Chapter 9
Friday morning came quickly. Today is Lauren's 16th birthday. I quickly got ready at Finns house after I slept at his again. How could his parents just leave him at home as much as they do? When I explained to Rachel, she said it was fine to stay at his as long there was no "funny business".
"Finn! Will you come with me to mine? I need to get my suitcase and Laurens present! You better be packed!" I shouted up the stairs.
He ran down the stairs in his trackies and a vest top. Because we were leaving at 9, we were told we didn't have to come in uniform. I had on a pair of leggings with a geek jumper and my pink converse.
"You packed my suitcase babe, how can it not be packed?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in for a kiss.
"Shut up." I said hitting him lightly. He grabbed the handle of his case and started heading towards the door. I laughed as he struggled lifting it over the doorstep before making my way over to help him.
I got to my house and quickly picked up my hold-all from my room. I searched through my crafts drawer and finally found Laurens birthday present. I hope she likes it.
We were just about to leave when I realised Rachel's car was still on the drive.
"Rach! Will you give us a lift?" I yelled up the stairs. When she agreed, I heard Finn groan.
"As much as I didn't want to drag my suitcase to school, it's going to feel weird getting a lift off my head teacher." He whispered in my ear.
I laughed at him and started taking my bag to the car. I shoved it in the boot and helped Finn lift his in. It seemed he had packed for a week.
We were sat on the bus handing Lauren the presents. I knew Finn had forgotten, so I addressed mine off both of us.
"Getting joint presents! First signs of getting serious!" Lauren teased.
"Actually, I kind of forgot, Liv wrote her present off me too." He said honestly. But Lauren was too busy taking the wrapping paper off. I seen tears prick in her eyes and sighed. She doesn't like it.
"No Liv, you idiot! I don't have tears in my eyes because I don't like it! This must have taken you ages!" She said as the tears started falling.
I had got pieces of card and ribbon and decorated them with glitter pens, before getting as many pictures as I could and sticking them on the pages forming a memory book. I had even managed to get a picture with Tamara in this week in the common room, when her Madi and Lauren were talking about that night's episode of hollyoaks. They all looked so comfortable; I knew a picture had to be taken.
"Aw Liv! This is amazing! I didn't even realise you took all of these photos! Josh, there's one of you in the onesie Finn got you last year." Madi informed us as she looked over Laurens photo through the book.
"Olivia, Lauren, Madi, Lily and Tamara! I'm putting Zara in your room!" Rachel shouted down the bus.
"Who's Zara?" I heard Tamara say to Josh, who was sitting next to her.
Madi stuck her head round her chair. "The girl with the black hair at the front of the bus. I don't really get along with her, she's my partner in science, and she called me a tart the other day." She said disgusted.
Finn started laughing. "Madi, you called her friend an emo! Imagine if someone said something to Lauren or Liv, would you have sat and said nothing?"
"I suppose not." She grumbled. "But I'm not a tart! My skirt is way longer than hers!"
We all started laughing as Zara made her way down the bus. "Hi Zara." I said, smiling at her.
"You have converse?" she asked shocked. I waggled my foot and laughed.
"Yeah babe, I think everyone who can afford them has them. Although not many people have silver writing on there's!" I said laughing.
"Olivia, swap seats with Madi, I need to talk to you." Lauren demanded.
"But I don't want to sit with Madi." Finn joked. As she sat down I seen her hit him. "Serves you right babe. Now Lauren, what's the problem?"
And then Lauren launched into a huge story about how she has a phobia of sheep and she doesn't know if there will be any at the residential.
"It's not funny!" She shrieked as I started laughing my head off.
"Okay, okay, if there's any sheep, ill scream with you so you don't look as stupid." I told her.
"Is that mould?" Zara whispered as we walked into our room.
"BAGSY NOT SLEEPING ON THAT BUNK BED!" Me, Tamara, Lauren and Madi yelled. We looked at Zara and Lily expectantly.
"It's fine. Mould looks pretty." Zara informed us. I looked at her weirdly and walked over to inspected the green area.
"It's where they've started painting the walls." I said giggling.
Then I heard his voice. Coming from below us. Talking to his room mates, well yelling if we could hear him through the floor. I sat on the laminate flooring as did Lauren and Madi and put our ears to the floor. And then I knocked.
"Who the hells at the door?" I heard Finn ask.
"Some idiot who obviously legged it." Josh moaned when we heard the door close. So I knocked again. "PISS OFF!" Josh yelled.
I started giggling when Lauren started making ghost noises. We could hear them freaking out downstairs. This weekend is going to be great.
Hi all! i bet your probably getting annoyed with me updating so much now!
im kind of focusing the residential on a trip i went on in year 9. Sadly, for us, it was mould, so we moved the bunkbed into the centre of the room. One of my friends was in the room below us and we kept scaring them by banging on the floor! it was probably one of the best trips i had been on! About 4 years ago now mind!
Celticgirl84: it wont be like this in a couple of weeks when i start my second year in college! i thought picking childcare, most the work would be practical! but nope, im loaded in assignments. But its my 4 week holiday now and all my first year is complete! In a couple weeks, the updates will be only every few days :(
FeeDob26: Im glad she did too, it would have been good to put her and Josh as a couple but thats not possible :( thankyou very much for saying my story is amazing!
Maddiejean95: Im a shy person too sadly :( but since starting college, one of my new friends has apparently "brought me out my shell a little" according to most of my class :') I ope by the time we go back in August, they will have forgot and not mention it to her!
This may be the last chapter tonight but i might upload another one. Does anyone actually wach hollyoaks? I cant believe Trevor strangled the cop! :o
