During the remainder of the week nothing happen, Ali hadn't really talked about her counselling session, we all went to school and I went to detention. I wasn't happy when my detention on Friday afternoon end because the starting of next week I would have to start swimming, Ali kept telling me it wouldn't be too bad but we both knew it would be; she had said she would come with me and that made it a little better. I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off which confused me since it was a Saturday, I then remember I was going to play some basketball with some of Noel's friends.

I hear Ali say "Can you turn that off please?" we had spent the night at my place for the first time in weeks but I didn't mind which house we stay at, as long as I was with Ali I was fine. I tapped around for my clock, when I found it I hit the off button.

Ali said "Thank-you."

I replied with "Your welcome."

I say "I'm going to go shower before getting ready; Noel's picking me up from your place a bit before 12. What time are the girls coming over?"

Ali replied with "Okay, 11am." I pulled the cover back from me and hopped out of bed, I watch as Ali pulled the cover back over and further up her to snuggle into it to go back to sleep.

I smile at her and say "Alright," I then lean over and kiss the top of her head. I walked over to my desk to grab my clothes and towel that I put out before going to sleep last night, I walked out of the room closing the door behind me and then walking across the hall to the bathroom to shower. After showering I quickly got dried and dress, pulling my hair up into a ponytail I then left the bathroom walking into my room I find Ali still snuggled up in my bed. I can't stop the smile coming up on my face she is so adorable, Noel had filled me in on the details of tonight when there was no one around including the girls.

He told me there would be some drinking and some drinking game but told me he made it clear to the guys if I got uncomfortable they were to stop or they would be ask to leave. Noel told me all I need to drink was clothes and some sunnies if I had them, I understood why I need the sunnies just in case we get really wasted tonight I had something to cover my eyes from the bright sun tomorrow. I quickly packed everything I thought I would need I back some of my CDs that I thought the guys would like, I pack my clothes and my sunnies. When I was all packed up I looked behind me to find Ali still asleep; she looks so adorable. I walked over to the bed and sat down on it, watching Ali sleep for a while before leaning down and kissing the top of her head again.

I said "Come on Ali time to wake up," I lightly shook her making her groan and push my hand way to then roll away from me.

I smile and say "Now as cute as that is you have to wake up," again I lightly shook her getting a groan in reply. I lightly started to trace patterns on the back of her neck which was more ticklish than anything else, she tired moving away from me but it didn't work.

She then started to laugh and said "Okay, okay I'm awake," Ali rolled back over to and smiled up at me.

I say "Hey."

Ali replied with "Morning, what time is it?"

I looked at the clock and answered with "Its 10:15am."

Ali said "I got to get home, shower and get ready for them."

I replied with "Yeah you do, I've already packed all my stuff up so I can come over with."

Ali smiled and said "Thank-you, you are amazing."

I replied with "I know I am."

Ali said "Come on let's getting over to my place."

I replied with "Okay," we hopped up from my bed Ali grabbed all her stuff while I got my bag. We left my room heading downstairs I saw Mum was in the lounge room watching TV while eating her breakfast, I quickly told her we were leaving and she said bye and told me to have a good time at Noel's. Walking out of my house we head across the street to Ali's house, in the kitchen is where we went to find Ali's Mum in there.

Ms D said "Good Morning girls."

Ali replied with "Morning Mum," I just smiled and waved at her.

Ali asked "Mum are you able to feed Emily while I go get ready," Ms D was going to be leaving just as the girls were to arrive.

Ms D said "Sure thing, anything you would like Emily."

I replied with "Thanks but I can make it myself."

I saw Ms D smile in relief and saying "Thanks Emily, I have to finish packing," she then almost sprinted out of the room.

Ali said "Are you sure?"

I replied with "Ali I know how to cook, I remember where everything is; so go shower and get ready."

Ali said "Okay, okay I'm going."

I said "Wait before you go, do you want anything to eat?"

Ali answered with "No I'm right, I'll make myself something to eat when I'm finished but thanks."

I smiled and said "Okay go shower," Ali walked out of the kitchen and head upstairs. I went over to the bread bin to grab two slice of bread placing them on the beard board that was always on the bench; in the fridge I grabbed the cheese, tomatoes and butter. I brought them all over to the bench and place them down next to my pieces of bread, going over and turning the grill on. I then start to butter my piece of bread, I moved onto chopping a tomato, before slicing up some cheese and placing the cheese on the button and placing the tomato on top. When I was happy with how they looked I carried them over to put under the grill and let them cook. While they were cooking I cleaned up after all my mess, I then grabbed a plate and stood around waiting for them to cook.

