"And then... Callum took me back to his room, and he's just bought this huge double bed and we..." Eva chatted away to me. "I really don't need to know what happened next Eva. I do have an imagination!"
Eva looked at me with big puppy eyes and pouted at me, "aw Eden you're no fun, I was getting to the good bit!"
A warm arm snaked it's way around my waist and I breathed in the familiar scent of Jake Everton.
"Hey babe," a deep voice growled in my ear, brushing his ever so slightly stubbly cheek against my own. "Hey" I whispered back, taking his hand in mine and giving it a gentle squeeze.
"Aw you guys are cute..." Eva giggled, giving us a huge cheesy grin. As Jake turned me around in his arms and placed an innocent good morning kiss on my lips Eva interrupted us, "okay you guys can quit it, this is just plain gross now!"
We laughed at her disgust and started discussing each of our plans for the weekend.
"My older sister has invited me to her and her fiancée's pre-marital party or whatever but it sounds one hundred percent gross! Like who gets married these days anyway?" Eva moaned. I gave her a gentle smile and encouraged, "I think you should go! I mean if I was getting married I'd want you to be there!"
Eva threw me a sarcastic smile and muttered, "yeah but you're not my sister, are you? I'm not going, end of, I just need an excuse!"

"Well me and Eden aren't doing anything this weekend so why don't we all do something?" Jake suggested, "reunite the Titely prank crew, eh?"
We all nodded in agreement and decided we could check out the nearest town but still sleep at the school, being as most teachers go home on weekends so we would pretty much have it to ourselves.
"Sick!" Jake exclaimed, "I'll double check its all okay with Callum and Luke in tutor and then we're sorted!"
I took a large gulp as a huge lump formed in my throat at the mention of Luke. It had been almost two weeks since the year seven trip and me and Luke had barely uttered a word to one another.
"You okay babe?" Jake questioned, "you look kinda pale." I nodded and hurried off to my dorm. This weekends going to be interesting!

The sun shone bright on the Saturday morning as myself and Eva stood waiting patiently outside the main boarding house for the three boys.
"Where are they?!" Eva groaned, "fifteen minutes late, FIFTEEN MINUTES!! This is it Eden, this is the end. We are simply going to overheat and boil and explode in this heat, we are actually going to die! I can't believe they... oh there they are," Eva ran off and jumped into Callum's arms.

"Umm guys," Luke raised his voice, "uh this is my... friend Charlotte, she's coming with us. I hope that's okay." He gave a lopsided grin and gesticulated towards a petite girl standing next to him. She had thin mousey brown hair that fell to her elbows and big pretty blue eyes. She didn't particularly have much figure but she wore tight ripped jeans and a tank top which suited her well. She wore light pink trainers and had her arm loosely linked through Luke's. She batted her dark eyelashes at Luke and whispered something something into his ear. Clearly trying to flirt.

I already hate her.

Jealously and hatred washed over me as I scowled at this intruder into our friendship group. 'How dare she try and chat up Luke when he is already... 'but then I remembered. I rejected him. I pushed him away. What gives me the right to be angry with him when I'm the reason he's having to move on.

We all loaded into Jake's huge estate car, Jake and Callum took the front, Luke and Charlotte took the back and me and Eva were squashed into the boot seats.
"I don't like her!" Eva exclaimed loudly. "Shhh," I whispered, "but me neither."
"Like who wears a tank top to go into town?" Eva muttered, I gesticulated towards myself, "I'm wearing a tank top to go into town!"
Eva looked me up and down and sighed, "yes... but you actually have boobs!"

Jake parked the car in a large five storey car park and joined us by the parking meters. "Uh... I don't have any change, does anyone...?"
Charlotte interrupted him and thrust several coins into Jakes hand, "here you go." She batted her eye lashes at him and followed him to the parking meter.
I scowled.
'Who does she think she is??'
The atmosphere was tense.
