Emma's pov

It is Friday at long last. The day that everyone dreams of, the day when the weekend starts or in my case the day of the date with Connor. I can't believe it is tonight. I can't believe he asked me yesterday.

"Emma," Jayna calls my name with a stern voice. I turn my head and look at her with a confused look. What's wrong with her? "Did you hear what we asked you?" I shake my head slowly not even knowing Jayna or Zoey had started talking.

"Okay what is wrong with you? You have been distant all morning even in class you kept daydreaming."

"I am just thinking that's all." Do I tell them I mean they are my friends after all, my best friends at that and at least then they can give me advice and stuff? I haven't had a boyfriend so I don't really know what I am doing but I know Jayna has had a boyfriend before and they only split because he was a cheating git.

"Want to elaborate? A problem shared is a problem halved. Well in our case its split in three but you know." Zoey rambles on. What harm will come from telling my best friends.

"You need to promise not to tell anyone. Not Bradley, not my parents, no one." They nod.

"I swear on our friendship."

"I swear on our friendship." I nod with a small smile knowing they won't do anything to risk our friendship.

"Okay well you know I am being excelled and I have to do the ensemble performance. Well I was doing it with Brady and Connor." They nod to show they understand so far. The film about Connor joining The Vamps has gone viral so everyone knows who Connor is. "Well I have been practicing with Brady and Con separately as well as having a few practices together where all three of us practice."

"We know all this. What is bothering you?"

"Zoey you are so impatient." I giggle lightly. "Well yesterday Connor and I played twenty one questions because we all need to relax and take a break from practicing all the time. Anyway he asked about my crushes so I told him every girl has a crush on someone even if it is a celebrity crush. I nearly told him something I didn't want to but then he asked me his last question and he may or may not have asked me out on a date."

"Oh my lord."

"The Scottish one who has just joined your brother's band?" I nod shyly.

"Wow I didn't expect that. When is your date?"

"Tonight he is picking me up at six." They throw me a few more questions about if I like Connor and what I think we will be doing.

"Wait hold up a second." Zoey and I stop talking and look straight at Jayna with blank expressions. "Before you told us you said don't tell Brad. So I am assuming he doesn't know."

"You two, Connor and I are the only ones that know as far as I know."

"Okay how are you planning to leave without anyone noticing and what about if Brad notices his band mate coming up the drive?"

"Oh."

"Okay solution. Zoey stop worrying. We have that assessment to do we can come to mine and to it and get Connor to pick you up from there."

"Jayna you are a genius." I laugh. The bell goes for lesson so we stand up and arrange to meet in the hall for lunch before scampering to our lessons.

At lunch time we all ate our lunch then started to call our parents to make sure we could go to Jayna's. I also texted Connor and told him I would be at Jayna's because of an assignment and gave him the address.
