“Oh that sucks. Well long distance sucks, not the being able to visit from time to time.” Nina said.

“It does, but we’re making it work so far, hopefully it’ll continue like that” he said with a smile “And how are you with… Jack is it?”

“Mine too! Who do you play as?” She asked with a smile. “That’s cool you produce a song on Twitch. I mainly just do Valorant and Animal Crossing. I do the occasional Just Chatting too.”

“Of course Phoenix my boy, though I sometimes play with Reyna and Sage as well. And you?” he asked, “We should maybe play sometime” he said

“Awww that’s so cute!” Nina said. “How come your girlfriend doesn’t live here? That’s gotta be rough.”

“She has a job over there, but she will come to visit as much as she can, and I’ll do the same”

“Yes! I am. What kind of games do you play?” She asked. “Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it. I feel as long as I don’t pay attention to the gossip blogs, I’ll be okay. I tend to just ignore hate anyway.”

“Valorant is my favourite, I sometimes play minecraft or gta, among us, I sometimes produce a song live as well. How about you?” 

“Yes I do. Really? You do?” She asked with a smile. “That’s so cool.” She laughed. “I’m glad that I decided to join this madness too. Any tips for the new girl? I have no idea what to expect when we arrive at the mansion.”

“Yeah, lately I’ve been busy with the boys but I do love streaming and gaming. Are you a gamer?” he asked “Well just have fun, and don’t pay attention to those gossip blogs and shit. Everyone has been wonderful to me though, so I’m sure you’ll have no problem adapting yourself to this place”

“Oh you got very lucky then.” Cher said with a laugh. “How’s the band going? You lads just hit like the decade mark, didn’t you?”

“Yeah, we just celebrated our ten-year anniversary, we’re releasing a greatest hits album along with a zine for the fans, and we’re doing a tour as well. We’re just having fun and enjoying the process of it all”

“Who knew that I would arrive in the middle of a party?” Grace asked with a laugh, as she walked along the beach. “A lot of my cast mates are here, and I wanted to join into the fun too. Hi, I’m Grace. You might know me as Chrissy Cunningham from Stranger Things, or that girl who streams on Twitch. However you know me, it’s nice to meet you and I’m glad to be here.” @acfstarterblog

“Oh you stream on Twitch? I do too” he said with a smile “I’m Connor, nice to meet you too and glad you decided to join this madness” he chuckled.

“Oh did you really? That had to be fun to be back home for a while.”

“It was, I love spending time with my family and I got to see my girlfriend too so that was great” he said with a smile.

“You are very lucky to have not met him. If you had and had signed with him he would have put you beneath One Direction.”

“I bet he would, I mean I joined the band pretty much when the boys had already signed with EMI Records and Prestige Management so I’m thankful for that”

“There was like no tea to spill during the wedding. A lot of tears though.” Nina laughed.

Connor chuckled “Well that’s a shame, I can’t say if there’s been gossip here either, I practically just got back from the UK” he admitted.

“Hopefully all the tea. I know I’ve got a lot of it to spill myself.” Cher said with a laugh. “Oh it was awful. Simon is a fucking scumbag.”

“I never actually met the guy, but that’s what I keep hearing about him. I’m kind of glad we didn’t have to cross paths with him”

“Yes, Nessa and I were both at Sarah and Wells’s wedding and yes it was beautiful, now let’s focus on something else, like who has drama or gossip or something to talk about?” @acfstarterblog​

“I mean you should, you went to a wedding. There’s usually lots of gossip at weddings, isn’t there?”

“So, if you had to suffer through Simon and X Factor, then guess what, two production companies and an undisclosed channel are working together about a devastating documentary about X Factor and the bullshit all of us went through and it’s so great to see karma come around.” @acfstarterblog· 

“Whoa, so we’re getting all the tea, that one’s going to be great” he said “I don’t know exactly what you guys went through but I’m sorry, it must have been really hard”

“Exactly one day at a time. Some days just suck, others don’t.” Max shrugged. “That’s really awesome. Are you lads doing a tour or anything?”

Connor nodded “It might be like that for a while but reminisce in all the good things you went through together” he said “That’s the plan yeah, we announced our anniversary tour in the UK a month ago and right now we’re making a schedule for other international dates”

“As you should be. Ten years is a huge accomplishment.”

Connor nodded “Almost all the bands break up or take a hiatus before turning ten, so being here still feels like a big achievement” he chuckled

“Connor, hey there mate.” Max smiled and shook his hand. “I’m doing better.” He said with a shrug. “How are you doing?”

“One day at a time mate” he said at the other male, “I’m doing great thank you, a little busy with some stuff we have going on with the band’s anniversary”
