Life’s To Short[/u]
Chapter 1
Laura and Gemma sat at the back of the classroom talking about their weekend. “Yeh nan has said it’s fine for you to come over,” Laura whispered to her. “Wicked what are we going to do?” Gemma asked. “Um dunno, have a film night,” Laura suggested. “Yehhh,” Gemma said excited. “Shall we invite the guys?” Laura asked. “Yeh why not?” Gemma smiled. “Excuse me girls, would you like to share what you are talking about?” said Mrs Kies their teacher. “No Miss just discussing what were doing at the weekend,” Laura smiled at her. “Well could you please discuss it after class,” she asked. “Yep sure thing Miss,” Laura replied.
After lesson they both packed up their stuff and headed for the common room to find the guys. When they got there, there was no sign of the boys so they put some books in their lockers then headed for the music rooms where they knew they must be. They eventually found them in one of the rooms practicing. They had formed a band together at the beginning of the year and they where really good and all wanted to try and get a record deal when they left college. The girls walked in, “Hey ya,” Laura smiled at them all. “Hey you,” one of them said in a Bolton accent and half hugged her with one arm whilst holding his guitar steady with the other. “Hey Danny, how was your holiday?” she asked. “Yeh we missed you,” Gemmas said as she sat down on a chair next to the drummer. “Yeh was brill, I’ll tell you all about over lunch,” Danny smiled. “Tut is that all you think about your stomach,” Laura laughed. “Yep sure is,” one of the other guys laughed. “Shut up Tom,” Danny said hitting him on the arm. “It is true though mate,” the bassist joined in laughing. “So do you Dougie,” Gemma said also laughing. The guys all took off the guitars and walked out the room with Laura. “You coming Harry?” Gemma asked as she held the door open for the guy sitting at the drums. “Yep sure am,” he said getting up and following the others down the hall to the dinner hall.

Chapter 2[/u]
The guys all walked to the canteen together, Danny and Laura in front chatting about Danny’s holiday as Gemz lagged behind with Harry, Tom and Dougie listening to their holiday tales. Dougie had went on a camping trip with his younger sister and some of his mates, while Tom and Harry had gone up to Scotland for a week and as for Danny he had gone to Wales and was putting on a very bad version of a welsh accent to make Laura laugh. “God sake Danny hurry up and choose what you want there is a queue here you know” Gemz shouts at Danny as he lingers at the food counter not knowing what to choose “ok ok don’t rush me” Danny says looking up the queue at Gemz. Everyone chooses what they want and they all sit together at a six seater table in a small corner of the canteen. Gemz decides to fill the boys in on her and Lauras boring week off college, “well while you guys were off having a good time around the country, me and Laura were told that we are moving abroad, to Spain to be exact” Gemz says in a depressed tone, “You what? You guys cant move! What about college? You just cant move!” Harry says starting to panic and looking at Gemz with sympathic eyes “Hey hey its ok hunny don’t worry” Gemz says in a calming voice, wrapping her arms round Harry and hugging him “Me and Laura have put it to our parents that we don’t want to move, that we want to stay here in England, that well, that we wanna stay here with you guys, we are gonna get part time jobs, bar work or something like that and we are gonna get an apartment together, so you can calm down hunny you don’t get rid of us that easily” Gemz says smiling at Harry and then turning to continue her smile at the rest of the boys “Thank god” Danny let out a sigh of relief “I know I moan about you guys, but I, well all of us would be lost without you” Danny says in a sweet voice, Laura hugs him but knocks his sandwich out of his hand and replies “aww Danny, you little sweetie” Danny pulls away shocked, “OII, never mind sweetie look what you done to my sandwich” he replies and nods to the floor…

Chapter 3[/u]
