"I can't believe Jack and Jack are here, in London" Casey smiles widely at me as we FaceTime

"Me neither, the only thing is we have school tomorrow" I huff

Even though tomorrow is Friday, who really wants to wake up at 6.30 and go to school?

"Why don't we just skip?" She wiggles her eyebrows

"And how would that work?" I ask

"We tell our parents we're sick, your dad will be in work all day and so will my parents. Easy" she smirks

"I guess we could get away with that"

"And we will" she says with confidence

"So what are we going to do?"

"Go shopping, duhh...and maybeeee stalkJackandJack" she says the last bit so fast I can barely understand what she said

"I see, I see" I smirk back at her

"I'm going to bed anyway, it's 12:30" she yawns

"Yeah me too, I'll speak to you tomorrow then" I wink

"Bye" she laughs

I lay back on my bed and smile

"Life is good man" I whisper to myself

*alarm*

"Shit" I mumble and run to the hair dryer

Even though I'm not going to school I still set my alarm so I could go and tell my dad I'm 'sick' before he goes to work

"Mornin' Gab" my dad says as I walk into the kitchen

"Hi" I mumble

"What's wrong?" He turns and faces me

"I don't feel too good" I put my hand on my forehead" not forgetting I had just blown my face with the hair dryer;)

"Woah, you're burning up" he feels my cheeks

"I guess I'll have to phone in sick today and look after you" my dad walks towards the phone

"You don't have to do that" my eyes go wide

"I can look after myself, I'll most likely just sleep all day anyway" I shrug

"Are you sure?" He gives me a sympathetic look

"Of course" I walk over to him and give him a hug

Thank god he hasn't remembered about Janofest tomorrow

I walk back upstairs into my room and call Casey

"Casey!" I whisper so my dad doesn't hear

"What did your dad say?" She whispers back

"He believed it, I'm staying off"

"Me too!" She gets excited but controls herself

"I'll call you when he's gone" I laugh and hang up

I turn to my alarm and read that it's 7 am

Ain't nobody got time for that, I lay back and close my eyes

I guess I could do with a few more hours of sleep

My body shoots up as my phone awakens me

"Hello?" I answer before looking to see who it is

"Are you ready?" I notice Casey's voice

"No, I just woke up. What time is it?" I rub my eyes

"It's 11, hurry up and get ready!"

"Ok ok, I'll go get in the shower" I hang up

Damn I slept for a long time.

I must have been in the shower for about 40 minutes, no exaggeration

As I walk out of the shower I pick up my phone and notice a bunch of texts from Casey, but one catches my eye

It reads
"Are you coming tomorrow?"
I don't have the number saved so I have no idea who it could be

I dial the number and a boy answers

"Gabby?" I recognise Johnson's voice and hang up

Wait, what just happened?

How did Jack Johnson get my number?

I quickly dial Casey's number

"You finally answer!" She huffs

"Something weird just happened" I speak

"Did you get your period?" She asks

"No!...I just got a text off a number I didn't have saved saying "are you coming tomorrow?", So I called them and guess who it was"

"Who?" She asks

"Jack Johnson" the line goes silent

"Are you sure?" She asks serious

"Pretty sure"

I hear her whisper something but can't quite make it out, it sounded like "dammit"

"That's pretty weird Gab, I don't know what to tell you" she says in a weird tone

Oookay then...

"Whatever, I'm gonna carry on getting ready. Speak to you later" I hang up

I get a Twitter notification

"@JackJackJohnson: Wow. That Ben was indeed quite Big."
