    Lily was standing In front of her mirror , dressed in her nightwear . An over sized shirt and pajama pants, her best friend was to arrive back into Derry soon that afternoon from her vacation. Xandra of course bringing back 'a few' gifts for lily. Lily brushed her teeth thoroughly, spitting out the minty foam. Rinsing her mouth with water and going on with washing her face. Lily softly brushed her hair until it was free from any tangles and knots that had gathered from her combatable sleep.  Lily was once again found with nothing much to do. She spent some some time with Xandra to where it was hard to find her not with her. They were attached to the hip , beyond the slight differences they shared. Suppose their differences brought them together in a way , being the same would be boring to them . To be fair, being friends with someone just like you would would be awfully boring, who'd want to hang out with themselves, right? 

   Lily decided to treat herself today, she thought she needed it . Her bathroom we clean, she always cleaned it well. She didn't like the idea of bathing somewhere dirty and grime-covered. She sat herself on the edge of the tub and put in the bath plug. She twisted the knob, a rush of water spat out of the faucet . She let the water run awhile before twisting the knob to make the water a little hotter. She grabbed a bottle of lavender bath soak, and spilling some of it into the water. Bubbles instantly started to form . Lily dipped her hand into the water mixing the soap and water together.  she got up and walked into her room picking out her outfit for the day. and displaying it neatly on her bed before walking back into her bathroom and closing the bathroom door. She stripped off her clothes and placed them on the bathroom counter . Lily looked at her nude and exposed self through the bathroom mirror. she liked think of herself as a painting most time while looking at herself, artistic and admired . But not always had she felt that about herself, sometimes she'd feel like a hog .

   After her short gaze at herself, she turned to the bath and sat on the cold edge of the tub. The water was deep enough for her liking and bubbles lingered the the surface. She twisted the knob , the gust of water slowing down until a stop, a few drops followed. Lily stood up dipped her foot into the water . The water was very warm, her other foot joined into the water and she sunk into the tub . Relaxing her muscles and inhaling deeply and exhaling the air back out. She sighed ready to dip her head down into the water. When she did water invaded the rest of her dry skin , her ears filled with water, sounds of the water warbling as it moved. Lily didn't hear the consistent knocking on her bedroom door as she she was engulfed underneath the water. Lily felt warm and cozy, everything had washed away , the thoughts of how to spend summer break, the angst that seeped into her  , the un-wanting date of going back to school , the thoughts of Patrick. She arose from the water, soapy water coated her skin and that is when the knocking came more apparent. 

  Lily, not wanting to get out of the comfort and relaxation of her bath shouted out intending her shout to go towards who ever was at the door. who who most likely belch  " WHAT?! IM IN THE BATH REG GO AWAY". Lily took a deep breathe once done shouting.

Belch walked into her room and towards the bathroom door, he didn't open the door, respecting her privacy.

" the guys are here, by the way . So don't get too comfortable " he gruffed out. Lily sighed, her hands grabbing a hand towel and sinking it into the water. 

" why are they always here, why cant you guys hang out somewhere else?" she asked, she ran the hand towel up and down on the skin of her body.

" well henry's house.... is well henry's house . Patrick wont let us go to his place, and Vic's mom wont let us inside anymore because of last time " he said. Remembering the last time the went to victor house, Mrs. Criss had owned a beautiful crème colored couch . Mrs. Criss was very picky on who sat on it or what you did on it . Patrick had spilled soda and accidently knocked over a candle onto the couch leading the couch to catch fire. Mrs. Criss came back inside from the market right as the boys were trying to put on the arising fire on her couch. To say Mrs. Criss was upset was an understatement . 

" then hang out somewhere else today, like outside, it's not to hot " she said

"  no problem I guess, were only staying here for a bit , then were heading to Susan k's party " he said . Lily ears perked at the words party,  Susan K was a pretty girl, her parents were wealthy and were never home . Which led Susan K to throw house parities shamelessly ,Lily had also witnessed Susan K come out of her brothers room late at night while lily was in the dark kitchen up to get a glass of water. Susan would be flushed and covered in hickeys. When she figured out what belch and Susan did that night, she couldn't look him in the eye.  Once lily told told Xandra about it, Xandra would tease belch whenever she was over at their house.  One of the many reasons why belch didn't like Xandra, thought she wasn't the right friend for Lily, but to be fair he too didn't have a great choice in friends. So he let their friendship be, he also saw how happy Xandra made Lily. 

" really?" she said in a knowing tone , running the wet hand towel along her collarbones. Belch sighed , knowing he will deeply regret saying this " you wanna come?" he asked . Lily thought for a moment or two.

" sure, xandra is suppose to come back today, maybe she can come with . What time is it?" she stated then asked 

" around 9, so be ready before hand, the car is gonna be packed if I'm taking you , Xandra and the guys. " he said 

" ok , now LEAVE!"  she said loudly. belch scurried off and went back to his friends. Mostly him , Patrick and Vic talking. Henry just sitting and staring down belch's  hallway ,  deep in thought.

   Alexandra had arrived home and helped her parent bring in their luggage. She picked up her beloved cat, Gillie, from her neighbors house. After a session of showering Gillie with love , she grabbed the two large paper bags full of 'gifts' that she bought over the course of the week . She exited her house, sparing her parents not a glance. Not answering any questions about where she was going.  They assumed she was going to lily's house, she always went there. When she arrived, she went to the front door and twisted the knob to test if it was locked. It wasn't , so she let herself in . She walked in and kicked the door shut. The chatter of teenage boys ceased and looked towards the girl who had entered .  She turned and frowned at the four boys, she narrowed her eyes at Patrick and walked slowly to the hallway .

" hello dipshits -" she said before walking further down the hallway

"bye dipshits!" she said laughing to herself. Xandra entered Lily's room and saw lily sitting on her bed , her phone to her ear. "oh..." lily muttered and put down her phone and then in a flash smiled ear to ear and ran into Xandra's arm . Xandra dropping the bags in progress , Xandra smiled and hugged her back. They pulled away and Xandra dragged the bags to the side of lily's bed and sat down

" now , look through the gifts I got you" Xandra smiled  . Lily softly smiled and pulled out the first item that she touched . She checked out the item she pulled out . A oversized grey T shirt  that had ~SALEM, MA~ printed on it , a witch on a broom printed with it. Lily laughed and smiled

" its for you to sleep in of course , I accidently got XXL instead of a medium , I guess someone switched the tags because I swear I got a medium . " Xandra said shrugging .

" also most of the stuff in here are special snack ands stuff that I've never seen in Derry before. I also got you a postcard to put up on your wall . " Xandra said  ,

"all of this is so great Xan..." Lily said smiling. She hugged Xandra one more time before they chatted back and forth . Eating snacks and watch Tv on the TV in her room , later on Lily had informed Xandra about the upcoming party the were going to.