They had finished their lunch and where all heading to their different classes. “See you after school hun,” Laura said to Gemz as they went their separate ways. “Yeh sure meet you by the lockers,” she shouted back. Laura and Danny walked off for their lesson of double science. They walked in and sat down at the back of the class together. “Omg I hate science,” Laura sighed. “Aww me to,” he laughed. “So where you going to stay whilst your looking for somewhere to stay,” Danny said making Laura confused as usual. She sat there and thought about what he just said for a couple of seconds, “Oh umm prob at nans,” she replied. “Aw that will be really cool you can come visit me,” he grinned. “I come visit you anyway,” Laura laughed at him. “Yeh but you can see me more,” he said. Their teacher walked in and started doing their work. The lesson really dragged on but eventually it was over and they packed up their books and headed for the common room. “So your at your nans tonite?” Danny asked her as they walked down the corridor. “Yep so is Gemz,” Laura replied. “Cool, what time are we coming over for this film nite then?” he asked as they walked into the common room. “Um about six,” Laura suggested. “Yeh that’s great, you want me to bring anything?” he asked her. “Um nah I think my nans got it all covered she loves it when you guys come round, so unless you want to bring some DVD’s then no but thank you anyway hun,” Laura said giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. “What was that for?” he asked surprised. “Coz your so sweet, and I felt like it,” Laura smiled. “Fair enough,” he smiled back. Gemma and the other guys walked in and put their books away and then they all started walking home. “So well see you guys tomorrow at six?” Laura said as they got to her nans house. “Yep sure thing,” the boys replied. “Hello kids,” Lauras nan, Babs, said as she opened the front door. “Hey nan,” they all replied. “You not coming in for a glass of orange boys?” she asked as Laura and Gemma both walked up the path. “No not today, best be getting home and doing our homework before your grand-daughter hijacks our weekends tomorrow,” Tom laughed. “Aw ok then I’ll see you tomorrow,” she said and disappeared back in the house. “See ya guys,” Laura and Gemma shouted. “Yeh bye,” the boys replied. Laura and Gemma went into the house and chatted with Lauras nan and then went upstairs and did their homework.
They where half way through doing there homework when Gemmas phone started ringing, “Ooooo its Harry,” she said answering it. After a short conversation Gemma put down the phone. “Ok I’m going over to Harrys house he cant do his homework and wants some help, your welcome to come if you want?” Gemma asked Laura. “Nah I’m having trouble too I’m going to head over to Dannys see if he can help me with this bloody science stuff,” Laura replied. “Ok kool, I wont be long,” Gemma said grabbing her coat and heading out. Laura picked up the books she would need and quickly text Danny to check he was in. As she was grabbing a coat her phone beeped. She looked at the screen and say one message received she opened it and read “Hey ya, yeh sure you can come over Danny x,” she pressed closed and told her nan where she was going and walked out. Luckily she only had to walk down two doors to Dannys house. She climbed up the ladder he had by his bedroom window and climbed in. “Evening hun,” he said as she got in. “Evening to you to,” she smiled and took off her coat. “You know you can come over whenever you want you don’t have to ask,” Danny told her. “Yeh but I just wanted to make sure you where in and you didn’t have anyone round,” she replied. “What you mean anyone round?” he asked puzzled. “Well you could have had a girl round here and I didn’t want to come bursting in on anything,” Laura laughed. “Tut well no girls like me except you and Gemma so why would I have a girl round here?” he asked. “Aww girls do like you,” Laura said putting her books down and sitting on the floor. “No they don’t,” he argued back. “Aw they do how can they not love your Bolton charm and that lovely accent and your outrageous good looks and your hilarious jokes,” she smiled. “Now that’s a lie even I know that my jokes are rubbish,” he said. “Aw ok that bit was but the rest isn’t,” Laura argued back. “Your just saying that, now come on whats up with this homework?” he asked changing the subject. “I cant do it,” she replied. “Ok then lets have a look,” he said looking at her book. They got down to work and tried to get her homework don

Chapter 4
