Episode 1 Something Different

Chapter 4

Standing in her room, Rachel couldn't help but smile, things were coming together nicely. She was getting ready for the concert and was currently trying on the outfit she planned to wear.

'Perfect, this should work, now I just need to...' She thought to herself.

She continued to ponder her plans and, once sure her outfit and everything else was perfect she removed it and simply pulled on some casual clothes. She then walked over to her phone and picked it up, sending a text to Steph.

"Hey Steph, making sure I have everything ready, will see you at the concert. Oh, I gave that last ticket to someone like you suggested, they'll meet us there...although they don't know I'm the one who sent it yet."

She grinned as she sent the message and laughed lightly at Steph's reply.

She had sent. "Got it, Rache, nice one, well, that'll be an interesting surprise, can't wait to see the look on their face."

Putting her phone down Rachel smiled, glad that things were getting underway, she knew this would be her best chance to finally talk to Chloe.

'I need to somehow get through that barrier she puts up around herself.' She reflected. 'Find the real person underneath, the one I've only seen glimpses of, I...Focus Rachel, remember that's not all.'

She composed herself and pushed the thoughts of Chloe out of her mind for now, she had something she still needed to do and now was the best time to do it. So she began to leave her room and make her way down the stairs.

Downstairs she found her parents, James and Rose, her timing couldn't be better she noticed for dinner had just been served and was ready.

"Oh Rachel there you are." Rose greeted her daughter with a smile. "Right on time."

Rachel grinned. "Thanks mom, hey dad."

"Rachel, how are you?" He replied, smiling.

They had all sat down at the dinner table and began to eat, as they did so Rachel replied.

"Pretty good, actually, there is something I meant to say." She paused and then revealed. "There's a concert being held tomorrow night by Firewalk, I've got a ticket and..."

James reacted at once. "Rachel, this is...are you sure about this, I mean..."

Rachel had anticipated this however. "Yes dad, I know. It'll be fine though, I won't be by myself. Steph was the one who gave me the ticket, we'll be meeting up there."

"Oh, Steph is going too." Rose remarked; smiling. "That should be lovely, she's a nice girl."

James nodded also relaxing; Rachel smiled, glad she had told her parents about her friendship with Steph; although they didn't know everything about her, they knew enough to know she was trustworthy.

James nodded. "Alright then, you and Steph have fun."

"Yes, perhaps she could help you meet some good boys too." Rose added.

Rachel just smiled at that. 'Oh mom, if you only knew...'

Still, she was happy to note that things had gone well, everything was now ready for the concert the following night.

In her dorm room, putting her phone down after replying to Rachel's text, Steph bit her lip.

'I...should I...urgh this is corny, but...I can't help it.' Steph thought to herself. 'I'm too nervous to say anything...I could try and at least lay the groundwork at the concert though...'

She sighed, try though she might, she couldn't bring herself to actually talk to Rachel about how she felt. So while feeling it was corny, she was unable to help herself and did what she felt was the next best thing. She honestly couldn't believe that she'd actually done this as she looked at the now finished love letter she had written to Rachel.

She shook her head. 'God, I am getting desperate...but, well, keep it as a backup.'

So, making up her mind, she stowed it away in a drawer in her desk and decided to leave it until after the concert. With that she told herself everything would be fine come the concert tomorrow and went to bed.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
