I woke up late the next day, at around half eleven, though I'd hardly had any sleep. Rememering snatches of nightmares I'd had, glimpses of the girl with the cold blue eyes haunting me. I shivered, half expecting her to be standing right outside my window, or even behind the door in my bedroom.  

Stop it Hannah, I told myself, you're being utterly ridiculous, you should've been prepared for this, there will most likely be other girls out there just like her, and anyway, how on earth could she know where you live?  

But no matter how hard I tried to convince myself nothing was wrong, it seemed like something was. I couldn't get those cold, cruel, emotionless eyes out of my head, everytime I closed my eyes they flashed before me, full of hatred and disgust. And at every noise I heard, whether it was a car rumbling past, or a branch hitting the window in the kitchen, I jumped, scared to death, incase it was her.  

I need to stop stressing out, I told myself with force, and got up from my seat on the window ledge and walked over to my desk and picked up my phone: 2 new messages and one email. One message from Sophie saying:  

Heyy Hannah! U still ok for later? I finish at 4pm today so I can come round at around that time maybe? If u need anything or have other stuff in mind let me know! :) xx

I replied with: hey, yes that's perfect, just come round whenever u want, I won't be doing anything much today until u get here, can't wait! :D xx

My other message was from Nathan, just a simple goodbye with a 'don't worry' and a smiley face and about a dozen kisses. I thought twice about replying, he might be on the airplane by now, so I went and checked my email instead, again from Nathan with another goodbye and a 'see you soon' and 'don't forget to email and don't worry!' He'd attached a silly picture of him and Jay mucking around and pulling silly faces which made me laugh out loud to myself. I replied with:  

Goodbye, have a good time! Don't you worry about me worrying, I'll be fine. See you soon! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 

P.S - no secret holiday romances.... I will know ....I've heard all the Jaythan rumors.. ;) xxxxxxx

I though that would make him smile. I locked my phone and started to tidy the house for Sophie coming round.

Halfway through my cleaning regime, my phone vibrated in my pocket, making me jump and drop the dustpan and brush, sprinkling dirt all over the floor again. Ugh, I thought, sighing and rolling my eyes. I tidied up the mess for the second time, and thenn reached inside my pocket for my phone, Sophie again:

OH MY GOD BABE I HAVE SERIOUS NEWS!!!!!!!! I CAN'T TELL YOU NOW BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MUCH TO SAY BUT OMG I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU EVEN MORE NOW THIS IS LIKE THE MOST AMAZING THING I NEED TO TELL YOU NOW OMG!!!!!!!! WHY IS FOUR O'CLOCK SO FAR AWAY???? WHYYYYYYYY??? xxx

Any other person looking at my phone would've thought Sophie was slightly crazy, well she was a bit, but aren't we all? Only yesterday I was throwing flour around my boyfriend's kitchen and at him. But this was sort of out of the ordinary for Sophie, something great must have happened for her and I was eager to find out too. I couldn't wait for four o'clock either now.

By the time I'd finished tidying the house completely, from top to bottom, it was exactly three mintues past four, I sprinted for my phone which was lying in the kitchen and dialled Sophie's number, she picked up on the first ring,  

"I'm just locking up! I'm just locking up!" She exclaimed with Sophie,  

"That wasn't very professional Sophie," I said with a smile on my face, "for all you know I could've been your mother!"  

"Yes, well I knew it would be you anyway, my mum never phones me, like ever,"  

"Whatever, come on, tell me now! Spill! I need to know! I don't think I've ever been as impaitient or as agitated in my whole life! It was torture!"