While Laura and Danny done their homework together at Danny’s, Gemz and Harry had finished, it turned out Harry had known what to do with his homework all along and had just made up that excuse to get Gemz to come over so he wouldn’t be alone all night. They were listening to music and talking about things they had done as kids “Hey Harry, remember that time Laura and Danny pretended we fancied each other and tried to set us up? That was well funny” Gemz said laughing, Harry started to tickle her “Oh yea, what happens if it had of been true, You would have broken my little heart” Harry replies as he tickles Gemz more “Tut Harry stop it” Gemz giggles quietly, trying her very best not to show Harry she is enjoying it “Harry stops and sits up properly he helps Gemz up, and looks into her eyes and asks “What would you have said or done if it had of been true? If I had of fancied you?” Gemz takes a second to think about it and looks back at Harry, “I don’t know really, I was only a kid then, But if it was now I really don’t know, why you asking anyway?” Gemz looks at Harry interested to hear his answer “Oh, um its nothing, don’t worry” Harry says starting to panic a little and beginning to fiddle with his belt, “Harry, I have known you most of my life and I know when there is something on your mind, so come on honey spill” Gemz says determined to know what is up with him “well I cant really say, cause if I tell you Danny’s secret and he finds out he will tell you my secret and no offence but I don’t want you knowing, cause you will prob laugh and think I’m a loser” Harry says in a quiet voice “honey I would never call you a loser, so come on tell me Danny’s, then yours, that way Danny wont have to come telling me your secret plus he will prob be impressed that you have told me seeing as you don’t want me to know, I promise I wont laugh at you” Gemz says smiling at Harry “ok, well Danny fancies Laura” Harry replies “yea I know that” Gemz looks at Harry and laughs “really, how?” asks Harry incase he has let it slip in a past conversation “well come on Harry, I mean it don’t take a scientest to work it out, does it? Its in his body language” Gemz says “oh ok then” Harry says calming down “yea, and this secret of yours do you care to share it with me?” Gemz asks sweetly “yea, ok well um” Harry hesitates “Its not Laura I fancy, its you”
Chapter 5
Meanwhile back at Dannys they had finished the homework and Laura was collecting up her books. “Thanks a lot hun,” Laura smiled. “No prob any time,” he smiled back. “Anyway I best be going now,” she said standing up. “Aw do you have to?” Danny asked also getting up. “Yeh nans expecting me back for dinner,” she said heading towards the window. “Aw ok then,” Danny replied as she gave him a hug. “I’ll see you tomorrow yeh?” she said pulling away from him. “Yeh of corse,”
“Oh don’t forget to bring DVD’s and sleep stuff obviously,” Laura said as she started climbing out of the window. “Yeh I wont,” he smiled. “Nite hun,”
“Yeh nite,” he said as she disappeared out the window. Laura walked along the road and back to her nans. She took her books upstairs and then headed into the kitchen to find her nan. “Is Gemma back yet?” Laura asked her. “No not yet, can you let her know her dinner will be ready soon, if she wants to leave it for a bit I can put it in the microwave,” her nan replied. “Ok kool,” Laura pulled out her phone from her back pocket and sent Gemma a message. She went into the living room where her granddad was sitting watching Eastenders, “Hey,” she said sitting down. “Hi you ok?” he asked. “Yep great thanks,” she said watching the program as her phone beeped. She opened the message and read, “Hey just bored thought I’d text ya dunno what to talk about though Love Danny x” she giggled at his stupidness and hit the reply button, “Your such a nugget you know that, I can tell this is going to be one hell of a conversation, Love Laura x” and then she put it back in her pocket. After a little bit it went off again, “Yeh sorry just bored haven’t got anything to do Love Danny x” he replied. She smiled at the message then replied, “Its ok hun, I’m just watching Eastenders and waiting on Gemma coming home Love Laura x” she replied. “Why where is she? Love Danny x” he text back. “At Harrys,” she replied again. “Harrys? Ok Love Danny x” he said. When he heard that Gemma was at Harrys he slightly got worried incase Harry has said anything.
