CHAPTER 2
It had been about a week since the Starbucks run on the last day of school. Erica's mum, Mandy was yelling at her to go do something. "Stop playing video games with your seven year old brother! Go do something with your friends!" she shrieked. Erica had always loved video games, you could say she was a 'closet-gamer'. When she was seven she got hooked on Rayman.
"Fine. I'll go do something with friends." Groaned Erica as she went to go get her phone. Erica hated her phone. It was a piece of crap, well in her opinon it was. She wanted to get a new phone so bad, her dream phone was a white iphone 5. And her wish was going to come true!
"Hey mum im going to go bike over to Tori's to see if she wants to do anything today, ok?" Asked Erica.
"Go awhead but be back before five o'clock. Love see you when you get home sweety." her mum said.
"Ok, bye mum. Love you." said Erica as she grabed here bike and sped off. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and there was not cloud in the sky. As Erica pedaled down to Tori's street, she noticed all of these little things. Butterflies, bees and lots of birds. The world never seemed to Cheerful... So Erica kept riding. By the time she got to Tori's house its seemed like hours had passed, maybe the did. Erica ditch her bike on the ground and ran up to the door and knocked.
"Knock, knock, knock." She would say.
"Hey Tori." Erica said with a wink.
"Hey Erica." said Tori with a giggle.
"So lets go up to Greenaway pool. Its free." Erica said waving her hands like a crazy car salesperson. Tori asked her mum, she said yes. Tori grabed her bikini, and flip flops, not wasting a second. Hopped on her bike and they were off. In the distance you could hear Tori's sister Veronica wining about why she cant come. Sibling. The two girls raced each other to the pool. The pool was just crawling with cute guys.
"Erica close you mouth your going to catch some flies." She teased.
The two girl were having a get time at the pool. Their friend Cara had joined them a while ago. After their day at the pool, the three friends went to 7-11 and got slurpees.
"What are you getting Tori?" Asked Cara.
"I know what shes getting." Blurtted Erica.
"Then what am i getting, Erica?" Questioned Tori.
"Your going to get one layer of blue raspberry, then a layer of sprit, and finally a layer of blue reapberry, again." Erica said with a pleased smile.
"WOW." Both Cara and Tori said together.
"Well I know Ericas going to get. Your getting one layer of watermelon, one layer of blue raspberry, and a final layer of watermelon."
"Very good Tori. Lol." Said Erica with a giggle.
The three of them made their way back to Tori's house.
"I know, lets go tanning!" Suggested Tori.
"But were, theres not enough room in Tori's backyard." Said Cara.
"I know lets grab so dry towels, and beach chairs." Suggested Erica.
"Then lets go!" Shouted Tori.
So Tori grabed the chairs, Erica grabed the towels, and Cara grabed the sunscreen and magazines.
"Its sooooo hot out!" Compained Tori.
"But its sooooo awesome." Added Erica. The three girls were having so much fun that they lost track of time.
"Oh My GOD! Its 5:13! My mum said i have to be home at five o'clock, on the dot! I'm sorry guy i have to go right now! Bye!" Erica said as she hopped on her bike.
"Crap!" She mumbled. "My parent are going to kill me." Erica pedaled home as fast as she could. As she unlocked her door, her brother, Ian, all of a sudden jumped up behind the glass.
"Ahh!! What the hell is wrong with you!" She screamed while giving him a hug. She creaped up to the kitchen.
"H-hi Mum?" Erica hesitently said.
"Oh Erica. How was your day?" Asked Erica's mum Mandy.
"G-good, arn't you mad at me?" Erica asked.
"Mad at what?" Her mum asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Oh nothing." She said as she ran to her room. She was off scott free, she jumped on her bed with glee.
"Hey." She texted Tori
"Hey whats up??" Tori replide.
"Im not in trouble."
"Really?"
"Yeah, well I have to go my mum is calling me for dinner. Bye." Erica texted.
