"Are you serious, Calum?" Sascha asked obviously as she licked her Popsicle. "I didn't want to use him either, and you said to go with my sense of direction, so I did." I rolled my eyes as she continued lecturing me about her plan.

I quickly escaped by excusing myself to the toilet, which worked perfectly.

'Ariana, the breakfast is on the table, I'll be back after sorting the contracts. big news:)
-mum'

sascha walked out, eating her so called breakfast popsicle, while I started on mine.

I puked out my food. this has already gone bad.

I pulled out my spatula and pan. time to make some pancakes.

"Hello, morning" Ashton greeted in a happy tone, and I greeted back.

"Pancakes for everyone!" I yelled, and soon enough, tumbling and shoving could be heard as the guys walk down the stairs.

Alexa shoved her way through. "I'm the first customer," she smiled cheekily at me, while I mixed the ingredients.

"Sure thing,"

after finishing breakfast, they helped to clean up and went back to their respective rooms.

"Luke, what do you need?" i asked, and he stood there silent behind me. I closed the fridge door and turned to him.

what is he trying to do goddammit? firstly comes and goes I don't know what's on his mind.

"Nothing, just... nothing" he walked away, and i shrugged.

I couldn't care less, to be honest. if he doesn't care, why should I?

i rang mum up to inform her id be going for a little shopping in the nearby shopping mall, but Alexa decided to stay in and read Divergent, rather than go shopping.

I promised her to get her soy latte, and so I would.

Technically, I, no actually, my wallet is going to suffer because Sascha is with me, but most likely, she'd probably fund me.

I was quite surprised that calum asked all of us to dine at the nearby diner, but I didn't really think it was quite a great idea.

But, there was a change of plans so I decided to just go with the flow, and see how things go.

We're in the midst of picking a top and we've just got started. shop #1, basement 1.

"This one!!" sascha eagerly took it up and placed it on herself. "how does it look?" waiting for my answer, very impatiently. "Looks good to me," i smiled, as I tried to find another suitable size for her.

shopping with sascha isn't that easy. she would ask you a question, and even if you said no, she'll say yes, and it ends up the same way, she'll buy everything.

the fact that sascha spends her money like water, but she never runs out of it.

49 shops, 8 levels, and 35 bags. I plunged onto the couch, as I passed the sweaty cup of soy latte into Alexa's hands, and ironically, she left it back on the table top.

I was dead tired, and wondering where the guys went. Alexa said they went out to grab some stuff, she has no idea.

Since there were none of them to disturb me while doing my laundry, I quickly removed the tags and placed them in the washer, and turned it on full speed.

"Finally we went shopping, it's been ages," sascha walked into the kitchen with her mug. I rolled my eyes at her. "It's been only a week," i muttered softly, not wanting her to hear what I said.

"Alexa," i knocked on her room door and passed her the sweaty soy latte. "Thanks!" she smiled in reply and continued to be mesmerized in her book, totally forgetting that I passed it to her just a few minutes back.

I took a quick rinse to wash off all the dirt from my body, and got my comfy home clothes out, before hearing someone tripping, but there wasn't any complaints so I ignored it.

once again, I could hear some fumbling outside my room door.

"Who is-" I opened the door to Luke standing right in my face. "Okay," I started. "What's going on?" I stood there with my hands on my hips, demanding for an answer.

"Nothing, nothing, it's just nothing, I dropped my, my-" Although Lukes eyes were darting all over the place, as he stuttered, it was quite funny, and I couldn't help myself as I started to laugh.

he glared at me, before saying, "What's so funny?"

I continued laughing as i clenched my stomach in pain and held onto his shoulder for support.

I didn't realize it until Luke kissed me, and I stepped back. "Luke, what is this?" I shook my head, immediately stopped laughing.

"No, no, no" my voice started to get higher, as teardrops drip from my eyes like a faulty tap. I felt a set of arms around me, and I looked up to Calum. he stared at Luke, and yelled at him. "everyone has a chance Luke, I took my chance so don't fucking take my place!" he continued to throw profanities at him and soon, it became a profanity war.

I continued sobbing in Calum's arms, and was really depressed over this situation for over days, and I could cry it out. finally.

sooner or later, I knew someone was going to stop them and I was right. Ashton stepped into the picture as the eldest figure. He broke up the fight and sent us to our respective rooms.

I kept thinking to myself, why is Luke acting so weird? it was actually just something I could see though at first, but now, things have changed, and everything has turned foggy.

"Calum, I'm sorry, it was a mistake, I mean, I didn't kiss him back-" he shush me as I continued blabbing on and on, and I felt really bad. I mean, Luke and Calum are like buddies and I'm sort of tearing their friendship apart.

Michael, Sascha and Alexa opened the door, and they were standing there smiling, holding three tubs of ice cream and two bags of popcorn, with some movies.

I wasn't paying much attention to the movie, as I was lost in my thoughts.

"Ariana?"

"Ariana?" I heard a voice calling me another time as I snapped back to reality.

"great, you're thinking about Luke" I hear Calum mutter as I spoke back. "no, I'm not. I'm thinking that I've ruined your friendship between you guys, I'm a ruiner. that's what I do. " I stood up and huffed.

this whole situation is going no where, but all we seem to do is wanting to head there.
