(Z=Zoe, n=Niomi, l=Louise)
L: "okay so hi Facebook! Here's our hot or not video!"
Z: "Marcus Butler, meh"
L: "no"
N: "yesss!"
N: "Louis Cole?, just no..."
L: "Joe Weller?"
Z: "is that the new boy?"
N: "he's hotttt!"
Z: "yeah I guess!"
L: "yeah!"
Z: "Alfie Deyes"
L: "wait, who's Alfie?"
N: "he's a nerd I think"
Z: "he's an alright I guess, for a nerd"
After around 10 mins more of filming we uploaded the video to Facebook. I couldn't stop myself from feeling incredibly bad though. I couldn't let my brain admit to myself that Alfie was hot. I needed to see him. If he sees the video on Facebook he will assume that that's my normal self. I can't let him think that.
"Zoe?" Niomi yelled as she waved her small hand in font of my eyes,
"Yeah" I replyed as I shook myself out of my daydream,
"The pizza is here!" She excitedly grinned,
I she smiled a reply and got up to get plates from Louise's modern, monochrome kitchen.

I woke up, my eyes dreary and an automatic headache struck me. I sat up and looked over towards Louise and Niomi, of which were both still captured in a deep sleep.
I rolled over and grabbed my phone.

I read the comment on our video;
'Louis cole: "oiiiii"'
I then began to read the message;
'Alfie Deyes'
Shit. He saw the video. My breath hitched in my throat. I turned to check that Louise and Niomi were still sleeping which thankfully they were. I clicked onto the message;
'Alfie Deyes: hey Zoë, meet me in the library after school on Monday?'
Holy crap. He actually wants to meet me.
I couldn't contain my excitement as I grinned down at my phone.
I quickly typed a reply;
'Zoe: hey Alfie, yeah of course! But secret!'
I pouted my lips and smiled as my stomach erupted into butterflies.
He wanted to meet me... He actually wanted to see me again!
