Sally Pov:

I fall asleep for about an hour then wake again. I'm too excited to sleep. Lucy and Maddy both have headphones in and are asleep. My phone buzz's.
I have a mini heart attack thinking it's my mum. I'm supposed to be at Lucy's. What if her a Dad woke up and found we weren't there?! I turn over my phone to see who's the caller. It reads 'Holly'.
I sigh in relief. It's just Holly!
I pick up.

"Hey Holly." I whisper.
"Hi Sally. You on the train yet?" She asks.
"Yeah we have been on for about an hour now." I reply.
"Yeah, I would have come but my mum would have found out and I would have been in HUGE trouble!" She says, sighing.
"Would have been cool if you could've come, Holly!" I say.
"Yeah!" she yawns, "well i'm going to sleep now. text me when your there?" she asks.
"Of course. Bye Holly." I say.
"Bye." she hangs up.

Lucy starts to stir. Her eyes flicker open. "Your awake." She says still half asleep.
"Well done." I say sarcastically.
"Shut up." She says, laughing. "Get some sleep Sal, you won't wanna looked drained for Theo, Ansel and Shai!" She says yawning.
"I just keep thinking about if your Dad wakes up." I say.
"I left him a note." She says casually.
"Saying...?"
"Where we are." She says.
"Will he mind?" I ask.
"Probably but I don't care. It will be worth it!" She says and falls back asleep.

I re-position my pillow and try to get some sleep.

"Tickets please." A stern, fat man says.
Maddy and Lucy jump awake. We hand over our tickets and he checks them. "Your a bit young to be on a train by yourselves? Aren't you?" He says. Maddy and I both look at Lucy. "Oh no, sir. My parents are meeting us in London and besides, we are 16." Lucy says confidently.
He raises his eyebrows. "You look quite young?"
"Yes, we get that a lot." Lucy says.
He nods and walks off.
Maddy and I raise our eyebrows at her, shocked.
"Smooth." I say and laugh.

At 6am we arrive at London station. We grab our bags and hop off.
When we get outside the station Maddy gets out her phone to call a taxi to take us to the town centre.
"Uh-oh." Maddy says.
"What?" I ask.
"4 miss calls from my mum." She says.
"Four," she smirks, "Get it?" Lucy smiles.
We laugh.
"Nah, you'll be fine! just...stay alive." I say.
"Hey! I got that. Very smooth." Lucy says, noticing my Hunger Games reference.
Maddy nods as she dials for a taxi.
After 10 minutes of waiting our taxi arrives.

When we reach the town centre we decide to have a little shop.
"How much money did you bring?" I ask.
"£240" Lucy says.
"Bloody hell, Luc!" I laugh.
"£120" Maddy says.
"I brought £155." I say.
"Well I thought, just incase we need a little extra!" Lucy says.
"What for?" I ask.
"Clothes or merchandise!" she laughs.
"The premiere is at 7:00pm so we precisely...11 and a half hours to do what we like!" I say. We cheer and head to costa for breakfast.
