Everybody slept in the next morning at around ten-thirty. I sat up, but the other two weren't awake yet so I listened to a bit of music while I tried to do some of my English homework about past, present and future tense, which was boring and hard to get your head around. Sophie stirred in her sleep and sat up, rubbing her eyes.
'Morning Lucie,' she said, her voice finally sounding like it used to.
'Morning,' I replied.
'Whatcha doing?' she asked, getting out of bed.
'English stuff,' I replied without looking up from my book.
'Ugh, I should start that soon,' Sophie groaned, finding an outfit in her bag.
Vanessa woke up as well. 'Morning,' she said brightly, getting up and going into the bathroom.
I decided to put my English things away and get dressed, then give mum a ring cos I hadn't talked to her for a while. I went and threw some clothes on, then got my phone and rang mum.
'Hello?' a sleepy voice said on the other end.
'Laura, can you put mum on?' I said, recognising my sister's voice.
'Okay,' she said.
There was a muffled sound and someone breathing in the background.
'Hello?' mum said. She sounded tired.
'Hi, it's Lucie; did I wake you up?'
'No, I've been up for a while,' Mum replied. 'So how are you going? What have you been doing? How's Zac going and how's the rest of them? How's the performing going? Have you been to any theme parks?'
'Whoa, one question at a time,' I said, then I told her all about our time so far.
'That sounds good, why didn't you go on the Giant Drop?' she asked when I'd finished.
'Mum, that is a dumb question, you should know me well enough,' I laughed.
'I guess so, well I have to go sorry Luce, so love you, bye, be careful,' mum said.
'Love you too, bye mum,' I said, then hung up and walked into McFly's room where everyone else was eating breakfast.
'Hi guys,' I said as I bounced in and sat next to Sophie.
'Somebody's had sleep,' Dougie said with his mouth full of food.
I nodded and reached for some toast.
'What are we doin today for our day off?' Sophie asked.
'I dunno what you girls wanna do?' asked Tom. We all shrugged.
'What about swimming or something like that? I think its warm enough,' Zac piped up.
'Yeah that sounds good,' Vanessa said.
'Yeah,' everyone else agreed.
'Well, swimming it is then,' Tom said.
---------
We all finished breakfast and then went and got changed to go swimming. Sophie and Vanessa had already gotten changed and were out of the room by the time I found my bikini and towel. There's nobody in here, I thought to myself as I got changed. All of a sudden, just as I was putting my bikini top on, the door opened and Zac walked in.
'Argh!' I screamed, covering myself with my towel.
'I'm sorry Lucie!' he exclaimed, throwing my phone on the bed and quickly leaving and closing the door behind him. I quickly finished getting changed and grabbed all the stuff I'd need and went to McFly's room again. When I walked in Sophie was covering Nate's back in sunscreen and Harry was doing Vanessa's.
'Can you do mine?' I asked Zac, passing him some sunscreen.
'Sure,' he said awkwardly and started putting it on me.
------------
We all made it to the beach at around eleven-thirty and it was packed! It was a hot day so there were people everywhere, surfing, body boarding, sunbaking and swimming. We threw all our stuff down and ran to the water, but it was freezing! Sophie, Vanessa and me walked up to it, got our toes wet and ran back out again to sit on our towels in the warm sun. It was a beautiful day. All the boys were bouncing around in the water, jumping over the waves and splashing each other. We all lay down with our eyes closed and listened to the guys who were yelling. All of a sudden they went deathly quiet. I opened my eyes and looked around, just as Zac and Dougie grabbed me and picked me up, taking me down to the water and Nate and Harry got Sophie, and Tom and Danny got Vanessa. 'No!' I squealed, kicking them and digging my nails into their backs. They carried me out to their waist deep and threw me out away from them. I landed in the water and came back up coughing, after having swallowed half the ocean! I stood up, fixing my top and boardies and jumped on Zac's back, pushing him under. He stood up and picked me up again. I got ready to be chucked under again but he didn't. Dougie had walked back in to the other guys and was sitting on my towel. Zac piggybacked me back and dropped me in the sand. It all stuck to the water and I had it everywhere!
'Come on guys, come into the water with us,' I said, trying to pull Tom and Dougie up at the same time and falling on my bum. They all eventually stood up and came with us again. I noticed Sophie and Vanessa were wet too, so they'd obviously dropped them in as well.
