"Where is your drink?" Lucy asks as I get back outside

"I walked into someone and it went all over me" i say

"Ah no"

"Who did you walk into?" Lexie asks

"That greek god" i say

"What?" All the girls shriek

"That tall guy, with the blonde hair" I say

"What did he do?" Lydia asks

"He snapped at me for walking into him and then I made my charm and I think he likes me" i say

"Who doesn't like you" Lexie asks

"Exactly, I'm a people person" i say

"All of England knows that" she mumbles and i smile.

The same familiar group of boys who was in the kitchen walks over to us, "ladies"

"What's up Issac?" Lucy asks the dark haired boy who was talking to me at the bar.

"I just wondering if your new friend is single" Issac says

"No, definitely not" Lexie mumbles and i laugh

"Is there something funny sweetheart?" He asks me

"It's just funny how you think I'll ever go out with you" i say and some people laugh and others just freeze

"And why not?" He asks me

"I'm just not in a place for relationships right now" I say

"Well neither am I, friends with benefits?" He asks

"Definitely not" i say crossing my arms

"Your loss" he says

"Alex, come here" Issac says gesturing Alex over who is taking to Olly and Luke.

"What?" Alex says

"The new girl thinks she won't fall for me" Issac says

"And?" Alex asks

"I think she's wrong" Issac says and I roll my eyes

"Yanks" i mumble

"I think that she's pretty uninterested in you, from the way she was acting in the kitchen" Alex says and I meet his gaze

"Then again, most people drop the uninterested act sooner or later. Maybe it's only a matter of time before she does" Alex says looking at me

"Maybe it's not an act" i say

"We'll have to wait and see" Alex says

It's now Sunday morning, I start school tomorrow and I'm not excited.

"Luca?" I ask walking into his office

"What's up Lily?" He asks

"How come you didn't tell me that Lexie lives in the area?" I ask

"Oh yeah, I forgot. How is she? You used to hang around each other all the time before her parents got divorced" he says

"She's good, she's the only one living with her mum you know. The rest are with her dad in Monaco" i say and he nods

"Divorce isn't easy on anyone, it just makes it more difficult when you have millions of people viewing it as well" he says and i nod

I sit in the chair in front of his desk.

"Your in charge of security and trips and stuff right?" I ask him

"Yeah why?" He asks as Thea walks into his office

"I was thinking of doing more humanitarian work, I want to go back to Kenya and check on the villages we helped. See if they need anything else" I say

"You know your on a break for a reason" he says

"Yeah I know but just cause I'm on a break doesn't mean their suffering hasn't stopped. I feel like I should do more, create an impact" i tell him and I see Thea smile

"I can see if I can get into contact with Ahamid for you, I'll get him to check on them. Maybe we can arrange a call or something for you to talk to them" Luca tells me

"Really?" I ask smiling and he nods

"Thank you!" I say, "it means a lot"

"You have a heart of gold Lily" Thea says

"I try my best" i say and she chuckles

"So how was the party, have you met anyone?" Thea asks me

"Yeah, Izzy's friends are really nice" i say

"Aren't they just" Thea says with a smile

"Did you meet any boys?" Thea asks me

"I'm going, I can't deal with boy talk" Luca groans walking out and i laugh

"I don't see the point in getting into a relationship if I'm destined to be with someone else. It's not worth the heartache" i say

"If you meet someone, don't push them away Lily. You might just regret it for the rest of your life if you don't give it a shot"
