One week. I've been here one week, and I still haven't made a single friend. Well, unless that Luke guy counts but I haven't seen him since that day.
I walked down the stairs to be greeted with my mums beaming smile.
"So, whats the plan for today Lola?"
"Probably the same as yesterday, and the day before that... and they day before that... and the day be-"
"Oh Lola! Cheer up! Why don't you call that guy that gave your number? See if he wants to do something? You need to get out the house and enjoy summer!"
"Ok ok ok Mum, I guess I could ring him"
Nervous doesn't even cover it. I pressed call...
"Hey, who is this?"
"Um hey Luke, It's Lola"
"Oh hey Lola! I thought I'd scared you off, whats up?"
"Nothing much, I was just wondering if you wanted to do something today..."
"Ah man, I already have plans but you could come over now for an hour or so if you want"
"Sure, I'll come over now"
"Great, see you soon"
I quickly got changed into some denim shorts, a tshirt and my converse then ran down the stairs.
"Are you going out?!"
"Yeah, just over the road for an hour"
"Why don't you wear something cuter?"
"Mum its boiling outside, I just wanna be comfy!"
"Ok ok, get going then!"
Now I was even more nervous. How do I greet him? What do I say? What if he thinks I look bad? Should I have worn something cuter? Whilst worrying about all of this, I had found myself at his front door. I knocked. An unfamiliar face answered the door.
"You must be Lola?"
"That's me"
"I'm Beau, Lukes brother, he's upstairs being a faggot'
"Oh... Um..."
"Come in"
"Ok, thanks"
This is awkward. Luke's brother? I didn't even know what to say to Luke and now I'm sat in a room with his brother. Great.
"So, Luke said you're British?"
"Yeah I am"
"How come you moved to Melbourne?"
"My Dad's job moved here"
"Oh right... you don't talk much do you?" He said jokingly.
He was right. I needed to try make more of an effort. I bet I look like such an idiot right now.
"Lola! Hey!" said Luke as he burst through the door.
"Hey Luke!"
Luke, Beau and I sat talking for hours. Luke even cancelled his plans to stay and talk. I get on with them so well, what was I even worried about?
"I think I'm gonna head off now guys" I said.
"Alright Lola, see you later" said Luke.
"See you, Lola" said Beau.
As I walked out the house I noticed a group of girls stood looking at me.
"Who is she?!" they muttered between themseleves.
I quickly walked aross the road and back into my house. I've not a clue who those girls were but I know that I've had a great day!
Later that night, I was getting into bed and my phone started going off, It was a random number...
"Erm.. Hello?"
"Lola, it's Beau. There's a party over at our friends and we were wondering if you wanted to come?"
"Yeah sure!"
"Meet us outside in 10 minutes!"
10 MINUTES?! How do I make myself look good in 10 minutes?! I looked through my wardrobe and grabbed my sleeveless, skater style, black lace dress. Before putting on my dress, I quickly did my make up, trying to look as presentable as possible. Before leaving the door I put on my black heels and smoothly ran my fingers through my long, wavy, brunette hair.
"MUM... DAD... I'M GOING TO A PARTY" I shouted.
Obviously, my mum came running over to see how I looked.
"Aw you look lovely! Make sure you have your phone with you just in case!"
"Got it Mum, see you later"
"Bye sweetie"
I walked over to Beau who was stood leaning against someones car.
"Wow." he said.
"Wow what?"
"Nothing" he winked. "come on, get in"
"Where's Luke?"
"He's a faggot and pussied out of coming, So he's sat playing Xbox with Jai"
I hadn't met Jai yet, but they'd told me about him earlier.
"So, it's just us?"
"Don't worry Lola, Me and Daniel will look after you!"
