The Scholarship

The Day Of London ~ 15

I was awoken by the beaming light from the window. The lace curtains were closed and without them I would probably be blind. I roll over to my other side to shield me from the light, it didn't help much, but I decided to wake Connor up. I lightly grab horizontal to his vertical body, and start to shake. He opens his eyes and takes a look around the room, finally his eyes are on mine. Sighing, I have been pulled up to be by his side. I am on top of the duvet, and he underneath, so we were all tangled up when he turned it around and rolled on me. It was tight and I could only just breath, never mind let out a laugh. So I began to cough, I was released from the cage and sat up. Looked over at him with a smirk, before diving on the monster trapping him underneath me. His body tightly trapped, and it jumped up so we flipped over. Now he was on me, again, and laid a soft kiss on my nose and fell on me with a tight hug. I squeezed, this distracted him, leaving me to run out and escape. "Victory!!!" I yelled, so loud that I heard someone shout, "SHUT UP!" in the room above us. I let out a chuckle, grabbed some clothes and made my way into the bathroom.

Connor was singing along to the radio, he has a lovely voice, but he never thought so. Whoever told him, he'll only ever say no with a scoff.

"You're a great singer you know!"

"If you say so, and if it's anyone who is a great singer, it's you!"

"Ok then, if you say that I'm the best one, and say you are, let's see who really is."

"What do you mean by that?" He asked with worry.

"Nothing." I smirked.

"No, what's up?!"

"Nothing, just that I saw a flyer about a girl and boy band places wanted. We should enter, and see if whose accusations are correct!"

"Fine, I'll not get in, I'm telling you now, but I'm only doing it for my very persuasive girlfriend." He grabs my hand, glancing into my eyes before the road.

"Auditions are today, tomorrow and the day after that. It's from 7-6 at a local venue. We could go today on the way back?" I suggested.

"Yep, let's do that then, and get it out the way! That means we should leave at about 3ish to get back before they close. We're just on the edge, so it's not as long. What do you want to do today?"

"What you got planned?"

"Who said I had?"

"No one, just you planned this whole thing and everything around. Including my parents, wait, do they know?" Panic sinking in.

"Well of course, if not they'd be worried sick. Probably call 999, and say I'd obducted you!!!"

"Hahaha, very funny story. How about an art gallery or something?" For The Scholarship, I was thinking about doing something art related! I'm really good, and enjoy it a lot. It would be a great inspiration and give me ideas of what to do.

"Course, anything for youuuuu!" He sung along to the radio.

"Stop it!" I said, playfully pushing his arm, then making them folded.

We were about to enter a famous gallery, it was one of my favourites, but it's too far away so I don't get to go much. But it had recently been updated with new expeditions, so I'm quite excited!

"Wow!" I exclaim. The work is amazing! We had been to another gallery and to the park, as well as Subway.

"Come  over here. Look at this!" He drags my arm.

"Shouldn't we get going now? Or else we'll be late. And we can't be late!"

"Aww, I thought you'd forgot about that."

"As if!" I pull him by the arm to the entrance/exit, "No way you're getting off that easily!'
