I woke up the following morning, unsure of what had woken me up so suddenly, when I rolled over to see Claire looming over me holding the phone in her hand.
"It's for you!" she hissed, as if trying not to wake me, which was stupid as I was now awake, thanks to her. I took the phone off of her and waited for her to leave the room before answering.
"Yes?" My voice was still groggy from waking up and I couldn't help but be angry at whoever was calling me so early in the morning.
"Jen! Just calling to see if we were still on for later? Want me to come pick you up, say ten? I'll get the address from Sophia.. What d'you reckon?!"
He spoke so quickly I found it hard to figure out what he was saying, especially as my mind hadn't had enough time to wake up properly yet.
"Danny, are you okay?"
"Yeah! I'm great! A bit restless, I just had seven cans of Red Bull for breakfast-"
"Red Bull for breakfast? Seriously?"
"Yeah, well we had a giant box of them, and shared it out and dared each other to drink it and then – well, it's a long story involving Dougie, his skateboard and a feather boa. I'll have to tell you some other time, pick you up at ten then, yeah?" As he hung up, I could hear shouting and laughter from the others, all sounding very hyperactive as they ran around in the background. I began to laugh, until I noticed the alarm clock next to my bed read '9:30'.
Luckily I managed to get ready in just under twenty minutes, a knack I had mastered as a teenager. I was a very heavy sleeper and, more often than not, I would sleep through my alarm, making me late for school or work. I sat at the table eating breakfast when Claire sat down next to me with an expectant look on her face.
"So? Gossip?"
Here we go again. One of the things I find so funny about Claire; she has a grudge against all men on the planet, yet wants to hear every juicy detail about everyone else's relationships.
"What gossip?"
" A guy doesn't call you at half nine in the morning for nothing, Jenna. Who was it? How long have you been seeing him? Is he nice? Any friends that are single, my type and not scum of the earth?"
"We're just friends, Claire, honest. He's a friend from school, I haven't seen him in about three years and I bumped into him the other day; we're just going for a coffee and to catch up."
It took a moment for her to process my statement, and I found myself regretting saying anything as I noticed her expression change.
"Friend… School… Thr- Jenna, was that Danny?!"
I nodded. Me and my big mouth.
"Danny that broke your heart to move to London, Danny?"
"Yes."
Danny that left you alone with no contact for three years, not even to see if you were okay, whilst he went to join his boy band, Danny?"
"Yes."
"Jenna! Are you seriously going to let him come crawling back into your life after everyth-"
"Claire, seriously, we're just going for coffee. He said he wanted to explain all of that, he seemed genuinely sorry and-"
"What happened to 'I don't care about him anymore, it's his loss' Jen-"
She was cut off, mid-rant by the doorbell ringing. Saved by the bell. I rushed to the door, bidding goodbye to Claire and grabbing my bag on the way out.
This is not, repeat NOT, the full chapter.. which explains the shortness. )
The main bulk of this chapter is half-written, but I though I'd post this anyway, because I feel guilty for not writing anything for a while and I have to go shower and my Dad wants to run a scan on my computer and all that jazz.
But ANYWAY. tell me what you think please?
the mcfly-style-begging-tune shall be updated when I upload the rest of this chapter.. requests for the tunes please. D
Anywayyy, bye.
