Until We Meet Again

Chapter 7

I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on my room door. "Rosaline wake uuuuppp!!! We have plans today!!" I heard Shays' voice said. Ughhh it's a Saturday, and I don't recall any plans for today.

I sat on my bed. I yawned and stretched. I walked to the bathroom to do my business, and wash my face. Then I went to open my room door. Shay is standing there waiting and looking at me. "What?" I asked. "We need to go." she said. "Where are we going? I don't remember any plans for today." I told her. She scoffed, "Umm...have you seen your phone?"

I showed her a confused face. I went back inside my room and grabbed my phone on my bedside table. There is a message from Claire.

To: Rosaline

From: Claire

Hey, you awake yet? Shay and I are planning to go out today. Care to join?

I looked at what time she sent the message. 6:00 am. Wow, she wakes up early on weekends. I texted her back.

To: Claire

From: Rosaline

Sure. Just woke up. Where we going?

I put my phone back down and went back outside. Shaylene is still there. "So...umm where are we going?" I asked her. "Oh Claire didn't tell you? We are going to the beach." she said.

Hmm...kind of rare for us to go to the beach. We usually just go to malls to shop or watch movies. I have a feeling she is up to something. But oh well.

"Oh ok." I said in a sleepy voice. She looked at me like I am an idiot. "Wake up Rosaline. You haven't even prepared your things." she said. Ughh..I'm kind of lazy to pack. "Okay okay geez."

I walked back inside and closed the door. I went to the bathroom, took a shower and brushed my teeth. Then, I walked back outside to get my clothes. I chose to wear my floral shorts, and my turquoise colored shirt. I looked in the mirror. My hair is a mess. I'm pretty sure I have time to straighten it before we go. I thought about it, and I realized that I'm going to get my hair wet anyways.

I went back outside. Everyone seems to be eating breakfast. "Oh good morning Rosaline. You're finally awake." My dad said while reading a newspaper. "Yeah FINALLY." Shay said. I pretended to not hear her. "What are you cooking mom?" I asked my mother. "You'll see." The room smelled like pancakes, so yeah, I'm guessing she's making pancakes. She then gave me a plate full of blue pancakes. Wow. This is new.

She must have realized my look. "Just feeling to try something new today." she said. I ate a bit of the pancakes. Wow. The taste is so amazing. I think this is my new favorite breakfast. I finished my food and drank some water.

I just remembered that I need to pack. I went back to my room. I grabbed my bag that I usually carry for events like these.

I put all the things I need inside the bag such as a sunblock, sunglasses, and other things. Now, a swimsuit. Which one should I wear. I chose my black one-piece swimsuit. I held it in my hands. Then I heard someone come in the room. "Seriously...that? Sis, you are older than me, but I feel like I'm more mature." Shay said. "Well...what do you think I should wear?" I asked. She went to my closet and took out a swimsuit I never knew I had. It is this triangular bikini with pastel pink and blue colors, and a black outline. It looks cute. But I am insecure about my body, so I stuck with the black one.

Shay understood my actions and she just let it go. She then took her swimsuit out and showed me. It's a bikini, but the bottom part looked like short pants. "Do you think I'll look nice in this?" she asked while putting it in front of her body. "Of course it looks good on you. You have like the perfect body." I said. She looked at me. "You know..we have the same body shape right? Means you will look good on that other swimsuit." she said.
