Nine Muses, Nine Bruises

Bananas, Ice Skating and Hoodie Attacks

The next morning I was woken by Paige banging on my bedroom door at 7am.

I yanked it open violently and glared at her through my sleepy eyes. 'What?' I grunted irritably.

'What's your wifi password?' Paige asked cheerfully. I slammed the door in her face and went back to sleep.

Sisterly love.

When I went down for breakfast, Diana, Sky, Aisling, Alison and Hazel were staring worriedly at Elise, who was screaming at Rebekah. 'Rebekah no, you can't kill Troy!' she wailed, as Rebekah finished eating a banana and made to throw it in the bin.

'Not this again' Rebekah sighed. She looked at me. 'Lola, I blame you entirely for this. If you hadn't given her the idea of acting out High School Musical with fruit SEVEN YEARS AGO,' - she said pointedly, looking at Elise - 'she wouldn't have this emotional attachment to bananas!'

Grace, Rebekah, Elise and I exchanged a look and burst out laughing. 'It was so funny though' Grace said, trying to justify our crazy lunch time behaviour while the others who hadn't been there stared at us as if we had grown another head.

'And, and the apples were tables and cars' Rebekah spluttered between laughs. Elise stopped laughing and looked at her angrily. 'The apples were pets' she said indignantly.

'That was our original idea, but they ended up being tables and cars, like Rebekah said' I explained gently. 'Remember how hilarious it was when Troy was riding the apple?' I laughed.

Elise pouted and proceeded to tie her hair in a knot. 'Do you like my hairstyle, Troy?' she said to the banana skin. Everyone slowly moved out of the room.

'Sorry guys, inside joke' I tried to explain.

'You had to be there' Grace said.

'It really was funny' Rebekah laughed.

Later on, we went ice skating. Elise was the fastest and zipped around the ice rink by herself. I was alright, but always felt the need to hold on to someone. Diana and Aisling linked arms and skated together. I was with Sky when she crashed in to a really cute boy.

I stood nearby and smirked at the awkward conversation that followed.

'Sorry,' Sky stammered, not meeting his gaze. 'I haven't skated in years, plus it's one of my first times' she blabbered quickly.

The boy smiled. 'Don't worry, everyone falls over. You're actually really good for a beginner'.

Sky laughed and looked up at him. 'Well thanks... Ryan' she said, looking at his name tag. 'Oh God, you work here?' she blushed. 'That's so embarrassing' she said, looking at me as if to say get me out of here.

I grinned. I would not get her out of there. 'Hi Ryan' I said evilly, while Sky gesticulated wildly for me to shut up.

'This is Sky. Can I just say, I think you two would be really cute together, so you should give her your number.' They both blushed madly. 'You're welcome' I nodded at them and skated away towards Paige, who pretended to be scared of me and skated away quickly.

Afterwards we went to Eddie Rockets and took photos with Elise's old selfie stick. 'Throwback' I laughed. Paige sat in the corner and acted like she didn't know us and went on her phone, probably texting her 'friend' Leo. I looked over at her and smirked.

'Paige has a boyyyfriend' I teased her. She turned red. 'He's not my boyfriend' she said huffily and resumed texting him. 'Okay, okay' I said, holding up my hands in surrender. 'But he should be' I whispered.

Diana was telling everyone about our troll account 'hanna_forever' on PicCollage. 'That was the funniest thing ever' I said. 'We laughed non-stop on that sleepover!' she sighed happily.

Alison and Aisling were listening to Hazel talking about her boyfriend. 'Did I tell you he writes?' she said dreamily. 'And we're the only legit couple at work' she grinned proudly. Aisling clasped her hand under her chin. 'So cuuute!' she squealed. Alison rolled her eyes playfully. He was all she ever talked about. They were perfect for eachother.

When we got home, Skipper raced to the door with Hazel's white Abercrombie and Fitch hoodie in his mouth. It was her most prized possession from Ian. 'Dumb dog!' she screamed.

'Hey!' Paige said defensively, 'you're the one who said he could stay!' She glared at Hazel. 'Come on Skipper' she huffed jokingly. 'Sorry' I shrugged at Hazel.
