's y/n with a young boy, he has his arm around her and she's smiling. The boy was the same boy in the group photo. I place it back on the shelf and walk over to her nightstand. There's one book left there on the corner of it. 'It ends with us' I read out-loud.
Creaks come from down the hallway. I turn around quickly wondering whether it was y/n or her parents. I rush quickly towards the window. The door opens and Harper stands there.
"Well if it isn't Rafe Cameron. I knew you would take my up on my offer to visit my sister. My parents don't know your here by the way." I climb back inside the room and stand at the window.
She looks around the room.
"She will know you have been snooping. The book on her nightstand has moved and the photo frames on her shelves are in the wrong place. She's very particular about that." She walks over to the shelves and corrects the frames.
"You were looking at her photos then. Especially this one." She says picking up the one of y/n and the young boy that was face down on the shelf. She places it back in its correct place.
"You don't have anything to worry about with him. That's just her best friend, Sam, they were inseparable before we moved here. She hasn't gotten over that for sure, but there's nothing else but friendship between them two."
"I wasn't worrying." He says quickly.
"Calm down Rafe. I was joking. I won't tell her about you snooping." I walk over to her bed and sit down on it. Harper takes a seat next to me and picks up the teddy sitting on the bed.
"Y/n's favourite teddy in the world. Sam bought her it before she moved away." She places it back down and soon enough we hear footsteps along the hallway. Y/n opens the door smiling and stand there's for a few seconds when she sees Harper.
"Harper?" She says closing the door behind her and locks it.
"How come Rafe Cameron is in your room? You know the rules." Harper jokes.
"Your the one that told him our address! And he was throwing rocks at my window I had to let him in or he would cause a scene with mum and dad. I couldn't have him getting caught."
"Oh Yeah I did give him our address. Was hoping he would come to my bedroom window not yours."
"Harper! Get out!" She says.
"Fine, I'm leaving." She sighs. "Bye Rafe." She smiles and winks at me before unlocking the door and leaving.
She rushes back to the door to lock it again.
"Sorry about her." She apologises.
__________________________________________
Y/n's Pov:
"She told me about your best friend, Sam. I don't think she was meant to but she did." He says.
"Oh yeah. I knew she would say something soon enough. Did she warn you that we are just friends?" I say laughing.
"Yeah she did. Why?"
"She does it with every boy that ever speaks to me. She did it in London at my old school, even though everyone knew we were just friends she decided to tell them anyway and scare them off."
"So him being your best friend, does that mean he has to approve of people you date?" He asks not subtle at all.
"Yeah, and he only approves of certain people. Why are you asking?"
"Just curious."
"If your wondering, he would approve of you. If Harper likes you then he will as well. You threw rocks at my window and risked it by climbing into my room, he will definitely like you. You remind me of him, I like that about you." I say quietly.
We stay in silence for a few seconds before I walk back over to my wardrobe.
"So it's a beach party right?" He nods. "So I need beach wear and party wear in one."
"I'm just wearing my swimming trunks and a shirt." He shrugs.
"Yes, but you know everybody there and I'm trying to make a good impression." I throw some clothes onto my bed. "Ok so which outfit do you like better." I say holding up the different outfit combinations.
"That one!" He says pointing at the shortest dress I showed him.
"I should've seen that coming. I need shoes. Sandals or heels?" I whisper to myself. "Heeled sandals." I say smiling to myself.
"Are you talking to yourself?" He laughs.
"Yes I am. I do this every time I get ready. Ok turn around I need to change." He smirks and turns around. I throw on the dress and throw my clothes into the basket on my floor.
"You can open your eyes now. I'm dressed."
"Aw I missed the show." He says smirking again. I throw my shoe at him and laugh.
"What time does this party start?"
"Thank you." I smile at him. I stand up from the bed and walk over to my dressing table. I spray some perfume all over myself and fix my hair a little.
"Ok, I'm done."
"So you want me to drop you off?" He asks.
"Isn't that what your here for?" I say smirking.
"Guess so." He says walking over to the window.
"Be careful. Drive your car around to the front of the house so my parents can see I'm not going to die." I say laughing.
He climbs out the window and I turn to walk towards my door. He grabs my arm and pulls me back towards the window.
"Wait." He says looking at me. He leans forward and kisses me quickly before letting go of my arm and climbing down the tree. I smile and stand there in shock for a little while.
I close my window and walk to my bedroom door, grabbing my phone and bag. I make my way downstairs, and into the kitchen where my family are.
"Mum, Dad I'm going to that beach party. Rafe is picking me up."
"Rafe? Who's Rafe?" My dad asks.
"Rafe Cameron. We met today at school. He's sweet."
"Ward Cameron's son? Be careful, I've heard bad things about Ward."
"Rafe is nice dad." Harper interrupts.
"Ok, we'll I'm walking you to the door." I smile and walk to the door. Harper comes behind me and whispers in my ear.
"Tell me everything that happens, I'm not going to the party." She smiles. I smile at her and walk out the door to be greeted with a nervous Rafe stood there.
"Sorry. I was going to knock but you beat me to it." He says. "Rafe Cameron, sir." He says holding his hand out towards my dad.
My dad laughs and shakes his hand. "Call me Steve. So your Rafe Cameron. What plans do you have with my daughter?" He asks him.
"Take her to the party and watch over her. Then bring her straight back here."
My dad smiles and slightly pushes me out the door.
"Have fun sweetie!" My mum shouts from inside.
I walk out the door and walk towards Rafe's 'car.'
"I forgot to tell you. I have a motorbike not a car." He says awkwardly.
"No worries." I say climbing on the back of it. "I'm a pro, Sam has one."
He climbs on the front and I wrap my arms around his waist tightly. He starts the motor and we drive down the street. I turn around and see my family stood at the door. __________________________________________
We arrive at the beach party. I climb off the bike and follow Rafe towards the beach house. We walk inside and he hands the guy at the door a $10 note. The guy hands him two cups and we walk into the kitchen.
"Red or blue?" He asks me looking at the punch bowls.
"What's in them?"
He shrugs and taps a random person on the shoulder. "Hey man what's in these?"
"Red one has lemonade, fruit punch, vodka, rum and pineapple juice. Blue one has Coconut Rum, Blue Curacao, Blue raspberry flavored vodka. That's what I was told anyway." He says rudely before turning back around.
"I'll have a mix of both." I say smiling. He pours in half the red and half the blue into both cups.
He hands me my drink and I follow him outside the house to the beach. That's when the party begins. The sun was setting and the beach looked amazing.
"It's beautiful here. I don't think I miss London as much anymore." I say in awe.
"Outer Banks can be beautiful just depends on the day." Rare replies. "Come, meet my friends."
He reaches out to take my hand and leads me over towards a group of boys who looked high.
"Topper, Kelce. This is y/n, she's new to school."
"Y/n. We have heard a lot about you." Topper says laughing, slurring his words.
"Yeah, we have. Did he sneak in your window then?" Kelce adds on.
We both stand in silence, me confused.
"Oh he did. Good on you Rafe. Not so much daddy's son now are you?"
"Kelce shut up. This is why I never introduce anyone as my friend anymore."
The boys laugh and continue breathing in the white powdery substance on the table. I sigh and roll my eyes at the stupid boys, then see JJ in the distance. He walks over to us smiling.
"Y/n, didn't think you would come. How you doing?"
"I'm good thanks JJ, just these Kook boys suck. Look at them." I say pointing at Topper and Kelce.
"Wanna do the keg with me? There's two. You can try and beat my score of one
