Hello, the author here, firstly I want to apologise for this late update as I've been super busy with work and enrolling for my next year of uni so I haven't had the chance to write anything or upload anything till now, so due to this I'm going to upload a couple of chapters today to make up for it. Secondly I want to thank FrankElza for the lovely reviews on pretty much every chapter. Anyway here's the next chapter with three more of the characters getting ready for the camping trip.
"Morning girls." Roo said to the three girls who were just waking from their slumber.
"Morning Roo." The three of them replied at the same time.
"Breakfast is on the table, now my dad isn't feeling well so can you all be quiet which I know for teenage girls is hard to do especially with you going camping with your friends but try please."
The first to respond to the news of Mr Stewart not felling well, Maddy asked "What's wrong with him Roo? It isn't serious is it?"
Thinking it was best to reply quickly as she could see the worry in the girl she felt was her own daughter, "No sweetheart. My dad is fine he just has a common everyday cold which will clear it with some rest and chicken soup," Roo continued "So don't worry and just enjoy this trip away. Now this is from me and dad for Kyle. Its just a card but we just wanted to say happy birthday to him."
"Aww Roo, he wouldn't have wanted you to spend your money on card for him." Phoebe told her "Kyle would have been grateful if you just said happy birthday to him in person. Which is the reason I feel in love with him in the first place."
"Really? I thought you said the reason you feel in love with his was due to his amazing voice and guitar playing skills." Tamara replied to the rebel she had learned to love like a sister.
Agreeing with Tamara, Maddy said "Yeah Pheebs, I remember you saying that and pretty sure if we called the others they'd agree."
"Ok maybe there is two reasons I fell in love with that boy. Happy!" Phoebe replied to her friends.
Laughing as she closed the door and walked away Roo thought back to her first boyfriend (who was also her daughter Martha's dad) and how she fell in love with him due to his bad boy nature and wondered what the real reason was for Phoebe falling in love with Kyle.
"What are you doing?" Maddy asked Phoebe while Tamara was in the bathroom.
Without looking at her friend "I'm texting Kyle to say happy birthday."
"I know that's cute and everything but your going to be seeing him in about two hours. You could have waited you know." Maddy said as she looked at the girl in front of her.
"Please telling me she isn't texting Kyle a happy birthday?" Tamara said as she walked in and sat down on the bed.
"Why is everyone ganging up me this morning. Is it pick on Phoebe day or something?" Phoebe said with a kind of joking tone to her reply "Besides its always tradition, that I text him before I see him. Anyway now that we are all looking our usual beautiful selves can we please go downstairs and eat now cause I'm starving?"
With that Phoebe turned around and walked out of the room quietly, following her the other two laughed, picked up their stuff and walked out of the bedroom and followed in the direction of their friend.
"I do hope Mr Stewart is going to be ok."
Trying to reassure her friend Tamara replied "He will be fine Mads, you heard Roo he just has a common everyday cold which by the way he probably got from fishing. So don't worry and just think about the fun we are about to have."
Jumping in to the conversation, Phoebe also told Maddy "She's right you know? He goes fishing in all weather and the cold bug has managed to eventually catch up to him. So don't worry and like Tamara said just think about the fun we can have by playing pranks on the guys as I'm sure the other girls will be down for that."
"You know what you're right those boys need to have some pranks pulled on them after the amount of pranks they've played on us over the last couple of years. This is our time to get them back." Maddy joined in.
The girls carried on with their breakfast while continuing to come up with the best prank every to get back at the guys when Tamara's phone suddenly rang.
"Morning Casey. I'm fine and I'm assuming from the way you sound that you've just woken up, lazy bones. Yes you are and you know it. Did you tell Brax everything about the plan last night. That's alright then so what did you get Kyle for his birthday. What do you mean you didn't get him anything? Casey you got paid the other day as you told me when I went to meet you for lunch that while I was at work you were going to go shopping. Oh so you did go shopping, then why didn't you get him anything?" Tamara shouted down the phone.
Taking this as the best time to start packing up the car, Maddy and Phoebe cleared the table and put the rest of the food in the fridge and grabbed their stuff and walked out of the house agreeing that the phone call was going to end with another shouting match.
Not noticing what the other two girls were doing, Tamara continued her conversation with her boyfriend "Let me get this straight you had gone to get Kyle his birthday present when you walked past the videogame shop and decided to have a look and instead of just having a look you bought a brand new videogame which was £50 and then had no money left to buy Kyle anything. Well done Casey. He's meant to be your brother and all you cared about at that moment in time was yourself. You better come up with away of of getting him something our I'm going to tell Brax the truth about his new surf board!" with that she hung up.
Eventually realising that she was the only one in the room she got up grabbed her stuff and went outside. Walking to the car she could see that Maddy and Phoebe were already sat in it waiting for her.
"What's he done this time?" the two girls asked in unison.
"Went to buy Kyle's present and instead blew his wages on a brand new videogame for himself." Tamara replied to the two girls as she got in the car.
Starting up the car, Phoebe stated "So he was being his usual self then? You know I think you two seem to spend more time fighting than anything else?"
Agreeing with her friend, Maddy sparked up "She's right this time Tam. All you and Casey do these days is fight and that's not healthy for either of you and it isn't how a relationship is meant to be."
"I know but I love him. And before you say it I know its not enough if all we do it fight but what shall I do?" Tamara asked her two best friends in hopes they would come up with a solution.
Pulling out of the Caravan Park and heading in the direction of the Surf Club, Phoebe suggested "Maybe you should tell Casey you need a break from all the fighting and that you need some space, cause like Maddy said at the moment your relationship with Casey is starting to turn toxic."
"Ok I'll talk to Casey when we get a moment to ourselves and I'll tell that I want to take a break from the relationship." Tamara told them.
With that they continued driving to the Surf Club with the radio turned high and singing along to their favourite hits.
