My alam clock went of at its usual time of 6:30am, I was described as 'the sloth' by my parents and sisters so it quickly spread to my friends occasionally calling my it too. I was only called this though because one; I love sleeping more than your average seventeen year old and two; I would much rather sit on my sofa eating Nutella sandwiches, watch horror films and listen to music than do something that involves: other people, fresh air, hills, no food, no internet and worst of all no music.
My music taste was completely varied, I would happily sit and watch 'Oliver' and sing along to all of the songs just as much as I would like to sit and listen to Kerrang or Chart Shows. My favourite singers though, are: Lewis Watson, Gabrielle Aplin, Nina Nesbitt, Ben Harvey and Jake Bugg. And my favourite bands are: All Time Low, Bring Me The Horizon, 5 Seconds Of Summer, Blink-182, Green Day, Sum 41, Meadowlark, My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, All American Rejects and, obviously, The Vamps!
I looked at the clock which was hung lamely on my wall and realised that it already said it was seven! I quickly got changed into my running clothes and pulled on my shoes just as Rhona pulled up my drive, she's eighteen and is the only person in my team (except from my coaches Ross and Cameron) who can drive. I ran out of my front door almost forgetting to lock it and onto the last empty seat in her tiny Ford. I felt someone tap my shoulder and I turned around, it was Matthew Duncan. He had been obsessed with me ever since I started swimming. This usual ten minute drive was going to feel a lot longer.
By the time we had reached the car park I was just about ready to murder someone, and I think that Cara and Rhona could tell that too. I jumped out of the car and ran over to what looked like Ross' car. Luckily it was him and as soon as I came over he got out and casually walked over to me.
"Are you ready for this Grace?" He asked me
"No, not at all! You know I hate running so shut up!" I said to him rolling my eyes
Ross was only about 20 so we didn't have much of an age difference, which meant we were quite close. He looked behind me and noticed Matthew.
"Oh so that's why you came over here," He smiled and then started laughing
"Yes, yes it was! Now can we run or not!" I said to him crossing my arms over my chest in a huff
"Yes we can." He grinned "Everyone, come over here now!" He boomed, making all of the younger swimmers, and their parents jump.
Quickly everyone ran over to him and we stood and listened while he showed us our route on a map. Out route this week was going straight passed the caravan park, where the boys were staying, shit! Just my luck.
We set of whilst I was still panicking, I was at the front of the group; as usual. But everyone else wasn't too far behind, soon I forgot about the boys and I just ran as I normaly would. After half an hour of running I felt myself beginning to sweat, just as we were passing the caravan park. It wasn't just my squad that were running today, no it was all of the competitive squads. There were the older ones (my age and a bit older) down to the younger ones (around eleven or twelve), suddenly one of the girls, Rhiannon, screamed.
"OH MY GOD IS THAT CONNOR BALL FROM THE VAMPS?" Everyone stopped and looked at the boy wrapped in a towel coming out of the shower block that she was pointing at. Oh no, it actually was.
"OH MY GOD I THINK IT IS, CONNOR! CONNOR! CONNOR!" Ella, her friend shouted
He looked over after hearing them, well I think you could hear them in Manchester considering how loudly they were shouting, and waved at them. He scanned his gaze across the group of us and I tried so hard not to make eye contact at him but I felt someone looking at me. He had seen me.
He shouted "Brad, James, Tris! Look who I've just found!" He was laughing and waving at me I did the same back, I felt all of the girls stare at me.
Brad stumbled out of a caravan first in his monkey onesie, he saw me, waved and called behind him go Tris and Janes. Once they came out too they shouted at me to come over, I really didn't want to, I really didn't but I grabbed Ella and Rhiannon's arms and took them with me.
"Hey gurl." Smiled Con as he hugged me.
"Hey boys," I said as pulled away, not wanting to hug him in the sate I was in "this is Rhiannon and this, is Ella." I said pointing too them
"I guess your fans then?" Brad asked them
"Y-y-yeh, we love you so much!" Replied Ella smiling at Rhiannon, then me and then back at the boys
"We never knew that you know them!" Rhiannon said to me
"I didn't know them until two days ago and I didn't know you knew who they were so I wasn't just going to announce it!" I said to them laughing
"She's our babe." Said Tris laughing putting his arm around
"Okay, okay that's enough guys." I said pushing Tris' arm off my shoulders
"Can we get a photo with yous?" Rhiannon asked shyly
"Yeh sure!" Replied Con grinning
"Here, take my phone." Rhiannon said taking her phone out of her shorts and handing it to me
"Okay smile!" I said taking a picture of them, I took another one if them with the boys pulling their 'derp' faces
"Thank you so much!" Ella said
"No problem!" Replied Brad
"See you later Grace!" The boys shouted simultaneously as we began walking back towards the rest of our group
"Oh my god that's so cool! I can't believe we just met The Vamps!" Ella said
"Thank you so much Grace!" Rhiannon said to me giving me a little hug
"Aha no problem!" I replied, Rhiannon and Ella were about fifteen, I had never really spoken to them much before though but they seemed like really nice girls! Oh well that wasn't too bad, hopefully they wouldn't remember how sweaty I was when we go out this afternoon though!
*Authors Note*
I know this chapter doesn't have much with the boys but the next one should have lots more! Thanks for reading guys!
