On the phone: 25th July, 11:34 PM

"He just asked like that! I wasn't prepared!" Penelope squeals on the other end of the phone.

"He just asked you out. Relax! It's not like he proposed to you or anything, Nellie" I hold my phone between my shoulder and head while I paint my toe nails.

"It's a massive deal for me. I mean, I've always had a crush on Zayn."

"Awe."

"Shut up!" I can feel her blushing.

"Hold on, someone's on the other line."

"Hey big boy." I say to Liam as I hold my phone with my hand.

"Hi. Listen, I forgot to tell you something."

"Hold on, Nellie is on here too." I merge the calls.

"Liam's Here."

Penelope: "Hey Paynster"

Liam: "How many times have I told you not to call me that?"

Penelope: "But I like calling you Paynster."

Liam: "But I don't."

"Guys guys! Liam what were you saying?"

Liam: "ugh yes, Tomorrow is my football match!"

"I know."

Liam: "You know? How?"

"Harry Told me."

Liam: "Harry?"

Penelope: "Harry?!"

"Yeah.." I say casually.

Penelope: "when did you meet Harry?"

"Today, at the gym."

Penelope: "Awe."

"Err Nellie?"

Penelope: "Thats so cute! You met him yesterday and then today."

"How's that cute? It was just a coincidence."

Penelope: "That's fate. It's serendipitous!"

"Please Nellie." I roll my eyes.

Penelope: " Jesus Gene, you haven't laid eyes on anyone since Josh and you.."

"I don't wanna hear that name!"

Penelope: "But you gotta consider going out again? I mean he's gone and you're very single .."

"Nellie please!"

Liam:" for fucks sake ladies! Enough with the Boy gossip. I'm here as well."

Me and Penelope: " Sorry"

"Well, I was thinking since we're on summer break and My parents won't be back before next Monday, we could perhaps go on a short road trip?"

Liam: "like camping and stuff?"

"Yeah."

Liam: "This is....an incredible idea!"

Penelope: " Yes! sounds good to me!"

"So i guess its a Plan!? you guys can invite anyone you want as far as I know them."

Penelope: " Can I invite Zayn?"

Liam: " Zayn? I dunno, he seems a bit...um Off."

"What do you mean 'Off'? isn't he your friend?"

Liam: "Not really, He knows Louis so he hangs out with us but I dunno him personally."

Penelope: " He just doesn't like crowded places or talk to people much. He's...very Shy kinda guy."
