Chapter 3

Look at this! OMG guys this made me cry I wish little Liam could see how he turn into a hero because he's my hero I love him so mic I'm crying asdfghjkl

Millie woke me the next day early and I rose without hassle. I showered and pulled on some clothes, a Nirvana merch top that was navy and yellow with some baby pink jeans and a Pull & Bear hoodie I had purchased in Spain last year. Most of my clothes were bargains from foreign countries or band merch. I laced up my navy Keds and hopped down stairs, waking up Acacia for school as I was driving her today.

I braided my damp hair to the side and tied it with a ribbon. I left my makeup very minimal, just brushing some mascara over my lashes.

For breakfast I had Shreddies with skimmed milk, one of my all time favourite cereals, before peeling a small orange and breaking it open, placing each small piece on my tongue.

Acacia strolled into the kitchen, her eyes glued to her phone. She opened the fridge and chewed on a raw carrot before pouring a glass of milk for herself. I beckoned her out of the house and lifted our school bags into my car. I didn't have any extra bags for a sport today so I was happy to have a break.

Acacia finally put her phone in her pocket and had the decency to have a conversation with me.

"So, who's Ashton?" She had asked me last night too.

"Ashton is a boy in my school who is on exchange from Sydney." I answered.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Acacia always asked if any boy I mentioned was my boyfriend. To be fair, I did the same to her.

"I've known him 24 hours, how could he possibly be my boyfriend?" I scoffed, pressing a button on my keys to open the gates to get out.

"I guess." Acacia picked at her manicure, a habit of hers, and it annoyed my like crazy.

"Well, what about you? You have any boyfriends?" I asked cheekily. She went slightly red and looked embarassed.

"Not really." She tried not to make eye contact as she stared out the window.

"Not really? That means yes. You know you can tell me Cia, I'm your big sis!" I pushed her shoulder playfully.

"Well, there's this guy who is always, I don't know, I guess you could call it flirting with me, and he asked me on a date to the cinema next week." Cia bit her nails, turning to face the windscreen again.

"That's amazing! When's the date?" I congratulated.

"No, you don't understand. He said thursday, when Niall and Louis come over. I don't know what to do..." I knew Acacia never missed any chances to see the One Direction lads, so I knew a date wouldn't even come before them.

"That's stupid. Thursday isn't a date day. Tell the guy it's Friday or Saturday or no deal. And he has to pay for your cinema ticket and anything else you buy. Or else he's no good." Acacia laughed.

"Thanks Cass." She smiled, hugging my side before opening the car door as we had arrived at the school. Acacia's school was the middle school of my high school so they were right beside each other. Cia slung her backpack onto her shoulder and rang along to her friends. I watched until she turned back and waved to me and smiled.

Rhys appeared at the trunk of my car with Lynn on his arm. I pulled my bag out of the trunk before he closed It and leaned against it.

"Hello Cliff." He yawned, moving his arm over Lynn's back. She leaned her head against his shoulder. She smiled as a greeting.

"Hey." I grinned, locking my car.

"Have you got a date to prom yet?" Rhys asked, yawning again. I shook my head.
