The next morning, we were all awoken by Cheryl, who basically cooked us breakfast so we could leave on time. I found it funny how she did that, knowing that there was absolutely no way we would have done this all by ourselves. It was the earliest we'd all woken up, but the most awake we'd all been. I was so excited, thinking about the fact that I was going to be bathing in the sun in less than 24 hours. Nevertheless, I couldn't keep my eyes open for longer than 5 seconds if I stopped doing whatever I was doing. I had noticed that Reece had left my room already, which made me a bit sad but it was good since no one could find out.
The bathrooms were so busy after I finished, but everyone kinda clocked in at the same time. Kinda like rush hour.
I went back into my room and put the bag of Reece's presents into my backpack. I had a feeling that he saw the bag and might've taken a peek, so I wanted to keep the chances slim. Just then I heard the door open, which scared me considering I was in a checkered shirt and pants. I looked around and it was Reece.
"Hey break-oh I'm sorry" he hid behind the door a bit and waited for me to stand up. I could feel myself getting hot. I stuck my jeans on quickly and cleared my throat, he turned around.
"Yeah um sorry, I was just coming to tell you that breakfast is ready so I'll save you a place" he shut the door and stood with his hands in his pockets.
"Yeah that's fine, do you know what it is?" I took my bun down and begun to comb my hair, which is really hard considering it's half Afro.
"There's different stuff, I know there's porridge and pancakes, waffles I think as well" he nodded. I loved waffles, so I felt waaaaay more happier. I grinned at him and he grinned back.
"I'll see you in a minute then" he came over and kissed my forehead before walking out. Only then did I realise that he'd seen me without any makeup, but I realised that he didn't notice and I loved him tons more for not mentioning anything.
I tied my hair into a ponytail, although the first 2 bobbles burst so I had to 'borrow' one of Safias. I wasn't that fussed about makeup, my skin was looking better so I just put on eyeliner and mascara for then. I put on my converse and put the rest of my stuff into my back pack, taking it downstairs and joining the others. Fleur, Lauren and the boys from the other group were still getting ready. I feel for fleur though, her hair is worse than mine so dealing with that would take a while. Looks amazing though.
I picked some waffles from the bowl and ate them really fast, Charlie and Safia sat there laughing at me. I rolled my eyes once I saw James sneakily pull out his phone and videoing me. Reece moved out of view slightly, just so no one got any ideas.
"Come on guys, if you all want to survive in the showbiz life you have to be organised" Cheryl took our bowls and shooed us out the front door, where there was a coach to take us to London Heathrow. Stereo Kicks all took up the back row, and we all filled in elsewhere. I decided that I'd sit far away from reece, just so everyone didn't see us near each other constantly.
"Jesus, I can't believe were actually going" Safia dropped beside me, wiping her black stands out of her face.
"I know, my sixth form are so jealous" Lauren spoke between the gaps in the chairs.
"What sixth form do you go to?" I asked her.
"Kennings"
"Ay that's not far from our school, we go to Fishers" Safia answered perkily. Lauren smiled and leaned back. Through the gap I could see some people sleeping, and I could see Reece making jokes with his friends. I liked seeing him happy, it made me feel kinda happy too.About 40 minutes later, we arrived at the front of the airport. The coach guy told us some stuff about getting around the place, and to have a good holiday. We thanked him and jumped off, although that wasn't a good idea for me when I had a full backpack. There was a flight attendant waiting for us at the entrance, who took us to get our passports checked. We got them accepted and walked straight through to the airport. Once I got to the other side, it was then that i realised that the boys and Lauren and fleur weren't here. We were walking through the tunnel to board the plane, which looked super small.
"Were going on this alone?" Only the young asked.
"Yes, 2 private planes hired at the request of Mr Cowell. Travelling in style" one of the attendants said. I was really annoyed, because I was getting so happy about talking to Reece for the next 7 hours.
"Complimentary wifi" I heard someone say
"There's wifi?" I asked, to which everyone nodded. I felt a bit better, thinking that I could at least text him.We all sat down, I was with Safia obviously and OTY sat together. By the time I sat down I had a message off of Reece
Reece - they've split us 😥" it read.
I replied straight away
Me- I know😞 just have fun with the guys or go to sleep to pass time, I'll see you soon x
Reece - yeah okay. Have fun also babe. Love you x
I put my phone away and looked at Safia, who was also texting Charlie. I lay down on her shoulder and waited for lift off.