Chapter 6
Laura text Gemz to tell her about her dinner “Hey hun just to let you know nan said dinners nearly ready and if you are coming back that it will be in the microwave Laura x” Gemz phone beeped as she received Laura’s message, she didn’t even hear it she was it a state of total shock after what Harry had just told her, She had always thought about the day that a guy would tell her that he loves her, She thought he would be a tall dark stranger but she never thought that guy would be Harry. “Gemz” Harry shakes Gemz to get her attention “Yea” Gemz says still staring at the floor “you’ve got a text” Harry says starting to get worried about telling her “oh ok” Gemz pulls her mobile out from her coat pocket, reads the message, replies “Hey aww tell nan thanks but, I’m gonna stay here tonight me and Harry have some stuff to talk about Gemz x” she places the phone back in her coat pocket and turns to look at Harry “This isn’t a joke, is it?” asks Gemz still in a state of shock “No, infact you are the only girl I have ever felt like this about” Harry says calmly as he looks deep into Gemz eyes “And how do you feel?” asks Gemz coming round to the idea “Ever since I’ve been little, I’ve loved being around you, Loved going places with you, Just generally loved being with you, And then this past year or so I have been getting this weird feeling in my tummy, Its like its doing summersaults I have never felt like that about anyone before and when I explained it to Danny he said that it was love because he gets the same feeling about Laura, He knows how it feels because he remembered his mum explaining it to him as a kid “Ok, do you wanna know something” Gemz says as her phone beeps again, She reads the message “Ohh sounds important, I will leave you to it have a good night, Laura x” deletes it and places it back in her pocket “yea what is it” asks Harry sounding interested “I have felt the same about you for ages too but only this past two or three months” Gemz replies looking a little more setteled
Chapter 7
Laura didn’t get up the next day till about 12, she had spent most the night just chatting to Danny. She got up and headed downstairs, there was a note on the table from her nan, “We’ve gone to your aunts didn’t want to wake you so have a good night and see you tomorrow,” it read. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of orange juice. She looked in the cupboards to see what she needed to get from the shops. She went back upstairs and started getting dressed when Gemma came home. “Hey,” Gemma shouted from downstairs. “Hey I’m up here,” Laura shouted back and heard Gemmas footsteps coming up the stairs. “Hey you ok?” she asked as she walked in the room. “Yeh you?” Laura asked back. “Yeh good,” Gemma smiled. “How was your night with Harry?” Laura asked as she sat down on the bed. “Yeh was ok,” Gemma replied throwing her bags on the floor. “What was it about?” Laura questioned. “Oh just chatting really,” Gemma replied grabbing some fresh clothes out of her bag. “Sounded a bit serious,” Laura said brushing out her hair. “Nah just need to sort some stuff out you know homework and that,” Gemma lied to her. “Hmm right ok, well I gotta go down the shop so you wanna come or not?” Laura asked pulling her hair back into a ponytail. “Nah I’m gonna jump in the shower,” Gemma replied. “Ok kool, I’ll only be bout half an hour,” Laura said slipping on her vans. “You want anything?” she asked as she picked up her bag. “Um no think I’m ok,” Gemma replied. “Ok see ya,” Laura walked downstairs and grabbed her keys off the window seal. She jumped in her Mini and pulled out of the drive as she started driving up the road she saw Danny and pulled up. “Morning,” she smiled at him through the window. “Hey, where you heading?” he smiled back. “Shops, stocking up for tonite,” Laura lent out the window and stroked Fin, Dannys dog. “Aw kool, haha just taken him for a walk,” Danny told her. “Aw hes so sweet, anyway I better get on, see you later hun,” she smiled and drove off. She pulled up in the car park and went into the shop and got out her list of stuff that they would need for their film night.
