Finding Friends

8: The Morning After

I woke up laying on the sofa with Tiana cradelled in my arms. 

I checked the time 6:32, my mental clock was getting pretty accurate. 

I got up carefully trying not to wake Tiana. I walked upstairs to the bathroom and washed my face. 

I put on a white lacey top and a black skirt, I popped a cardigan in my bag in case it got cooler outside. 

I then got a smoothie ready, strawberry, blueberry , banana, pomegranate seeds and rasperries. I got some porridge oats. Put them in hot water and stirred. I added greek yoghurt and bluberries on top. 

It took a good 15 minutes to finish it.

I then said goodbye to Mum and Dad and set off on my half an hour journey to school. 

I got to school at 8am and noticed Will and Felicity sitting in the corner, they looked refreshed and wide awake which was a good sign. 

About 10 minutes later Elliot walked in with his scruffy chocolate hair not even touched, his shirt untucked and his trousers rolled up at one ankle. He was an absoulute mess. 

"What happened last night?" He asked us. 

Felicity and Will both looked at me to explain. 

"Well, you came with us, dissapeared upstairs with Dottie came back downstairs with Dottie a good half hour later and then snogged her for the rest of the night, we left at about eight, without you." I replied. 

"It's not looking good for you" Felicity added. 

At that moment Will stood up, rolled Elliot's trouser leg down, made his hair look a little less awful and tucked his shirt in. 

Me and Elliot left for Law 5 minutes earlier than usual, because I knew by the pace he was walking, he would need it. 

Elliot was constantly apologising for holding me up but honestly I didn'tcare, as long as Dottie didn't take ownership of him, meaning no time for his actual friends. 

We got there and Dottie wasn't there neither was Bella. 

Elliot looked happy? 

"What's the matter, you in love with her last night" I said

"I want to forget about it really, and my unusual behaviour was a side-effect of something called drinking." He chuckled. 

We went in a few minutes later nd he pulled out a chair for me. 

I think I was falling for Elliot.
