*The next day*

Rick's POV

I woke up to the sun coming through my window. Well, what I thought was my window. I took in my surroundings. Oh no, this is Sam's room. Then I felt something on my legs move. Sam. She fell asleep on me, I remember. I've got to get out of here. I tried to get up without waking her. I carefully moved her head off my legs and quickly moved towards the door when I heard a noise. I turned around slowly to find it was just Sam had moved. I opened the door slowly to avoid noise and shuffled out. I shut the door slowly again and walked into my room which next to hers. I leaned against the door and thought 'well that could have been really awkward'. Then I grabbed some clean clothes and went to have the shower I was meant to have last night.

Sam's POV

I woke by a gust of wind coming through the window. I got up and went to shut the window. I went to look at the clock it read 10:30. I slept really well last night. I realised I was still wearing my clothes from yesterday. Weird. I got changed into a clean pair of red skinny jeans, white tank top with a black undershirt because of the long sides in the tank top and my white converse with graffiti design on them. I brushed my hair and headed downstairs for food. I got in the kitchen and only Tyler and Rick were there.

"Good morning boys" I said going over to the cereal boxes.

"Morning" they said in sync.

I poured my cereal and milk. I got a spoon and sat down with them.

"I think our prank is a hit" I said smiling at Tyler and started eating my breakfast.

"I know right" Tyler said smirking.

"Oh by the way, Rick thanks for talking to me last night it's nice to talk to a friend" I said and then taking a bite of my cereal.

"No problem" he said.

"Also did I fall asleep when you were talking to me because you weren't there this morning?" I said suddenly remembering him being there last night but in the morning.

"Oh, I went to my room after you fell asleep" he said with a weird look on his face.

"Ok. I was worried I fell asleep on you" I said and carried on eating.

"Don't worry you didn't" he said with a weird look again.

We finished breakfast with minimal talk which I didn't mind. I put my bowl in the dishwasher. I went into the living room and then suddenly something grabbed around my legs. I looked down to see Harry.

"Hey Harry" I said bending down to give him a proper hug.

"That prank was amazing" he said before running off. I laughed and sat down on the sofa. I turned on the TV to find F.R.I.E.N.D.S on.

I watched 3 episodes and was about start my fourth when the TV was blocked by 3 people. I looked up to find Tee, Carmen and a girl I've never since before in front of me. They all had big smiles on their faces.

"Ok, your creeping me out. Can I help you in any way?" I said shutting off the TV and sitting up straight.

"Can we do your makeup?" Carmen said.

"Makeup. Oh no. I don't like makeup but you could do my nails if you want" I said hoping they would rather do that. They looked at each other and then nodded. I stood up and we walked upstairs to my room. They sat down of the bed as I went to find my nails art stuff.

"Oh, I'm so stupid sometimes. Sam this is Lily. She used to live here and is my best friend" Carmen said motioning to the girl called Lily.

"Hi, nice to meet you" I said, putting down my nail stuff and smiling at her.

"You too" she said back.

"So what colour?" I asked revealing the nail art kit I have and the amount of nail polish I have.

We spent a good hour doing our nails on our hands because we wanted to make them perfect. After, while we were waiting for then to dry, we were talking and getting to know each other better. Then we heard a phone buss. Lily pulled out her phone, looked at the screen and her face showed that it was someone she didn't like.

"David" she said. Tee and Carmen nodded their heads but I was confused.

"What?" I asked.

"Ex boyfriend. He keeps texting her" Carmen answered for her.

"Oh, I understand" I said looking at Lily.

"Really?" Lily said.

"Yep, my ex wouldn't agree to breaking up. I did it anyway and so we didn't end on good terms. I had to change my number for the amount of times he texted me" I said explaining my situation leaving out some important parts.

"When did this happen?" Tee asked.

"Erm...6 months ago. More or less" I said.

"Wow. That's not that long ago. How long did take to get over it?" Carmen asked shocked.

"About two, three weeks. He wasn't very nice anyway" I said shrugging. They all nodded and carried on doing our nails. Our night continued like that until about 6pm because we were called downstairs for dinner. We sat down in our seats and Tracy have us our plates.

"Oh, I like your nails. Who did then?" Tracy said looking at my new blue and black stripy nails.

"Sam. She's really good" Tee said while looking over at me.

"Are you good at art?" Faith asked then taking a bite of food.

"I'm alright" I said looking down at my plate.

"No your just alright, your brilliant . She's brilliant. I saw the pictures in your room when you up them up" Rick said pointing his fork at me and looking at everyone else. I looked down at my plate finding my peas more interesting.

"Hey we thought about getting a painting for the entrance but could you do something?" Mike said from the end of the table. I looked up and found that everyone was looking at me.

"Um...I could try" I said unsure.

"Fantastic" he said carrying on with his meal and with that said conversation started again. I looked down at my plate, smiled and thought 'I can do this'.
