A/N: I'm not sure what exactly happened with the last chapter but some of it got cut and hopefully it should be back now. Sorry for the mistake though.

-Chewing gum-

-Alex's POV-

I head into the shop along side Cassie whose dressed in a light pink t-shirt and some nice jean shorts. 

I grab a few bottles of water and a packet of crisps. I wait for Cassie to grab some things then head to the counter. We place our things on the counter. I lean back focusing my gaze on Cassie. 

"You look nice today." I say out of no where.

Cassie looks up from her phone, "I don't really."

The guy behind the counter speaks, "no, you really do like nice today."

"Exactly." I reply smiling. 

The guy behind the counter is young probably our age. He's got black hair which has been pulled back almost like Lewis' or similar. He has a nice smile and overall a nice figure. He looks as if he works out daily.

I cough and face the guy at the counter, "How old are you?"

"20." He replies.

I lift an eyebrow and then take the bag off the counter, "take your time."

I wink at Cassie and head back to the car without her.

Maybe this is the guy who'll appreciate her for what she wants herself to be appreciated for.

I place the bag in the back with David whose currently laying across the middle row of seats with his hat over his face. 

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"It's warm." David replies.

Charles approaches me and smiles, "Jason has an issue and he needs you to help him."

"Where is he?" I ask.

"Lads room." Charles replies.

I nod and make my way to the toilets. I head inside, "Jason?"

"I sat in fucking gum." Jason growls.

I spot him in the corner rubbing at his trousers. There's a large white stain along his trousers. 

I let out a small laugh.

"It's not funny!" Jason groans.

"Dude chill, I have a spare pair of trousers in the back of the car!" I confess.

"Can you go get them?" He asks.

I shake my head, "nope, you have to get changed in the car as everyone else is pretty much ready to go."

"You're kidding me, right?" He complains.

I shake my head, "Come on."

He reluctantly follows me to the car where now everyone is inside.

I go to the back and rummage through some of the things. I pull out a spare pair of shorts, "here."

I hand the shorts to Jason and he grits his teeth, "I thought you said trousers."

I shurg and laugh but he still climbs into the back seat next to Charles. 

I climb into the front of the seat again.

"What's with Jason and his annoying fidgeting?" Cassie asks.

I laugh, "Ask him."

"Jason,  what's going on?" Cassie asks.

"I some how sat in chewing gum!" Jason groans trying to pull off his trousers.

Cassie starts laughing.

"It's not funny!" Jason argues.

"What's not funny?" Trott's dad asks. 

"Jason sat in gum!" Cassie explains. 

Everyone starts laughing again but he settles them down, "come on guys, behave yourself like mature adults."

"Yeah but we aren't." David points out.

"Yeah, I can see that." Mr. Trott replies shaking his head.

He climbs into the driver seat, "ready?"

I nod, "For sure."

"Good because it's another hour or so away, so I suggest buckling up for a long ride." His says grinning in his rear view mirror at the others then turning to smile at me.
