We all try to hold our laughter in but fail, in the corner of my eye I catch Tristan nodding slightly...could it be true? I feel a deep red blush creeping up on my cheeks...omg! After dinner we all go to the back of the coach were the Xbox is and we all settle down to play Call of Duty  but like the girls we are, we preferred to watch (apart from Liz who actually was pretty good). I was starting to feel a little, so I went into the kitchen to make myself some coffee, as the coffee machine was pouring the hot coffee into the cup I felt someone behind me, I turned around and saw that Caitlin sat at the table "what's up?" I ask "Oh...nothing much. it's just that Chiara-" I walk up to her and put my hand on her shoulder "hey...calm down its all good, I think that the fact that we nearly kissed means that there is at least a chance that he might like me" I smile softly and she smiles back and hugs me "your coffee's ready" she whispers, I get up and take the cup warming my hands "wanna go and see what they're up to?" I ask and she gets up nodding. We go to the back and see that James and Liz are playing together (the game is limited to a two player game), "I'm gonna beat you in this game James" "Well you might win the battle but you wouldn't  be able to win the war." He smiles "Oh yeah? what's the challenge?" she asks, not taking her eyes if the screen "an arm wrestle " everyone else does a low wolf whistle "wait...that won't be fair!" Chiara says getting out from her position was to be cuddled next to Connor "Actually she asked for that!" Tristan states who was spread right out taking half the space drinking red bull. Brad pauses the game "dibs on being the referee!" James and Elizabeth put the remotes on the sofa and walk to the coffee table that was in the middle of the room, they kneel down on opposite sides and lock there hands together "right no cheating guys we want this to be a fair game" Brad says trying to put on a proper, posh English accent I go and sit next to Tristan and we catch glances which made both of us a little..."THREE, TWO, ONE" I could tell that Lizzie's muscles tensed up but James looked calm and as if nothing was happening "your stronger than you look" James says and we laugh. Finally Elizabeth started to push his arm down a little "Look who lifted there elbow" James says quickly, "elbow down Liz" Brad says " James stop letting me win" Liz says/shouts clearly annoyed as she slams her elbow down "Fine, you asked for that" James says as he starts to push back and eventually he wins.


"There is a valid reason to why he won HE'S A MAN! for goodness sake" she says. After the arm wrestle she wouldn't stop talking and trying to give reasons to why she lost we all decided to go to sleep because we had a long journey on a road that went right though a desert. "Buts it's only 12:47" Chiara whines switching her phone off "We need to sleep" I say climbing into my bunk and closing the curtain. I hear Chiara still whining but she eventually went to sleep. I try to sleep but my phone buzzed and I see that it's a text from Caitlin:


Caitlin: I dare you to text Tristan and ask if he likes you in THAT way.


Sophie: Are you out of your godamed mind?!  


However curiosity took over and I found myself texting Tristan:


Sophie: are you awake?


Tristan: yes


Sophie: I was just wondering what happened today at the table


Tristan: we nearly kissed but Chiara stopped us...did I make you uncomfortable?


Sophie: Oh no...its funny because I don't see why someone like you should like someone like min THAT way.


Tristan: What do you mean someone like me?


Sophie: Well your famous and you have this whole crowd of fans that are girls and they are so much better than me for you...agree?


Tristan: WTF Sophie?! I like you out of everyone! Coz I know I can be myself around you, I like you in that way coz your not one of those fans that would scream in face and cry for no particular reason! I like you because you are so down to earth and that your not afraid to be yourself!


I smile knowing that he likes me finally I know for sure . That long speech/text me feel so special suddenly when I know that at lunch I felt like total crap.


Sophie: Thank you Tris...for everything


Tristan: No thank you for actually being there for me when I thought that I needed to be by myself, but you proved that problems can't be solved when your on your own


I laugh and I hear him laugh to, underneath my bed. "thanks Tristan" I say again but this time I whisper it.
