My Chance - The Vamps fanfiction

Chapter 7

"Elle smell wake up," I heard someone say, no one had called me that before so I couldn't think who it could be. I groaned and rolled over. I opened my eyes and saw Tristan and Brad standing over me.

"Why are you always here?" I mumbled closing my eyes again.

"I told you, we practically live here," Tristan jumped up and down on the sofa which I had fallen asleep on last night. I gave in and got up.

"You woke me up, I hate you," I told them but it didn't take long before they were laughing hysterically. "What are you laughing at?"

"Your face!" Brad gasped. I felt my eyes grow wide as I realised what they must have done. I got up and ran into the bathroom, my face was covered in pen.

"I'll get you for this," I shouted at them whilst trying to wash the pen off my face.

"Good luck with that! We're going now, see you tomorrow Elle," Brad called over too me.

"You only came over here so you could draw on my face?" I asked raising an eyebrow at them.

"No, we came to get my drumsticks but when we saw you sleeping we couldn't resist." Tris smirked. They left the house leaving me alone, I needed to do some revision so I headed up to my room and started revising for my History exam.

**************************************************************

I woke up to the sound of the shower running, I looked at the time and jumped out of bed. I had just over an hour to get ready for my exam, I needed to shower first though but that involved waiting for it to be free. I packed my History books and a couple of pens seeing as I wouldn't need anything else.

The shower stopped and I got my school uniform ready for when I was out. Connor walked out of the bathroom and into his bedroom, I quickly had a shower and got dressed. I decided to leave my hair natural as it curled into ringlets at the bottom. I applied some mascara and picked up my stuff.

"You ready Con?" I shouted through his bedroom door.

"Yeah, I'll be downstairs in a second," he called back. I was beginning to get nervous, I walked slowly down the stairs and dad was waiting for me at the bottom.

"Don't worry sweetly, you'll be fine," he said pulling me into a hug. I didn't usually have panic attacks before my exams but today was different for some reason. My heart was pounding in my chest and I started to hyperventilate.

"Elle, you need to calm down, I know it's stressful but you'll do as amazingly as usual," dad said rubbing my back trying to calm me down, after a few seconds my breathing returned to normal and my heart started to slow down.

Connor walked down the stairs and we walked out of the front door and towards the door. I wasn't in the mood for talking today, I recited important dates and events in my head over and over again.

The school gates were just ahead of us when I stopped in my tracks. Connor turned to face me but I held my hand up to stop him from saying anything, I needed some time to gather my thoughts before I went to do the exam. I started walking again and Connor followed me into school, I was ready to do the exam now. I saw Brad and Tristan waiting at the entrance to the school.

"Good morning Elle Smell," Tristan greeted me, he didn't seem as happy as he was at the weekend.

"Morning," I said, my hands were shaking with nervousness.

"What's up?" Brad pointed to my hands, he must have noticed how scared I was.

"I have a history exam in 10 minutes," I told him.