I was sitting on the bench waiting I heard the water turn off upstairs telling me Ali had finished showering, I hopped off the bench and pulled the grill out to see that they were both ready. I grabbed a knife and my plate; I turned the griller off before scooping them up one at time and putting them on my plate. I walked over to the bench in the middle of the room and cut them both in half and then placed the knife in the sink.
I went over to the fridge to find a bottle of orange juice I picked that up place it on the bench before grabbing two glasses from the cupboard, I place them on the bench and poured Ali and I both some orange juice. After putting the orange juice back into the fridge I went over to the bench and start to eat my food and sipping at my orange juice. A few minutes later Ali walked into the kitchen with her hair still went but wearing some small short shorts and a light blue shirt.

Ali said "My Mum said to say bye."

I replied with "Okay bye."

Ali smiled and said "That looks good, is this mine?" she asked while pointing at the other glass of orange juice.

I replied with "Yeah it is."

Ali said "Thanks," she picked up her glass orange juice to take a few sips of it.

I asked "Do you want some of this?"

Ali replied with "No it's fine, I'll make myself some toast."

I said "Come on you know you want some, I won't mind at all."

Ali sighed and replied with "Fine but only because you twist my arm," Ali picked up one of halves of my grilled food and start to eat it while also taking sips of her orange juice.

When we finished our food Ali told me just to put my glass and plate into the sink so I did as I was told, we then went into the lounge room to watch some TV while waiting for the girls to get here. When the clock hit 11'aclock the doorbell rang, I said "That'll be Spencer."

Ali replied with "Yeah probably," Ali then stood up from sitting next to me and open the door, I couldn't see who it was but I heard Spencer voice.

I smiled and shouted out "I told you!" I head Ali laugh before both her and Spencer walked into the lounge room.

Spencer said "Hey Em."

I replied with "Hey Spencer," Ali sat back down next to me and Spencer sat across from us.

We did some more talking before the doorbell rang again, Ali stood up and I said "I'll go get it for you Ali."

Ali smiled and replied with "Thanks Em," Ali sat back down and I stood up, to walk over to the front door.

I opened the door to find Aria standing there; Aria smiled and sat "Hey Em."

I replied with "Hey Aria," I held the door back a bit to allow her to come in to the house. I closed the door and lead Aria into the lounge room; she placed her stuff next to Spencer before taking a seat next to Spencer, I sat down next to Ali.

Aria said "Hey Girls."

Ali replied with "Hey Aria."

Spencer said "Hi Aria and Hanna is late what a surprise."

Ali replied with "Not really, but Mona still is to come."

Spencer said "Mona's coming? You didn't tell us that."

Ali replied with "Sorry it spilled my mind, though I thought I told you."

Aria said "It's fine we like hanging out with Mona."

I replied with "Good," We started to do some small talk before the doorbell once again rang; I stood up before Ali could and head towards the door.

I opened it up to revile both Mona and Hanna standing there; I smiled and said "Hey."

Hanna replied with "Hi."

Mona said "Hey Em," I opened the door more to let them in and they walked in. I closed the door to then lead them into the lounge rom where the other girls are, I sat down next to Ali and Mona and Hanna sat on another lounge chair together.

Mona said "Hey girls."

Hanna also said "Hey Girls," they all replied to both of them with hellos.

Spencer asked "So have you planned anything for us to do tonight Ali?"

Ali replied with "Not really I thought we'd wait down here for Em to leave before really doing anything."

Hanna asked "Where are you going Em?"

I answered with "I'm playing basketball with Noel and some other girls, before going to his cabin to sleepover."

Aria said "That sound be fun."

I replied with "Yeah I'm hoping so."

Ali asked "Do you have everything you need?"

I said "Yeah I do, are you sure you're okay with me going?"

Ali replied with "Yes Em, I'm fine with you going."

I said "Okay cool."

Mona asked "Do you know what you guys will be doing?"

I replied with "Noel said we played a couple games of basketball, then get some food and maybe see a movie before going up to his cabin to do who knows what." We spent the rest of the time just talking about random different things, before the doorbell rang. I stood up from sitting on the lounge and walked over to the door; to open it to find Noel.

I said "Hey Noel," I held my hand out for him to shake which he did.

Noel replied with "Hey Em."

I asked "I take it you want to come in and see your girlfriend?"

Noel answered with "What do you think?"

I smiled and said "Come on in Noel," Noel smiled before walking inside.

Noel walked into the lounge room behind me and said "Hello Ladies," they all replied to him differently. He just walked over to Mona and the two starts to make out.

Ali said "Hey keep it clean you two!"

Noel pulled back and replied with "Sorry."

I said "You are not."

Noel replied with "Okay I'm not but I still said it."

Noel asked "Are you ready to go?"

I answered with "Yeah, now Ali are you sure you're okay with me to go?"

Ali replied with "Emily I am totally fine with you going, I have the girls here and they won't be living until you get back so I'll be fine okay."

I nodded and said "Okay, you four look after her and don't hurt her or you have me to deal with." They all nodded their head pretty quickly making me smile; I quickly went over to kiss Ali on the top of the head; before grabbing my bag and leaving with Noel.

