Timeless (A Prestonplayz Fanfic)

Chapter 5

(Tuesday)

Clara POV

I woke up to a buzz and a Ping as my phone went off. It was Patrick. He said he wanted to hang out. Just to be as flirty as possible, I told him that I was busy with Laura's birthday. Replying back with a smiley face and a "Tell her I say happy birthday," I knew he wasn't TOO upset.

After getting dressed in my second cutest outfit (a white tank top with a black leather jacket and navy legging), I run down the hall to Laura's room. Unlike me, she has everything unpacked and organized, and it was even decorated with new curtains and matching sheets. She was sleeping so peacefully, I didn't want to wake her. But it was her first birthday away from her abusive family, and it was my goal to make it the best day possible.

" WAAAAAAKE UP!" I used my more quiet voice.

"Huh? Why are you shouting.... It's so early too..."

"Get up, smarty pants. We are going the celebrate the greatest day of your life. Now hurry up and get dressed."

Laura smiled and got out from under the covers. Feeling hungry, I head out to the kitchen to get some waffles and let her change. There was a muffled snoring sound; I assumed it was Preston because he is just annoying in general. Laura seems to like him (maybe more than a friend), but he is really just a bother. Soon, Laura is dressed and we head out shopping (what you should always do on your friend's birthday.) While in the store, Laura's clumsy nature and she tripped in front of everyone, but we were laughing too hard to care.

Laura's POV

We went home after we decided that $500 was enough money to spend on clothes and random shit we didn't need. After grabbing a quick triple berry smoothie, we went back to our apartment and head to the kitchen. There was a pink balloon on the table with a card and a matching cupcake. It was from Preston. Clara grabbed the cupcake, and this time, I let her take it. I quickly grabbed the note and my inner self screamed with joy:

Happy Birthday Laura!

I saw this cupcake and thought of you (not cause I want to eat you or anything, you are just really sweet.) Hope you are feeling better and have an amazing adulthood! Prepare for taxes! ;)

815-504-1994

Wait a minute, did he just give me his number. He was so awkward about the cupcake thing that I didn't notice. Oh my gosh. I have his number. What should i do with it?

"LAURA WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?"

I spun quick and hid the note. Clara was horrified and started yelling.

"DID THAT SAY WHAT I THINK IT SAID?! THAT'S SO SEXUAL WHAT THE F-"

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!" Preston was screaming through the door that connected us. Immediately, I started giggling. What a dork.

"Can I come join you?"

I opened the door for him. He was in shorts and a black shirt. THe shirt had a weird block thing on it that I couldn't recognize. Deciding that the situation was already awkward enough, I gave him a quick card and thanked him for the cupcake.

"You ate it already?"

"I guess you could say that."

Clara started to snicker, but Preston ignored him. His hair wasn't combed so it was like all over the place. I want to run my hands through, ruffle it and then fix it. Why would you want to do that? That's kinda weird. I guess I liked him, and I started thinking weird thoughts. Pushing those out of my mind, I started listening him again.

"I assume you went and got all that boring adult stuff done, so why don't we all go to something fun?"

Clara looked at him, "What do you mean by fun? What are we doing exactly?"

Preston gave a small smile, "I don't know, maybe go go-karting or something."

"I love go-karting, let's go!" I beamed.

***

"I totally beat you."

"No," Preston smirked, "I was five feet ahead of you."

Clara laughed, "Don't be a sore loser Preston, Laura totally won. At least you didn't get last."

I smiled. We all seemed so happy.

Preston POV

I was really tempted to kiss her just then. Everything seemed perfect. Yet I didn't.
