Shauna and Alice were sat on the train on their way to Bristol.

"I'm actually quite excited to be coming with you. And mum said I could stay the night too!" Shauna said.

"Yeah it's a shame it's only for one night though. And that Missy couldn't come. If she could it would have been just like old times." Alice said.

"I'm really eager to meet Danny like!" Shauna said.

Alice's eyes narrowed. "I don't think we'll be seeing him."

"We will, I told him I was coming down and he said he wanted to meet me. We've been talking on facebook and since you not interested I decided to see if we have anything in common. You got a problem with that?" Shauna asked innocently.

Alice's head whipped round. Then she regained her composure. "Of course not, he's a free agent." Alice said through clenched teeth. "I don't care. You can have him! I don't love him anymore anyway!" she said firmly.

"Well you won't care if I go out on a date with him. He hasn't asked me yet but I think he will. He was really enthusiastic about my photos on facebook."

I hate you! Alice thought. She then smiled and said "Sure. Even though you came down here to spend time with me!"

"If me and Danny hit it off I could be down here a lot. He seems like a nice guy." Shauna mused.

"He is a nice guy Shauns. We just didn't get along. Do me a favour though Shauns. Don't mess him around yeah. He doesn't deserve to be hurt." Alice said.

"Thought you didn't care." Shauna asked.

"I don't. Doesn't mean I wanna see him hurt and you Shauna have left a trail of broken hearts a mile long!"

"If you have a problem with me going out with him just tell me and I won't!" Shauna said.

Alice shook her head. "Go. Flirt have a good time." she said. Inside though Alice was furious. How could Shauna do that to her?

They arrived at Alice's house and the first person they seen was Josh. Shauna looked at Alice and she nodded. She loved that they still had that silent communication. It had come in handy a lot as kids.

Josh smiled a huge grin and offered his hand to Shauna. "Hello I'm Josh and who are you?" he asked flirtingly.

Shauna looked at his hand and then crossed her arms. Josh's face fell. She took a step forward. "I know exactly who or should I say WHAT you are!" she told him. She looked at him with disgust and walked away with Alice.

They went into Alice's room and placed their bags in the corner.

"Unfortunately he has the spare bed!" Alice said in disgust.

"Hey don't worry bout it. It'll be like those sleepovers we had as kids." Shauna replied.

"What like the ones where I went home covered in bruises because you had a dream about having karate lessons!" Alice asked.

Shauna grinned. "I still remember those moves." and did a karate chop. "Where's your bathroom?" she asked.

"It's 2 doors down. Next to Josh's bedroom. You can't miss it. Watch out for him. He's left me alone these last few months but a leopard never changes their spots you know." Alice said worriedly.

Shauna grinned cockily. "I'll finally be able to use those kick boxing lessons my dad forced me to go to. Don't worry about me. It's him who'll need the help if he starts!"

"I knew there was a reason I was scared of you!" Alice said laughing.

Shauna left Alice's room and was about to walk into the bathroom when Josh came put of his room and placed his had on her arm.

"Get that hand off me before I break it off!" She said in false sweetness.

"You shouldn't believe HER - she came on to me and I knocked her back so she tells everyone I tried to rape her!" he said.

Shauna raised her eyebrows. "God your fucking stupid. Who do you think I believe? The friend I've known my whole life. Who's never lied to me. Helped me through tough times. Who's practically my sister or you? An insignificant, dirty plebeian rapist. Oh and if your wondering what plebeian mean it just means vulgar person! Oh and if you EVER go near my friend again I'll find you and make her knee to your family jewels look like child's play!" she told him in a deadly voice. "Have a nice day!" she added in a cheery voice. She then entered the bathroom.

That's it! Josh thought. Even if it took months he was gonna get Alice. That bitch wasn't getting away with this! He started planning.

Later That Day

"C'mon Alice. I wanna see some boys!" Shauna exclaimed. "I don't wanna sit and watch you brood in your bedroom!"

