The results had come out on the Monday of that week.
Jesy turned up the radio of Ray Ray's car where she sat in the passenger's seat.
" . . . I told him to get off my f*cking timeline with all o' that mess but this man just kept replying like no. No I'm not letting you disrespect me for everyone to see so I reported his ass, Twitter got back to me yesterday and now his account is gone for good. That's how you gotta deal wit them." Princeton stirred his iced coffee in his hand. He sat in the back with Hoseok.
"This man and all his drama." Hoseok smacked Princeton behind the head. "You always look for trouble."
"Those words are coming outta your mouth?" Princeton cringed in his direction.
Jesy was eating from a bag of popcorn. She kept smiling at them from her seat. Tonight was the night she had been waiting for. The moment of truth. "He's the trashiest innit?"
Hoseok grabbed Princeton's coffee to slurp. "He is truly one of the gays." He shoved the cup back at Prince. "When do we get to the destination? We've been driving for hours!" His temper was suddenly out of control.
"Relax. It's only been like twenty minutes. We're almost there." Ray Ray tried to lower the music but Jesy stopped him.
She gave a mischievous smirk. "My night. My rules."
Ray shrugged slowly. "Alright. If you say so." His phone was attached to the speakers. "Just let me get in contact with Kook real quick. Wanna know if they're there or if we're gonna have to wait."
"I never said I was gay." Prince was mumbling.
"Jungkook's latest annoying trait is punctuality. I think he and the others should be there waiting. I'm actually surprised he hasn't called to scold us." Hoseok seemed hyper but this was just how he was.
"I swear he's always got a new thing he's giving everybody a hard time about." Jesy shoved more popcorn in her mouth. Her heart kept fluttering at the idea of having a huge amusement park to just herself and her friends. Sounds romantic. Leigh's picture floated through her head. Jungkook and Perrie had given everyone information on how Leigh was doing throughout the past couple weeks. Many of them were confused since they had not known that Leigh-Anne was taking intensive therapy- not me. I knew- but they'd gotten with the program quickly. Leigh herself had come online to talk to everyone to tell them how she was feeling a few times. Her texting was brief but they all appreciated it.
Perrie described Leigh's state currently as 'just about better enough to hang out I think'. That had not been very convincing. I wanna see for myself. In Jesy's eyes Leigh should be celebrating since her exam results were so incredible. The girl placed sixth in the country and had gotten the highest grade in Math. Old white dudes on Good Morning Britain finally had something good to say about her. Old people in general actually. She got the most attention out of everyone who placed unfortunately. Jesy hoped the other kids weren't jealous. It was just pretty phenomenal that someone could be that talented and still have brains for days. She didn't top but she placed. Jesy was still pretty impressed. That and a bit relieved. She was not obsessed with Leigh's downfall as she had been in the past but it would have still stung if Leigh had placed first while Jesy barely scraped passing grades. Her family was very proud of her for passing all her subjects and Jesy even got a cake when they found out. It felt good to be celebrated.
"He is annoying." Hoseok did not even know why he was here. "I cleared my schedule to be with my friends."
"That your favourite line now?" Ray was parking his car in the mud outside the park. He could see Jungkook with his phone to his ear from here. The guy looked impatient.
