Tess was bored shitless and it seemed everyone else was too. JJ was fiddling with his buttons, Katie was re applying her lip gloss, Effy was just staring into space and Naomi was awkwardly tapping her hand on the table.
Tess couldn't take the silence anymore "What's he doing out there?"
"Most likely having a cigarette," JJ awkwardly laughed
"Yeah right, Cooks not polite enough. He would be having it right here if he was" Katie scoffed
"So what are we supposed to do, sit here and do nothing for the night?" Naomi said losing patience
"I thought we were going to do more... bad things at this party Eff" Pandora whispered
"So did I Panda" She said dryly
The chatter slowly returned to an uncomfortable silence before Freddy's phone started ringing
"Sorry, I should get that" Freddie walked out of the old pub
"Great now they're both gone" Panda said hopelessly
"I'm still here!" JJ said enthusiastically
"Right I'm not sitting in this bloody place any longer" Katie said leaving the table "Babes you coming?" She said looking at Tess
"Yeah, let's go out then. I'm not wasting this outfit on such a shitty day" Tess said, grabbing her bag. Katie and Tess walked outside and ran into Freddie and Cook squabbling
"Listen to me Cook, we're not going. No no no way" Freddie said
"We're going to that party! All right?" Cook said before noticing Tess and Katie
"Leaving so soon girls?" Cook said, his usual grin plastered on his face
"Just about to" Tess said uninterested
"Aww come on man it was just getting good!" Cook protested
Cook's protest fell on deaf ears as Tess gave him a bored look. "Good? Cook, this has been dead since the moment we walked in"
"Course it is, Tessy," he insisted, flashing her his cheeky grin. "All it needs is a bit more... Cooky magic."
Katie scoffed, already unimpressed. "Magic? In this crappy place!"
Tess chimed in, "I think it's safe to say this place is far from magical. So yeah, we're leaving."
Cook wasn't having it. "Oi, oi, hang on a sec. There's still time for this to turn around. Just need the right vibe, yeah?" He leaned in, raising his brows suggestively at Tess.
"Well if you haven't got some crazy party lined up I'm good thanks" Tess said sarcastically
Cook smirked suddenly, his eyes lighting up with an idea. "Alright, then, how about we crash another party?"
The others made their way outside, leaving the miserable pub behind
Effy raised a brow, intrigued. "Where?"
"Freddies sister's mate is having an engagement thingy. Shit's bound to be better than this, right? Free booze, better tunes, and probably less elders." Cook's grin widened as he looked at the group expectantly.
Freddie groaned. "Cook no! We talked about this absolutely not"
Tess let out a short laugh. "Free drinks sound like an upgrade from whatever this was supposed to be."
Katie nodded. "Anything's better than this. Count me in."
"Yeah, fuck it," Naomi added. "Let's go."
Pandora jumped up excitedly. "I love weddings! Well Even if it's not the actual wedding I'm sure it will be just as romantic"
