"Zion! Hurry up boy," Britney and I laughed as we jumped in the back of the mini van with Austin and Brandon, all of us waiting on Zion who was running down the steps towards us carrying his socks and shoes in one hand, phone and headphones in the other. 

"What happened to you always being ready the quickest out all the boys huh?" 

He just shook his head and jumped in, Brandon shutting the door behind him before we all drove off. 

Today the five of us were heading to Kinjaz Dojo where JD McElroy was taking us for a masterclass as it had been a while since the boys had any major practice and after the whole drama situation with Edwin, Nick and I, we thought it would be good to have a lil' catch up.

"Z, if you don't get your stanky feet the fuck away from me I swear imma go HAM on your ass," I couldn't stop laughing as I seen the way Zion was sitting across the seats where he was sitting next to Britney and Austin and trying to pull his socks and shoes on but failing to move before she shoved him off the seat and moved back in the van next to me and Brandon. 

She groaned in frustration and rested her head on my shoulder, "this was the worst decision ever."

"And 1, and 2, and 3, and 4, 5, 6, 7 and KICK!" 

I looked over at Britney and shrieked as she attacked me with a hug as we finally got the whole dance down and soon enough the boys were around us and it was a full blown group hug. 

"You guys done great! It's always a pleasure teaching you," JD came over congratulating us all before he grabbed his bag and left and the 5 of us all sat to rest for the last half hour we had in the studio.

"Yo so where's Ed and Nick at?" I asked Brandon as we both walked to the vending machines for some water.

"Uh, I guess you could say they're just sorting all this shit out," he scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, "You do know he misses you a lot right?"

I just rolled my eyes at the second part, "What shit though? That's what I don't get, Nick started a whole load of drama about jack shit and I'm so left out of the loop because everyone seems to know what's going on except from me!"

"Nah, g, you know Nick. He just lets his temper and his jealousy get the better of him sometimes."

"Exactly so why the heck would you let him and Ed sort this out on their own, I'm telling you he'll flip his shit over the smallest thing."

"Yeah, we probably should be getting back now," he spoke quietly and hesitantly at my remark and started to walk ahead of me as if to avoid me asking anymore questions which I found quite weird. 

He clearly succeeded as he made it back to the group before me with enough time to mention something enough to make the rest of them act as uncomfortable with me as he had in the last 10 seconds of our conversation. 

Every time I tried to speak to anyone, even Britney, they would give me the shortest answer and try their best to get away from me. The only one who actually spoke to me was Austin, so I sat with him in the back of the van and decided to try get some info out of him. 

"Sooo, Austin," I smiled at him, a massive grin, but he shook his head right away turning my beaming face into a frowning one within a matter of seconds.

"Don't even try, I ain't telling you," I groaned.

"But it's not fair, everyone's being weird with me! At least tell me why, please?" I petted my lower lip out this time, praying to god he'd fall for this one because I had no other ways of getting it out of him without notifying everyone else in the van.
