Millie

Why i hadnt thought of having friends like these, i have no idea. These people are amazing. I mean we might be an odd bunch but i can understand what brings us together. Just by looking around, seeing how comfortable we all are with each other just shows what good friends we all are. And quite frankly, i dont think i would ever change it for the world. Seriously, it wouldnt be the same if like Vince wasnt the dirty minded, big mouth he is, or if Lilly and Tom didnt constantly finish each other sentences and giggle whenever they did so. I cant say that i would want my friends any other way. Although... There seems to be a bit of subtle conflict between James and Vince. I mean, i know Vince is like the master of home truths but when it comes to James, he seems to go all out. Its as if he is deliberately trying to make him look bad in front of me. Or maybe its just boy banter and im looking too much into it. I guess i will just have to see.

Currently, we are all sitting in a circle around my bed, looking through photo albums and year book photos or any kinds of photos we have. Lilly thought it would be a brilliant idea to help me with my memory. Bless her, she is such a sweetheart. So far we have had so many laughs and heart to hearts about different photos. From when we were little kids, up until now. My favourite one was when-

"Hold up! Who is that?" For some reason my heart rate has increased, images are flying through my head of the green eyed girl and i swear my blood is literally boiling.

"Who that? Oh no-one..." Tom answers, too quickly. Everyone has suddenly gone quiet, and everyone but Vince is looking uncomfortable.

"Vince?" I turn to him, knowing that he will give me a straight answer.

"Oh yeah, just no-one but James' hook up buddy," he shrugs.

"James's what!" I swear to god, if he is trying mess with me, im really going to hurt him this time. Honestly, if looks could kill, James would be charged with first degree murder.

"Oh wow, is that the time?" Georgia comments with an ounce of exaggeration.

"Georgia, you dont even have a watch," now that Vince mentions it, i look at Georgia's wrist and sure enough she hasnt got a watch.

"Yeah and you're going to have a flat nose if you keep talking. Get up we are going," she commands to Vince.

"What? Why? Did i say something?"

"No ofcourse you didnt," the sarcasm in Toms tone is so evident you dont need to have five sense to know that he is annoyed at his brother.

"Would someone tell me what the hell is going on?" Im so confused. One minute im asking who the green eyed girl is , the next minute everyone is all edgy and claiming they have places to be and people to see.

"Dont worry yourself hunny, its really nothing," Lilly tries to reassure me as Georgia,Tom and Vince are headng for the for.

"See ya tomorrow at college Millie." They all chorus before shutting my bedroom door behind them. James has been awfully quiet during the whole exchange, i wonder what he has to say about all that.

"So..."

"So... What?"

"Dont act dumb with me James, explain to me what that was all about."

"Like Lilly said, dont worry about it."

"How can i not worry when one of your bestfriends is telling me that that girl is your hook up buddy and everyone acting all wierd in response to it?" Im starting to get real annoyed with him now.

"Just ignore Vince, he is just trying to wind us both up over nothing. Rebecca is one of my best friends, who friend zoned Vince and he just hasnt gotten over it thats all."

"So since you're hook up buddies, that makes you two best friends with benefits, right?"

"Trust me its nothing like that. The past is the past, lets leave it at that

okay", he is starting to get exasperated 'cause he keeps running his hands through his hair.

"Trust you? How can i trust you when you're keeping me things from me. I mean, if you had amnesia and saw a picture of your boyfries ex hook up buddy or whatever and it make you angry and brought all these wierd memories that make no sense wou-"

"Wait you got angry at that picture?"

"Well-"

"And what do you mean by wierd memories? What did you see?" Now im really starting to worry.

"Nothing that makes any sense but why are you suddenly getting edgy? Just tell me what-"

"I gotta go." There he goes again, cutting me off.

"James ! Where are you-"

"I'll text you or something later. Love you." With a kiss on my forehead, he is out of the door before i can say another word.
