{Year 11}

- 5:45pm - 


Emma and I are slumped over the bottom bunk. My legs flung over her torso, my back leaning against the wall and my head supported by my bright pink neck pillow. Emma is lying on her stomach, lazily flipping through Instagram with her hands propped up by a penguin pillow pet. My eyes drift around our small hotel room. Across from our bunkbed is a small dining table with an even smaller TV where a rerun of 'Friends' is playing softly, and beside the front door is a small kitchenette. Our mini fridge is filled with Emmas 'up-and-gos' and the assortment of chocolates we bought. There is a tiny bathroom at the back of the room and that completes the room tour. Our suitcases lie open on the floor and Emmas clothes are strewn everywhere.


There is a loud knock at our door. We both meet eyes before whipping out our hands to see who has to answer the door.


"Scissors. Paper. Rock!"


Emma makes a fist just as I jab my 'scissors' in her general direction.


"Yes!" Emma grins and does a little victory shoulder wiggle.


The knocks on the door intensifies and I sigh loudly. I slide from the bed and pad across the carpeted floor to the door. I peek through the peep-hole to see James and Jungkook standing at the doorway. James is knocking continuously now and I roll my eyes before pulling the door open.


"Finally!" James grumbles as he pushes past me into the room.


"Hi James," I call over my shoulder before facing Jungkook, "Hi Kookie."


"How is it going Aud?" Jungkook grins, his eyes crinkling in the corners.


"Fabulous." I call to his back as he walks into the room.


I close the door and turn to see that James has taken my spot on the bed beside Emma and Jungkook is sitting on the carpeted floor leaning against the bed-frame. With a sly glare at James, who gives me a cheeky grin in return, I take a seat beside Jungkook on the floor.


"Hey, do you mind if I use your bathroom really fast?" Jungkook asks as he stands up.


"Sure, just don't stink up the place okay?" Emma wiggles her eyebrows and Jungkook lets out a disgruntled huff before going into the bathroom.


"How'd you girls go at the waterpark today?" James asks from behind me and I turn around, leaning against the table leg to face him.


"My legs are so sore!" Emma whines, rubbing her calves and pouting.


"And I have never screamed so much in my life." I admit and they both grin at me.


"We know. The whole park knows!" James teases, and I blush.
