*beep beep*

I rolled over to turn my phone alarm off and looked at the time, 8:30am... Too early, I looked at my phone again to see I had a text message which is odd because nobody texts me.

1 message from Trissssyyyyy!! 

I giggled at the name he had chosen for himself and opened up the text message:

Hi Hay! (I'm liking the nickname)... Just a reminder that me and the boys are going to the beach today, it would be really great if you could come with us. Please?  x

I sighed and stared at the message for a while, I want to go to the beach more than anything in the world but I can't get distracted from my work... These boys have already made me feel like dirt once when they left me on the floor yesterday, so why should I go with them? But Tristan is being really nice towards me, he is acting like my best friend which is weird as I haven't known him for long, he even put a kiss at the end of the message... and then there is Brad... Don't even get me started on him.

"Just go!" I heard Rachel say which made me jump. "When did you wake up?" I asked. "When your alarm went off, please just go to the beach? I think you will regret it if you don't go." Rachel explained and I sighed. "I just don't wanna be used by them and what if Jasmine is going?" I asked. "Why would they invite you if they were going to use you? And I'm pretty sure Jasmine won't wanna go if you are there." Rachel explained, I stared at the message for a few seconds longer and then started to type a reply.

1 message to Trissssyyyyy!!
Hi, I will come... But I won't stay for long as I have work to be getting on with and I wouldn't want to get in the way of you and the other girls. x

I changed his name in my contacts to Tristan so it is easier for me to recognise who was texting me, I should probably find out his last name.

1 message from Tristan
The other girls aren't coming and we were only going to go out for a few hours, maybe get some lunch while we are out? x

1 message to Tristan
Yeah ok. Where do you want me to meet you and when? x

1 message from Tristan
Outside the recording studio at 9:30am?? x

1 message to Tristan
Okay, I will see you soon.  x

I put my phone on charge and removed the duvet covers from around me to feel the warmth of the covers leave me and the cool air hit my skin, Rachel looked at me with apprehension. "Sooooooo...." She started. "I'm gonna go with them... But! Only for a few hours, I have work to be getting on with." I explained and Rachel nodded. "That's ok! Small steps." Rachel explained. "Small steps?" I asked as I opened my wardrobe. "Towards friendship, and maybe you can actually talk to Brad today?" Rachel asked. "I don't know, I don't want to get in the way of him and Jasmine." I explained as I pulled out some high waisted jeans and a crop top, I slipped them on and then put a hoodie on over he top. "I'm sure you won't be, the girls won't even be there." Rachel explained and I nodded, I the walked into the bathroom and washed my face before brushing my teeth. Once I had done this I brushed my hair and straightened it until it was bearable to go out with.

"You look nice today." Rachel mentioned and I smiled in reply. "Thank you, but I've looked better." I commented and she giggled. "It's funny how you think you look awful when you actually look so pretty all the time." Rachel explained. "Not as pretty as you." I replied and slipped some Converse on. "While I'm out did you want me to go shopping for a few snacks to put in the fridge?" I asked. "Yeah sure, can you maybe get some ice cream if it's not too expensive? I'm really craving ice cream!" Rachel exclaimed and I laughed. "Yeah sure, I will see what I can find." I replied, she walked over to me and handed me a £5 note. "No, it's fine. I can pay for it." I explained but she just looked at me and held out the money, I sighed and took it as I knew she wouldn't let me leave without it. "Go and have some fun, make some friends." Rachel said and I smiled before looking at the time to see it was 9:15am, maybe I could just make my way down there and sit outside for a bit before the boys arrive.
