*chelsea's POV*
It was Friday morning and I was starting to regret staying up so late watching supernatural and texting the girls, but its nearly the weekend so yay!! I absolutely hate school, I'm just never motivated to get out of bed anymore and if I hear my mam scream 'CHELSEAAAAA GET UP' one more time i'll kill her, it's too early for her annoying voice. Ok that was a bit harsh but you know how parents can be. I snoozed my alarm for the last time before I got myself up to get ready and noticed I had a text from Connor.
Me and con have been friends since I was 13 so about 4 years now but I've known him most of my life. He lives on my aunts road in Wexford, but I see him often enough because my aunts house is practically my second home. His mam and my aunt are really close and whenever my aunt would invite her over con would come too so I guess it was inevitable that me and him would become friends. We got really close over the years and I would consider him to be one of my best friends now. When I wasn't with Lauren, Sarah and leah I was with him.
Lately things have gotten a lot more serious between me and Connor after a very awkward kissing encounter at a very awkward sleepover. I'm not gonna lie and say I never thought of him in that way or think that this was never going to happen because let's face it he was gorgeous and he had one of the best personalities ever, plus we got along so well.
We have been together for the last 2 weeks and it is eating me up inside that I still haven't told the girls, I just don't want them to over exaggerate it because well we over exaggerate EVERYTHING. They would also just embarrass me and question me until they got every single detail out of me about our relationship. They are really going to kill me when I finally spit it out and tell them.
So anyways Connor and his friends brad, Patrick (ric) and Damon are in a band called 'Rough edges' that's what the text was about, he said 'Chel, me and the boys have a gig in town tonight if you and the girls wanna come?x'.
They started the band a few years ago I don't really know that much about them as I've only heard them play twice. They are really good and con kicks ass playing bass and it's always a plus when con makes them cover all time low songs which is mine and his favourite band, cringy I know.
At the moment the band have been doing small gigs around Ireland, they have fans but I wouldn't exactly call them 'famous'. I replied to the text saying 'yea sure, I'll tell the girls in school. Text me the details?x'.
The girls never seen the band play before they never really met con either. They were starting to think I was making him up and that I was living in this fantasy world with all these imaginary people. It's just I shared everything thing with my friends and I have done for years so it is nice to just have something for myself, which is Connor so I guess that's why they never met him.
I put all my books into my bag said goodbye to my parents and left. I'm so jealous they get every Friday off work and got to start the weekend early. I closed the door and left to meet the girls before school. I was late like always and starving why do I never leave myself time for breakfast??? Oh and did I mention I look like shit? I ran into the shop on the way and got something to eat because there is no way I would be able to sit through 5 classes without food. I loved meeting up with the girls before school, they got me through the horrible day in school.
I saw the 3 of them waiting at the school gate for me, I felt sorry for anyone who would look at us in school today because it kills me to say this but we all looked like shit our hairs were just thrown up into messy buns and the bags under our eyes were darker than the inside of Hollister. 'I could of actually brushed my hair today if I knew you would be late chel' Sarah shouted. Then leah said 'We should have known she'd be late sure what's new'. I didn't even feel bad for them we were too close for that, half of the time we acted like we hated each other but as cliché as it sounds we are inseparable.
'Well Im taking the 3 of you to Connors gig tonight in town with the band so that should make up for it'. 'Finally getting to meet him are we Chelsea, it's about time' Lauren said, 'so he's not actually made up then, I was starting to think you might need to go see someone' Sarah laughed. They were obviously joking. I laughed awkwardly, I needed to shut them up quickly before I felt even more guilty about me and con being together and not telling them yet. 'Im just waiting on him to text back and give me the deets, I'm so excited we need to get drunk, we haven't drank in so long' I think I'm now obliged to let you all know that our 5th best friend was vodka. 'Oh yes I'm praying his friends are good looking because I'm just lonely af' leah said, obviously it would be leah who would say this!
Except for me all the girls are single and I think it's about time one of us gets down and dirty because we can't all be virgins forever, lets be honest now.
I got home from school and hopped in a shower, Connor texted me back earlier on saying it started at 9 but to meet him at the stage door at about 8. They were playing the metro room which holds 400 people and they had actually sold out. I know it's not much but still they were coming along and they had their regs.
The girls were meeting me at mine at about 7 so we could pre-drink before the gig and then get a taxi to the metro room. My mam doesn't really mind me drinking but my dad is very over protective so thank god they were gone out for dinner when the girls got here. I have to say we all scrubbed up well, to going from looking like the grim reaper this morning to being all kardashian like now, I was proud of us. I wore my hair down curly and had a black dress, tights and docs on and my signature black eyeliner flick. They girls also looked lovely and Sarah's arse was fab in them shorts ;).
When we got to the gig leah was already so drunk and we were all considering leaving her in the taxi and asking the driver to bring her home, but we would just have to put up with her sluty drunk side for the rest of the night. I was so nervous for tonight for some reason so I'm glad I'm not fully sober right now. Me and the girls just get so hyper when we're drinking its crazy, well we are always hyper but this is a different type of hyper all together.
We walked around to the stage door thinking we were all important and what not. I seen Connor and the boys outside and I'm pretty sure I heard leah say 'dibs on the short one with the Curly brown hair' Brad. Ah drunk people, how fun. Connor looked over at us and gestured us towards them ugh he is so attractive and his hair game is so strong, I couldn't help but run over to him and kiss him. I pulled away before I turned around and saw the look on the girls faces. OH SHIT
