Holiday planning

Cassie’s POV

The six of us walked down the stairs with an air of excitement. “Ok, what’s going on?” Louis asked. All of the guys had assembled at the table now. They seemed to be having a conversation of their own.

“We were talking.” Stef replied simply.

“About what?” He asked.

“I think you know already.” Stef continued. “And, I think that’s what you guys were talking about.”

“Well, I thought we should play a game.” Josh piped up. “Would you rather. You guys do know how to play right?”

We all looked at each other and laughed. Last time we played, it was ridiculous. “Yeah, we know how to play.” Sarah W answered. She went and sat down at the far end of the table. It really didn’t help that there were twelve of us, but only eight chairs. Stef snagged the seat at the head of the table. So us four left overs had nowhere to sit. Sarah and I grabbed the two bench chairs and dragged them to the table.

“Where are we supposed to sit?” Izzy asked, annoyed. I shrugged my shoulders, turning back to face the table.

“Anybody willing to share a seat?” Maryanne asked lamely. Of course Harry offered. “Anybody else?” Yes. Liam gave in.

So Izzy had to sit with Harry.

“I’ll start. Stef, would you rather go on a dream vacation for two weeks, or spend five days with anyone of your choice, but had to stay in Melbourne?” Sarah W asked Stef.

“I would rather spend five days with my chosen person in Melbourne.” Stef answered, looking only at Sarah W. “My turn. Cassie, would you rather be friend-zoned by your crush or have your best friend fall in love with you?”

I paused, thinking. “Best friend being a guy?” I asked.

“Yup.” Stef replied.

“Hmm, well I supposed the first.”

“Why?” They all asked.

“Because it’s gonna happen to everyone. So I’d rather it happen sooner rather than later.” I explained. “Sarah.” I said, looking over at her. “Would you rather find true love or have ten million dollars?”

“Money can’t buy happiness.” She stated. “I’d rather find true love.”

Sarah’s POV

It was just after three when we finished playing. So we decided to give them all a tour of our huge apartment, and only three of us lived here. Originally it was two different apartments, but the people on the top floor left it for us when they moved away and we renovated it. Just as we were going upstairs, my phone rang. “Excuse me, a moment.” I turned and walked back down and stood out in the front room. “Hello?”

“Hey, I thought we could catch up sometime on the holidays.” It was my cousin, Evie, she was only about ten.

“Since when did you have a phone, and my number?” I asked, surprised as I sat down on the couch.

“Since my mum told me. Can we please meet up at your place on the holidays?” She begged.

“I’ll have to ask my friends-” I began.

“But they love me! They think Zan and I are the cutest things, please?”

“Ok, I’ll ask. I’ll text you back when I have the answer, ok?” I offered.

“Ok. But can’t we talk a little longer?”

“Not now, I have guests over.”

“Boys?” She asked.
