Mimi finished her eyeliner and checked her phone casually, Yolei had text her again "Why isnt Sora picking up?" Mimi dropped the eyeliner and burst into laughter, there was never something that was more funny than it was now. She breathed deeply, and double checked her tears of joy hadn't made her make-up run in the mirror, it was all good. She tapped away on here phone and sent the reply, and then another text afterwards. She grabbed her purse and walked downstairs "Mummy, where's dad?" Mimi asked curiously as she looked around at the front door for her dad "He went to work spudling" her mother replied as she read the newspaper. Mimi tensed her fist
"But he was my ride..." Mimi said with her nostrils flaring.
"Just walk, it's not that far" her mother replied
"But I have to go through a building site" Mimi protested "Oh, a building site..." Mimi said seductively. "Bye mum!" she shouted as she left in a hurry. "I will never understand that girl" Mimi's mum said with a sigh as she turned the page.

Sora reached down and read her phone, it was Yolei. She finished the lemonade and threw the bottle on the floor behind her. "Sora, where are we going text back soon" Sora sighed, she had no idea. "Ermmm, ask Mimi" Sora muttered as she typed. She sent it and gasped, "that makes me sound so lazy!" she shouted angrily, she quickly tapped out another message "I'm too busy atm" she looked up in the mirror and grinned triumphantly. She reached down onto the floor and grabbed a hoody, sniffing it once, then sniffing it again she decided the blue hoody with a university logo on it was fine. She pulled it on and grabbed her digivice, clipping it to her waist. She left the room and walked downstairs before sighing heavily. She had forgot her phone. She ran back upstairs, continuing to sigh and groan and kicked her door open, putting another dent in the newly plastered wall. She grabbed her phone with a heavy sigh and walked out her front door. Her dad was sat in the car with an angry grimace.
Sora sighed and climbed in "What took you so long?" he asked.
"I was getting ready!" Sora shouted angrily "Just drive" she said as she looked out of the window.
"Excuse me young lady" her dad began
"Dad you always do this, I'm going to be late!" Sora protested.
"Put your seatbelt on first" her dad said, Sora turned her head and seethed at her father, he returned the evil stare until Sora sighed heavily and strapped her seatbelt on, her dad slowly pulled off the drive and began to talk "Where you going?" he asked as he spun the car around so it was facing the right way. "Out" Sora replied as she stared wistfully out of the window.
"I know that, out where?" her dad asked.
"Just out!" Sora replied with a fierce grimace. Silence filled the car until they left the street, then he started again.
"Who you going with?" he asked, as he checked nothing was coming and pulled out
"People" Sora replied as he began to drive.
"Which people?" her dad asked, his voice beginning to change.
"Just people" Sora said, beginning to anger
"Is it that boy that's in your diary?" her dad teased with a big grin.
"YOU READ MY DIARY!?" Sora shouted as she began to fumble with the seatbelt "that's it, I'm walking, she said as she reached for the clasp. "Calm down, between the pudding stains and other, ermm... messes in that book there wasn't that much that was legible" her dad said with a hearty laugh. Sora reached for the door handle but her dad was too quick, he activated the child lock with a grin "Come on, it's like five minutes away, you can chat to your old dad without commiting suicide, right?" he asked as he made a turn.
"Talking to you is worse than Fairy Dust" Sora replied with a triumphant grin as he went silent
"It won't be that when you want a new phone" her dad said with his own grin as Sora replied with her usual angry face.

Yolei checked her phone as she felt it vibrate in her pocket as she walked to the bus stop it was Mimi
Mimi said : 'Cos she doesn't know which end of her phone is the one with a keyboard on the morning
Mimi said : LOL!
Yolei smiled and tapped a reply "That isn't very nice
" she typed as another text came in, she was getting too popular for her own good at this rate.
Sora said : Ermm, I dunno, ask Mimi...
Sora said : I'm too busy atm.
Yolei sighed, Sora probably wasn't even ready yet. She walked up to the bus stop, flashed her pass, paid and went and sat at the back. She knew after many years of school that was where the cool kids always sat. She looked at the fly and gum stained window, it was like being in a rundown limousine, well thinking of it like that always made the ride easier as she sat on the seats that had been torn and endured the smell that someone had released.

Kari walked down the road with her face in a tight grimace. She neared her bus stop and waited, she hated waiting, why didn't it wait for her at the bus stop, honestly some people have no lives. "Why is it not ferking coming!?" Kari shouted angrily, she turned to see the old woman sat next to her with a look of shock on her face "Oh, I didn't swear, I swear" Kari protested, the woman ignored her and stood up "Ignorant Prude" Kari said out loud, she then turned to see the woman getting on the bus, Kari leapt up and saw Yolei waving at the back, "Why her?" Kari said with a sigh as she paid and turned around to look for a seat, it was either the old woman or Yolei, she was tempted to chance it with the old woman but she had no choice.
"Hey girl!" Kari shouted as she walked down towards Yolei, Yolei grinned and waved "Whats happening?" Kari asked as she sat down and looked at Yolei, as if she was listening intently as she spoke, Kari nodded with a smile and as she saw Yolei's mouth close she butted in "So, do you know if the others will be there?" Kari asked as she checked her phone, no messages.
"Yeah, we have been texting all morning, I think they'll be there" Yolei replied as the bus took off again. Kari clenched her fist, why hadn't they texted her!? "Kari are you okay?" Yolei asked with a smile, Kari nodded
"Yeah, course" she said quickly.
