~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's summer, it's hot. The aircon is blasting as I feel the extreme heat of the sun's rays burst in my window. Let me sleep for a bit longer... please. I give up, it's time to get up. I sit up, look at my wall and think of something to do today. I could play a console game, draw, binge something... urgh I've done plenty of all of them. Well, I could hang out with someone, Lucinda's gone, Aph... nah, Zane... well... he... I guess I could hang out with Zane. Wait didn't I promise him a sleepover that one time. Yeah, I did! ...But that was before I liked him that might be weird... Oh well. Lucinda told me to act like myself and acting on my promises is much like myself. I get out of bed and go downstair to makes some breakfast. I see Mum.

"Oh, hey Mum? Would it be ok if I had Zane over for a sleepover?" I ask. As I grab out some bread to shove in the toaster.

"A-a boy? For a sleepover?!" She asks very concerned.

"NONONONO!!!! Nothing like that, I just told him that I want him to experience the fun of girls' sleepover so I offered him one and I thought now would be the perfect time to do so since it's the summer holidays!" I propose.

"You don't think before you speak, do you darling?" Mum exhales.

"N-no I really don't..." We sit there in awkward silence, as I wallow in my self-pity, until my toast pings.

"Urgh, it should be fine! Just no funny business! I'll find the blow-up bed!" She agrees.

"YAY! Thanks mum! I'll ask him if he's free." I quickly put some jam on my toast then grab out my phone to text him.

Zane :3

Y – Hey, Zane! You know how I offered you to experience the fun of girls' sleepovers at my house that time before I went to Aph's, well... Do you want to come over and have one tonight?

Z – Uh, sure. I'll check with my Mum.

Y – Tell her you're sleeping on a blow-up bed! My Mum's on the hunt for it at the moment.

Z – She said it was fine. What time should I come over?

Y – How about 4?

Z – Sounds great! I'll be over then. See you soon!

Ok, It's 9:30 now I have plenty of time to prepare! I run up to my room, get changed. Give it a quick tidy. It's magnificent! Now time to sort out snacks!

"Mum? Do you need to go to the supermarket today?" I imply.

"I will now." She responds.

"When are we going?"

"Once I find this blow-up bed... It's around here somewhere. I know it... AH HA! Found it!" She exclaims. She soon comes around the corner into my room and places the rolled-up bed on the ground.

"We'll inflate it later! Let's go!" Mum says. We rush off to woollies to get snacks and stuff for dinner. We're going to have Tacos. When we return it's lunch. We have toasties before preparing the finishing touches. We blow up the bed and put sheets on it. I prepare all the snacks ready to be opened and were ready! All we have to do is wait.

~~~Time Skip~~~

I'm idling in my room when I hear the doorbell ring. I check the time. It's 4! I run down the stairs, open the door and see him.

"Zane!" I exclaim.

"H-Hey, (Y/N)!" Zane chimes.

"Come on in!" I invite him in.