Chapter 8
Danny watched Laura drive off down the lane, He decided to go in and pay Gemz a visit, see if he could find out if Harry had told her about his secret. Danny walked up to Laura’s nans front door and knocked “who is it?” Gemz shouted from the bathroom “its Danny” he shouted through the letter box “ok come on in I will be down in a sec” Gemz shouts back as she goes into her room to get ready “ok” Danny shouted up the stairs. Gemz got ready and run down the stairs with a towel wrapped around her wet hair “Hey hun, you ok?” Gemz asked smiling “Yea I’m fine, you?” Danny asked back “Yep I’m fantastic” Gemz replied “so um I heard you spent the night at Harry’s last night” Danny said as he filled a glass of water for himself “yea that’s right” Gemz says jumping up and sitting on the sideboard “what did you guys talk about” Danny asked getting worried “ohh just some little secrets, well some of his little secrets actually” Gemz said smiling “and what might they be” asked Danny sounding interested “well there is the one about you fancying Laura, the one about him secretly having a weird obsession with feet” Gemz said giggling “oh my god, he told you about me fancying Laura” Danny said shocked “yea, he did, we are best mates, me and Harry we tell each other everything, didn’t you know that?” asked Gemz “no I didn’t but I bet he didn’t tell you this little secret” Danny says taking a deep breath “what secret is that then” asked Gemz doing her best to sound puzzled “the secret that he fancies you” Danny blurted out “Ohhhh that secret” replied Gemz “yea he told me that little secret too” Gemz said sounding quiet pleased with herself while towel drying her hair “he did?” asked Danny shocked “yea, he told me last night” Gemz said searching for the hairdryer in the drawer “I didn’t think good old Harry woulda had the guts to tell you straight to your face, through a text maybe, but not to your face” Danny says shocked and a little disappointed because he cant get his own back on Harry for telling his secret “yea, well he did and he did it quite well actually, I am well pleased that he told me, cause I feel the same, and yes Danny before you ask I have told him how I feel” Gemz says all chuffed “oh, ok then, are you going to say anything to Laura?” Danny asks in a worried tone “well it all depends, I thought you would have told her yourself by now, seeing as you had threatened Harry with letting his secret slip, so maybe I will and maybe I wont who knows!” Gemz says getting her own back on Danny for Harry
Chapter 9
“Gemma come on you cant tell her please,” Danny begged. “Why not?” Gemma asked. “Coz I don’t wanna ruin things with her,” Danny replied. “Yeh but how do you not know that she don’t feel the same I mean Harry told me and he didn’t know I felt the same,” Gemma told him. “Yeh but I don’t want her to know,” Danny said with pleasing eyes. “Danny just tell her,” Gemma said. “No please you cant tell her,” he continued begging. “Ok I wont tell her for now but you have to tell her sooner or later,” Gemma said to him. “Ok ok thank you,” he said hugging her. “Argh, Danny get off me,” Gemma said wiggling. “Sorry,” he smiled letting go of her. “Here don’t fancy straightening my hair for me do you?” Gemma asked. “Ok,” he replied. Gemma finished drying her hair and then got her straightners.
When Danny was half way through straightening Gemmas hair Laura got back. “Hey I’m back,” she shouted. “Hey hun,” Gemma shouted back. Laura appeared at the living room door way. “Oh hey Danny,” she smiled. “Hi ya,” Danny smiled back. Laura walked into the kitchen to put away the shopping. “I’ll be right back hun,” Gemz said getting up. “Ok, please don’t say anything,” Danny said as Gemma walked out. “I wont,” she smiled. She walked through into the kitchen and started helping Laura unpack. “Aw you don’t have to do that,” Laura told her. “Nah its ok,” Gemma smiled. “Haha what did you do drag him indoors to get him to straighten your hair,” Laura laughed. “Nah he popped in and said he would, coz hes nice,” Gemma told her. “Yep sure is,” Laura smiled. “Last night me and Harry where talking about how weird it would be if one of us two got together with one of them,” Gemma laughed slightly. “Yeh it would wouldn’t it, I just totally couldn’t imagine going out with one of them, I mean weve known them way to long it would be strange,” Laura replied. “Yeh, suppose, anyway better get back cant have this half done,” Gemma said going to walk out. “Ok that was a random conversation,” Laura laughed. “Yeh I know, soz,” Gemma laughed and walked back into the living room to Danny.
After Danny had gone the girls both started getting ready for the boys coming over they both got changed into their pjs and chucked some duvets into the living room where there was a big stack of DVD’s for them to watch. Gemma was putting some drinks into the fridge when the door went. “I’ll get it,” Laura said running for the door. “Heyy,” she said as she opened the door to the boys. “Hey hun, nice outfit,” Tom said cheekily as they walked in. “Hey,” Dougie said as he walked past. “Hey, where’s Gemma?” Harry asked. “In the kitchen,” Laura replied. “Hey ya,” Danny smiled as he walked in. “Hey you ok?” she asked. “Yep your looking very gorg in them new pjs you got on,” he said. “You think?” Laura said giving him a twirl. “Yep definitely,” he replied. “Come on in hun,” Laura said walking back into the house.
