Jordan had taken up boxing thanks to an extra-curricular run-in with Mr Quereshi when he was doing some work for Khadim. As much as it infuriated Mollie that her little brother was still involved with the dealer, she was somewhat relieved that he'd found a healthy way of channeling his energy with the help of his teacher.

However, as the Wilson girl was sat in the backseat of a Vauxhall Astra on a Thursday evening, she definitely had other things on her mind.

"Right, I've sent Aaron to get us a Nando's, so it just you, me and Mollie." Missy spoke from the front seat as she held up her phone to her face.

"He'd better get me peri chips." Mollie muttered hopefully, which earned her a glare from Missy telling her to focus on the situation in hand: Nas' hot date with a girl from the local football team. "Right, sorry. How you feeling, Nas?"

"I think I need to wee again." Nas replied nervously, feeling incredibly out of her comfort zone. Usually content in a hoodie and jeans, Nas had allowed her two best friends to give her a full glam makeover and it was something that she definitely wasn't used to.

Along with going on actual dates with actual girls.

Oblivious to the fact that it may make the girl's nerves even worse, Missy narrowed her eyes at the screen. "Check the mirror while you're there, I think you've got a bogey."

Nas rolled her eyes at the blonde girl, but before she could make a reply her eyes landed upon a brunette figure walking through the door. Stiffening a little, she felt her breath hitch in her throat. "Guys, she's here."

"Right, deep breaths, Nasreen." Missy said supportively, before starting to inhale and exhale loudly as if to lead by example. But as Nas moved the camera slightly, she became distracted. "Are you sure that isn't a bogey?"

"Missy!" Mollie hissed at the blonde, knowing that her comments would certainly not be helping Nas. She pulled the phone towards herself and offered a smile through the screen. "Remember what we talked about. Confidence, flirty-"

Before Mollie could offer anymore guidance, the call was cut off by a panicked-looking Nas. Mollie handed the phone back to Missy, just in time for the car door to open and reveal Aaron with a large bag of food.

Mollie broke out into a grin instantly as the savory smell filled the car and she held out her hands eagerly. "Please tell me you got peri chips."

"'Course. What kind of weirdo goes to Nandos and gets plain chips?" He asked with a frown, before looking over at Missy. "Oh wait, I know."

The blonde rolled her eyes as she retrieved her food from the bag. "They're too spicy, okay?"

"I thought I knew you, Missy. Guess I was wrong." Mollie said with a playful tone of sadness, taking her own meal out of the paper bag.
