It's now a Monday. I decided to go back to college and further my education, well take a journalism class. Not really a specific reason for it, other than it just intrigues me and I liked English back in GCSE, so it can't be much different, right? I ended up meeting Issy. She transferred from down south somewhere to up here, I didn't really mind, she kept me company in the lessons, very chatty, bubbly, we talked a lot of shit most of the time.

"I'll see you when you come home." I smiled as I exited the building with her stood beside me.

"See you then!" She smiled as I made my way down to Van who took out a cigarette from the packet for me.

"Who's that?" He asked as I took the cigarette from him.

"Issy, remember me telling you about her?"

"Oh. Does she know anyone who can replace Billy?" He said, passing me his lighter.

"I don't know Van, I don't really go around asking if anyone would like to replace my mates guitarist in a band, do I?" I joked.

"I'm your mate now?" He nudged my side, then pulling me back in, his arm around my shoulders.

"Well, we're not really together are we?" I grinned, taking a drag of the cigarette.

"We can be if you want?" He grinned as he knew what my reaction would be.

"It's been a month Van, I'm not going to immediately start dating you again just because you've apologised millions of times."

"No but I know you want to. Who else is gonna give you better sex than me?" He whispered, making me twat his arm.

"Shush! That mouth is going to get you into shit!" I mumbled as a bunch of girls in the year below me came past and giggled at Van.

"You're lucky you know. Any girl would be lucky to have me." He chuckled, feeling proud of himself.

"You've already fucked most of the girls in the college anyway, so I doubt it mate."

"Well.." He hesitated, trying to find a better answer to outweigh me.

"See! They're still dating!" A girl might as well shouted down the whole street. I turned my head to see the same bunch of girls laughing and giggling at Van. He gestured, rolling his eyes before winking at them.

"Come on, you've already fucked him twice." One of the girls mumbled, not seeming too impressed. I couldn't blame her, once you've had Van, there's no way of escaping him.

"You amaze me McCann." I shook my head in disbelief, flicking away the end of my cigarette.

"What?" He chuckled.

"Telling everyone we'd broken up. It's only been a month and most of the town knows."

"But I haven't told anyone?"

"Yeah, yeah. Keep talking McCann." I rolled my eyes with a sly grin.

"I swear, I didn't Lisa. Must've been one of the boys." He denied, in his high pitched voice.

We reached my house, which I had now moved in with Issy. She was going through some hard times so I let her stay with me and it kind of turned into a permanent.

"Can't you just come move back in with me?" Van pouted.

"Nope. Bye Van." I smiled and I closed to the door on him, leaving him to walk home alone. I know Issy kind of lives with me now and I bet you're wondering why she didn't walk home with me and Van. It's because, she goes to down to the beach sometimes, fuck knows why. She said it helps her relax or something, I don't blame her, A-Levels are fucking stressful. So she'd be home in a couple hours, not even that.
Since my parents had passed, and I'm an only child, so the house got put into my name (I mean it's confusing and obviously not that simple but I'd probably bore you to death, so I'll just say the house is now mine and my auntie and uncle pay most of the bills for me, until I get a job).
My parents room was now converted into Issy's room, white walls, white bedding, pillows, posters and records everywhere. She loved Van's bands however, she didn't know I was "dating" the lead singer.
