The next morning I woke up to a disappointing text.
Sorry Scarlett, might
not make it, the stations a nightmare, were trying though!
– Billie x
“Great” I moaned, I really needed my friends here to cheer
me up. I threw my head back onto the pillow and slept for another hour.
“Wakey, wakey!” I heard my mum calling as she walked into my
room and threw back the curtains. I felt like I was a kid again.
“Ugh, is Mel back?” I asked sitting up.
“I don’t wanna talk about her.” She smiled, I was confused.
“Hu? Why?”
“She brought somebody back last night, I told em both to get out, I don’t really care anymore,” I knew she was angry but she kept her cool really well, I wish I could do that.
“When are Billie and James getting here?” she asked. I sighed heavily.
“Well I’m not sure to be honest; I got a text from Billie saying their train might be cancelled…”
“Oh, that’s sad, I've been preparing my famous Risotto all morning.” I checked my phone again and since there were no more texts I decided I’d give Billie a call.
“Hey, what’s happening with you guys?” I asked.
“Well I think were in luck, there’s a train but it’s been delayed for the last hour, were just having coffee,” she laughed.
“Oh,” I smiled “I really hope you guys can make it, my sisters here…”
“Oh,” Billie replied, she knew my sister well enough to know already that it wasn't a good thing.

I got myself ready and decided to go take the dog out for a
walk as I need to burn off all the chocolate and food I’d eaten last night. I
walked through the fields and chased around after Lacy (the family dog) she was
a border collie and super adorable. I was throwing her a stick when I heard my
phone buzz.
Hey, hope you had a great Christmas! Lots of love, Ace x
Hey, hope you had a great Christmas! Lots of love, Ace x
I smiled as I read the text, he was defiantly cute.
When I got back home I was freezing. I got another text from
Billie saying they were almost here and I got really excited again. I rushed
upstairs and re did my make-up and hair (it was totally windswept after that
walk) Id decided to curl it loosely and pin it back so it was some up and some
down. I also got changed into a glittery red dress. Id decided I was taking
them out for drinks after dinner. Once I was done I heard the doorbell ring.
“I’ll get it!” I called running down the stairs. I opened the door and there standing in my door step was Freddy Parker.
“Wow, flash back!” he laughed, I just stood there awkwardly. Freddy was at my high school and he was probably the creepiest guy I’d known. At school he had a crush on pretty much every single girl, but it didn't stop there though, he also decided to ask them all out, one by one and each one he confessed his love to, it was weird. However I felt pretty sorry for him and unlike the other girls didn't bully him and for that reason he wouldn't leave me alone.
“Hey Freddy,” I smiled, trying to sound polite.
“I didn't know you’d be here, I wanted to give this to your parents,” he reached into his pocket and pulled out a card, “come back for Christmas then?” He asked. I nodded and was just about to make an excuse to leave when my mum came up behind me.
“Freddy!” she exclaimed, “How good to see you, how’s your mum? It’s been so long.”
“She’s fine, I know, she’s always wanting to come over,” he smiled. I looked at him and realised he looked so different now, he looked better to be honest, less geeky and more manly.
“She’s always welcome,” mum then looked at me.
“Where you going all dressed up?" She asked.
“I thought I’d take Billie and James out for drinks after dinner, it sounded like they had a pretty rough day.
“Hey! You could take Freddy with you I’m sure you have lots of catching up to do!” I wanted to kill her.
“Oh no Mrs May, its fine-“
“No, no!” mum interrupted, “it’s Christmas! The more the merrier, right scarley” I didn't want to sound even more rude so I just nodded and smiled, and WHY was she using my stupid nick-name, it was like she was trying to embarrass me.
“Cool, where you planning on going then?” he asked. I told him where and when and then mum finally shut the door.
“Are you crazy!” I burst as soon as it shut. She ignored me completely.
“Isn't he a handsome boy now, and he was so nice to you, always buying you stuff-“
“He’s a creepy!” I exclaimed.
“Oh don’t be horrible like your sister,” she laughed.
“But mum!” Just then the doorbell rang again. If that was another creepy blast from the past I’m seriously going to scream. Luckily when mum answered it Billie and James were standing there. They walked in and told us all about the nightmare at the station.
“Some people couldn't even get home for Christmas! I felt soo bad for them, it must be awful!”
“I thought you’d have had a rough time that’s why I’m taking you out for drinks down the pub after dinner.” I smiled.
“Yes!” James laughed, “I've always wanted to go into one of them old country pubs.” We all laughed.
“James, it’s not like the movies you know,” I smiled. He looked disappointed.
“What no crazy grannies with shot guns and pistols? You’re kidding me!” he laughed referring to the movie Hot fuzz.
“I’ll get it!” I called running down the stairs. I opened the door and there standing in my door step was Freddy Parker.
“Wow, flash back!” he laughed, I just stood there awkwardly. Freddy was at my high school and he was probably the creepiest guy I’d known.

After dinner Billie and James got dressed up and we headed
out.
“So what’s the deal with your sis?” James asked as soon as we were out of the house.
“Ugh, she’s just so horrible, apparently mum forced her to come here, she even pretty much said a one night stand would be better than seeing us.”
“Oh, where is she now then? Was she at the house?” Billie asked.
“Nope, mum kicked her out,” I shrugged.
“Shit, why?” James laughed.
“She brought back a guy last night apparently, mum just told her to leave.” We reached the bar and then I stopped.
“Oh by the way Billie, Freddy Parkers meeting us here.” Billie froze and the look on her face was comical.
“Your, your joking right?” she asked. I laughed.
“Unfortunately not.”
“What, why, how did that even happen?!” she burst as we walked into the pub looking for a table. Just then Freddy came over.
“Hey guys!” he smiled, “Billie!” he exclaimed, “wow your looking great! Let me get you a drink,” Freddy was seriously checking her out, why didn't I get that reaction?
“Oh, thanks, red wine please,” she smiled. Freddy then walked away to get the drinks.
“What about me?!” I laughed.
“Wow, he’s gotten, I mean I never thought I’d say this but… he’s HOT!” Billie said. James shrugged.
“He’s okay I guess but the colour pink reaaly doesn't suit him, maybe a darker pink but that rose colour is waay to harsh for his skin ton-“
“but he’s hot right? I’m not going crazy here?!” Billie burst.
“I guess he’s better than he was before…” I shrugged.
“He’s my type though, look at his bum!” she giggled. James looked over and nodded in approval.
“That sure is a great bum.” We all laughed. Just then he came over and sat beside Billie.
“Don’t worry babe,” James whispered, ill get you a drink, come on,” James smiled. I was reluctant to leave Billie but she seemed pre occupied with Freddy, was this really happening?
“So what’s the deal with your sis?” James asked as soon as we were out of the house.
“Ugh, she’s just so horrible, apparently mum forced her to come here, she even pretty much said a one night stand would be better than seeing us.”

James and I sat down at the bar and he ordered himself a
beer and me a white wine. “Right now tell me what’s the deal with this Freddy
bloke because my teeny brains a bit confused.” He said, taking a sip of beer
(it reaaly didn't suit him but he wanted to go for the country pub look) I sighed heavily.
“He’s just this dude from high school who was desperate to get a girlfriend and asked everyone out, he wasn't bad or anything, he just wasn't cool and I guess in highs school being un-cool was a serious no-no dating wise,” I kinda felt guilty, “it’s just weird seeing Billie with him, and him looking so, well, cool.” James laughed.
“Hunnie sometimes you just got to see it on the bright side, they look as though they are getting on, and if he’s nice then what does it matter?”
“I know, I know, it’s just weird, something’s just weird,” I sighed.
