Chapter 18.

Zoe://

The next two days went by in a flash. Joe Weller was ill and Alfie hadn't been in many of my lessons.
I text him at night but the conversation usually ends in him complaining about Joe so it can get pretty boring.
But this weekend is the weekend that Joe and Alfie move in together with their families into one big house.
It's still in the village, I just haven't a clue where, nor does he apparently.
However today is Friday, and unlike the rest of the week, it's going as slow as possible.
Joe is still ill and I haven't seen Alfie yet. But I can't make it to obvious that I'm looking for someone else Louise or Niomi will bring me up on it.
I'm currently walking to my last lesson with Connor, Niomi, Marcus, Louis, Colleen and Caspar.
Connor is walking next to me, chatting away about Tyler and Troye being perfect and the fact he's in the middle again.
"Zoe?" He yells in my ear.
I prick up my head and raise my eyebrows to see him and Colleen staring at me.
"Yeah" I reply innocently,
They tried to look annoyed but a smile broke out onto their faces and I lightheartedly giggled.
"Sorry, I was away with the wind for a moment"
"We could tell" Colleen replied.
We arrived at the classroom door and walked in.
5 mins late.
We sat down at a table at the back of the class, grinning like idiots at each other.
I immediately searched the room for Alfie before getting lightly elbowed by Connor.
I turned and looked at him but he just sat there with his arms crossed and eyebrows raised, as if to remind me that I was being to obvious about it.
I pouted back to him and he smiled.
"Zoe!" The teacher of my lesson yelled.
"Sorry Sir" i squeezed my eyes, trying not to laugh as I could here a giggling Connor behind me.
"Get out" he shouted,
"But..."
"Don't argue back, go!"
I arose from my seat. Deep down I was scared but I had to almost role play so I walked out and slammed the door behind me.
******
After about ten mins being stood outside, the teacher came out and started giving me a prize winning speech about how I shouldn't talk or distract.
I strutted back in and sat down.
"Zoe, come and sit at the front" he commanded.
"No, I..."
He only had to give me a death stare once and I got straight up and sat next to Kian at the front.
******
After the lesson ended and I realised that Kian is a lot nicer than I ever realised before, I left the class room with Marcus and Louis to go and get on the bus.
******
Once I was home and sat rested on my bed I received a text from Alfie, it read;
A: Come home to the whole house full of boxes ... Joe is now star kid xxxx
I typed back a reply.
Z: where are you even moving to...????Xxxx
A: we're leaving now but having to do like 10 trips back and forth... I guess I'll soon find out. It up near your road tho. Xxxx
Z: OMG!! There's a house for sale next to mine...
A: do live at number 14 jumpsroad? Xxxx
Z: yeah... Xxxx
A: I'm number 12...
Z: GET THE ROOM THAT SEES INTO MY WINDOW!!!!!!!!!!!
A: I'm on it...
A little while later, he texted me again.
A: and he's got itttt!! Look out your window! Xxxx
I ran up to my window... This can't be happening, I can't quite work out if it's a good or bad thing. But it's happening!
I stared out my window and saw Alfie looking straight at me.
Z: why hello there mr!! Xxxx
A: you're stunning!xxxx
A: JOES COMING, DUCK!!
I ducked out the way of the window but looked through the bottom.
Joe shoved Alfie and obviously shouted something at him. Before I could do anything about it there was a knock at the door.
My parent weren't home yet, so it was just Joseph and I.
We both opened the door and there stood a family.
"Hello!" I exclaimed.
"Hi there! We've just moved in next door, we have got another two boys but they're upstairs! We just thought we would say hello!"
"This is Charlie, Phoebe and Poppy!"
"Ahh! Thank you for coming round!" I'm sure we'll get on great!, our parents will be home any minute, so we'll let them know!" I spoke up and forced a smile.
Suddenly Charlie spoke.
"I know you! Your in my tutor group at school!"
He looked younger than year 7 but I guess...
"Oh yeah! I know... Charlie Weller!"
"Joe Sugg"
"Your more than welcome to come round anytime, either of you!" The mum said.
"Thanks, same for you!!"
And with that they called good bye and left.
Me and Joseph both looked at each other.
"They seem nice!" He grinned,
"I guess so yeah..." I forced a smile back.