"Ok then!" Alice said. "But you've got to play some football then." There Shauna would say no. She got sweaty for no-one!

"What the hell. I'll just throw some trackies on. You haven't got a pair you could lend me have you? I didn't bring any." Shauna said.

Alice was in shock. What was going on. She didn't even walk on mud if she could help in and now she's saying she'll actually run around?

She went in her wardrobe and pulled our her baby blue tracksuit bottoms. Danny had said they complimented her eyes. "Biggest ones I've got. Should fit you. Your not that much taller than me." Shauna pulled them on. God they're better on her than are on me Alice thought. Then again Shauna had always been considered the gorgeous one in their group. She was gorgeous too. No wonder Danny was eager to meet her! Big brown eyes and long brown hair. She was also stick thin without even having to try and when she smiled her whole face lit up. As soon as Danny seen them together he'd forget all about her and become putty in Shauna's hands. She pulled on her white ¾ trousers and her white vest top. She looked at her arms. She'd picked up a nice brown tan recently. She pulled on her lacoste trainers.

"C'mon then." she said and forced a smile. "We're off to Clarkies park."

Alice and Shauna walked along. Alice had her football and was slowly dribbling it along the street. She passed it occasionally to Shauna who missed it both times. Both girls had laughed. They arrived at the park. There were some kids there already playing football. Alice scanned the crowd and saw Danny score a goal. He cheered and was smiling. Couldn't he have gotten ugly during the time she'd been away? He spotted her and his smile faded and he lowered his arms.

"Come on introduce me then!" Shauna said eagerly.

"Why wait for me - just jump in like you usually do!" she said gesturing wildly with her arms.

"Oh yeah - I'd better, you'll distract them with your gorgeous eyes and then I won't have a look in!" Shauna said.

Alice laughed. "Yeah right!" she exclaimed. "We both know that you're the gorgeous one Shauns."

They looked over at the boys and noticed that they had seen them and were walking towards them. Danny had stayed at the back.

Alice smiled. "Hi, me and my friend fancy a game of football. Can we join you?" she asked. "I'm Alice and can play pretty well. And Shauna well she can barely walk never mind kick a ball straight."

"Excuse me!" Shauna shrieked.

Alice smiled wider. She was proud of herself. She hadn't looked at Danny at all.

"You can both join Trevanion's team. Like my team need 2 girls you'll just get in the way!" A boys said.

"What's your name?" Alice asked.

"Jack." the boy replied.

"Well Jack by the end of this game you'll be eating your words coz I'll have kippered you at least twice!" she said cockily.

"And I bet you won't have!" he retorted.

"Let's make this interesting then!" she said.

"Ok I bet you a kiss that you don't kipper me!" Jack said.

"Your on!" Alice replied shaking his hand.

"Easiest kiss I've ever earned!" Jack said.

Alice then walked over to Shauna and introduced them to their team mates. "That is Steven. Liam, Luke Andrew and Danny." she said pointing to the individuals. Shauna went and shook everyone's hands. She then turned and smiled at Danny. Danny tried to tear his gaze from Alice as she laughed at something Luke said but he couldn't. God he loved her smile. And she looked so gorgeous in those white trousers and t-shirt. Loose tendrils of hair flowed around her face. Shauna elbowed him and then made a face as if to say, c'mon play along.

Danny rolled his eyes.

"Hi Shauna." he said and beamed her his best smile.

"Your as cute as your pictures." she said.

"Um thanks." he said a little lost as to what to say.

Shauna smacked her hand off her forehead. Alice wasn't looking over. She wasn't even bothered. Alice wasn't daft. She suspected they were up to something. It was time to play hard ball! She grinned wickedly. "Hey Danny, can you explain to me the offside rule." she asked.

"Yeah!" he said and stood behind her. "Now this he knew what he was doing. A player is offside when he is nearer to the other team's goal than both the ball and the second last other player. Just make sure that your behind the all at all times. And on that side of the other player." he pointed to a patch of grass behind Steven. "Hey Stevie don't move for a sec yeah!" he said.

