Me and Jamie walk back to the pavilion slowly. The air's warmer now and the rain has stopped for a little while. The clouds hang down over us like a grey blanket and seem to reflect my mood perfectly. When we return to the pavilion George and Matty are talking in rushed excited undertones. We take a seat with them

"What's going on?" says Jamie "what are you plotting?" Matty grins

"We're having a sleepover tonight girls, if you don't mind, our dorm at 11 with a shit load of... well, whatever's in my bag!"

"Sounds great" I say with as much enthusiasm as I can muster.

Afternoon sessions are off too because the rain returns with thunder joining it. Ally's still asleep so me and Matty decide to show George and Jamie our costume room. We mess around with the clothes, trying stuff on then discarding it carelessly until the whole room is a tip. Eventually we just lie in the mass of clothes and get talking. Matty and Jamie are deep in conversation about a film I've never heard of so I turn to George. I don't really know what to say so I start with the obvious

"Last night was pretty fun!"

"Yeah, it was a good night" he doesn't talk as much as Matty, you can tell he likes the sound of other peoples voices more than his own

"Pretty crazy game of... what was it?"

"Strips" laughs George "yeah Matty loves that game... me and him kissed didn't we?" I laugh at his tone - a mix of distaste and amusement

"Yeah you did" I smile "it was hilarious" we laugh a little and I run out of things to say for a moment. The silence isn't uncomfortable though and I take a moment to look at him. God, he's gorgeous! I need to stop thinking this about him... this won't end well otherwise...

"So you're the drummer?" I say

"Yep. I do the synth and mixing and stuff too... we record the samples then I kind of... make it into our sound I guess"

"Yeah I've heard some of the stuff... like antichrist I think it was called? I love the beat in that"

"Yeah it's like dancy without being dance... it's pretty trippy"

"Yeah that's what I thought when I heard it! I don't completely remember it as I was drunk but y'know" I laugh a little

"I can play it to you now if you want? I have it on my phone?" he seems so eager to listen to it with me so I agree

"That would be cool" I say. We listen and he talks me through the way he made each sound and beat work together. Most of it is a little complicated for me but I love the way he talks about it, you can tell it's his passion and he's so talented at it.

Before we know it it's the end of sessions and Ally's awake. We walk back through to the main room of the pavilion and take a seat with the rest of our group. "Right! Sorry about dosing off there guys... in about half an hour it's dinner! So we'll go and queue now!"

We follow her across the green, through the woods and all the way to the canteen. The queue is huge again so it's a while before we get our food. It's sausage and mash and everyone scoffs it down in about 3 seconds flat! When we're done we head to our dorms, me and Matty organise to text George and Jamie when the coast is clear so that they can come to our dorm without getting caught. While we wait me and Matty sit in the dorm listening to music and doing a few other things but I tell him I'm not in the mood for sex. We check outside the door at 11 and then we text them. A few minutes later they're at our door and we let them in quickly.

"It's freezing out there!" shivers Jamie

"Umm... have this" says George taking off his bomber jacket and wrapping it around Jamie's shoulders. He's wearing a sheer black jumper and you can see every muscle under it. Wow.
