My alarm goes off, I slowly and reluctantly open my eyes and turn to see Abbey. Either she's purposely acting like she hasn't heard my alarm because she doesn't want to wake up, or she's a heavy sleeper.

"Abbey," I whisper, nudging her shoulder. Nothing. "Abbey," I say a bit louder and pushing her harder. Nothing. "Abbey!" I scream into her ear, this'll wake her.

"Hm? Huh... what?" She moans sleepily.

"Wake up my mums dropping you off at home when she takes me to school."

"I don't wanna." She groans and rolling over she her back is to me.

"Suit yourself."

I get up and leave my room. I walk to my stair case and whistle, next thing my border collie Pete is bolting up the stairs. I click my fingers in the direction of my bedroom. "Get her." I command.

I walk over and stand at my doorway and watch Pete jump all over Abbey. She starts squealing as he begins to lick her face and next thing she's up and out of my bed. 'I hate you' she mouths to me and I give her a cheeky grin back.

"You're welcome."

She rolls her eyes and sits back on my bed, this time with a pleasant Pete sitting next to her as she pets his head.

"So what did I miss last night?" She asks yawning.

I smile to myself and walk over taking a seat next to her.

"Let's just say I have a date Friday night."

"No way."

"Yeah way."

"Where to?" She seems no longer tired, but bright and intrigued.

"Out to dinner."

"What are you going to wear?!" She jumps up and heads towards my cupboard door and swings it open. She examines my clothes for a few seconds. "I think I can put something together." She says turning around with a mischievous look on her face.

"I'm trusting you with this," I say laughing, "but I have to get ready for school now, you better get your things."

She gives me a thumbs up and walks towards the pile of her stuff scattered on my floor and begins to pack her bag. I head out of the room and get ready for school.

-

"See you tomorrow?" I say to Abbey as she gets out of my car with her suit cases.

"Unfortunately yes," she refers to her first day back at school tomorrow. "Thanks for having me Amanda," she says to my mum.

"Anytime Abs," my mum says to Abbey giving her a wave and smile.

Abbey walks up her driveway and goes into her house. My mum drives off and now I'm on my way to school.

I'm sitting in class and we've all done the work our teacher gave us, so now he's letting us have free time. Yes I'm in year 12 and yes my english teacher gives us 'free time.' I'm sitting alone at a desk just doing random stuff on my phone. There's a group of three girls sitting in front of me all surrounding a laptop screen watching YouTube videos. It would be nice if they put some head phones in, I really don't want to hear whatever they're listening to.

"Hi Happy New Year from The Vamps, this is our new Justin Bieber mashup cover. And we got our friend Connor to fill on bass. So we hope you like it."

The voice sounds familiar. I can't think of who it is though. I sit and think to myself for a few moments.

It hits me.

I stand up so I can see their screen and my eyes widen. I quickly get around my desk and towards the girls.

"Who are they?" I say quickly to them.

"Um, hi to you too Cara." One of the girls speaks up. Her name is Rachel and she's a complete cow. I wouldn't usually speak to her but I just have to.

"Hi. Who are they?" I repeat.

"Oh, just this little band we like." One of the other girls named Courtney says in her high-pitched voice. I look away from her and back to the screen.

It's defiantly Brad.

I take a glimpse at the YouTube account username. 'The Vamps.'

"Thanks." I say to the three girls.

"Whatevs," the other girl named Lindsay says. I roll my eyes and walk back to my table taking a seat.

I get my phone back out and Google 'The Vamps.' There isn't much but it takes me to their Twitter account. My eyes widen at the amount of followers they have. 57,000 is a lot... I didn't think he was THAT big when he told me about his band. But I think it's awesome at how far he's getting, it must be really special for him.

I think about texting Brad about it, but I'll just wait until Friday. I do however text Abbey.

Me:
Hey Abs, how's back at home feel? I'm finally able to show you a picture of Brad. Just google 'The Vamps' x

Abbey:
It feels greeeeeat. And okay doing it now x

Abbey:
Which one is he?!

Me:
Brown hair

Abbey:
Holy wow Cara! He's a cutie! And his band is actually pretty popular, that's awesome

Me:
Yeah! I'll talk about it more with you later. See you at school tomorrow x

-

I get home, jump on my bed and start watching some of 'the vamps' covers. I hope this isn't weird or creepy because I can actually say that I know Brad. But I can't stop listening to him. To think that he's showing thousands his voice and the only thing that ever hears my singing is my shower. I'm not that good at it though, so I'd like to keep it that way. My phone vibrates next to me and I see Brads name appear.

Brad:
Hey Cara, how are you? Do you have Skype

Me:
I'm doing alright thank you :) and yeah I do. My Skype user is: Cara.Bennett

When I put my phone back down on my bed a Skype notification pops up in the corner of my laptop screen.

Contact Request From b.Rad.Simpson.

I giggle at the name of his Skype and accept it. Moments later I'm getting an incoming call from him. I click answer.

"Hello?" I hear a voice say, and then his face appears on my screen.

I lie back on my bed head with my laptop on my lap.

"Hey." I smile.

Hellooo readers. Once again I hope you're liking it so far. And no, as far as I know 'b.Rad.simpson' is not Brads skype name haha, but feel free to try! Also I can't remember how many followers they had one Twitter just before Connor joined /sigh. So I just guessed with 57,000. ~that's all~ :) Hope you're having a good day/night :)