'Race?' Sophie suggested.
'Sure, ready set go,' Tom said.
----
Harry won our race, but not by much, Danny wasn't too far behind him. We swam around in the water for a while, dunked Harry under and all jumped on Tom to get him to under, because he wouldn't. We had fights on each other's shoulders; Harry and Dougie were crowned champions of that, beating everyone they versed. Then we all decided it was time for lunch, so while Zac, Sophie, Nate and me stayed on the beach looking after our stuff, the rest of them went and got fish and chips for lunch. Sophie and Nate started making out, so Zac and me went down to the beach and swam for a while.
'Hey, sorry for walking in on you before, I thought you were finished cos Sophie and Vanessa were,' Zac said apologetically.
'Its okay, no big deal,' I shrugged.
'Are you sure?' he asked.
'Yes,' I said.
'Okay, that's good then,' he replied.
'So how are you going over here away from your family?' I asked.
'Pretty good, Nate isn't doing too well though,' he replied.
'Yeah, I noticed he has been a bit drawn lately,' I said, watching him and Sophie race each other to a line they had drawn in the sand.
'Well, he's never really been away this long and yeah...you get the rest,' Zac said, watching them too. I nodded.
'Hopefully Sophie is looking after him,' I said. Zac nodded at me then pointed over my shoulder to McFly and Vanessa coming back down to the beach with arms full of drinks and fish and chips wrapped up in paper. Zac and me walked out of the water and went to our towels to dry ourselves off before lunch.
As the boys were walking down the beach, we heard a loud shriek followed by hysterical screams. A group of six girls had raced over to McFly, screaming 'Oh my God!! It's McFly!!' They went to try and hug them, knocking the drinks and fish and chips out of their hands, scattering them on the sand. One of the drinks got knocked out of Dougie's hands and sprayed everywhere. The boys meekly signed some autographs, posed for some pictures, then sent the girls on their way, picking up the chips and drinks as they went. Zac and me walked back over to them.
'Oi, don't start without us!' Zac said as he sat down, shaking his wet hair at everybody. Everyone else just shrugged, wiped the water off and kept on stuffing their faces. We had to brush sand off most of it.
'Hey where's my drink?' I asked, noticing everyone else had one except me.
'Well, it was the one that fell on the ground,' Dougie said, rubbing a red scratch mark on his arm.
'Oh,' I replied, stealing Dougie's and drinking half of it.
'Hey it wasn't my fault!' he screeched, snatching the drink back. I stole Zac's after that; he didn't seem to care much.
'Dan, your back looks a bit red,' Tom said, leaning out to get a closer look at it.
'I'll be right, I don't burn,' Danny said, putting a t-shirt on, but taking it off ten minutes later, complaining he was hot. We sat there eating lunch in the sun on the beach talking and laughing, having a great time.
After we finished lunch we all ran back out to the water. Danny, Harry, Dougie and Zac all tried to body surf, but they weren't all that good at it. Danny got nowhere when he tried and just swallowed a lot of water, Harry was alright at it but kept getting washed over by the waves, Dougie just completely sucked at it, face planting almost every time he tried, ending up covered in sand and seaweed and Zac was pretty good at it, til he cut his foot and had to go to the lifesavers to get a bandaid. After everyone had tried it, we went back into the beach and acted like little kids, building sandcastles and burying people's feet in the sand. Zac, Dougie, Danny and me made an epic one, with shells and stuff for decoration.
-------
After everyone had finished building their suckish sandcastles (apart from ours haha) McFly decided it would be fun to get me and bury me in the sand with only my head sticking out. Everyone joined in and within fifteen minutes I was covered in sand. Tom took a heap of pictures of my head sticking out.
'Ow, something's biting my butt!!' I screamed as something started pinching my bum cheek.
'Nah, you'll be right,' Dougie said dismissively and they went out into the water again, leaving me buried in the sand. I finally dug myself out and found a little shell poking into me. I pulled it out and sprinted down into the water. We played around again then built more random sand castles and ate ice-cream and drank soft drinks. It was an awesome day. We went swimming again, but it started getting a bit late and cold so we headed back to the hotel, getting sand all through the bus and making all the seats wet.
