"GET. UP." Jade commanded.

I roll over, groaning as I search for any signs of what time it is without opening my eyes.

"Oh my god get up- your parents already left to go help Eliza get some dorm room stuff." Jade sighs, "Also, were you talking to Jaxon Holden last night?"

I peek out of from under the covers, Jade's make up less and her hair's a little ruffled but all in all she looks way to good for what- 10:00AM?

"Yeah." I mummer softly, "Surprise, right?" I say, a little dumbfounded, it's an understatement to say Jaxon kept my attention a little longer last night then our short interaction.

Jade frowns a little, "He's real sporty isn't he?"

"He's trying out for varsity captain or something isn't he?" I mumble, rubbing sleep out of my eyelashes, and a little leftover mascara.

"You don't try out to be a captain you idiot." Jade pauses, "Do you?"

"I don't know, why'd I wake up to sports trivia exactly?" I sigh, reluctantly scooting my torso out from under the covers.

"Because you admitted to contacting a popular, if you go tumblr because of a Decemberists concert the irony will actually crush me." Jade warns.

"Pinky promise." I sigh, "Can I sleep now?"

"No you idiot it's past noon!"

"That's close to night..." and then a pillow hit me.

So there I was tanning again, a black strapless bikini exposing as much skin as I could without feeling stupid.

"So much pale skin so little time." Jade sighed and I rolled my eyes even though neither of is could actually see the others face.

"As if you even need a tan, you porcelain goddess." I scoffed.

Her retort was cut short by the gate opening up to Lacey's backyard. We both sat up, I fixed my sunglasses a little and saw Mike coming in the gate, looking to excited for his own good.

"Hey guys- did you know Jaxons older brother is really cool?" he asks happily.

"He's a senior, isn't he?" I ask, I vaguely remember him walking with Jaxon- Jaxon may be tall but hell Max was even taller.

"Yeah, Max." Jade adds as we both sit up, "Is that it?" She asks, "Cause I need to tan."

"Actually he wanted to hang out." Mike smiles, "I was wondering if you guys wanted to come- we're gonna see a drive in later."

My head perks up and Jade rolls her eyes, "It's like you're baiting her." Jade sighs.

"It's not my fault my wicked friend looooves drive ins." he smirks

"What movie?" I ask, smiling.

"They're re-running perks of being a wallflower." He replies and I smile, turning to Jade.

"That punk rock enough for you?" I ask, smirking.

She sighs, "Yeah yeah I'll go, but you're paying for popcorn."

"JADE? GET IN THE GODDAMN CAR!" I yell out the window, sighing as a pull my head back into the car.

"You're not supposed to drive angry." Jade smirks, walking slowly to car. Shes wearing white Keds with shorts and a big, maroon Ramones t-shirt tucked into them, a red flannel tied around her waist.

Mike laughs, "She's right ya know." I sigh rolling my eyes.

"So this kids house is on your street?" I affirm, pulling out of the drive way.
