Its nearly 9pm and we still havent found anyone i know. We've been searching for hours and are on the verge of giving up. I'm here for 3 days and i didnt bring a thing(i was sharing amongst my friends).

"I think we should go for round two tomorrow, its late and its dangerous at this time of night here." His face is formed in a worried expression, playing with the hair at the back of his neck.

"Where can I go then if i dont know where my tent is?" I knew what the answer would be because it was obvious.

"You can come to mine, my mate has a girlfriend you can stay with, shes cool."

"Only tonight though, I need to find my friends tomorrow." As much as I want to stay with matthew, i need to find my group, otherwise I'm fucked.

Matty looks hurt by my words. Doesn't he want me to leave? i seem annoying enough dragging him everywhere on my search party.

"oh um...thats ok, but what if you can't find them? Would you want to stay with m- i mean our group for a couple days?"

"This is very serious though matty. I need to go home with them and make sure they know I'm not dead or something. I don't know, we'll see ok?"

Matthew nods without saying a word. He suddenly grabs my hand softly and leads me to the bundles of tents.

"Are we going back to your tent now?"

"yeah, I'm tired and you probably are too."

"ok." Is all i say as he leads me to his tent.

once we arrive, the tent is massive, probably enough to fit 8 people inside. the colour is a light green, painted with logos and symbols which looked kinda cool.

Matthew lets go of my hand and i loose the weird tingle feeling once again. He zips down the tent to reveal a boy and a girl making out, oh god.

"Hay hay guys yo calm the fuck down. We need to sleep in here tonight, dont wanna be to hot."

Everyone laughs at his sexual joke while i stand behind him, being very confused about whats happening.

"Oh don't worry I'm kicking Jay out tonight anyways, hes too spoilt."

I notice the girl say that to matthew, her arm draped around the guys shoulders. I studied her features fairly quickly too.

She had a cool, punk style. She had a lip and eyebrow piercing, ripped high waisted shorts and a nirvana crop tshirt on. Her black worn out converse were sticking out as she sat on the back of her legs. She had very fair skin, but suited it completely. She seemed to have a couple of tattoos along her arm, and black chipped nail polish on. I could see a bag of weed next to her with some paper, the guy looked pretty stoned, and her eyes were bloodshot, so I'm assuming shes a bit high. Besides that she actually seemed pretty rad, she was very pretty as well.

Her boyfriend i suppose, who i heard his name was jay, was the complete opposite. He wore a plaited long sleeve tshirt with denim jeans and boots. His hair was scruffy but short and seemed to look very tall, even though he was sitting down. He had some similarities compared to Matthew. He had the black bags and stubble. I didnt find him as attractive as Matthew though.

I snap back into reality as the girl is calling for me.

"Tarnee? Is that your name?"

"Uh, yeah it is.. hello"

"Suup I'm Alice, you seem pretty rad come chill with us."

Matthew turns around in his squatting position in front of the tent and moves his head in the direction of Alice.

I walk past matty and sit next to Alice, with jay on the other side.

"Ok me and jay are gonna be on the other side, I'm tired as fuck and i can smell all the weed yous been taking."

"Deal with it or I'll shave your pubes off." Matty throws his hands playfully in the air and i silently laugh to myself.

"Ok boss pants, do ya girl things and go to sleep."

"Ok dickhead." Both Alice an matthew do an annoyed smile towards eachother Matthew disappears into the covers next to us.

Jay then gives Alice a kiss and goes the same direction as matthew did.
