I lay on my bed, my face cushioned into the bedding. Amelia's sitting on her bed on her laptop typing very fast.
"Babs! Quick, come here." I try to get myself together and get up off my bed. I walk over to Amelia  and sit down next to her.
"What are you doing?" I said, looking over at her laptop. She was on a bidding website.
"What are you bidding for?" I asked, confused. Amelia grabbed a piece of paper. It was a leaflet from a night club - The Spot. I read it over a couple of times just to make sure Amelia was actually doing this.
"Your bidding for the night club!?" Amelia snatched back the paper and began to explain.
"I found this hanging in the corridor. If you win, you get to rent out the night club for the whole day for free!" I smacked my hand over my face, just to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
"Gem! If you get it for free then why are you bidding? That involves money!? And also, we don't need the club for a WHOLE day!" Amelia looked away from her computer for a second, her hands still moving fast on the keyboard.
"Babs! You don't bid money on this website. You don't bid anything! It's whoever the last person to keep clicking Win gets the club. I've been going at it for hours now, there are 4 people left! The fifth person gave up 5 minutes ago. And we do need the club for he whole day so we can decorate it or just hang there!" I saw Amelia was getting tired. Her head and arms were sweating and her legs were stiff.
"Hey, why don't I take over?" She smiled and handed me the laptop. My finger began clicking Win as fast as it could go.
"Um, Gem." Amelia looked over at me as soon as the word umm exited my mouth. I clicked on the video I had taken of Stephanie and handed her my phone. I saw Amelia's smile turn into a straight line and her eyebrows diagonal. I could tell she was angry.
"We need to win this!"
2 hours later ....
I had been clicking Win for a while now. There were only 2 people left, me and another player.
"Hey Gem! I'm loosing battery!" Amelia immediately jumped out of her position on the bed and leaped for the charger. She plugged it into her laptop and started breathing again. She wiped the sweat from her head and sat down on my bed, as I was on hers. I could tell my opponent was getting tired as in the corner of the website was a small tally of the number of Win's you click. I was on 5000 and he was slowly going down to 4000. I was gonna Win!  Suddenly my numbers went up to 6000 and his to 1000 then nothing. He lost!! I won!!! I jumped up and down and started screaming loudly. Then Amelia joined in. We jumped up on her bed until we got tired. I got an email that the club is all ours for free on the 29th July! Tomorrow! I took a screenshot of the email just in case it's a con and then turned it off. Ughhh. I can't wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow when I kick Stephanie's butt!!
