chap 1!!!

waking up at 7am on a Monday, summer morning to your friends talking over their walkie talkie isn't very idle for a thirteen year old, is it?

   "can you all please talk on a different channel?" emma asked half asleep still. "oh, good morning to you too emma!!" Lucas sarcastically said. "hey emma, we're all meeting at the pool in an hour if you want to meet us there?" "yeah mike, ill be there ill just have to pick up will first!" emma said throwing her walkie talkie on the ground to eat breakfast and go to the pool.

    emma ate her avocado toast for breakfast, then gave her farewells to Steve before he had to go and sling ice cream. todays pick of a swim suit was her baby blue and white floral bikini. she lathered up some sunscreen and threw her hair into a low bun; before riding off into the early sun to pick up will.

    will and emma have always been best friends. since the day they saw eachother in pre-k they instantly clicked. having will go missing had a real effect on emma, but only brought them closer to one another.
-FIRST POV-
i rang the door bell and mrs byers opened the door, "hey emma! id love to talk but ive got to head to work, have fun at the pool!" joyce said practically darting out the door. i stepped inside of the byers house and went directly to wills room. i knocked before going in just in case... you know. "hey will can i come in?" i asked. "yeah!!". "we're supposed to be there in ten minutes let's goooo!" we practically sprinted out of the door and hopped on the bikes

will and i were the third people to get there.
once everyone was there, max and i went into the
girls locker room to go to the bathroom before
we got into the pool; and apply sunscreen of
course. when we got out of the bathroom
the boys were waiting for us outside.
"what took you guys so long? lemme guess
'girl things'" mike sarcastically asked.
"girl things" i responded, earning a smirk
from max. "can we just get into the pool?" Lucas whined.

there was barely anyone in the pool today, it
was colder for a summer day; only 70 degrees.
the first person to jump in the pool was
lucas, than will, than mike. max and i decided to tan. until that got ruined by mike and
Lucas dumping water all over us, will laughing next to them.

after the pool mike and i decided to hangout
at my house. it's not like my parents cared or were home. i hopped into the shower to get
the chlorine out of my hair.

mike and i had thirty minutes to be alone until steve came home from work. we went into my room, closed the blinds and watched E.T (my
favorite movie). ten minutes in came the make-out sesh. mike was a good kisser, well
hes only the second guy ive kissed. but out of
the two, hes better at it. he held my waist as we kissed, i had my hands in his hair. that's when i heard the front door open. of course the one
day mike comes over; steve comes home
early from work.

"emma!? are you home?" steve yelled throughout the house. "yeah! mikes here too!" i yelled back, i swear i heard a groan. "okay ill be in the shower, let's all go to the movies after!" steve yelled; again. as soon as i heard the water running, the make-out sesh resumed where it
ended.

after steve got out of the shower it took
him another thirty minutes just to
do his hair. he claims it's for the 'ladies' but, i
never see him bring ladies home. once steve
got done doing his hair, we stopped by a
mcdonalds. yes im thirteen but i still have to
get my happy meals. steve got a big mac and
a large fry. mike got a six piece nugget meal
with a large fry and vanilla milkshake.

we made it to the movies five minutes before starting time. so that means we missed the
previews. of course. the starring movie of the
day was 'the breakfast club'. ive already seen
it but i don't want to ruin it for mike
and steve.

after the movie was over it was time for
steve to drop of mike. i would've given him a
kiss good bye, but steve was in the car
so it would've been awkward. steve and i made
it home, and practically went straight to bed.
still no parents home, probably on vacation for
the rest of summer; and didn't tell us.
wouldn't be the first, or second time that happened.

before i hit the hay, steve knocked at my door.
"come in!" he walked straight to me and plopped
on my bed. "i cant believe you'll be fourteen
tomorrow... im sorry mom and dad won't be home for it." Steve said following with a sigh.
"why are you sorry? im not." steve let out a chuckle heading for the door.
lights out at eleven, you have a big day tomorrow.
"goodnight emma." "goodnight steve."

"EMMAAAA ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY TOMORROWWWW!!" holly for sure got ahold of mikes walkie talkie. "isn't it past your bed ti-"
"HOLLY! GET OFF MY WALKIE TALKIE!"
mike yelled, making me turn the volume down. "hi to you too mike!" i exclaimed, him not knowing i was listening. "oh- uh hey! ive really got to go bed, my moms gonna kill me if i don't! but i love you and cant wait to see you for your birthday, goodnight emma!!" mike quickly said.
"goodnight mike , "i love you too" i cant wait for my birthday tomorrow.
