The bus pulled into the zoo, and we all got off, grabbing our bags from the department place under the bus. It took us a good 30mins to get everyone's stuff out and partnered with our partners. The tour guide girl goes through how the thing was going to work. We had to observe, discuss and sketch each animal we came across, we had exactly 2 hours to get all the animals drawn and written in our sketchbooks before we have to get back to this place and drive off back to school so we would be able to go home on time.

"oh my god look at this little guy" I smiled looking at the baby sloth holding onto its mum who was sleeping, I mean of course they're sleeping, they're sloths. I heard Mason's pencil sketch onto his book, already, so I started drawing the sloth myself, animals were so much fun drawing!

"let's move on" Mason says smiling at me, "sure" I smiled back. Me and Mason were both head in our sketchbooks, not watching where we were going. I was walking sketching in the last details of the sloth's face, when I bump into someone, my first instinct was to say "sorry" then I realised it was Hannah and, well, all hell broke loose, "watch where you're going slut", "sorry you were just to small I couldn't see you, oh wait I just wanted to step on your face" I growled, "what did you just say?!" she hissed bawling up her fists and swinging it up, Brittany ran to her side and raised up her hand to defend me, at the same time Mason did the same.

They both looked at each other for a moment but then shook it off and looked directly at Hannah, "come on" Brittany said linking her arm into Hannah's and dragging her away. Brittany turned around miming out sorry and walked away, "she's such a bitch" Mason muttered, "I don't understand what went through me when I dated her, I should've dumped her long ago" He muttered again, I pretended to ignore that and walk of towards the elephants.

I unlocked my locker and stuffed all the homework into my bag, "tomorrow is the 18th and Friday is 21st" I murmur to myself. "are you free Friday afternoon" I heard Cacey said, the plan is officially starting, "uh yea, why" I heard Abril say, "just meet us here" Cacey said, I was assuming she was showing the address, I pulled out my phone and texted Mason,

 3:22pm Tatiana - we're on a roll, get talking to Caleb

I look over to the corner of my locker and see Mason drag Caleb out, he looked up at me and nodded. Well lets hope everything is good. I pulled my bag over my shoulder and walked to the bathroom. I opened the cubicle and sat down, pulling out my phone and ipad, decorations right. We I mean like the whole group put in money for decorations. I turn on my ipad and look through Ikea for nice lights.

briing briiinngg briiinnggg, "hi Tats!"Anne said, "hey I kind of need help on decorations for you know Abril" I said lowering my voice hearing people come into the toilet, "I've got it all sorted don't worry just meet me there tonight" she giggled in the phone, "god thank you! You bloody legend"  I laughed, "alright see you" she laughed. I shut off my phone and put everything into my bag. 

bing!  3:41pm Cacey - hey where are you?

3:42pm Tatiana - I'm coming right now.

I walked out of the bathroom to our quad, where I see Mason and Cacey standing next to each other discussing something. "hey sorry" I said, "no worries" Cace smiled, "so you got it all sorted?" Mason asked, "yep everything" I smiled, "damn" Mason grinned, "So did you talk to her?" I asked Cacey, "yea she's gonna be there, for sure." Cacey smiled, "and I got Caleb to spill" Mason grinned, "what did he say?" I asked, "he liked you, and I was about to punch him for that but then he said, that you were taken my me and seemed happier with me, but apparently deep inside Caleb's always had some weird feeling towards Abril and I think Friday is the day they'll bond" Mason smiled, "well Caleb's a bit complicated," Cacey stated, "what do you mean?" I asked, "it's complicated" she giggled. We all laughed and said our goodbyes, "by the way I'll be at your art studio tonight, is that alright?" 

"fine with me, and I'll be there" he winked walking off, "you don't have to it's just decorating and a lot of tuning and moving and dusting" I rambled, "I'll be there" he said again smirking, I shook my head and walked off to my car. 

I opened the car door and hop in, the smell of freshly vaccumed car made me smile. Weird I know right. I put the key in the ignition and drive off, turning on the radio and blasting it, praying to God that Abril will forgive me. 

"hey dad" I smiled giving my dad a big hug, "hey there, home a little late today" My dad said, "and you're early" I snapped back making my dad laugh. "Hey dad I've got to do a few things-", "yes I know honey just go." he said, "wait what?!" I said, "oh Mason called up and told me, what a nice kid he is" my dad smiled, "he's a keeper" my dad winked,I rolled my eyes and walked off to my room.

I took a quick shower, and got dressed into my jeans and jumper, slipping on my uggs and walking out to grab my bag and shoved homework that was dued tomorrow with my pen and some money just incase I got a little hungry on the way home.

"can you please move this over there" I said handing her the cello stand, "sure" Anne replies. "you guys doing alright?" Mason smiled, "yea great" I said looking at the piano strings to see if any were loose from the last time I touched it. "who knew Tatiana was this musical" Cacey said walking in with a muffin in her hand, I laughed, "and who knew you were athletic as hell" I laughed pushing the piano to the far right of the room. "here let me help with that" Mason said walking towards me and pushing the other side. "thanks" I smiled, "Done!" Anne yelled, we all looked up, since the garage had a really high ceiling, but Anne(somehow) managed to get on that ladder, climb around 10 meters above ground and hang lights. She was incredible.

"holy crap how did you" someone says from behind, "Tayla!" I shouted giving her a hug. "wait what the hell are you doing here" I said, Tayla laughed and pointed at Cacey, "what she said she was good at decorating" Cacey said with her hands in the air, "I mean the more the merrier right" Mason laughed, "would you guys hurry up and help me here" Anne yelled holding up a cable, "I'm coming" Mason said walking towards her.

"Doonnee!" I yelled, hanging up the last photo on the wall. "YYYEEESS" Anne screamed raising her fist in the air, guys it's 9:37pm," Tayla yelled looking at her phone, "SHOOT/SHIT" we all said in unison, "did you swear Tayla?" Cacey yelled, "NO IT WAS MASON!" she laughed. "I swear all the time!" Mason yelled, I slowly made my way to the door, "LAST ONE OUT OWES ME DINNER!" I screamed running to the door.
