“CHERYL!...CHERYL!!!” *Knock knock knock* “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!"

Cheryl groaned as she opened her eyes, having being woken up by Lily shouting. “What?” she whined, pulling the sheets up to her face and snuggling into her pillow.

“Our car has been here for 5 minutes already! We need to go!” Lily called back, frustrated. She hated when things didn't go to plan and especially when they didn't keep to timings.

Cheryl rolled over, looking for her phone which had fallen onto the floor. “AH CRAP!” she screamed when she seen that the time was 6.45am and she was due to start rehearsing at the studio at 7! She had fallen asleep without setting her alarm after talking to Tre.

“I'm coming, I'm coming...just a minute Lils...I’m so sorry, my alarm didn't go off” she fibbed, not wanting to admit that she had in fact not set the alarm in the first place. She frantically grabbed some purple jogging bottoms, a luminous orange sports bra and a plain white, loose fitting vest top, quickly getting changed and pinning some of her long, wavy brown hair back so that it wouldn't be in her face while she was dancing. 

5 minutes later, Cheryl ran out of the villa and climbed into the waiting car which contained a very bemused Lily England. “Please don’t tell me off” Cheryl quietly mumbled, sticking her bottom lip out and giving Lily her best puppy dog eyes.

“That doesn't work on me anymore Chez!” she frowned, folding her arms as the car finally pulled away. “The guys yesterday might have found it cute, but I've seen it far too many times” Lily kept a straight face, not wanting to let on to Cheryl that she didn't really mind that much, they would still get to the studio on time...just! 

The girls remained silent for quite a while as Cheryl just watched out of her window, still feeling quite tired having just been woken up from a very deep sleep. “By the way, who were you texting last night? I kept hearing your phone going off every 5 minutes” Lily eventually asked, breaking the silence as the studio came into sight at the end of the road.

“Oh it was just Tre so that I would have his number” Cheryl responded, yawning slightly.

“What?...and he had to text you every 5 minutes just to make sure you got it?” Lily joked, trying to wind Cheryl up.

“We were just chatting, is that against the rules or something? God!” she snapped back, moodily.

“Chill out! Is it your time of the month or something? I was only messing with you, I know you're only trying to get to know them all” Lily answered back, sensing Cheryl wasn't in the mood to be wound up right now. “Someone got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning” she muttered quietly under her breath as Cheryl's frown lines deepened.

As the car finally pulled up, Cheryl jumped out and stormed straight into the studio, not waiting for Lily like she normally would have done. “Well this is going to be fun” Lily groaned sarcastically to herself, following Cheryl into the building.

As Cheryl made her way towards the dancing studio she was going to be using, she could hear the familiar American accents echoing from the room at the end of the corridor. “No messing around today boys, we've got so much to do, it isn't even funny!” she then heard Beth shout as she entered the studio. “Ahh you're here!...7 'o' clock on the dot as well” Beth cheerfully announced, spotting Cheryl in the mirror which covered the entire back wall of the studio. Cheryl took a mock bow and made her way over to the corner where the dancers were doing stretches and warming up. 

“Hey Cheryl!” Mark called as she walked towards them, making the other dancers also look up, greeting her enthusiastically. “You ready for a day full of dancing fun?”
