I settle myself on the couch and grab the remote to turn on the television as I hear the water begin to trickle in the bathroom.

Tomorrow is the day we leave for the semi-finals, and I have yet to figure out who I'm going to sit next to on the bus there. It is a very important decision, seeing as though I'll be stuck with this person for over twelve hours. Marcus will inevitably be going with Jakob, Cam with Aaron, oh god... Eren and Kai. I really hope I'm not sitting near them, who knows what they could get up to with so much time on their hands in a confined space.

I would love to sit next to Dane but I'm well aware Fern will be occupying that position, considering the two have such a close bond. I suppose I could sit with Ash, what other option do I have? Besides, Ash and I get along for the most part, he's a cool dude when he's not talking about all the women he's banging... which is almost always.

Oh well, I can put up with it, especially seeing as my only other option is Lee and that is not happeni-

"Sparky?" I jumped slightly at his voice, I was in such a daze I didn't even notice Lee walk into the room.

"Sorry I was a little distra-" my words cut off as I finally looked up at Lee, shirtless, water dripping down his lean- but muscular -body. His forearms flex as he crossed his arms across his torso and I'm partially mesmerised by a drop of water that slowly trails down from one. I watch as it glides along his abdomen, then his belly button before getting caught up in the little hairs trailing up from his towel.

"It seems you are still distracted... though if I were to guess it's probably about something more filthy then when I found you. Unless you make a habit of conjuring up dirty thoughts of your captain and- according to you -biggest rival." Lee teases with a dangerously devilish smirk.

"Trust me, I have much more important things to be thinking about in my spare time than whatever you're currently imagining to be going through my head." I snark back.

"Right, you were clearly staring at my naked torso and thinking about what to knit your grandmother for christmas," He retorts.

"As a matter of fact I was, do you think she'd enjoy a matching sweater vest for her and her hairless cat?" I smile broadly, as much as I hate to admit it, I quite enjoy our bickering.

Lee returns my smile and signals for me to scoot aside, "Shut up idiot," he chuckles lightly before jumping down on the couch beside me. He snatches the remote from me and I don't fight him, "So what do you wanna watch?"

It has been six hours since we put on the first movie and it looks like a toddler had a temper tantrum in the living room. There is popcorn flung across all corners of the room, courtesy of the popcorn fight Sparky started when I admitted to not liking The Conjuring trilogy. And the crumbs of cake littering the couch and carpet, the cake I brought out as an apology for being so wrong about his favourite horror movies series after he forced me to rewatch all three movies with him. Random glasses half filled with a combination of liquids from when we decided to try mixing all the soft drinks we had in different ways till we finally found the best mix- which, by the way is a third of cola, a third of lemonade and lastly a third of raspberry creaming soda.

The table is completely knocked over because I made Sparky watch High School Musical for the first time and while I was standing on the table pretending to be Gabriella in the end duet, Sparky thought he was talented enough to join me. However as soon as he turned to look at me during Troy's line his foot just barely missing the edge and him falling off shifted the balance and forced the whole table to tip over, dragging me along with it! I ended up on top of him, which he was sure to make a crude joke about before I stood up, 'accidentally' stepping on his balls while getting off him. He threw the closest thing he could grab at me, which happened to be a bag of chips that had already been open, leaving chips to decorate every surface in a three metre radius.
