The Scholarship

Meeting ~ 23

Before, me and Con arranged to meet his band at my place! I was quite excited, their single hit number 1 in the first week! And I guess we were going to celebrate! Lucy wants to come too, being a fan, and I'm sure that's ok.

My mom wants to meet them as well, but I said to wait. She's so eager, so I've kicked her out to her friend's house for the night again. They're going to stay over tonight, I hope we get on!

The doorbell rang, I couldn't think straight, and had to think how to open the door. I've lived here for how many years? The bell rang again, oh yeah. So I opened the door to 4 smiling boys. One curly haired, another with shaved on the side, the other with it smoothly 'spiked', then Con. They were all beautiful! Physique too, especial-

"Hi!" Nearly shouted Connor, snapping me out of my daze. They must've noticed. I looked up, and saw that I was looking at the 'spiked' hair's abs. He wore thin clothes, therefore you could see. He gave a laugh, and it was quite awkward for me. I smiled and couldn't speak, so as I turned to let them in with my arm out, one of them asked to come in. Wow. I was speechless.

"So,this is Brad,"the curly haired one,"Tris," the shaved one, "and...James."

"HI!" I yelled. Wow, I've got to control myself. I felt something wet under my mouth, so I wiped it, only to find that I was drooling at the sight of, James. James. Such a lovely name, STOP IT. STOP IT NOW!!!

"Oh sorry! Hi." I now say normally. "I'm, as you sure know," indicting at Con, "Bailey." I smile. "And, as you all know," indicting to them, "you're gorgeous!" Did I really just say that aloud?! I can feel my cheeks burning up like a tomato.

"Yes." Brad smile-laughs.

"Oh God, I just said that too." I look to my feet and wait for someone to talk, before noticing that I should. It being my house and all. "Please sit!" Pointing to the seats, maybe a little to orderly, as Tris, I think, goes "Yes miss!" And as I leave the room to the kitchen, I hear them laughing.

Then someone said something, footsteps, and James came through.

"Hi?" I turned.

"Hi."

"So..."

"Yeah."

"You ok?"

"Yeah, well no. Erm, yeah. Wait what?"

"Are you ok?"

"With what? You? Con? The guys? My parents? Life? What? How about you just tell me...." I say venturing off to what he really doesn't need to know.

"Wow hold on!" He says with his hands up, taking a step back. And a tear rolls down my face. I don't know why, it just does.

"Wow, come here." He closes the gap and holds me in his strong arms.

I pull back and manage to say, "Thanks." And Brad stands there,

"You ok?"

"Wow, I can't handle all the hottness in the same room at once!" I joke, he comes over, and we have a group hug. Next thing you know, Connor and Tris are at the door staring. I indicate for them to come, and this time we ALL have group hug.

"Come on," I say, breaking the gathering, "let's get the snacks ready!"

"YEAH!!"

"WOOO!!" And,

"LET'S DO THIS!!" is yelled, and I wipe off the snot, last tear, and have a giggle.

Once all the snacks are done, me and Brad go upstairs to find some pillows and a duvet and stuff. We come into my room, and Brad laughs.

"Pink bunnies? Really?"

"I had it done when I was 3 ok, we're redecorating this weekend if you're interested?"

"Definitely!"

"Ooh, the sarcasm we come out with! Just marvellous! Bloody splendid!"

He looks at me, and can't keep it in any more. Neither can I, so we let it all out, every last drop.

Next we move to the spare room, and grab the duvet, as well as a few sleeping bags. Then we head downstairs, and get some funny questioning looks.

"What were you doing up there?" Asked Connor with a raised eyebrow. We loked at eachother once more and let it out again.

"Ooohhh, nothing!" Me and Brad chorused, having the same idea.

"Oh ok then..." Tris laied on.

We all chipped with setting up, deciding the movie and where to sleep. Whilst I put the disc in, they were all getting ready. On the right of us was Tris who was in charge of the remote, then to his left Brad, James, then of course me and Con, snuggled up.

The Fox thing plays, the producing companies, and everything. Next thing you know the credits are rolling, is it me or do movies go really fast? I'm sure they lie about the time or something. Next up was Lion King, oh this will be fun, I just want to fall asleep!
