Once it had finished it was 6:30 and slightly dark outside.
I walked outside the hall and leaned against the wall beside the door.
I pulled my phone out my pocket to see Dan had texted me;
"Hey Hazel, I'll pick you up cause it's dark outside. Call me once you've finished- Dan x

I looked up to my phone to see Leo in front of me.
"Hi," he said leaning on the wall next to me.
"Hi," I mumbled back.
He smiled, "Oh, I'm Leo by the way."
"Hi, I'm Hazel."
We were in awkward silence when Sam and Trinity approached us,
"Hey Hazel, you being picked up?"
Sam asked, I nodded.
"Cool, we'll wait with you," she asked giving me a cheesy smile.
"Yeah, um that's fine. One second I need to make a call," I said.
I turned to Leo who looked as awkward as I did,
"I got to go," he mumbled.
"Are you coming again?" I asked, he nodded and said,
"Yeah, see you next week."
I waved goodbye, and said, "Bye."
"Bye," he winked at me.

He had only just set foot out the room when Trinity blurted out,
"He likes you." I shook my head and said,
"He doesn't, does he?"
Sam chuckled and asked,
"Have you had a relationship before?" I shook my head and said, "No."
Trinity looked like she was about to say something when Sam punched her in the arm and said,
"Don't even start you slut!" Trinity frowned and folded her arms.
"Trinity's had a lot of 'boyfriends' in her time," Sam told me.
"Oh, I've got to call my dad. I'll only be a second," I said walking over to a hallway, dialling the number.

"Hey Dan,"
"Hazel! Have you just finished?"
"Yeah, about a minute ago. Should I start walking home?"
"No, stay there and I'll take you home. I'll only be a minute."
"Okay, thanks Dan."
"Are you on your own?"
"No, I made two friends and I'm waiting with them."
"Okay, see you in a bit."
"Bye."

"He'll be here in a minute," I said joining Sam and Trinity again.
"Okay," Trinity said still pouting.
"Shut up Trinity, stop stropping," Sam snapped. Trinity rolled her eyes.
"Hazel, we never told you about us did we?" Sam said ignoring her sister. I shook my head.

"Well, I suffer really bad anxiety. It used to be to the point where I'd have to go to A&E because I couldn't cope. But coming to this place really helps me. And Sam here suffers with stress, we get it from our mum. She's a real stress pot, she's been to hospital so many times because of it. So much so, she had to quit her job. She was a teacher and that didn't help her. Anyway that's our story," Trinity chuckled.
"I'm sorry," I said, staring at the ground.
"It's okay, I'm sorry about your story earlier," Trinity said.
"Anyway, what do you like to do?" Sam asked. I chuckled and said, "Not much really, I love music."
"Cool, what do you play?" Trinity asked,
"Piano, ukulele, guitar and clarinet. Do you play anything?" I asked.
"Woah, I play guitar but I'm not good. What bands do you like?" Sam asked.
"Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, Twenty One Pilots, My Chemical Romance, Bring Me The Horizon and Muse," I mumbled.
"No way! I love all of them," Sam shouted. Trinity rolled her eyes and said,
"Ugh, don't get her started about bands."
"What music do you like?" I asked Trinity.
"I like anything modern," she proud announced.
"Ugh, modern music," Sam moaned. I laughed. I could tell me and Sam are going to be good friends. We continued to all talk and laugh.

About 3 minutes later, Dan walked in.
"Hey Haze, sorry I'm late. Phil was being a twat," he said as he approached us.
"What?" I laughed.
"I'll explain on the way home," he whispered.
I turned to Sam and Trinity to say goodbye, when I remembered about Sam.
"Oh yeah, Dan. This is Sam and Trinity. I met them at therapy," I told Dan.
"Hi," he said awkwardly waving. I could tell that something was wrong.
"I've got to go guys, see you next week," I said,
"Okay, oh Hazel here's our numbers," Sam said writing on my hand.
"Thank you, I'll text you," I said as I left with Dan.

***
We left the building when I turned to Dan. He looked sad.
"Dan, are you okay?" I asked, moving closer to him.
"Not really, me and Phil had an argument," he sighed.
"How bad was it?" I asked,
"Really bad," he added.
"I got mad, he got mad. And then I stormed out to get you," he told me.
"I know it's none of my business, but wanna talk about it?" I asked. He smiled and said
"You're so polite Hazel, and yeah sure."
We passed a little café,
"Wanna get a coffee?" I asked, getting a £10 note out my pocket.
He nodded and we headed in.
