The photo above is of the girls hair in the story so far. Tori and Ivy both have black hair, Justine's is purple and Emma's is brown. Emma hasn't been in it much but you will see more of her. I hope you're all enjoying so far :-)

It's when we were dancing around the living room that my phone buzzed saying I had received a text. I fish my phone out of my pocket to find that Luke had sent me a message. Tori looks over my shoulder to see who had messaged me. I look over at her sheepishly.

"Ivy I thought we had agreed to delete the boys from our contacts." She said.

"I never agreed to that, you just suggested it." I respond, feeling guilty. Tori huffs. I read Luke's text.

Luke: I heard that you're back in Sydney :-)
I look over at Tori with a strange face, maybe she told Luke. But hers is a mirror of mine.
Ivy: How on earth did you know that Luke?
Luke: I have my sources ;)
Ivy: Luke you creep tell me how you know!?
Luke: Haha it's a secret ;)
Ivy: Ok well I'm gonna go now... Bye
Luke: No wait! I have a question for you.
Ivy: Ok I'm listening go on.
Luke: Well now that Ashton's back the boys and I are having a small get together tomorrow. Ash and Mikey have invited some girls over and Cal and I wanted to invite you and Tori over. So do you wanna come?

I look over at Tori who has been reading over my shoulder for the whole time. She smiles and nods her head. I take that as a yes.

Ivy: We'd both love to come :)
Luke gives me the time and the house address of the boys, and Tori and I settle down to watch a movie.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I wake the next morning, go on my phone and then jump out of bed. I go into Tori's room and see that she's still sleeping; well not for long Tori. I jump on her bed and shake her.

"Ivy!"

"What?"

"Stop jumping on the bed!"

"But why? It's so fun!"

"Not for me, get off!" Tori then shoves me. Luckily I land safely on the floor. That could've been a disaster.

"Get ready Tori because you've slept in and we only have one hour to get ready!" I say.

"What time is it?" Tori groans.

"12:30pm." I say. She screams and jumps out of bed racing for the shower. Looks like I'll be showering second.

After we both shower, we ponder on what we should wear. A dress or shorts and a nice top? Fancy or casual? Eventually I give up and text Luke.

Ivy: What should I wear today?
Luke: Nothing ;)
Ivy: Calum could you please give Luke his phone back -_-
Luke: Oh my god I'm so sorry!
Ivy: It's alright Luke, I was just wondering what kind of dress this occasion is?
Luke: Oh whatever you feel comfortable in! Just casual, I'm wearing jeans and a
t-shirt :-)
Ivy: Luke it's like 40°c! How are you wearing jeans?
Luke: Sorry Ivy I've got to go! The boys want me to help make this place actually walkable :-) See you soon!

Tori decides on a casual floral dress and converse whilst I just chuck on a t-shirt dress and converse. We grab our bags and head out of the house and into the hot Sydney air and into Tori's car.

•••

We walk up to the front door of the house. The house the four boys are currently living in is huge! I knock on the door and we wait for someone to answer. Soon enough we see Luke's cheery face.

"Come on in guys!" He says grinning.

We walk in and our mouths open in shock. The house is so big inside and there is a big stairway leading upstairs. Luke however leads us down a corridor which opens into a big open space with a kitchen and living area. I see Calum talking to a girl who I can only see from the back who has brown hair. Sitting on the couch is Michael and Ashton who are laughing.

"Would you like anything to drink?" Luke asks. I shake my head and Tori gets a lemonade. Calum comes over and takes Tori away to introduce her to the girl. Luke looks at me and says,

"Obviously you already know the boys. I'll come introduce you to Emma."

He leads me over to the brunette girl.

"Ivy this is Emma, Emma this is Ivy." Emma smiles at me and gives me a hug. We talk about lots of general things, such as where we live, schools/universities, favourite music artists; lots of things. I discover that Emma is 19 the same as Tori and was invited here by Michael. She and Michael met at a pizza place she used to work at in Sydney, a couple of months ago.

Tori, Emma and I talk a lot and we have some fun laughing with all of the boys. Ashton has loosened up a lot since I last saw him, but I could tell he was still a bit awkward around me. Luke and I sat down and talked catching each other up on some news of what the other one has been doing.

"So Luke you said the other boys had invited some friends over. Emma is obviously close with Michael. What about Ash?" I say.

"Yeah well Ashton said his friend was coming. Obviously she's running a bit late." He says. We continue talking and we go and sit down with the rest of the group all of us laughing and chatting.

Then there's a knock on the door. Ashton gets up off the couch and strides towards the door.

"She's here!" He exclaims happily. He opens the door and hugs the girl and she walks in.

And standing there is Justine.