She grabbed his hands and place them on her hips and placed hers on top so he couldn't remove them. "Move me to where I can go!" she purred.

Alice looked over and was furious.

"I don't like this Shauna!" he said softly.

"It's working!" she insisted. "Just play along!" she said.

"I haven't a clue what we're playing never mind playing along!" then he shook his head. "Why is this necessary?" he asked.

"Because she is trying to convince herself that she doesn't love you and if she does then your history! My flirting with you keeps her feelings close to the surface because I can tell she can't bear to see you with another girl never mind her best friend." she said as if he was stupid.

"Yeah like that was obvious!" he muttered.

"God boys know nothing!" she replied.

Danny struggled. "I will NEVER understand woman!" he said.

Shauna patted his face. "That's why flowers were invented!"

"Your team ready Trevanion?" he asked.

"Give us 5 yeah?" Danny replied.

"Right here everyone." Danny shouted. "Liam and Luke I want you in defence. Steven your in goal. Me Andrew and Shauna will be in midfield and Alice you can be our lone striker upfront. I know how much you like your lone position!" he said bitterly.

"Yeah and we both know why Shauna's in midfield with you don't we!" she retorted back quickly.

Their eyes narrowed as they looked at each other.

"Ok people here's how it is. I want lots of crosses and through balls. Quick pace, quick passing, Don't let them pressure you. They can't handle set pieces so high balls will frustrate them." Danny said.

Alice had walked off to talk to Jack. "Don't think your gonna win that kiss!" she said.

"I'm looking forward to it actually!" Jack said and winked.

They flipped a coin. "Tails." she called. She won.

"We get kick off." she shook his hand. "Good luck. With me on this team your gonna need it!"

"It's working Danny. See!" Shauna said.

"All I see is us arguing!" he replied and walked away.

They started playing but Alice's game was off. Every time it seemed that she had the ball Shauna would touch Danny and she'd either hit the ball too hard or too soft and she'd even fell over once. Like she had when Shauna had kissed his cheek. The ball had been at her feet about to score a goal and she'd kissed him. She'd promptly fell over the ball and the goalie gathered the ball and sniggered at her. She punched the grass in frustration. God Shauna could be a bitch! She had to know what she was doing to her and they didn't care! The game came to a end and Alice felt shit. Alice's team had won - barely.

"Well Alice." Jack said. "You didn't kipper me like you said you would. So I'm here to collect on my bet."

Right time to put Danny firmly in his place. She'd show him she was over him.

"Ok!" she said. Jack walked over and kissed her softly on her cheek.

She saw the relieved look on Danny's face.

"You call that a kiss?" She grabbed Jacks face. "This is a kiss" she said and pressed her lips to his and kissed him deeply.

Danny went to walk over. He wasn't watching this No freaking way! Shauna grabbed Danny's arm. "She's testing you. Don't react!" she hissed.

"Don't react?" he asked incredulous. "I'm gonna kill him!" he replied.

"Look into my eyes pretend you haven't noticed." she said and held his hand in hers facing him.

Danny calmed his breathing this wasn't working! If they didn't separate in 5 seconds Danny wasn't being held accountable for his actions! 5,4,3,2.

Alice finished kissing Jack. His face was flushed. "Wow nice kiss!" he said.

Alice looked over and saw Danny staring at Shauna with a funny look on his face. He hadn't even noticed her kissing another boy. God she was steaming angry now and she didn't even know why!

She smiled a small smile at Jack. "Yeah. Bye." she said.

"C'mon Shauna we're going home now!" she shouted.

"I'll be a minute!" Shauna replied.

Before Danny could guess her intention she placed a quick kiss on his mouth. "You'll have her back tomorrow." she told him and winked.

God - girls! Was all he thought. When did everything get so hard?
