My phone went off for the hundredth time. Ash and I had been texting all day, much to my friends annoyance. I reached out for my phone but Dawn slapped my hand.

"We need you to help us with the project. Ash can wait I am sure he is just as busy"

I moved away from my phone and sighed "Alright, fine"

I moved over to the robot and got the grey paint and a brush.

"Ash stop playing with your phone and come help us" Drew looked over across the room at me. I put my phone down and sighed.

"Alright fine" I made my way over to Cilan and Drew, stepping over paper that was littered all over the room.

"So how is it all going?" I asked Cilan who was silently working on a piece of track. He decided to make it out of a high density plastic, because it was stronger or something. He raised a finger at me, so I waited.

"I think we might have to make this into a jigsaw" Cilan put down the plastic and turned to me "You know, so they all connect together easily"

"Sure, you're the genius here" I agreed. Drew was busy on the computer researching on magnets and electrical currents. He was furiously writing away on a piece of paper.

"Do you want me to cut the ends of the tracks up and make jigsaw like pieces?" I looked at the 4 already carefully crafted pieces. It would take precision to cut them.

"Sure, I'll keep making more" Cilan spoke indirectly to me, working on another piece. I picked up the other pieces and sat down. I wonder how Serena is doing?

"So how are things between you and Ash now?" Dawn asked me while carefully painting the case of the robot.

I looked up and stopped painting, thinking for a moment. How was it really going, in my opinion?

"I think it's going great. It started off a little rocky but we are back on track now. So, what about you and Kenny?" I asked in return.

Dawn let out a little sigh "Ok I guess. He isn't really attentive. Compared to Ash, you have been slacking off to reply to him"

"That's true I suppose" I let out a little laugh. She was right about Ash being attentive.

"This isn't going to paint itself" May stepped up behind us "Less chatting more brushing"

Dawn glared back at her "And what are you doing to help?"

May stood there in an awkward silence, before giggling nervously "I should help you guys paint" She suddenly hurried with a brush and began painting. I looked at Dawn and shrugged, before we carried on.

"What's Iris doing?" I asked May, who stopped to talk.

"She went to skype Clemont. Since he isn't here anymore she had to use skype. We need to know how to program this thing in the best way possible" I looked over May to see Dawn staring at us.

"Less chatting more brushing" She mimicked May. Laughter erupted from us all as we continued to paint. I wonder how Ash is doing.

This project was proving a little difficult and I was getting frustrated due to the fact that it was hard to cut into the plastic. Even with the tools. The sudden sound of my stomach rumbling was a cue for a break.

"You guys wanna order some pizza?" I got up and wiped the sweat from my brow. Drew span round in his chair and stretched up.

"Ahh... you bet, Ash. Get on that phone!" Man he was impatient. Cilan also got up and left his work on the floor.

"I suppose we can take a break. I am hungry" He said, his stomach rumbling. I ordered some pizza on my phone and we turned on the tv while we waited for it to arrive.

"So, Ash" Drew looked across the room to me.

"Hmm?" I looked up from the tv to him.

"How are things between you and Serena now?"

"Things couldn't be better. I am glad it's all back now" I contemplated the future, but I was confident about our relationship "There wont be any more interruptions, I believe that"

"I hope there won't be any too, you two make quite a nice couple" Drew looked at Cilan for his opinion. Cilan nodded in agreement.

"It makes everyone happier, seeing you guys together" He added.

I wasn't sure if that put me under pressure. After all I would hate to see my friends in bad moods. I wanted us all to be happy.

I kind of wanted to move on from this conversation, so I jumped for joy when the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it, pizza's on me tonight" I walked over to the door with my money in hand.

We enjoyed some pizza before I realized the time.

"You guys better go, my Mom will be back soon"

Cilan closed his empty box "Right, lets go clean up"

"Fine" I moaned. Cleaning my room was bad enough but our project had created a bomb site in the spare room. We spent a little over ten minutes scooping up paper and neatly putting our work together. Cilan took everything in his bag and he and Drew stepped outside.

"See you tomorrow, we will carry on as soon as we get here" Cilan hooked his bag over his shoulders.

"See you guys!" I shouted, before shutting the door. I took a deep sigh of relief. Too much work was being put into 25% of our final grade.

I wasn't sure if it was worth the time. Time I could spend with Serena.
