Chapter Eleven

Rachel's POV

Today we were meeting at Michelle's place all over at Sefton, and none of the girls had been there before, so I was glad not to be the only unfamiliar one.

I caught the train with Noelene. A very big grin was spread on my face- I was still thinking about maths class in the morning.
"What are you all smiles about?" asked Noelene.
I looked at her sheepishly, a little embarrassed.
"Well, I got to maths early and Calum was there. Err.. we talked and then I gave him my number..."
Her brown eyes opened wide.
"Whoa..."
She looked really awed. then she frowned.
"Wait- you know that Eileen really likes Calum, right?"
I frowned. I hadn't thought about that part.
"She does?"
"Oh yeah! Her jealousy will seriously drown you- the two have known each other for almost their whole lives! they were always hanging out together until Calums dad, Phil, died."
"Waiitttt! Calums dead father is called PHIL?"
"yeah.. is that surprising... Phil is a really common name?"
"No,its just Phil is my very much alive's fathers name!"
"Whoah, that's a really big coincidence!"
"Really big...." I agreed.
We chatted for another ten minutes until the train came to our stop.
"Come on, let's go!"

I stepped into Michelle's house and it felt very warm inside. I looked around, and it was amazing- her house wast as big as Alex's, but definitely looked as nice!

Eileen was already there, sitting on the very comfortable looking beanbag. She looked up and smiled very wide.
"Hey Rach! Hey Noelene!"
She jumped up and have both of us a huge hug. I felt even worse for getting Calums number.
I plopped down on the beanbag next to Eileen, and decided to speak up.
"When are Miranda and Alex coming?"
"Oh they're coming soon- they're just picking up some KFC for dinner." replied Michelle.
Yum! right then, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" shouted Eileen.
She ran to the door and flung it open.
"Hey alex! Hey Miranda!"
They smiled back.
"Hey Eileen!"
Alex was pretty, but tonight she looked amazing! Her blonde hair was done into a very sophisticated do, an she was wearing a black dress, which looked like it was made by a famous designer. I stopped staring at her, and started smelling the KFC.
"Wow that smells good!" stated Noelene.
"Let's eat!" shouted Michelle.
We ran to the sofa, and jumping on in a huddle, and opened the boxes.
"The drumsticks are mine!" shouted Noelene.
"No way! I'm taking them!" screamed Eileen.
I literally had a spasm watching them have a cat fight over who would have the drumsticks.

We were lying on the floor in our sleeping bags when my phone started flashing. I looked, an saw that it was Calum- he had just texted me!
It sad: Hey Rachel. Do u wanna hang out sometime next week?
I smiled and replied : Sure! How's next Sunday?
He texted back: See you then
I smiled and turned off my phone.
"What are you all giggles about?"
" Oh it's nothing."
Noelene spoke up, causing me to eternally curse her.
"Go on Rach, tell then."
I huffed with annoyance.
"Fine. I gave Calum my number and he just texted me."
I saw Eileen immediately turn away. "I'm going to sleep guys" she muttered.
Miranda looked a little strange and turned off her light. "me too."
The the girls followed her until only Noelene was looking at me. She mouthed 'sorry' and turned off her light.
I felt terrible. what had I done. Eileen and everyone must hate me now! I felt a tear trickle down my cheek as I lay down and went to sleep. Who would I chose- Calum or my friends? Eileen especially.

My thoughts wandered as I fell asleep. The decision would haunt me for a very long time.
