Zoe, Alfie, Harlow and I sat in the conservatory speaking about life.

"Uncle Joe says I can stop at his apartment for Christmas Eve." I mentioned.

"That'll be nice. You don't get to have that time with him anymore." Zoe said.

"Speaking Of Joe, he phoned me earlier saying he's excited for this week on Strictly." Alfie said.

"What dance is he doing?" Zoe asked.

"I can't remember, I'm not a dance expert." Alf held his hands up in defence.

"Dianne is though." I muttered.

"Dianne said that they're going to confirm that they're dating after the final. They don't want it to let it ruin their image or just ruin their time on strictly." Zoe explained.

I love Dianne, she's perfect for Joe. She's so bubbly and kind, but also a kid at heart which happens to be exactly like Joe. When they started dating, they didn't tell anyone because they wanted privacy, and let's be honest, if everyone knows everything about a relationship, it's always going to get ruined by rumours and jealous people.

"I get that. If people don't like that they're together, they could lose votes and all that kind of stuff. Plus, it would take their mind off of dancing." I agreed.

"Exactly."

My phone began ringing with the caller ID of Taylyn. "I'm gonna go talk to Taylyn." I informed mum and dad, getting up from the sofa.

"Yeah, okay darling."

I ran up two flights of stairs and pressed the green button once my door was closed.

"Hiya hun." I breathed.

"Wow, I'm guessing you just ran up the stairs." Tay chuckled.

I sat at my desk, "how did you guess?"

"You sound like a dying hyena sweetie."

"Aw, thanks babe." I chuckled.

"I wish I could say I was joking."

I twirled around on my chair getting as dizzy as I could. I'm such a child at heart. "Hey, why don't you FaceTime me and help me pick out an outfit for school tomorrow?"

"Okay then, see ya in two."

I switched to my iMac so it was easier for me, and called Tay. She answered straight away.

"Wow you look ugly." I grimaced at her appearance, even though so looked drop dread gorgeous with natural wavy hair and no makeup. She was also wearing a Calvin Klein sports bra with some Adidas leggings; making her figure look amazing.

She blinked a couple of times and put her hand on her heart. "Ouch, that one hit me right in my feelings."

"Oo, Kiki would be jealous."

She grinned. "Any girl would be jealous of me."

"Even JB? And Resha? And JT?" I questioned.

"Alright, just because you know every word of the song." Tay rolled her eyes.

I laughed a little then went into serious mode. "Right, I'm making my big return to school tomorrow. I need to look good."

"Bitch face, you always look good." Tay went out of shot after placing her laptop on a desk.

Her room in the background was stunning. There were cream curtains draped from the ceiling, with a huge window looking out into London behind it. Because it had started to get dark, the lights were twinkling making it look ten times better. The massive chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the centre of the room, above the king sized bed, also improved the room by a good fifty percent.
