Finding Alice...

Okay so I'm always raving on about how stories are my thing, I guess it's time for me to start proving that. I'm going to start posting chapters of a story called "Finding Alice.", I haven't planned it out, it's about as fresh as you're going to get from me, I'm just going to let my mind run away and see what we get!
Oh and I do have a friend called Alice but this is in no way based on her, just thought I'd clear that up(:

Finding Alice: Chapter One, Part 1

"I fell in love once. Huh, using the word love at the age of fifteen, what has the world come to? But I did though, and it was the worst thing that ever happened to me. I fell so damn hard and so damn fast, if I'd hit the ground I probably would have smashed, but I didn't, she caught me. Didn't last long though, nothing ever does. "All good things come to an end" as Nelly Furtado said, she was right. Alice was the only good thing that ever happened to me, okay maybe that's a lie, but Alice was the best thing that ever happened to me. One minute I was a bored teen stuck in high school, the next I was having the time of my life with the girl of my dreams. Don't worry, it doesn't stay soppy for long, remember what I said, falling in love was the worst thing that ever happened to me.
It was a usual summer holiday Monday, I was sitting under Kessler Bridge with Zoe, Mitch, Jessie, Lola and Dan. The gang, my five best friends. We were talking school and aspirations whilst Zoe painted her toe nails a cutesy pastel pink, Jessie stalked Jamie's facebook on her new Iphone, swooning over all of his pictures, Mitch and Dan flicked through a Nuts magazine they had stolen from Mitch's dads' garage, I guess boys will be boys. And Lola and I thumb wrestled, I was winning 2:3 and was just about to score another point when something, or should I say someone, caught my eye. She was walking towards us on the little river path, a twisty track made by rabbits and drunken teenagers, she was tall, well taller than me anyway, from where I was I could see that she had soft mocha coloured skin, long wavy brown hair and huge caramel eyes. The long grasses and wild flowers must have been tickling her legs because she was wearing short red dungarees and Doc Martens, "Wow" I breathed.
"What are you looking at Grace?" Lola asked dropping my thumb, I was actually lost for words in the first time in my life so I just pointed towards the tall figure making her away along the path.
"AGGHH" Lola called "We're being stalked"
Oh no she'd got completely the wrong end of the stick. "Shhhh" I said, laughing hysterically at the boys shocked faces and wrestling a still yelling Lola to the ground.
It was too late though, the girl had heard us and was walking towards us giggling."
