To: Mr. Hood (11:07pm)

Caluuuum! Why are you sleeping?

From: Mr. Hood (11:08pm)

I'm not sleeping

To: Mr. Hood (11:09pm)

Let's do something. I'm bored and Dee is being lazy and doesn't want to do anything

From: Mr. Hood (11:11pm)

What do you wanna do?

To: Mr. Hood (11:12pm)

One second

To: Ashtonio Irwine (11:12pm)

Drive?

From: Ashtonio Irwine (11:13pm)

Where?

To: Ashtonio Irwine (11:13pm)

Anywhere. Calum too?

From: Ashtonio Irwine (11:14pm)

Sure

To: Ashtonio Irwine (11:15pm)

Bring cards

From: Ashtonio Irwine (11:16pm)

Done

To: Mr. Hood (11:17pm)

Ashton's on his way.

From: Mr. Hood (11:18pm)

That was longer than a second

To: Mr. Hood (11:18pm)

Shush you. And bring your speakers.

Ashton took us to a nice wooded area with a clearing out onto a lake, I joked asking if he shows this place to all the girls, he faked shock saying that it was only ever supposed to be for Calum. Calum gasped, grasping at his chest 'be still my beating heart' and lay on the grass pretending to swoon. I love these guys.

We sat around just chatting and playing cards, music playing quietly in the background from Ashton's phone on the speakers. Ashton and I told jokes that only we laughed at, and Calum and I danced to Uptown Funk, when I told him that I had always wanted to with him. Hot damn!

After teaching them about Casino, a card game taught to me by my family, we played for a while. I gave up after half an hour. They just weren't getting it. We decided on Poker, I told them I sucked but that we should play for drinks. Winner gets all their drinks bought for them on the next night out, so far, I was set for the next three nights.

"That's not fair, you said you sucked" Ashton sulked, as I basked in my glory once again.

"Hussler" Calum huffed

I pushed him over, "hey, how very dare you? I, Mr. Hood am no hussler, I just suck less than you two" I look down at my phone as it vibrates in my lap, just as it has been doing most of the time since we've been here. I quickly reply to the text

To: Prima Ballerina (2:34am)

I'm not going to bet an ice cream cake with mini golf. My boobs would totally get in the way, it's a guaranteed victory for you. I'll play pool though, I'm not good but I have a better chance at winning

From: Prima Ballerina (2:36am)

Ha, yeah right. I'll take you down no problem

To: Prima Ballerina (2:37am)

You keep telling yourself that

"You're not even paying attention! That's rude as balls" Ashton lays back on the grass, "I don't want to play anymore"

"Aww, don't be sad Chicken" I rest my head on his stomach looking up at the stars, "I'll let you win, I promise" once again my phone vibrates and I lift it to my face to read the reply.

Calum quickly stands up, grabbing my phone from me, "who do you keep texting? You haven't stopped on this thing all night" He opens up the text, reading out loud holding the phone above his head as I am now trying to reach for it. "Babe, you..."

"Calum, that's private!"

"... Have no idea, what you just got yourself into. Ooh, and a winky face. Flirt much"

I punch him in the chest, grabbing my phone from him "I don't like you" I say sitting back down, replying to the text quickly with a 'sorry' and 'have to go' before putting my phone away.

"So, who's this prima ballerina?" Calum plops down next to me, I don't reply, "come on" he smiles holding out a cigarette for me, I take it, smirking at him. "Is it Luke?" He whispers.

I look around to see where Ashton was laying, except now he wasn't on the ground, he was a few feet away trying to climb a tree. Monkey man.

"You know, I still haven't met Michael. Has he been like a hologram all this time or something?" I look back to Calum.

He huffs in frustration, "you'll meet him tomorrow, he's actually coming out with us, now don't change the subject. Is it Luke?"

"Yeah" I light the cigarette

"Oh, yeah!" He does a body roll as best he can while sitting down.

"And people say that I'm weird" I laugh

"So?" He wiggles his eyebrows at me

"What?" I put out my cigarette on the make shift ashtray Calum made. "And your cigs taste fowl by the way" he ignores my last statement

"Prima ballerina huh?" He smirks, "I see you"

"That's because I'm right in front of you Cal"

"Yeah, play dumb, it's looks cute on you" he runs from me laughing before I can hit his arm.

"Fuck you Calum!"
