I PRESS record on snap, taking a seat on my chair in front of my vanity, you could probably hear the faint noises of my family downstairs whilst i rambled on about the timetable today, proper exhausting. every year my school would do these workshops joined along with this all boys school which drills my head in.

in all honesty, it's not all bad. i'm sound with most of the lads in the same year as me — i've been in this friend group for a few months now but it's nice to have a mixed friend group. we usually all go out every other days, mainly tuesdays and then the weekends since everyone is usually free during the time. 

today, we had this physical education program set up by my principal and the all boys principal and we basically just have a sports day which is class. i pray that i get put on a good team, unlike last year i got paired up with the weirdos. i wouldn't classify myself as a weirdo but i dunno what i am so. either way, i couldn't give two shits about popularity anyway-sure, it's a secondary school? nobody's gonna care as soon as we leave anyways.

"saoirse, i'm tellin' you girl, i can't do it" i groan while blending in my blush with my makeup brush. i was about to continue my waffle before i heard loud shouting from my mum downstairs.

"LIZ, HURRY UP WE NEED TO GO!" 

i scoffed and rolled my eyes, picking up my phone and ending the little video after grabbing my perfume and shoving in my bag as i left.

mia harris was this other girl i've been getting closer to, she's really pretty but we aren't best friends. i don't have that many problems with the girl—i mean, sometimes she can be a bit jarring when boys are around but other than that i'm not as close to her like i am with saoirse. owen, harry and charlie are my mates as well, i've known owen and harry all throughout primary and they sorta just introduced me to charlie a while ago and since then we've all just been in the same friend group. owens been filming this show for netflix which i find absolutely mad. only a few people know and i'm slightly honoured that i'm one of those people.

in all honesty, i've had a crush on owen multiple times through primary but i didn't tell anyone. i wouldn't really call it a crush, it was more just me fancying him is all... well kinda. at the middle of april, owen and i have been getting way closer. we've been texting nonstop and calling late at night. i could be wrong or delusional but that could mean something. i don't wanna get my hopes up either since this happened already but he likes a different girl.. sarah. her and i don't talk anymore but they didn't end up getting together since sarah 'lost interest' or whatever. bruh.

"fuck off isabelle!" i shout while i close the car door, my younger sister isabelle complaining about me leaving her alone or whatever but the thing is that i'm not even in her year. plus, i'm not gonna be in school the whole day anyway. she acts like i've abandoned her in some strange city when really she's just walking through the same front gates she's walked through a hundred times before. i roll my eyes because, honestly, it's not my job to babysit her from first bell to last. i've got my own stuff to worry about... like where the fuck is saoirse?

i looked around for a little bit before i felt a tap on my shoulder, turning around to see mia. "heyy!" mia grins from ear to ear as she greets me with a warm hug. "hiya" i smiled when i hug her back. "have you seen saoirse anywhere? she told me she's coming in but i haven't seen her" mia asked, her eyes glancing behind me to look for saoirse. i shrugged "nah i haven't seen her, she'll probably text us later but i needa go to my locker, i have to put all my books in cause i'm not going anywhere with my fatass bag" i snickered "honestly" mia adds as we both made our way past the school gates.

after talking to some other girls at the lockers with mia, i felt a smack at the back of my head. this bitch.

i look back in feigned offence when i turn around to see saoirse, a grin on her face. "good morning to you to then" i mumbled as i hit her arm playfully. "ow!" she exclaimed as she rubbed the place where i hit, i rolled my eyes giggling. "sooo dramatic"

our conversation was cut short by our year head butting in.

"girls where are we supposed to be?" she questioned but before i could answer, she cuts me off. "go to the assembly hall now or you all won't be able to participate in sports day" she stated strictly before walking off. "fat bitch" my friend, serena said under her breath which made all of us giggle. i close my locker door then we all made our way to the assembly hall.

"what d'yu think we're doing for sports day? mia asked saoirse and i as we walked down the halls. "eh dunno, last year we did basketball and rounders, to be honest it wasn't horrible" saoirse replied. "nuh uh! that's cause you got out on a good team with like harry and alexa nd all, i got put on a team with like weirdos" i shook my head in offence while the two girls laughed at me. "oh yeah! i remember that" saoirse giggled. "shut up!" i groaned.

we left the school, now at the community pitches as the teachers called out the teams for football and badminton. no amount of excitement could be explained at the sports we were playing today

"okay last team is.. elizabeth, jonas, serena, poppy, morgan and owen. elizabeth, you're team captain and non-bibs for this game." the instructor called out as i stepped in front of the cone. i was practically buzzing at this point. team captain, non-bibs and on a team with good players? heaven sent for real.

i turn back to look at my team. owens pretty good at football and so is serena and morgan. morgan's dad is the boys football coach so i'm sure we've got a good chance. i'd stick poppy in goals since she's pretty mid at sports, not even in a rude way, i'm not any better but i'm a good midfielder when i want to be. i have a good feeling that we'd win.

i glance over at saoirse and mia, they're teams are ... interesting to say the least. "i believe we're gonna cook guys" serena says confidently as she yanks my arm to get my attention. "oh i agree" i nodded, owen smiling brightly at me
