All known stuff belongs to their actual owners

Chapter 6

We all woke up early, again. But, I suppose that was only to be expected. We decided to do something different that day, rather than shopping and DVDs, we decided to listen to music and avoid DVDs at all costs, and maybe sit up near Mandy for a bit.. so we woke her up.

"Lolly, bounce on her or something." I whispered to Lil' Lolly. I thought it would be a good way to wake Mandy up. She wouldn't mind. Well... at least I thought that she wouldn't mind.

So Lauren jumped on her, waking her up instantly. She took a moment, then she looked like she was about to shout at Lolly, but instead we just laughed for a bit. Then we insisted that we would do more travelling than normal that day, because we fancied it. She, surprisingly, agreed. And told us,

"What a marvellous idea! Might be able to shorten our time on the road by a day or two, eh?"
"Yeah, the sooner we get there, the sooner we meet them the better!" I said.
"So... double the travelling?" Anita asked.
"Basically." Mandy replied.
"Sweet!" We said in canon.
"Lets... never... do that again..." Anita said. We all nodded.

I looked in the food... thing... and found Lolly's Philly bagels were (somehow) still nice and edible. It was a good job to be honest, because I knew I would need to save the remainder of my money. Bagels and stuff we bought with us from England would just have to do.

After having my bagel, I picked out a selection of music to play, then I had another brainwave, basically a van singalong/dancealong, where we play the music really loud, and sing and dance to it, better than the school we were missing, anyway... except for maybe drama and music, and I missed going on MSN. For obvious reasons, there was no wi-fi in a moving camper van. I couldn't send letters because I wouldn't be able to get any replies and I couldn't text Jess because... I suddenly realised that there was one person from school I could text... so I got out my mobile, flipped its keyboard out and began typing. That text was gonna cost, but it was worth it.

I hit send, and felt relaxed and relived, so I threw my phone back in my bag and grabbed my CDs. I picked a few good ones to sing and dance to, and put them by the CD player that had already been there when we came. I then told Lolly and Anita what we were going to do. I didn't tell Jess, because she was sat on her bed, reading New Moon, and my copy at that. Well no extra fun for her! Besides, she'd probably kill it. I did, however, take my books back off of her.

I was about to put the first CD on, before I stopped, when I realised that I should let Lolly and Anita choose, so I handed the pile over to them and told them to choose. It wasn't my personal road trip, so I thought they deserved a chance to choose too.

When they finished choosing, they put the first CD in, and put the tracks they chose on. They chose a song which was better for singing to first, so we had a load of fun singing together to it.

An hour and a half later, we were all knackered, we were all ready for a nap and it wasn't even lunchtime. Not that when we had meals really even mattered, but I'm sure you can catch my drift.

We all collapsed on our beds, and we forgot about Jess, who was, by this point, a bit angry with me, so she sat on me.

"Jess... what is it now?"I asked, in my annoyed, exhausted voice.
"Why couldn't I join your 'party'?"
"Because you stole my books.... Jess you really aren't heavy enough to hurt me when you sit on me... even if I am... half asleep..." I yawned.
"Oh well..."
"Go away... eat some... cheese..."
"Ok. And by the way, I didn't steal your books, I borrowed them." She said, whilst getting off of me.
"Same thing..." I said, whilst drifting away to the land of nod.

When I woke up, I was wide awake again, and everyone else was sat on both of the bottom bunks, Anita and Jess on Anita's bed, and Lolly on mine... did I mention I was a heavy sleeper?

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" I said, rubbing my eyes.
"Oh... you just missed dinner..." Lolly said.
"What did you two carnivores have?" I said, referring to Jess and Lolly, Anita was veggie, like me.
"Bacon Bagels..." Jess said.
"I had two Philadelphia bagels and some crisps." Anita said.
"Trying to eat all thousand bagels Lolly bought?"
"They only stay nice for so long... it's just not fair..." Lolly said, stifling her sobs.
"Bagels are fine, Lol... I'll just go get some bagels and crisps... or something..." Honestly, I was getting sick of bagels, but I wasn't going to tell Lauren that, I mean, for being almost half a year older than me, she's pretty small and cute, like a puppy, or a kitten.

I got my dinner and sat back down on my bed, finding that Lolly had switched places with Anita.

"Oh, hi Anita. Switch places with Lol?"
"Jess was getting bored of me."
"Oh, I'll fix that." I said, going off to sit on her, like I did in France, which nearly gave her an asthma attack, even though she doesn't actually have asthma, which is weird.

I put my dinner down on my bed, went over to jess and pushed her down, and sat on her.

I sat there a few seconds, before deciding she had enough and getting off of her.

"You okay, Jess?"
"Kaisha, you just sat on me – again! Do you think I'm okay?"
"Yep!"

I laughed at myself for saying that, then, as is nothing had happened, we all went back to eating and drinking and chatting for the rest of the evening, and we had a lovely, late night.
