Friends?

Cook-out

 “Make two lines to receive your food, NOW,” our director yelled at us. I ran as fast as my short legs could go to trying not to end up at the end of the line. The end of the line after 70 starving high school guys is never a good idea. I squeezed in between Logan and my good friend Peter, we have a weird relationship. Peter and I like to tease each other about everything, which includes my shortness and his weirdness. Peter was 5’7” cute with muscles, curly brown hair, and brown eyes. He was tan, but so is everyone is band thanks to summer band. While Logan was just your typical American boy with blonde hair, blue eyes, and muscles, which I get to get a good look at here at the pool. Typical guy that all the girls crush on.

 “Hey midget, go to the back of the line” Peter said pushing me forward. I turned around to face him and just stood my ground and shook my head at him.

“I’m not a midget I’m just slightly shorter than average height. Like you should be talking you freak,” I said with a smirk.

“You shouldn’t have said that,” he said as he grabbed me and threw me over him shoulder. I hate being picked up and everyone knows that, including him. I was screaming my head of trying not to think of falling. Oops, I’m going to fall and die!

“Put me down!”  I yelled. I looked around and saw nobody even looking at us. I caught the glance of the band director and he just laughed at us and left me here alone to suffer. So much for being able to count on adults. Suddenly I was back on my feet and fell to the floor from the head rush.

“I need to get better friends,” I said while clutching my head.

“But you love me Paige,” he said holding out his hand to help me up. I shook my head at him, which made my headache worse.

“Blah, blah, blah,” I said rolling my eyes. I glanced in front of me, dang Logan is close to getting his food and I am hungry. I didn’t eat at the aquarium and I’m due for food.

“Umm, Logan do you think I can go in front of you, cause I’m about to die without my food,” I said while giving him my best puppy dog look I could muster up. While he was deciding, I just went in front of him and got a hamburger. Yes, yumminess, it’s time to go to my tummy.

“Thanks much,” I said running off with my food. Now where to sit? I sat down next to the pool on a lounge chair and just waited for everyone to come to me. Then I saw them walking my way.

Sam aka Sammy is tall, well everyone is tall in my eyes, he’s 6’1”, and has that shaggy black hair that would sometimes cover his eyes. His eyes were amazing they were a mixture of blue and green, would be a different shade depending on his mood, while his smile was just breathtaking, and made his eyes twinkle.

Nathaly aka Nat was short too, but not as short as me, she was 5’1” had short brown hair and hazel eyes. While she was short, she was always full of energy and spunky. Do people even say spunky anymore? Well I do and we are both spunky. She was more of a tomboy always wearing shorts and t-shirts.

Moreover, I am short, 4’11” to be exact, with shoulder length dark brown wavy hair and dark brown eyes. I was quite average for a 17-year-old, nothing too spectacular about me except for my personality. We all sat down and started to eat our delicious food, until we saw Sky walking our way.

Sky being the one all the guys sought after was tall 5’6” and really curvy and skinny. She has dyed red hair that matches her sparky personality. Yep she has a sparky personality, I'm not going to be mean and say she’s…. yea so she’s sparky. She has brown eyes that are always circled with black eyeliner no matter what. She’s made my friends cry because of stupid stuff that makes no sense, and her posse was always with her, her posse consist of 12 guys always talking to her and flirting with her. It drives us all mad and whenever they get around her, we all disappear.

“Hey guys,” speaking of the sparky person, Sky came strolling over to where we were. Moments later, all of her posse came strolling behind her.

“Ummm look at that I forgot to put ketchup on my burger, Nat wanna come help me look for the ketchup,” I said quickly getting up with Nathaly.

“Ummm I know where it is, here I’ll help you guys,” Sammy said getting up and going after us. I know it’s not nice of us but her posse can be the most disturbing guys I’ve ever met. ‘Hey you’re so hot, what size bra do you wear’ and ‘Are you still a virgin?’ and blah blah blah it makes me sick. We went to the other side where we sat down at some other lounge chairs with my Robbie and Logan.

Robbie was taller than I was 5’6” and was the sporty one of us. He had brown hair and brown eyes just like me but his were lighter and sparkled when the light hit them. While mine looked like two black holes but their brown, I think.

“Hey guys can we sit with you?” I asked looking at my dear twin and his friend who still had the turtle on his wrist.

“Sure” he said while looking at us.

“Awww, how come I’m the only one without a cool stuffed animal hugging my wrist like a bracelet?” he asked. I gave Nat hers when we got off the bus and got ready in our condo to go swimming. She got the goldfish, now all that was left was the shark, and somehow I doubt that Sky would want that.

“Here you can have my last one it’s a shark, I got it for Sky but I doubt she’d want it now,” I said taking it out of my bag and putting it on his wrist. Now we all had one.

“Yes, don’t I look pimpin,” he said

“Ummm, do you really want me to answer that,” I said while trying hard not to laugh. I looked over at Nat and she was doin the same.

“Don’t be jealous that you can’t be pimpin like me,” he said wiggling his eyebrows. Nat and me exploded into laughter and went crazy. We both stopped laughing for a minute only to erupt in a fit of laughter again.

“Dude, don’t ever say that again,” Logan said chuckling. We ate our food talking about unicorns and what not. Until it was nighttime again and Sam and I were left alone to look up at the stars and listen to his music again.
