I woke up, blurry eyed. I was in my room. It looked like it was dark outside. My curtains were drawn.
I saw my hair was in its natural blonde waves to around my elbows.

I felt a hot water bottle by my stomach. A note was on the table with a bell next to it.

Hey, Zara. When you wake up please ring this bell plz. Z xx

I range the bell. I heard footsteps and Zoe slowly entered the room.

"Hey, sweetie." She said.

"Hey, Zoe." I said, confused. It felt raspy when I spoke.

"Do you remember what happened?" She asked.

"I remember throwing the party for Ariana and then falling asleep and hearing whispers about pranking but I didn't know t was to me. I was so tired. I then remember being pranked by Joe, who shook me awake, scaring me. Then Caspar throwing cold icy water with ice in on me, soaking me. The ice really hurt and I was so cold and couldn't I couldn't breath and then I felt someone's arms around me and then it went black." I explained.

"Yes. That's what happened. Oh, honey, I'm so sorry!" Zoe cried, " I didn't want to wake you, I did let them shock you, just as Joe's normal pranks so I thought gay couldn't hurt but then Caspar threw that freezing cold water over you! You had a panic attack! The rest of us were just going to shock you, never throw it on you! Caspar got the ice anyway, not us! We didn't want to wake you so we got a doctor to come here a few hours ago."

I gasped. Why would Caspar do that? Maybe he thought it wouldn't do this? I don't know. I'm so confused!

"W-what do the doctor say?" I asked.

"He said that it was stupid for the ice and water to hit you. He also said you may feel soar. Also that places where the hard ice hit you may hurt for a few days. You'll be ok high. Hopefully you'll be fine tomorrow." Zoe said.

"Ok." I croaked.

She paused.

"I'm really not happy with Caspar right now. He didn't say sorry and walked out, saying rude things about you and saying that it was stupid of you to have a panic attack, like you could've helped it!" Zoe said, angrily.

"Oh."

I hugged Zoe.

"Thank you so much for being here for me." I said

"I think it's more the other way round." Zoe said, smiling.

"We've both been there always for each other," I said. We both smiled.

Zoe explained that Ariana, Jade and Becky went home and that Alfie had to go to Spain to meet some viewers until Christmas Eve but Joe is here with us and that he is worried about me and feels bad, even though he didn't do anything wrong. She also said that he is staying here until after Christmas because he doesn't want to see Caspar and he wants to make sure I'm ok and it's convenient. Joe is so caring and the best uncle ever. I honk the opposite for Caspar.

"Well done, Zara. 100% again." My English teacher said, handing me back my test. It was Tuesday and school.

"Thank you!" I said, chuffed.

Although school was sort of a distraction for what happened on Saturday, I can't stop thinking about what Caspar did...

After school on Thursday, I set off walking home, my headphones in. It took about 15 minutes home.

Cause the players' gonna play play play play play

And the haters' gonna hate hate hate hate

Baby I'm just gonna shake shake shake shake shake

Shake it off, shake it off

I hummed along to the song as I walked past a man. Hang on.

I could've sworn that was Caspar! That blonde hair. Those eyes. But he disappeared down an alley way. What is his problem?!

I sighed and walked back home. At least there was only one day left until the Christmas holidays, where Zoe said there was a surprise!

Poor Zara. Will she ever forgive Caspar? Is there a reason for what he did? - and what's Zalfie's Christmas surprise?! Next chapter is Christmas Eve, which is exciting! Thanks, as always, for reading! Gonna try and post once a day or every two days hopefully and this chapter length, although today there will be three updates at the least 😃
