"It was not yours!" Clem smiles, rolling her eyes.

"Oh my god, yes it was!" her old best friend laughs over the phone. 

"Emily, it was not your weed." she exits the grocery store with a plastic bag in her hand, which was full of AJ's favourite sweets and crisps. 

Lee went to see Carly, therefore she was left to take care of her younger brother. Before she left to go to the shops, she left him with Louis. 

She trusted him to babysit for literally only twenty minutes, but she still quickened her pace as she walked. She unknowingly rolls her eyes, letting an irritated huff pass by her mouth. 

She wasn't looking forward to babysitting two boys this evening. 

"I gave it to you!"

"Yeah, you gave it to me but it wasn't yours!"

"Oh, whatever. You got high on it anyway," Emily chuckles over the phone, reminiscing over past parties that they went to together. 

The memories were sweet to her but to Clem, they were slightly intimidating. She wasn't like that now, and couldn't go back.

"Yeah yeah, I know. Hey, when are you coming down here? I thought you were meant to ages ago," her mouth scrunches to the side. 

"I know but my grades got shit and I had to stay to fix 'em. I can come to visit you whenever you want, baby girly." she grins widely, as if Clem could see her. 

"Well, what about next week?" 

"Absolutely. I'll go Friday then stay to Sunday."

"Don't you have to check plans or anything?" Clem giggles and shakes her head. Emily always made impulse decisions. 

Emily shrugs, "Fuck 'em."

"Alright, I'll talk to you later. I'm almost home."

"Oooo, to your prince charming?" she teases, fluttering her eyelashes. 

"Ew- Emily." Clem scowls. Something about the thought of Louis being a prince and her the princess, made her gag. Too cringy

"Well, I can't wait to meet him and steal him from you." she smiles. 

"Aww, and break your Ed's heart?" she smiles too, raising an eyebrow. 

"Ugh, don't talk to me about him. He said my tits were getting saggy the other day!" 

Clementine burst into a fit of laughter in the middle of the sidewalk, almost at her house. 

"Oh my god," she short girl wheezes. 

"Oh, speak of the devil. He's here, I gotta go. See you later, lovely bum!" 

Emily hangs up after audibly kissing the screen of her phone. Clem smiles and slips her phone in her back pocket. 

Her house was now visible, so she begins jogging towards it - not so much out of worry, more like fear of the ice cream in the bag melting. 

Clem enters through the front door and closes it behind her. She goes through to the kitchen and hastily puts the tub of ice cream in the freezer, along with the frozen peas, fish fingers, ice cubes and AJ's homemade coca-cola ice lollies. She closes the door of the freezer and puts the plastic bag on the counter, unpacking all of the other goodies. 

"AJ, I'M HOME! COME GET YOUR SNACKS!!" she shouts, putting the bag in the drawer under the sink along with all the others. 

Several seconds of complete silence followed after, making Clem's eyebrow raise with suspicion.
