Four Girls One Boy

Kaylas day

Once I found out Kendall wasn't ill and skipped class with a boy, I had to confront her. Who would she skip with?? Why would she?? The only boys I know she's friendly with is Finn, jake and Louis. Finn wouldn't skip neither would jake. So it was probably Louis.

Me: Oioi! Why you leave me?!?
Kendall: omg sorry, I forgot I had pretty much all day with you.
Me: sure..
Kendall: I actually did.
Me: who with anyway? Did you go on a date?????????
Kendall: NO! He's just a friend...
Me: Louis?....
Kendall: maybe, maybe not
Me: aww. Why not? Pretty please with sugar on top?
Kendall: okay maybe a boy was involved
Me: OMG WHAT HAPPENED?....
Kendall: nothing tbh. I have to go, mums calling me.
Me: okay... Bye

Who would she skip with? Surly it couldn't be Seth or Kendall would've said something sooner. I saw my phone light up with a text message. Probably Kate with the latest gossip. I unlock my phone to see it was an unknown number. I don't usually respond to unknown numbers but u was curious.

Unknown number: hey, sorry it took me this long to text (I never leave a girl waiting for four days) but I was going to ask if you have plans for this Saturday? I was thinking maybe a picnic?  I mean if you're not busy or anything. But I hope we can go coz I would love to get to know you more.
Seth xx

Oh. My. God.

Did he really just ask me out? I had to re-read that text like another hundred times before it finally sunk in. I changed his ID to Seth (obviously) and then texted him back.

Me: hi! Don't worry, it's fine but I don't think I do so I'm free. I think it would be great to have a picnic. Should I bring anything? Blankets, food, drinks??
Seth: no just your beautiful self  also are you allergic to anything? Don't like a particular food?
Me: aww, stop I'm not allergic to anything that I know of but I don't really like pickles or apples. Why..
Seth: ok, don't worry you'll see on Saturday  bye gorgeous

Did he just call me gorgeous?!?
Again I read and re-read until it sunk in. I kayla Maisie Jenkinson just got asked out by the fittest boy in the school. I couldn't believe it.

Me: thanks ☺️

I get interrupted my my trance with I hear gentle knocks on my door. "Yep" I say looking at the door waiting for them to come in. It was Rosie.

She came in and sat down on my bed in the same spot Anna did. "What's up?" I twist my body and look at her. She sighs and looks up at me with her light blue eyes watery but not yet crying. The same look Anna had. "You alright?" I ask.

She looks back down letting her long, down hair hang over her face. She cups her face in her hands and sobs weakly. "Oi Oi oi" I say and give her a hug. She hugs me much tighter than Anna did.

"It's....just..." She says between deep, sobbing breaths. She wipes her eyes and looks back to me "I...... miss mum so...... bad...." Jut the word mum makes my (unlike hers) brown eyes water.

My dad left when my sisters was born as he couldn't cope. So mum raised us by herself which was hard work with Anna and Rosie. I on the other hand (who was only three) would help out as well as my nan.

I would help peg out the washing, help wash up, make myself breakfast and would always be there if mum was upset and so would she. When I was six, Anna and Rosie three, she died from a brain tumour. Me only six, I wasn't sure what was going on but my nan stepped in and looked after us. I was much more independent from then on and I do most things for myself.

My nan don't mind what I do (not saying it's bad parenting but she knows I would never do anything bad) as I am sixteen.

I heard my door open again and looked. It was Anna. "What's wrong?" She walked over to us and sits behind me and I turn to the middle so I can see both of them. "Soo..." She asked still curious. "Miss..... mum" says Rosie. I see her eyes water aswell so I pull both of them in to my sides and we all cry rather quietly. My nan doesn't like seeing us cry (obviously) but especially when it's about mum.
Once we stop, I turn on my TV and I put on Jurassic park as we all love the original one.

"Dinner!" I hear nan call out softly but loudly. "Okay" I call back down and turn the TV off. The girls walk out my room and I was about to do the same when my phone vibrates.

I quickly glance at it before I walk out.

Kendall (sent to Kate, Alison and 48 others) Hey all! I'm throwing a party in a few weeks for my seventeenth so I was wondering if you wanted to come? Roughly 8-11pm. At my house. Dates to be confirmed.
