"Samuels taking me to school" Olivia hollers down the corridor at me and Amanda, we're sat at the table wildly gulping our cereal like starved animals.

"Okay bye" Amanda shouts back sweetly.

"Use protection" I call back towards Olivia stood in her designer clothes in the door way.

I can just about make out Olivia sticking out her tongue and then the door slams rattling the photo frames hung on the wall.

Luckily my brother had stayed out all night so she didn't have to face his wrath for waking him up early with the slam.

Lucky bitch.

"What do you think about Samuel?" Amanda asks as I collect her bowl and throw it in the sink.

"To be honest he bored the hell outta me but he seems to be treating Olivia like a princess and he's not that bad looking. Theres nothing to worry about" I gulp.

I was completly lying out my ass, I just hoped to god that Amanda didn't see straight through me.

"Yeah, i guess but its hard to forget" Amanda says scraping the chair under the table, to which I nod and agree.

Ever since everything that happened, I vowed to stay away from relationships with people I had bad vibes about on day one. And by following that rule, the list of potential boyfriends was quickly shortened.

"Im going to put the washing machine on" she bellows through the dining room into the kitchen.

"How very domestic" I holler back at her.

After I finally finish the scarce pots us girls had created, AND tackled my brothers mound, I go join Amanda in the living room.

Amanda has this thing about checking pockets before washing her clothes... lets just say there was an incident involving her favourite hoodie and a piece of toilet roll.

"MANDZ!" I shout in realisation. "Its your 18th birthday next, that's crazy!" I say exitedly clasping my hands together but Amanda doesnt look excited, she doesnt even say anything.

"Amanda?" I ask dropping to the carpet next to her suddenly panicked as hell. Her back tenses and her head snaps towards me.

"Who's Grayson?" She asks holding a piece of paper in her right hand.

IS SHE SERIOUS? HEART ATTACK OVER.

She raises an eyebrow and wiggles the paper like it's a cat toy.

"No, its nothing like that. I was-" I stop myself mid-sentence.

I didn't want to blurt that I didn't trust Samuel and that I used this random Grayson dude, who also funnily enough attends our school, to practise a crazy ass speech on.

"You was what?" She asks placing the paper on the carpet. Luckily I have quick reflexes and I manage to snatch the paper from beneath her grip.

"I was talking to him. Just talking, okay? He goes to Queens...though I've never seen him like ever" I reassure her shoving the paper deep into my hoodie pocket.

Amanda smiles and nudges my arm suggestively.

"When did you meet him?" She whispers almost as if he could hear and for some strange reason I crouch into her body like I also believed he was watching too.

"The day we met Samuel and i went on that walk. Saturday if my memory is correct" I whisper back to her.

"4 days ago? 4 DAYS AGO! ITS WEDNESDAY" Amanda shouts crazily completely shocking me.

Woah, there was so much passion.

"What about 4 days ago?" I ask extremely confused about her little outburst.

"You havent called a guy who has given you his number in 4 days. He'll think you hate him or something!" She says returning to checking the pockets of Olivia's pants.

"Who says I havent called him?" I fire back at her.

Amanda stops what shes doing and gives me a glare. I hadn't rang him, that was true.

He also was no where to be seen at school even after I had scoured places I wouldn't usually go to.

I knew what Amanda's face meant, when she lowered her head and stared at me with judging eyes.

"Go and ring him" She orders pointing at the stairs "Go!" She shouts.

I hold my hands up in surrender and scurry away to get my phone like a terrified mouse.
