Hello, so I was reading all the reviews I got for my promo for shiver and I realised two things

1- I said I'd finish this by January

2- I have still got loads of chapters planned

so I put the one-shots and pre-writing for shiver on hold and wrote this, I'll be updating more frequently now, trying to meet my deadline, I hope I do it :)

this chapter was a bit weird to write because I was writing about the character based off me being like romantic to someone else, so sorry if its a bit awkward in places. I really hope you like it

disclaimer: [insert witty disclaimer here] no, I don't own swac. And I've run out of ideas for disclaimers, so this is all you're getting. Sorry

James' pov

'James, you know what to do. Take her on a date, distract her from the competition, we win, you break her heart!' portlyn instructed me, the whole cast advancing with grim faces

'yeah, I know, I know' I muttered, turning away from them all 'I've done this before'

'so don't get it wrong!' Devon yelled, grabbing my shoulder and turning me around

'hey, get off me!' I shouted, shoving him off 'I'm going!'

'where are you going?' portlyn asked flirtatiously

'away from you!' I said roughly walking out and slamming the door angrily. I could hear muffled murmurs coming from all sides as I stormed past but I just kept going. I burst through the studio entrance and into the back garden, sitting down on a bench by the pond with my head in my hands

'James?' Riona's voice came from behind me. I turned to see her led on the grass taking in the sunlight. I saw she had one of the pink roses I got her clipped into her brown hair and smirked

'hey Riona' I said, walking around the bench to sit on the grass next to her and she sat up 'love the flower' I said knowingly and winked, plus, did I detect a faint blush on her cheeks?

'thanks, the flowers are beautiful' she complimented, raising one hand to the flower

'I know' I said conceitedly, but Riona sighed and led back onto the grass 'what?' I asked, lying next to her

'this is what I don't get about you' she said, propping herself up on her elbow

'what don't you get?' I asked, turning to her

'how you can be sweet one minute but then really conceited the next, its like Chad but, like, more!' Riona ranted,

'but its what you love about me!' I said smirking, but actually hurt by her words

'you see! There you go again!' she exclaimed sitting up and putting her head on her knees 'I cant stand it' she muttered

'hey come on, let me make it up to you' I said, mimicking her actions

'how can you do that?' she asked, lifting her head, but before I could answer my ex-girlfriend tawni walked out of the building

'Riona!' she yelled, running as fast as she could across the grass in high stilettos 'come inside now, we need you and-' tawni stopped as she saw me, and gasped dramatically '-and what are you doing with him?'

'I'm coming tawni' Riona called across to her 'gotta go' she mouthed to me, getting up and smoothing out her skirt. But as she started across the grass I reached out my arm and grabbed her hand

'wait!' I said, Riona turned to look at me

'what? She asked 'tawni wants me, and I really shouldn't be seen with you James!'

'well, can you be seen with me on date?' I asked, trying to be as sweet as I could

'huh?' Riona said 'after all that you still want to go on a date with me?'

'yeah, I do' I said, catching her hazel eyes with mine

'okay' she said, letting go and running back across the grass toward the door

'wait, Riona!' I shouted, standing up

'what now?' she said, holding onto the door

'I need your number, so I can ring you!' I said, walking toward her

'no, I'll have yours' Riona said cheekily, and I felt a rush of admiration for her as I wrote my number on her arm, she pulled her cardigan over it and smiled 'I'll text you!' she said before rushing inside

I watched her go before pulling out my phone 'its done'...

Riona's pov

'what. Was. That?' tawni demanded as we were walking back to the so random! Set.

'what was what?' I asked innocently

'why were you with James?' tawni spat, gesturing towards the door wildly

'well, I was in the garden sunbathing on the grass, then James stormed outside and sat on the bench. I said hi,. He said hi back, we got talking then mph..' I said, mumbling off at the end

'what was that?' tawni asked, putting a hand to her ear in a pantomime fashion

'doesn't matter. Oh look, we're here, lets go inside...' I said, distracting her with the news that we'd arrived at the prop-house

'oh, you found her?' Nico said, looking up from his video game. Everyone else looked up too

'yes, and guess who I found her with?' tawni said, as I stood there awkwardly feeling myself go red

'not James!' sonny said disbelievingly

'yes, James!' tawni announced tot he room while they all gasped overly-dramatically

'why was she with James?' Chad asked, from the sofa where he sat with his girlfriend

'well she said they met 'by chance' and they 'just talked' but then something happened and she wont tell me' tawni said, complete with the bunny ears signs

'what happened Riona?' sonny asked, getting up and walking over to me

'it doesn't matter okay!' I yelled, storming out in a similar way to James when he stormed into he garden. It seems we were both angry at our casts, so guess where I went?

'James!' I said, running back into the garden

'Riona? Your back already?' James said from the grass where he was still sat

'yeah, I'm sick of them, wanting to know what im doing and who I'm with at all times of the day' I said, sitting next to him again

'I know the feeling' James said, suddenly his eyes lit up and he got to his feet and held out his hand

'what are you doing?' I asked

'who says our date cant start now?' James said with an adorable smile on his face, I grabbed his hand and let him pull me up

'lets go!'

so, what d'ya think? This was quite quick to write, I've had major writers block for this story recently, but this came to me randomly so I had to get it down as soon as I could, so I hope you liked it

today, I went shopping, I took £25 with me and I bought a pair of black skinny jeans, 7 bows, a earl headband, a honeycomb milkshake, a lemon cupcake and some cat and dogs silly bandz. Money well spent I think ;-)

going to carry on watching xfactor, harry styles and matt cardle, you rock my socks (which is stramge cus im not wearing any ;-))

love

Riona