After parking the car Noel and I hopped out of the car, Noel quickly grabbing a basketball from the boot before we walked over to the courts. We arrived at the court to see eight other guys standing around talking to each other, we head over to them and I looked at all of them a few I've seen around at school, others I haven't.

Noel said when we were closer "Hey boys," they all replied with hellos.

Noel said "Oka introduction everyone this Emily, Emily this is Scott, Daniel, Robert, Aaron, Zach, Zeke, Tim and Mason," Noel pointed at each of them when he said their names.

I smiled at them all and said "Hey thanks for letting me come play."

Zeke replied with "Its fine."

Mason asked "How are we going to do teams Noel?"

Noel replied with "I thought Emily and Robert can be the team captains and choose their teams."

Robert said "Sounds good to me," they all looked at me and I just nodded my head."

Noel said "Okay, Emily gets to go first."

I smile and say "Noel."

Robert said "Scott."

I say "Zeke."

Robert said "Mason buddy get over here."

I say "Aaron."

Robert said "Tim."

I look between the two before saying "Daniel."

Robert said "Zach come on over here, we want you on our team." Our teammates we had chosen had walked over to us, once we had said their names.

Noel said "Okay quick team meetings before will get started," we all turned into group huddles.

I asked "Did I pick a good team?"

Noel replied with "Yeah you did Em."

Aaron asked "So what's the plan?"

Noel said "Get the ball, don't be selfish and let's just have fun."

I smile and say "I like the sound of that."

Daniel replied with "Okay lets go and kick some but."

I say "I also like that too," we all laugh before breaking from our huddle and walking over to the court. Robert's team broke from their huddle and walked over to us, we all shook hands before Noel throw the ball up in the air for Zeke and Scott to try to get the ball. Zeke was able to flick the ball back over to Aaron, who was able to run around Tim easily. Aaron passed it off to Noel just in time before he got squashed by Scott. Noel run down the court with Robert close behind him, Noel passed the ball over to me and I was able to do a lay-up to score the first score.

Zach shout out "She just not a pretty face," I smile at the comment before focusing back on the game. Mason throws the ball back into Tim, who sprinted off down the court with Daniel trying to chase him down. Tim passed it off to Robert who Noel was screening his moves to either to run or pass off. Tim tried to do the fake left thing but Noel wasn't having any of it, he was able to steal it off him to then pass it off to Zeke. Zeke brought the ball back into our half of the court, Zeke throw it over the head of Time to get it into Daniel's hands. Daniel was quickly being defended by Zach but Noel ran passed him to get the ball into his hands and go in for a lay-up and scores another two points for us.

When Noel's phone made a really loud beeping tone for his phone it told us all it was halftime, we all breathed a sigh of relief it was a very long 20 minutes. We all head over to where all their stuff was to have a good break, I sat down on the grass straight away and the others all grabbed their water bottles.

Noel asked "Didn't you bring a bottle Emily?"

I replied with "No I forgot to pack one."

Noel said "Lucky I pack an extra one for you."

I smiled and said "Really?"

Noel replied with "Yes really," Noel pulled two bottles of water out of his bag and brought them over to me; he hand one to me before sitting down next to me.

I asked "Does anyone know the score?"

Zeke replied with "Its 22-18, we're just in front."

I nodded and said "Thanks Zeke."

Noel said "Emily I never knew you could play basketball and by the looks of it you like to play it."

I replied with "Yeah I really do like playing basketball, it's fun."

Robert asked "How come you're not on the schools team?"

I answered with "I was a better swimmer then basketball."

Scott said "But our not on the swim team either."

I replied with "I was going to be but then stuff happened and I quit."

Noel asked "You mean Ali right?"

I answered with "That would be it."

Daniel said "Will you join either team now that she back?"

I replied with "The stupid schools making me re-join the swim team, even though I absolute hate it now."

Tim said "Can they actually make you join it?"

I replied with "I don't know but they are, I've told them they can't force me into the pool so I'll be sitting in the bleachers."

Aaron said "Great way to protest."

I smiled and answered with "That's what I thought, but I really don't want to be in that building."

Mason asked "Can I ask a question?"

I nodded my head and Mason asked "Why are you so against swimming?"

I sighed and said "I'm not against swimming, it just brings back all the memories of losing Ali, losing my friends and there not memories I want to remember."

Zeke said "I can understand that, but couldn't you join the basketball team instead?"

I replied with "I don't really know, I don't really want to do any sport."

Noel said "Our school sucks for making you do something you don't want to do."

Scott said "Yeah, do you know why there making you do it?"

I replied with "I get loads of detention, where I never use to so I guess there trying to bring the old Emily back but she long gone."

Zach said "How can they make you do something, I just don't understand."

I replied with "I don't know, can we just go back to playing some basketball?"

Robert said "Yeah let's get back out there and tried to bet them." We all stood up from our spots and head back out to the court to play some more basketball.
