Tessa's P.O.V

"Okayyyy?... so I have been waiting all day to ask you this" She paused for a dramatic effect but I could see the impatience on her face and the fidgetiness of her fingers.

She shut her eyes "Istheresomethinggoingonbetweenyouandgab?" She said in one breath and I hardly understood any part of it.

"Trying talking like a human then I may get at least part of what you say" I mocked her.

"Are you and Gab hooking up?"

"Damn. Ofcourse not!" I said a bit too quickly for my liking. Elle raised her eyebrows telling me 'seriously? Don't give me that crap'. "Okay. Okay. Fine." I put my hands up in surrender. "He just asked me out and it was so sweet and I couldn't say no. No biggie" I said with a light blush.

"OMG Tessa! This is amazing. You are finally moving on and getting your prince charming." She started squealing and jumping around getting us weird looks from the other people in the park.

"Hold your horses woman! We have decided to take things extra slow and don't forget you have to kiss many frogs before you get your prince charming"

She shook her head at me "You are totally hopeless Tess."

"But you still love me." I winked

"Unfortunately." She put her arms around me and started walking towards the guys who were setting up the food on the picnic blanket.

"Done with your girl bonding time?" Cam teased which earned him a punch from Ellie and I just stuck my tongue out at him.

I didn't even know where they went but they brought 4 take-away shakes with them.

I took the Chocolate-Oreo and Hershey's shake, Ell took the strawberry ripple with fruits shake, Cam took the vanilla with chocolate chips shake and Gab had the cold coffee shake.

"You are just jealous" Elle teased him.

"Yeah sure I am." Cam said sarcastically, that's all it took for Elle and Cam to start arguing like an old couple. I just rolled my eyes at them and shifted my attention to Gab. He was just drinking his shake... I wanted to try his...it looked so yummy!

"Can I try yours?" I asked Gab.

"u-um ... s-sure" he stuttered unsurely

I took a sip from his straw and boy was it Yummmyyyy.... it was like heaven ... so flavoursome. I couldn't resist drinking a bit more.

"Just one sip, I didn't tell you to finish the whole thing." He pouted.

"But it was just so yummy." I smiled sheepishly. He rolled his eyes and muttered

'Impossible'

We ate at an Italian restaurant that night and had dessert at Haagen-Dazs. As the sun set, the buildings glowed with pink and red light. The stores closed early, as they always do in England, so we headed to the Thames River. The river itself is nothing to look at; the water often appears muddy, and no one would dare swim in it. But the view makes the visit worthwhile. From there you can see it all: the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul's Cathedral and the newly-built Tate Modern Museum.

We said our goodbyes after an incredible day of exploring London and parted our ways.it was quite an amazing day.

' It was worth our while'

*Next day morning*

'Get up sleepyhead!' I heard someone call out to me. I just ignored the annoying voice and nuzzled my face deeper into the pillow and pulled the covers over my head to block out the sudden light in the room.

Suddenly the sheets were yanked off my body and cold wind hit my body like a truck. I groaned and put my hand over my eyes in an attempt to block out the light. "You are going to be late to school if you don't get up this very minute young lady." Regina shouted. I slowly got up and stretched my arms while yawning. My eyes shifted to my bedside table and I my eyes almost popped out of their sockets when I saw the time. "Holy shit!" I cursed.

I jumped out of bed and did my morning routine at superman speed. I grabbed a granola bar and my backpack from the kitchen and ran out the door. Well I guess I will just have to eat part of my breakfast in car today.

I didn't even get to dress properly all I wore today was skin colour knee length khakis a light blue t-shirt with blue flats I put eyeliner and nude lip gloss that's all.

I reached school exactly 3 minutes before the first bell rings. 'Phew' that was close I thought.

I parked my car and got out. It wasn't difficult to find a parking as I had a reserved one. No one dared to park at my spot since I go rough with those who mess with me.
