Teenage Memories

Chapter 9: Call it #Cake

Tap, tap-tap, tap

What the hell? That is all I could think of as I was in the process of opening my eyes. When my eyes were completely working I saw Mikey with his feet up on my desk, tapping with two pencils. I swear that every time I wake up he is in my room trying to bother me. I guess it's a twin thing.

"Heyyy you're up!"

"Umm yeah as of 2 minutes ago."

"Ohhhh." He continues to tap on my desk, his feet still up in the air.

"So A) why are you in here. B) why are your feet on my desk? C) I didn't know you drummed"

"Well I don't drum...I tap. I was tired and didn't want to lay on your floor. By the way you need to clean in here, it's a mess." He said with a disgusted face and a bitter chuckle.

"Ok well get your feet down, now. Stop tapping before I beak your fingers. And you never answered why  you are in here."

"Ohh yeah I wanted you to make me breakfast!"

"WHAT?! Make it yourself, I'm your sister not your maid."

"Yeahhh when I tried to cook last time I almost burned the house to the ground. Remember?"

"Oh yeah you dipshit. I need to get you cooking lessons."

"Yeah I will never go so don't waste your time. Sooo will you make it? I'm hungry!"

"When aren't you hungry?" I said with a giggle

"Ha ha ha don't be hatin!"

"I'm not I am simply just making fun of you. But to answer your question yes I'll make you breakfast."

"Why no- wait really?"

"Don't act so surprised."

"Why are you in such a good mood?"

"Am I not aloud to be in a good mood?"

"You are, you're just not a morning person."

"Thank Luke." I said with a wink

*Last Night*

Just as I was about to close my eyes my phone went off playing 'I'm Bringing Sexy Back'. What the fuck I thought. I never EVER had this song on my phone, nor would I ever have it on my phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey  swing buddy."
"Why are you calling me it's 1 am."
"I have a question to ask you."
"And it is?"
"Do-you-wanna-go-on-a-double-date-with-me-and-Cal-tomorrow?"Luke said with out a breath.
"Umm English?"
"That was English." Luke said as the sarcasm dripped off of his words.
"You know what I meant dumbass."
"Ok, ok, ok. I said do you....want to....go on....a double date......with me and Cal?"
"Yeah sure." I wanted to scream and jump but I was to tired and had to keep my cool.
"Great. Nothing to fancy and be ready by 7:45. That's when I'll pick you up."
"Ok. I didn't know Cal had a girlfriend."
"Yeah her name is Nicole. They have been together for almost a 3 years."
"Is she...is she cool?"
"Cool? What do you mean?"
"Like nice  and not a bitch?"
"She is a bitch to people she doesn't like, but she'll love you. Don't worry she's great!"
"Ok I'm gonna go to bed. Night swing buddy!"
"Night swing buddy!"

----

I started getting ready for the double date. I decided to stick with a maroon skater skirt and a black crop top with my high top converse. I decided to just keep my make up to a minimal. I put on mascara, eyeliner, a nude lipstick, and of course cover up to hide the demons on my face. I mean who doesn't get pimples here and there? I braided my hair to the side and was ready to go. I didn't realize that by the time I was done getting ready it was 7:30 so I went downstairs.
 
I saw Mikey passed out on the couch and I couldn't leave him there untouched. I quietly ran into the kitchen to find a Sharpie and wrote 'Loser' real big on his forehead.  Even though I did that I was still unsatisfied. I looked at the clock and it read 7:32. Damn I didn't realize how fast that was, so I ran and got the whipped cream from the fridge. After squirting some into my mouth I filled Mikey's palm with it and in his hair. That was going to have to do because Luke honked signaling that it was time to go. I left Mikey a note that read 'Hey bro send me a pick when you wakeup I want to see the look on your face. I wish I could see it. Btw I'm going on a date with Luke ha ha sorry for the late notice. Love ya! -Dani'
"You look  great Dani." Luke said with his mouth wide open.

"Umm thanks. So do you." I said eyeing him up and down

"Let's get going yeah?"

"Sure."

*20 Minutes Later*

"And we are here." Luke said as we pulled into the parking lot. The car ride was filled with laughter and Luke singing whatever came on the radio. He had a great voice.

"Wow Luke this is-it's beautiful." I said as Luke opened my door.

"Not as beautiful as you." Luke said as he kissed my cheek. I turned my head away to hide the blush creeping  onto my face.

"CALUM!!!" Luke screamed as we entered the restaurant. I swear he is a little kid stuck in a teenagers body.

"LUKE!!!" Calum screamed back as he ran up and jumped Luke's arms. He is another on who is a little kid stuck in a teenagers body.

Once Luke and Calum moved out of the way I saw a girl standing alone with a look of amusement on her face. I walked up to her and said, " Hi I'm Dani. You must be Nicole."

For a second she looked at me then said, "Um you talking to me?"

"Well yeah I did walk up to you."

"Sorry why do I care who you are?"

"Um I thought Cal told you?"

"Told me wha-ohhh your Luke's girl right?"

"Umm I mean we are really good friends. I wouldn't call myself his 'girl'." I felt how red my face was. SHIT!

"Well I can tell her really likes you, but yeah I'm Nicole."

'Hi." I said with an awkward laugh.

When Nicole and I looked around our dates were nowhere to be found.

"Where the fuck are they?"

"I have no idea. I bet Cal took Luke to the bathroom. He needs a 'pee-pee buddy' or so that's what they call each other."

"Luke is just a social butterfly." I said with a laugh

"Actually I went to the car with Cal. We had to get something." Luke said wrapping his arm around me. He is being really affectionate tonight.

"Yeah and Cole I don't have or need a 'pee-pee buddy'."

"I thought I meant something to you!" Luke said with a fake sob.

"Beb it's not what it looks like!"

"Save it for someone who believes your bullshit! Nicole he's all yours!" Luke said while whipping a fake tear from his eye.

"Thank god your little fight is over I'm starving!" Nicole said holding her stomach.

"Me too!" I said walking towards Luke pretending to comfort him.

"To the table we go!" Cal said running to an empty booth with Luke close behind him.

"Oh my. Are they always like this?" I asked Nicole in shock.

"Yup. Everyone calls them #CAKE." She said with a slight laugh.

"#CAKE?"

"Mikey came up with it. It's there ship name."

"Well it looks like we have competition with our guys." I said regretting it immediately.

"He's your guy now?" Nicole said with a smirk.

"Uhh-"

"It's cool. Me and Cal started off as close friends too..now here I am fighting with a teenage boy for my boyfriends attention."

"Yeah sorry about him."

"It's cool. I've already been told that I'll go before Luke if it came down to it. He says 'bros before hoes'. But he means it in the nicest way."

"Yup that sounds like Cal." I ended with a laugh as we got to the table to find Calum and Luke with breadsticks up each nostril. Lord help me!
