Zoe's pov

Oh no! Why me, why now? I know Jack Harries has a crush on me. He doesn't know about me and Alfie. "Hi!" I say enthusiastically.

"Hey! How are you?" He asks.

"I'm good, you?" I respond, maybe this will be a quick little chat. Alfie decided to wait for me, he was standing off to the side.

"I haven't seen you in a while! We should catch up!" Jack says. Oh no, exactly what I didn't want.

"Yea! Defiantly." I say gritting my teeth.

"Oh, um hi Alfie." Jack says.

"Hi!" Alfie says back.

"Do, you mind?" Jack says. Did he actually just say that?! I look at Alfie, he looks a little annoyed.

"No problem." Alfie says, I can tell he did not like Jack. Alfie started to walk away. I didn't want him to. I wanted Jack to walk away, not Alfie! The doors to the stairwell shut as I was left alone with Jack.

Alfies pov

I walk out the door of the stairwell without Zoe, Jack had bumped into us on the stairwell and asked for privacy for him and Zoe. I knew jack liked Zoe. I wasn't happy about this. I know Zoe though, she loves me not him. I hope. I go to the buffet and spot Casper with a plate full of food. I walk up to him.

"Hey you alright, you look sad." Casper asks. Louise was right next to him so I didn't tell him the truth.

"Yea I'm fine, thanks." I sigh.

"Where's Zoe?" Louise asks.

"We saw Jack in the stairwell and he started talking to Zoe, I think they are still talking now." I reply. Casper understands what's wrong now.

"Yessssss!" Louise says.

"What?" I ask.

"I want Zoe and Jack to be together, Jack likes Zoe and Zoe is single!" Louise says. I didn't realize she wanted this?!! I'm surprised!

"What??" I ask again.

"They are perfect, zack, their ship name!" Louise responds smiling. I'm still shocked.

"No I don't think Jack and Zoe should be together." Casper butts in. I had a feeling he was standing up for me.

"Why?" Louise asks.

"Umm, well, maybe Zoe isn't single." Casper studded he didn't know what else to say. I glare at him.

"What do you mean? Do you know something I don't?" Louise asks confused.

"Uh, n--no." Casper says. His face turns red.

"Are you and Zoe together?!" Louise asks. I start laughing, Casper does too.

"Hahahahhaha, no I can defiantly say Zoe and I aren't together!" Casper laughs.

"Yea, imagine Zoe and Casper together though." I laugh. Louise starts to smile, she lets out a little giggle. With all the tension between us we start to get out of control, Louise has dropped to the ground and people are staring at us. I find myself and calm down. Now both Casper and I are staring at a hysterical Louise rolling around on the floor uncontrollably laughing. I give her a hand as she calms herself and I help her up. It wasn't even that funny we all got caught in the moment I guess. People still staring at us Casper and Louise grabs their trays and we find a table. We are used to staring, we are youtubers. We chat while Louise and Casper eat. Casper goes to get seconds, before we know it we were there for an hour and a half. Zoe still hasn't come to join us. I'm getting a little worried.

"Hey, Zoe's still not back should we go check on her?" I suggest.

"Yea--" Casper stars but Louise interrupts.

"No, guys we can't interrupt..." she says with a smirk on her face. I don't even want to I,shine what she means. It's already 5 and we all have a dinner at 7:30 for everyone. I hope Zoe's back by then.

"Come on guys, lets go back to our room." Casper suggests. You know in front of a camera Casper is really goofy and silly, but in reality he's one of the most caring guys I know.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We have to at the place in 45 minutes?! I need to go get ready! Bye!" Louise yells rushing out the door.

"Hey wait Louise? Can you text me if Zoe is there-- I uh wanna tell her something funny!" I say quickly before she runs off.

"Yep, sure, bye." Louise says slamming the door behind her.

"Mate, I'm sure Zoe's not gonna get together with jack, she loves you, she probably is just being nice." Casper comforts me. I give him a weak smile.

"Yea, maybe?" I say softly. I grab a shirt and pants from my suit case and get changed ready for dinner. Once I'm done I rush over to my phone checking for a message from Louise. Nothing. I decide to text Louise.

Hey, so Zoe's not back yet?

I wait for a response. 1 minute. 3 minutes. 5 minutes. 6 minutes.

Oh, she's back, I forgot to text u sorry, we are rushing, gtg bye.

Oh thank god. I thought Zoe was going to miss the dinner, or even worse, fall for jack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Louise, Casper, Zoe and I are all walking to the restaurant together. Zoe kept on trying to look at me but I kept my head down. She would walk slower, I would walk faster. I just didn't feel like talking to her right now.

We arrived, a bunch of people were already there, including jack and Finn. They had just arrived too. We went to go take our seats. I was about to sit next to Zoe when jack came and took the spot next to her.

"Hey mate sorry, hope you don't mind." He says to me. Then turns to Zoe. I give him a fake sarcastic smile. There was already someone else on the other side of Zoe so I went and sat next to Casper and Louise. The last thing I wanted was to sit next to jack.

After everyone arrived and we all had drinks we started to talk. We were asked all the new ideas we had, collaborations we should do. Everything involving YouTube (and some other things too). Zoe started to say some ideas that all the beauty gurus could do, like a big beauty collaboration, she has her hand set on the table and jack took his hand over Zoe's. That was enough. I stood up and left. I could hear mummers of everyone talking behind me.

"Oh, don't worry he just needed to toilet." Casper say, I love Casper so much right now. I walk into the men's toilets. I lean against the wall. I feel like crying but I don't. All of a sudden I'm not sure what came over me but I punched the wall. My fingers started bleeding but I didn't care. I hated jack so much. I heard foot steps coming so I jumped into a stall.

"Alfie?" It was Zoe, what was she doing in the men's toilets?
