Briana's POV—————————————————

It's a regular day which means i'm getting ready to go over to the sturniolos house. I hang out with them pretty much everyday or when i'm not hanging out with alahna already. I will admit i'm kind of a loser but i really couldn't give a fuck. I keep my circle small and that's all i need in life tbh.

I got out of the shower and headed downstairs to get something to eat. As usual my mom and dad are at work. They're never really home so i do what i want most of the time without asking. It's better to ask for forgiveness not permission! I don't even know why my parents are still married. All they do is fight and accuse each other of cheating. I never take relationship advice from either of them.

I decided to make a breakfast sandwich and just grabbed a water to drink. After i was done eating i headed back upstairs to brush my teeth and get ready. I wasn't planning on wearing my natural hair but my dumbass forgot to put a shower cap on so here we are.

I put some product in my hair and left it down to dry. Marylou is obsessed with my natural hair so i try to wear it natural a lot more just for her. I sat down at my desk and started putting on my normal makeup. It only consisted of concealer if i had a pimple, bronzer, eyebrow gel, mascara, highlighter, blush, and lipgloss.

I walked over to my closet and tried to find something to wear. I know i have a lot of clothes but i have a couple comfort outfits which i wear almost everyday if i don't have to dress up for anything. I need to stop wearing the same thing but here i am just staring at my clothes lost.

After 15 minutes of looking for an outfit i decided on a baby blue cropped v neck tank, a black cropped zip up, some black shorts, and i threw on some ugg slippers since i want to be comfy. I get weird looks since it's summer but idc. Comfort over style anytime.

I left a note for my parents saying i was heading over to the sturniolos. I know they would be fine with it since i've been best friends with them since 6th grade. We've graduated and i'm sure i'm going to be stuck with them for the rest of my life. Which i don't mind at all.

I got in my car and instantly got music playing before i drove off. Music is my way of coping with anything minor inconvenience in my life. I don't even know what i would do without music. I put my rap playlist on shuffle and started driving to the sturniolos. It was only about a 10-15 minute drive so i got there pretty quick.

Once i pulled up i texted nick i was here and got my water, phone, and charger out of my car and started walking to the door. I knocked and was met with marylous face a minute later.

" Bri i told you, you didn't have to knock! You're welcome anytime!" She said giving me a hug which i had to slightly bend down for since she's a small woman.

" I'm sorry" I said laughing because of how sweet and cute she is.

We broke away and i came inside taking my shoes off by the door.

" You're hair looks so pretty." Marylou said as she smilied at me admiring my hair.

" Thank you so much! I've been wearing it natural just for you" I said laughing once again.

" BRIANA" I head nick yell from the kitchen upstairs.

I said bye to marylou and started heading upstairs to see why this kid is screaming my name. I walk into the kitchen and see Nick standing my the stove cooking pasta and matt scrolling through his phone at the island.

" Nick why are you screaming my name?" I questioned as i set my stuff down on the counter.

" Hey bri" Matt said finally looking up from his phone and giving me a hug. Matts so sweet.

" Hey matt" I said hugging him back smiling.

" I wasn't even that loud. And i was saying your name because me and matt need you to do something" Nick said turning around and trying to convince me he wasn't screaming bloody murder.

" Whatever you say nick and what?" I said laughing then got curious very fast.

" We need you to get chris up because it's 1 and he refuses to get up and we have shit to do today" Nick said getting into a mom stance and pointing the big spoon towards the hallway leading to chris's room.

" Ok" I said in more of a questioning tone because they've never told me to wake chris up before. He's either up when i'm here or nick wakes him up by screaming.

I make my way down the hallway and knocked before i went in chris's room because he's a boy and i don't know what he's doing under those covers. After a couple seconds i heard nothing so i quietly opened the door and was met with a sleeping chris. His hair was everywhere and he was pretty much completely covered by the comforter.

I look down to see a new lyrical lemonade rug that i'm definitely going to try to convince him to give it to me. I made my way over to his bed and jumped straight on top of him.

" Chris wake up nicks making pasta and it's rude to be asleep when i'm here" I said laughing.

All of a sudden i was pulled down onto the bed and had an arm wrapped around my waist pulling my body into a firm chest. Chris and i have always been physically close and we're always hugging or touching thighs or he has an arm around my shoulder. I froze up because this moment is just a little bit weird because i'm in his bed you know?

" You're warm" Chris mumbled into the pillow. God i've never heard his morning voice and let's just say it's making me feel some type of way. Not like that you horn dogs.

" Thank you chris but seriously get up it's like 1:30 and you have shit to do today" I said laughing while brushing a couple pieces of his hair out of his face because it looked uncomfortable. I heard him groan before he slowly turned over and started getting out of bed.

He stood up facing the bed still with his eyes closed and started stretching out his arms. He was wearing a white wife beater and blue plaid pajama pants. A little bit of his tank rolled up when he stretched and a bit of his calvin klein waist band was shown. I could stare at this all day.

" Take a pic bri" Chris said with his voice raspy and laughing.

" Shut up chris i wasn't even staring" I said getting out of his bed and starting to walk out of his room.

" Can i have this rug chris? It matches my room perfectly" I said turning to him and pointing at the rug.

" It's no every time bri. It's not going to change" He said laughing. He grabbed his phone and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

I walked back into the kitchen and jumped up on the counter because something about their counters make them so comfy.

" He's up by the way" I said pulling out my phone and start scrolling through instagram.

Chris came out of the bathroom and got a bowl of pasta for him then brought me over one. He ate leaning up against the counter right next to me causing our arms to touch.

" Do you guys want to go hang with alahna?" Nick said looking at me and chris.

" Yeah" We both said together causing us to laugh.

I jumped off the counter and nearly slipped because my socks slipped out from under me. Chris quickly grabbed my waist helping me stabilize myself. We both locked eyes and stayed there until we heard matt's keys jingle which knocked us out of whatever weird trance that was.

Tonight was going to be an interesting night.
