The beeping of the alarm clocked echoed through my head. It was almost painful, waking up to it. I abesntmindedly yanwed and slowly opened my eyes, to the still dark room. After all, it was winter. And it was only 5am. I lifted my body off of the mattress, using my arms as support, and swung my legs round, sitting up, and stretching like a cat. On the other side of the room i could hear Lia snoring sweetly, so i decided to give her 5 more minutes. I quickly shuffled down the hallway and hopped into teh shower, the cold water waking me up instantly. Being used to the hot water not working, it did'nt faze me. So i continued my shower. I then moisturized my face and body, and pulled my pyjamas back on over my wet head. I then went back to my room.
Sliding my feet along the floor, I made my way to Lia's bed. It was hard to find her under her massive mound of fluffy blankets and pillows. But i eventually found her mound of black wavy bedhead and leaned down right next to her ear, and whispered ''Lia...Duncan is waiting..'' Onyl to get a bat of a hand as a response. I tutted and breathed in deeply. ''LIA, GET YOUR FAT ARSE OUT OF BED NOW.'' I yelled, making her jump and the mound of pillows and blankets fall to the floor, along with Lia. ''What the actual hell Ree.'' She said rubbing her eyes grumpily. ''Its time to get up, we have to be at the train station in 3 hours.'' I told her. ''You better start getting ready, the showers free.'' I added, giving her a morning hug. Surprsingly she hugged me back. ''Im actually so excited Ree, we're meeting the Yogscast today! I actually cannot believe it!'' She said smiling, it was good to see her mood brightening. I laughed and ruffled her hair, moving towards my closed suitcase, where i had placed the outfit i was wearing today on top of. It was simple, a pair of thick black leggings, a long sleeved cream top with bugs bunny on it, thick black socks, a cream jumper with slightly puffy sleeves and laced cuffs, pumps with studs on, and an armless black button up dress flowy coat to wear on top. I also had a cream knitted scarf for extra warmth. I pulled on everything but the coat and shoes and started on my makeup whilst Lia went for a shower.
Pretty soon she was out too wearing a more playful outfit, black leggings with watermelons on, a green yogscast teeshirt (Duncans design of course) simple brown leather boots, and two dark grey hoodies. Her idea for exra warmth, was a matching green beanie. If she got a cold, i tell you, im not looking after her. As soon as we had both done our makeup adn hair, we were both pretty excited, jumping around and squealing, and generelly making alot of noise. That's when Lia jumped about a little too much.
Seeing Lia fall into a pile of dirty clothes in a comicle way set me off on a fit of giggles, which then turned into heaving laughter between me and Lia. This is how excited we were. I guess we were kinda loud, 'cus the next thing i knew was Kirsten stomping into our room and screaming at the top off her lungs and i quote ''SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU STUPID HYENAS'' hyenas? It just made me and Lia laugh more but we had to cover our mouths and smother our faces with pillows in order to keep quiet.
A few minutes later me and Lia were rushing around gathering things like purses, cameras, phones, ipods, and a book each to read on the train and shoving them into our handbags. After we were ready i zipped up my bag and smiled at the creeper head keychain on the zip. Im such a minecraft geek. Lia decided that we should leave now and get to the train station nice and early, leaving us time for hot chocolates and something to eat.
Only how was that supposed to happen?
...................................................................................................................................................................................
So were on the train, only just. We didnt have time for coffee/hot chocolate as we were in a rush. Judith and Kirsten thought it would be really funny to hide my handbag just before we were about to leave, to make us late. In the end i had Kirsten held at the throat threatening to blend up David's old disgusting gym kit and feed it to her. Turns out they hid it (very badly) on top of Judiths wardrobe. Hahahaha amatuers.
3 hours, and 2 numb butts later (from the train) we were in Bristol. Wow, its bleak. And grey. And not so sunny. Just like everywhere else in England! Ahh lovely. Oh well, we're here! The same place as the wonderful Yogscast. Woooo.
''Smell that air Lia, is'nt this awesome?'' I said smiling and taking in the moment.
''Hack hack, cough, all i can smell is that dude with a cigarette in front of us. Lets hurry up and get out of the station, all i wanna do is sit down!''Lia said resting her head on my shoulder.
''After sitting for 3 hours straight on a loud train?Sure'' I said giggling. We lugged our suitcases along, getting past all the people and getting to the exit of the train station. ''What next Ree?'' Lia asked me.I looked at the hotel address, that i looked up last night. Luke recomended it for me, as he has been to Bristol before. ''Okay. Lets head to the hotel. Do you see any taxi's or buses?''
''Nope.'' Lia said yawning and sitting on her suitcase.
''Okay lets ask someone then. Him.'' I said pointing to a random dude in a blue suit and a cute little train hat. ''S'cuse me, do you know where the nearest taxi stop is?'' I asked him.
He pointed out that there was one right outside the station and that we couldnt miss it, I shrugged and grabbed Lia's arm towards the exit. Almost instantly we found a taxi and climbed in shoving our bags on our laps and lumbering down. ''This is so awesome! I cant believe were actually gunna meet our future husbands! Ahahaha.'' I joked to Lia jumping up and down in my seat slightly.
''I know right! I can't wait to see Duncan.'' She said right back
''I know Lia i kno-'' I started to say but then was interrupted by the taxi driver ''As exciting as your plans sound, can you two ladies tell me where you wanna go?''
''Oh!'' I laughed stupidly, we forgot to tell him. I told him which hotel and we got there suprisingly fast, and hopped out. The hotel was small, but cute. Victorian style, with rosey bushes and vines threaded all along the walls and under the windows.
Within minutes we were in our room and flopped on the two single beds. They smelt clean, with fresh white sheets. It was a simpel room, nothing fancy, but it would do.
''God I just realised how tired I am. Lets never get up at 5am ever ever ever again Lia.'' I said spreading my arms out to my sides.
''I know. This is all too much. How long have we got tilll the meetup?'' She asked. I checked my phone and worked out the math.
''6 hours and 37 minutes. Plenty of time.'' I said snuggling into the puffy pillow my head was on top of. Comfy..
''Wow. Do you think we might have time to take a little nap?''
''I guess..only for about 2 hours though kay?'' I said pulling my coat and socks off, snuggling down in my clothes.
...................................................................................................................................................................................
I woke up in a jump. I was confused for a second, wondering where i was, and then i remembered. Panicking, I looked at my phone. 1 hour and 37 minutes to get to the meetup. And we needed to sort our makeup and hair out, because we stupidly slept. And then actually find our way there. Shit.
