When Perrie woke up the next morning, she realized that she didn't write much on her English essay the other day and decided this has to be done today. She already finished describing Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco and today she decided it's time for the rest of the Weasley family to be psychologically dismantled. Before doing that, she checked her phone and saw a new message.

LeeighAA: Hello :)

Perrie would love to answer her but she knew she wouldn't be able to concentrate on her essay and most likely would end up chatting and not focusing on school. She put her phone away and got to work.

Few hours later, just when she finished last sentence of describing Fred, Jade knocked at her closed door.
„Come in!" Perrie shouted and Jade stepped in immediately. Perrie looked at her friend who was carrying a photo album and sat with it on her bed.
„What is it?"
„What do you think, dummy? A photo album, what else?" Jade raised one eyebrow up and gestured Perrie to sit next to her. Perrie did so and sat next to her roommate. Jade opened the album and pointed at one photo.
„Do you remember these people?" Jade asked and Perrie looked at their faces.
„Some of them. This is Alice, we used to be friends until we went to different high schools, next to her is Louis, who once tried to kiss me and we never spoke since, this tall one is Jesy, she goes to my classes here and that's it. I don't remember the others. Why?" Perrie asked, confused why did Jade want to know such thing. Jade looked like she was searching for the right words.
„Well, this Jesy girl.. She asked me out," she finally answered.
„Girl, that's amazing! Do you want to go?" Perrie asked, suddenly not being sure if Jade fancies girls at all.
„I don't know. It's complicated. I know her since we were born, basically. Wouldn't it be weird, if we dated?" Jade looked at her blonde friend with question marks in her eyes. Perrie thought about it for a moment and then shook her head.
„Why would it be weird? This happens all the time. You know someone your whole life and don't even realise they're the right person for you. Maybe Jesy is the one for you. Sometimes you look at people as your friends and then one day you look at them in this new light. If I were you, girl, I would go for it. Jesy is nice and hot and so are you," Perrie winked at Jade and went back to her English essay.
„Alright, I will go out with her, then. Now, what about you? It's been a long time since I came home and someone random was laying next to you," Jade smiled and Perrie looked at her.
„If you miss those days, I can bring it back­— just for you!" Perrie laughed at Jade's disgusted face.
Jade never really understood why Perrie was into one night stands. She was that type of girl, who dreamt about finding the one true love and never letting it go. She honestly believed her first, and only, boyfriend was going to become her husband and the father of her children but eventually it didn't happen. Jade found out he's been cheating on her basically since they got together. It's been almost two months since they broke up but Jade wasn't still quite over it.
„Hey Jade, would you like to get ice cream with me?" Perrie asked her friend and Jade nodded after a few moments of thinking if she's free today.
„Sure, why not," Jade smiled at Perrie and left to get ready. Perrie stretched her back and picked up her phone. She decided to finally text back.

pezed93: Hi, sorry I've been busy :)
LeeighAA: It's alright, what've you been doing?
pezed93: School work.
LeeighAA: You still go to school?
pezed93: Yea, there's nothing more valuable than education. My mom would always tell me this when I was fed up with school, so I guess that gave me the feeling I want to spend my life studying, haha.
LeeighAA: That's cool. I'm working. After I finished high school I promised myself I will never get back to school.
pezed93: I couldn't do this. I'm too scared to have responsibility
LeeighAA: You are afraid of responsibility?
pezed93: Not in everything, just working and adult stuff.
LeeighAA: What about relationships?

Perrie didn't know what to answer. Be honest or lie to be likeable? She decided to be honest, but not completely.

pezed93: I don't really do relationships.
LeeighAA: Oh, I see.
pezed93: Hey, I'm sorry but I have to go again. See ya later?
LeeighAA: Sure :) What's your name btw?
pezed93: Perrie.
LeeighAA: I'm Leigh-Anne but people call me only Leigh.
pezed93: Okay, Leigh. See ya later ;)
LeeighAA: See ya, Perrie :)

Perrie locked the door while Jade was trying to tie her shoes. Perrie looked at her and with smile got on her knees to help her friend.
„Thank you," Jade mumbled, visibly embarrassed. Perrie flicked her hair.
„It's okay, you've never been good in tying your shoes. I'm sure many people have problems with that," she quickly added when she saw Jade's expression. Of course everyone learned how to tie their shoes and Perrie knew it as well as Jade but this was Perrie trying to cheer her friend up. She would do anything for her tiny best friend and she wanted to make sure Jade knows.
„I love you, you know? Let's make an agreement. If we're both single when we're 40, we'll get married. Okay?" Perrie looked at Jade who seemed flattered but was trying to hide it.
„Okay," she answered after a while.
„Good, now let's get going," Perrie grabbed Jade's hand and they walked to get some ice cream.

„I want chocolate and vanilla swirl and.. what for you Jadey?" Perrie turned to Jade who was still picking a flavour.
„Strawberry, please," Jade smiled at the cashier.
„Here it is and it's £10," the cashier said, handing them their ice creams. Perrie gave him ten pounds and walked out of the café, Jade following her.
„Wait!" somebody shouted behind their back. Jade quickly turned around and saw two boys running in their direction.
„Can we help you?" Perrie asked as she checked them both out. One of the boys was tall, had dark blonde hair, to his shoulders, and big blue eyes. His body was quite masculine unlike his friend's. The other boy was shorter and muscles looked like he started going to gym two weeks ago. His face was really pretty though and he had short brown hair and dark chocolate eyes.
„We see you got ice cream but we were wondering if we could invite you for some coffee?" the blonde guy asked, looking at Perrie since the moment she turned to them. Perrie and Jade exchanged glances and then Jade nodded.
„Sure, let's go," Perrie confirmed.
„What are your names?" the shorter boy asked. Jade and Perrie introduced themselves.
„I'm Jack and this is my friend Colton," said the blonde one and pointed at Colton who smiled nervously.
„Good.. Really good," Perrie whispered only for Jade to hear when they followed the boys back into the café they just left. Jade was blushing and smiling a little. Perrie thought this was a great way to make her friend forget about her stupid ex.

enjoy :)
