"And then he gave me three lunchtime detentions and told me to apologise to prickface" Evie finished her story, her head leaning on Reece's shoulder, panting slightly because she hadn't given herself much time to stop and breathe during her explanation of the day's events. They'd walked out the back of block three and sat on a bench, out of sight from the school, as the distressed girl told her friend what had happened.
"That sucks. Are your detentions with him?" The boy questioned, and Evie could feel his shoulder move as he turned to look down at her.
"God, I hope not. I hate him so much" The 16-year-old seethed, turning her head so her forehead was resting on Reece's shoulder as she squeezed her eyes shut. She was thankful that he had come to calm her down because she knew that she probably would have gone on another rampage. The blonde assumed that Blake had texted him, telling him that she had gone to the Headmaster's office and he had made his way over, seeing as he had a free. The perks of being in Sixth Form. "Come on, we should probably get going; school's nearly over" The blonde boy announced, letting Evie take her head off of his shoulder before he stood and pulled her up too. The two were silent for a bit, until the girl questioned: "Wanna come over?" Reece didn't have to think much before answering with a nod, as they were at the girl's house pretty much everyday anyway.
"Want me to text the boys?" He asked the girl who hummed in agreement - she was too tired to form a proper response, even though all she needed to do was say one word. Opening her mouth just seemed like too much effort in that moment. The blonde boy shot both George and Blake a text, telling them to meet at Evie's before tucking his phone into his pocket. The two were silent once again as they walked out of the school gates, collecting their thoughts, before Reece spoke up. "Hey Evie, wanna hear a joke?" The boy was smirking at the girl, who instantly adopted a cringing expression.
"Oh god" The blonde girl muttered, nodding hesitantly, preparing to be filled with regret at her answer.
"Did you hear the one about the magic tractor?" Reece paused for 'dramatic effect' as he liked to call it. "It was driving down the road when it suddenly turned into a field!" The boy burst into laughter, obviously finding his joke amazingly funny. The girl shook her head and uttered a 'wow', but still found herself chuckling slightly - not at the joke, but at the one who told it.
"Come on, that was better than yesterday's joke" Reece spat through his laughter, trying his best to calm down from his laughing fit. It was a stupid tradition for the blonde boy to tell Evie bad jokes, which had come about the first time her parents left her home alone whilst they went on a business trip. Normally she would have a babysitter who stayed in their house and looked after her, but The Carter-Green's swiftly fired the babysitter when a stack of money went missing. It was Evie who had taken the money, but she would never admit that to her parents. Reece would call the girl every evening before she went to bed and tell her a bad joke that he had found online, knowing that she got scared when she was home alone at night and hoping that he could make her feel better. The teenager had since grown out of the fear, used to being alone at night now, however they hadn't out-grown the tradition; whenever he had a new joke he would tell it to the girl, and if she wasn't there to appreciate it then he would text it to her, just to make sure she didn't miss out.
"I suppose so" The blonde girl admitted, still smiling at the stupid joke and her friend who was half laughing, half choking. Hot, you're really going to get a girlfriend looking like that, Reece.
"Hey, guys! Wait up!" Evie turned to see Blake and George jogging towards them. "Leaving without us, were you?" George questioned, cocking his eyebrow "That's pretty rude guys"
"Sorry, how are you out so early?" The girl asked, trying her best not to laugh as her two friends panted at the jogging they had done, especially George seeing as he didn't have to do PE anymore. Despite doing little to no exercise, both boys were still as thin as twigs. It pissed Evie off, because if she ate even a square of chocolate then she seemed to double in weight. It was probably a bad thing that she ate so many tubs of Ben and Jerry's, then, but she wouldn't quit. It was too good. Reece had a six pack because he actually bothered to go to the gym, but he had been slacking as of late.
"Mrs Anderson let me go early, something about being on gate duty, and George's teacher didn't show to their lesson so he was revising in the library" Blake explained as they all started walking again, after the two boys had caught their breath.
"Right. Hey guys, wanna hear a joke?" Reece piped up when silence overtook them, his expression brightening.
"Not again" Evie grumbled, secretly loving hearing all of the jokes - which she wouldn't admit to Reece, or he'd probably upgrade to ten jokes a day, instead of one.
The group continued to exchange bad jokes - and laugh an inappropriate amount for the insanely low comedic standard each one held - until they reached Evie's house. The girl unlocked the door and they all shuffled in, kicked off their shoes and dumped their bags on the floor.
