Scarlett's POV
I pushed the door open slowly and all there heads snapped towards me. I could see the relief wash over their faces. "I, I just wanted to s,say I'm very sorry," I whispered looking directly to the floor, suddenly I felt arms wrap around my waist and into a hug, I stood there not hugging back, I thought they'd be angry?
"Scarlett it's just me," Ethan whispered, I nodded and cautiously hugged back, he pulled away and smiled at me, but I didn't smile back, I just looked back at the floor.
"Scarlett?" I heard Josh say, so I nodded, "Can I have your file please?" I nodded again and went to collect it. Then handed it to Josh. He sat at the breakfast bar and opened it, the other boys crowded around him.

Scarlett's POV
He read my file out loud, and as he said those last few words, I collapsed to the floor in a fit of tears. Freya came running over to me and tried to comfort me, but only two people knew how, Jamie and Ethan. He ran to my side as soon as he realised I needed him.
"Please don't get rid of me," I said clawing at his t-shirt as he hugged me.
"Hey, we would never, okay?" I nodded as he ran his hands down my back. "You're okay,"
"Thanks Ethan," I whispered as he pulled away and I calmed down, "And I'm sorry for earlier,"
"It's okay my little Tee," He said looking in my eyes and smiling, I blushed and looked at the floor again,
"Tee?" I heard the tall boy ask in confusion,
"Oh, it's my nickname for her, her friend Jamie calls her Star, as a comforter, and I wanted a nickname for her, so I searched up small star names, and there was one called 'Teegardens star' which I thought was cute so I decided to use that, but cut it short, to Tee,"
"Cute," Said the short one with tanned skin,
"Uhm, Ethan?"
"Yeah Tee?"
"What should I call them? Like what are their names?" I whispered,
"Oh" He laughed,
He pointed at the tall, pink haired boy, "That's Simon," He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and smiled,
Next he pointed to a slightly shorter boy with blonde hair, "That's Harry," He didn't even acknowledge the fact his name had been said,
After that he pointed to a short, darkish boy, "That's Vikk," He just waved and smiled,
"I'm Tobi" A dark skinned guy said and then smiled, he then pointed at the other dark skinned boy next to him, "And that's Jide, but everyone calls him JJ," He also just waved with a weird smirk that made me feel slightly uncomfortable.
I nodded trying to remember everyone's names, which was not the easiest thing in the world, but I think I'll get them.
"Well," Freya said, "Simon, you wanna show her to her room, since it's next to yours?"
"Can do," He said with a smile, "Follow me" He said whilst walking out the room, I stood up and followed him out,
"I need my bag," I whispered,
"Oh, I'll get it it's okay," He smiled, I nodded, "You don't talk much," He said,
"Not really," I replied,
"Well, I'll just let you know this, you don't have to be nervous around me, okay? You can trust me, and all the other boys, and I know it's not as easy as it sounds, but I just thought you should know that," By now we were stood outside a tall set of double doors,
"Thank you Simon," And whether it was what he said or the fact I just really needed one, I hugged him, which clearly took him by surprise as he didn't hug me back straight away, but he eventually did.
I awkwardly pulled away, "So, erm, is this my room?" I asked,
"Yeah, it is," He smiled and opened the door, at first glance I was astonished, it was exactly how I wanted it. (media) "Like it?" He asked,
"Yeah, thanks," I replied, he put my bag by the desk and looked back at me,
"The door over there is an ensuite and the other room is a walk in wardrobe," He said pointing to two doors, I nodded and he started walking towards the door again, "I'll leave you to it, if you need me I'm just next door,"
"Oh, okay, where's Ethan's room by the way?" I asked,
"Oh, he erm doesn't live here," He said scratching the back of neck,
"Oh, okay, tell everyone I say thanks and sorry, again," I replied,
He smiled again and nodded walking out the room. Maybe these boys aren't so bad after all.
