I drew the thick grey blanket closer to me and hugged my comfort pillow tighter. My heart rate increased with the tempo of the music that played. Whoever chose the soundtrack for this movie knew what they were doing and, they deserve a raise immediately. Zack reached for the pillow I had a death grip on and placed it on my lap, then he laid his head on ut.
''Zack,'' I whined.
He shushed me, his eyes not leaving the screen. I shook my head and decided to run my hands through his hair, I needed something to distract me from this anxiety-inducing film. Lucas held onto Emma's shoulder as she half hid in his armpit. Earlier we ate the delicious pasta Zack brought with some frozen cheesy bread that was stuffed to the back of our freezer, we decided to waste time by watching a film. As expected, Zack and Lucas argued over what to see for a solid ten minutes before Emma went online in search of a random movie generator, and thus this film was put to play.

I hummed a happy tune, which sounded a lot like Gitchee Gitchee Goo from Phineas and Ferb, as I walked up the stairs. It has been a while that I've felt so happy and free, no wries just pure serotonin flowing. I felt as though I should be worried that something was going to break my happy streak but I'll be damned if I let myself mess up my mood. ''How was the ice cream? Did you get me any?'' Lucas asked eagerly. He peeked his head out of his room just as I opened my bedroom door to ask. ''It was really good and no I didn't buy you any ice cream.'' ''Was it awkward between you two?'' he inquired and came out to lean his body against the doorframe. I shook my head,'' I think me opening up about my past gave our relationship a huge push,'' I replied. Lucas nodded thoughtfully, then shrugged, ''As long as you're happy, I'm happy'' ''What does that mean?'' ''It means that if you're happy and smiling, nothing else should matter to m
"It's only fair, still I really wanted to go,'' I whined as I hung upside down on my bed. The feeling of blood rushing to my head made me feel like I was going to pass out. "I know baby, you were really good on the second and third night. I was almost certain she would pick you," his deep voice travelled through the phone with a slightly muffle to it. "I told you the woman was evil," I groaned and sat up with great struggle. We were talking about the Los Angeles trip that half of the cast left for three days ago; the same trip that I didn't get picked for because of my 'incident'. She said that although I did well for the last two showings and received multiple compliments, I was 'unreliable'. At first, I was angry, what does that even mean? Sue me for having trauma because I was assaulted by my very own aunt. Then I was upset and disheartened, I practised and worked hard only to be left off of the bus. Thankfully, the thought of spending time with my
Hello everyone, how are you? The last chapter 'London not L.A' is the last official chapter of this book, however, I will be posting a few chapters of different events that happened after the end of the book. I'm expecting to post around two to four chapters over the coming week, once per week is my aim. I will also be editing my chapters, not to worry I won't change the story. Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy it. Remember to share, like and comment so that I will be motivated to post the additional chapters faster.
I hummed along to the tune of the random generic pop music that played in the background as I absentmindedly ran my fingers across the various fabrics and patterns. Nothing in this store was calling to me and we've been in here for around ten minutes already, far too long in my book. Just then, a shiny sequinned fabric glistened, it shot a beam of light off the colourful shiny disc-shaped bead straight at me. I took it off the rack for closer inspection, it was a bomber jacket. I turned around to show it off to Kevin who was on the other side of the rack. He looked up at my grinning face and the monstrosity that I held in my hands before bursting into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. ''This looks like something a first grader would wear or maybe a disco ball cosplayer,'' I commented between giggles. ''Check this out,'' he said before he held up a pair of galaxy tights. ''I didn't even know those were still in production,'' I laughed, my stomach beginning to
I quickly wrote down what we were discussing, my notes looked messy with random scratches and the occasional doodle. The topic of our conversation was centred around finalising the details for the End of Year Prom or EYP as everyone called it; so far we had a DJ, location, food, drinks but no decorations. We were still arguing about the colour scheme and theme even though we only had two weeks left and a small amount of money left. ''That's so lame,'' a council member shouted across the table at a guy that suggested aquamarine and yellow. ''Blue and yellow aren't lame, not my fault you don't know colour theory,'' he retorted whilst he gestured to her mismatch outfit. I liked it actually, sure the colours may seem odd together but somehow she made it work. Confidence was the key to most things. I got lost in my thoughts as they began their argument. My eyes caught Zack's movement effectively bringing me out of my thoughts. ''Stop acting like children,
''I have never felt so humiliated in my entire life. I stood in the middle of the stage with this huge bright light shining directly in my eyes. I had sweat dripping down my forehead, and the whole auditorium was so quiet you could hear the toilet flush from across campus," Kiara went on to explain to me the trouble that she faced during her last performance. She was dramatic, but that was one of the things I loved about her. I loved so many things about her. I stared at her for a bit then caught myself. What the hell was I doing? I feel like such a creep. I looked over her shoulder and caught sight of a beautiful noirette. Of course, she was nowhere near the Goddess level that KiKi was on, but she was still pretty. I could waste my time with her. How would I approach her? She had on a bomber jacket and a crop top; it was kind of basic, but I didn't intend to be with her for her sense of style. I thought of Kiki's sense of style and realised she didn't really have one. Ever since
I slowly nodded, my head propped up in the palm of my hand. My wrist was starting to hurt; that's the struggle of having such a big brain. Although my eyes were on Mandy's face, my mind was in another dimension. It started when Mandy mentioned her sibling, I think she said she had a sister, and I got to thinking about my own siblings. Specifically, the twins and how much they love Kiara. Me too, honestly. That was no surprise though; everyone loves Kiki. She was funny, friendly and cute as a button. Kiara was an all-around great person. I still remember the first time I saw her in that park by herself. I just knew we were going to be together forever, granted I never expected us to just be friends but beggars can't be choosers. "So Zack, do you want to?" Mandy's question threw me for a loop. "Oh, I'm sorry I was," I paused trying to think of something to say, "I was completely captivated by your beauty that I wasn't paying your words a lot of attention," She giggled and threw he
"You don't like it, dear? Is the flavour off?" my step mum, or mum as I often call her, asked me from her seat across the table. She was in the process of wiping Van's face when she must have noticed my solemn mood. I have never known Van to eat neatly. "I love it, honey. It's very delicious. It might be one of your best yet," my dad pipped in. He hummed in delight to sell his words. "No one was talking to you," my mum stuck her tongue out at him. "I was talking to our eldest, but I'm glad you like it," she smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek. They were so cute. I want that for me and Kiara. "Love it," he emphasised with a wide smile. "I love it too, mummy," Nessa said as she bounced in her seat. Her little fists clutched her baby spoon like a spear. I have never known Nessa to sit still. "Me too, mummy," Van chipped in. "I can tell. Even your cheeks are enjoying it," mum giggled as she wiped off the remaining food that stuck to his chubby cheeks. "I think it's
