Filling in the Pieces // Luke Brooks

Chapter 13 - Chocolate Chip Pancakes

        It has been about a week now with the puppies and they have already grown so much. Luke and I have also been working with Jewels again on our routine. I have noticed that over the weeks that we have had her, she had been getting bigger and bigger. I guess it's because of the food we have her on, she must not be used to eating all the treats and oats when usually she only eats grass. She will eventually get use to it. The Freestyle competition is also coming up in about a week and a half and to be honest, I'm terrified. 

        Today is our day off from working so Luke and I decided to go out for breakfast with Theresa and Skip. Jai made it clear to us last night that he wanted to sleep in today so we didn't even bother asking him to come. All four of us decided to go to Cora's over text and just meet there for 10:00 am. It was 9:30 and I had already showered and just decided to let my hair air dry considering it only took about 20 minutes. I threw on some dark washed jean shorts, a floral see through shirt, and some pink vans. I only put on mascara today, finding no need to have to impress anyone. In no time we had to leave and I jumped in Luke's red truck where he was already waiting. 

        "Jeez girls take so long to get ready. I just get up and already look fab," Luke said while backing out the very long driveway as he pretending to flip his hair.

        "That's what you think," I mumbled with a smirk playing across my face.

        "Hey, I heard that," he said in disbelief and pushed my shoulder a bit.

        In just under five minutes we arrived at Cora's and I could already see Theresa and Skip in a booth by the window making faces at us.

        "Oh God, this is going to be an interesting breakfast," I groaned as I hopped out of the car and walked into the diner with Luke.

        When these two are together they are absolutely crazy. I don't know how they haven't started dating yet because I have honestly never seen two people more perfect for each other than them. I asked Jai about it once and he said that Skip always gets to nervous to ask her out. Good thing he has me as a friend to help him out. My next mission will be to set these two up. I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts that I didn't even realize that we were already at their table. 

        "Hey guys," Luke and I spoke in unison.

        "Hey!" Skip responded, with Theresa saying the same shortly after.

        We sat down with Theresa already sitting across from Skip, so I sat across from Luke. The waiter then came over to take our orders. Theresa and I both got the chocolate chip pancakes, which was something that we have always had since we were kids. Skip and Luke on the other hand got regular pancakes, but with a shit load of fruit on them. While waiting for our food and drinking our milkshakes that we had ordered earlier, we were talking about the most random things. The entire time Luke and I were playing footsies, but I was trying my best not to make it obvious. After our pancakes arrived we all decided that when we were done we will all go shopping at a mall that is a little ways out of town, but I was in desperate need of clothes. 

        After a while of just goofing around and almost getting kicked out, like usual, the boys finally paid the bill after about 10 minutes of us arguing over who would do it. We rushed to Skip's house to drop off his car, and then him and Theresa squeezed themselves in the back of Luke's truck. We blasted some Ed Sheeran throughout the car and we all sang along to the song 'Sing.' After Luke almost drove off the road we decided to clam down a bit. The people behind us must of been complaining about how us teenagers are complete idiots, and I don't blame them.