"Evieeeeee, my favourite person in the whole wide world..." Blake trailed off, knowing that Evie knew what he wanted.
"One sandwich coming right up," The blonde girl announced, walking away from Blake and into the kitchen where she continued to make him a sandwich. Like the jokes with Reece, making Blake a sandwich when he came round hers after school had become a sort of tradition for the two over the six years they'd been friends. It had started when his mother didn't have time to make him packed lunches and he was forced to have school dinners, however the dinners were absolutely disgusting in middle school so he used to just get Evie to make him a sandwich when they got to her's after school. He repaid her by sharing his food whenever she asked for some, even if he didn't really want to give her any - he always found it difficult to say no to her bright green eyes. Now Blake barely ever ate lunch at school and simply waited until he got to Evie's house - mainly because actually bothering to get up and walk to the school kitchen to get lunch was too much effort.
Once Evie had made the sandwich, she took the plate into the lounge and handed it to Blake, before grabbing one of the Wii wheels and saying "George, up for a race?", to which the blonde boy replied with an eager nod as he got up to get his own wheel.
Evie and George got very competitive over Mario Kart, and sometimes they wouldn't talk to each other for hours after they'd played because they'd piss each other off too much. The fights were never serious, but Blake and Reece got annoyed when the two of them acted really childish over who won. Anyone who was stuck in a room with the two of them whilst they battled on Mario Kart would go crazy. It was all:
"Oh my god Reece did you see that?! George just knocked my wheel on purpose!"
"No, I did not, you liar!"
And:
"What the fuck?! You threw a blue shell at me!"
"Well you didn't think I was going to let you win, did you?!"
And they wouldn't shut up, sometimes fighting about it for ages after they finished playing. Over the six years they'd been friends, Blake and Reece learned that leaving the room was the best option, which is why they swiftly escaped to the kitchen when the girl of the group started the game up, stating that they were going to go and look for more songs to cover, however, they weren't heard by either of their competitive friends as they had started fighting over a certain character that they both wanted to be.
"Seriously, I'm surprised they're still friends" Blake stated, chuckling slightly as he heard the two bickering from the other room.
"Maybe they're not, maybe they secretly hate each other" Reece suggested with a shrug.
"There's a conspiracy theory and a half" The brunette replied, before the two started laughing as they sat down on the breakfast bar stools, pulling Evie's laptop towards themselves. They had their own account on her laptop for the three of them to share, as they often went on it when they were over because bringing their own laptops was clearly too much effort.
Reece logged on and opened up the internet, going onto YouTube to check on how well the covers were doing and replying to some positive comments. "I don't wanna admit it to her, but Evie's idea to cover 5sos was actually quite a good one, seeing as their fan base is so big" Blake stated as he compared the amount of likes to the amount of dislikes.
"Thanks, babe, I know it was an amazing idea" The boy turned to see the aforementioned walk into the kitchen and over to the fridge, before grabbing two J2O's and leaving again. "Well, now you've admitted it to her so..." Blake hit Reece playfully on the arm as the blonde laughed at his scowl.
"Anyway, back to the covers. What are we going to cover next?" The brunette questioned, leaning his head on his hand as he scrolled through the covers they had already done.
"No idea. We could ask Twitter for some ideas" Reece suggested, to which Blake replied with a nod. The older boy opened up Twitter and frowned when it loaded, seeing that the band account had loads of notifications. Opening up the notifications page, Reece scrolled through lots of tweets congratulating them, and some people agreeing to something, but what, he didn't know. Then he saw a tweet which was in reply to something and his heart stopped when he saw who was mentioned in it.
'@TheVampsband @NewHopeClub yeah, they're amazing!!'
Reece clicked on the original tweet and let out a surprised gasp, at the same time as Blake muttered "Oh my God." The Vamps had tweeted a link to one of their overs, captioning it 'This band is amazing'. Another band, a proper, signed, selling albums band had just shouted them out on Twitter. How the hell did they get so lucky? The two boys looked at each other, their jaws hitting the floor, complete shock in their eyes, before turning back to the screen to check that they weren't going mad. Nope, the tweet was still there. The Vamps had actually tweeted them. "I can't believe this" Blake whispered, as if the tweet would run away like a scared animal if he made too much noise.
"Neither. Are they sure they have the right band?" Reece questioned, his eyes not leaving the words displayed on the screen.
Both boys stared at it a while, thoughts racing, until the silence was broken. "Hey guys, what's up?" George asked as he strolled in, placing two empty J2O bottles on the side.
"Dude, we just got noticed by Senpai"
