"So," I said, collapsing into our crappy Ford as Tom turned the ignition on. "I'm going to meet up with Em in Starbucks in the main shopping centrw, and you've got a meeting where exactly?"
"Just outide the city centre. It's going to be for about three hours though."
I nodded and smiled. "So you can meet me in Starbucks then?"
He looked confused. "Three hours? How long does it take you to drink a coffee?"
"Hot chocolate actually and you know what Em's like!"
He smiled and turned to face the road. We pulled out of the driveway and into town. Every so often, a song came on and we both sang along to it : badly. Tom pulled into a lay by and I got out, kissed him on the cheek and walked over to Starbucks. A car horn beeped and I waved at Tom, smiling and inwardly laughing.

We sat for about half an hour gossiping and fangirling and generally being weird until finally, the question arose.
"Sooo," Em said, "anyone special on the scene?"
The others answered and it turned most had got long term partners, were single and happy or even engaged! Em always was lucky in love though. When it was my turn to answer, I like to think I played it cool...
"Nah. I've not been pulled." I casually said, lifting my mug of hot chocolate to my lips. A few of the girls laughed and I choked on my drink. "What?" I said.
"You!"
