Hot chocolates and tissues

Chapter 7- Spill the beans then?

Lilly and Rebecca hop off the bus in the centre of town, and they head straight for Starbucks!

They enter the coffee shop and both order exactly the same thing; a small chocolate cream, with no cream.

They sit down opposite each other, and Lilly notices Rebecca isn't fully focused on her rambling on about her cat, Dinxy.

"Okay, I know Dinxy isn't the most friendly cat but you don't have to give her looks like that" Lilly says trying to get her friends attention.

"Wait, what?" Rebecca asks confused.

"Haha, knew you weren't listening!" Lilly laughs, "spill then?"

"What? I have nothing to tell you?"

"You might not want to tell me, but whatever your thinking about obviously is concerning you."

"Oh, it's nothing.." Rebecca says very unconvincingly.

"Yeah right! We've been best friends since we were 7. I know when something's up, and by the look on your face it's either a boy or Rebel?"

Rebel is Rebecca's dog, who came from a horrible home where he was mistreated. He always has problems with his eyes from when he was hit constantly on the head.

"It's not Rebel.." Rebecca starts, "it's a boy."

Lilly sighs.

"Oh Becca, who this time?"

Rebecca explained everything about Connor; how they met, the trip to the park, how he nearly tried to kiss her, the text.

Lilly said oohs, awws and ahhs where appropriate, and when Rebecca finished she just sat thinking.

Rebecca is looking at her, as if she's waiting for her to say something.

There's a silence for a minute, and then Lilly starts to speak.

"To me it sounds like you have actually found someone that seems as though he has a similar personality to you! Just wait for him to get back to you, I'm sure it will be soon." She smiles at Rebecca who seems to be processing everything she just told her.

"Also, will he be going to our school? I mean there's only high cross, and the next school is a 40 minute walk!"

"I don't actually know. I'm sure we will soon find out tomorrow, if he's there or not!" Rebecca had perked up, now she had let out her feelings. She was glad Lilly gave her advice instead of saying the usual 'we're only 15 we don't know what love is, forget about it' lecture.

They stand up and leave Starbucks after a 40 minute chat, and they start walking to HMV.

Rebecca picks up a copy of 'Meet the Vamps' as they are her new favourite band. Lilly notices and says;

"Does your Connor look like that Connor?" Tapping her newly, painted long nails on the cover of the CD, just over the body of the bassist, Connor Ball.

"Not really, similar hair.." Rebecca didn't want to talk about Connor, she just wanted to take her mind off him.

"Oh" replied Lilly, obviously catching on to the fact her friend wanted to change the subject for a little while.

They were in the queue waiting to pay for there things; Rebecca just had 'The Vamps' album, and Lilly had the '5 seconds of summer' album and a DVD.

Rebecca's phone buzzed, she slips it out her coat pocket and types in her code, unlocking her phone. She smiled as she saw Connor's name appear on the screen:

'Sorry I haven't gotten back to you until now, been busy unpacking and decorating my room. Do you wanna come over tonight after tea, about 7? C xx'

Lilly pokes Rebecca and gestures her to go pay for her things. She shoves her phone quickly in her pocket and walks to the till.
