Breakfast

NOTE: I'm going to start writing this story in multiple POVs (Point of View) cuz I felt like I needed to change something. ENJOI!!!

~Aaron's POV~

Just minutes after I left the house, Garroth came out, looking tired.

"You ok, bud?" I heard Laurance say from behind me.

"Hm? Oh, yeah... just tired... I stayed up a little later than usual last night...." Garroth replied.

"Good. Now, is everyone ready to head over to the beach?" I asked.

Laurance, Garroth, Dante, Travis, and Jeffory all reply with a simple "yeah." I jump into the driver's seat of my car as the guys get in the back, all except for Jeffory, who called shotgun on the way here. I back the car out of the driveway and drive it towards the town beach.

~Giada's POV~

I heard Aaron's car back out of our driveway, and I felt so relieved. I never thought that I would be so scared to be near someone like him, let alone being picked up as a cat by him. To get my mind off of things, I brought my attention back to the pancakes. I know how Xina is when my pancakes aren't made right... I'll never forget the day she almost brought the house down in flames.

"Morning, Giada."

I jumped back a bit, just to see Xina in her pjs.

"Well, you're jumpy this morning... Care to tell why?"

"...no...."

"Aw, c'mon... tell me... I won't hurt you..."

"You want me to mess up the pancakes over a little story? Uh, no thanks."

"Fine...." Xina spoke in a whiny tone as she sat down at the kitchen table. I started pouring the batter in the pans when I heard a little creaking sound come from upstairs.

"Did you hear that, Xina?"

"Hear what?"

"The creaking sound that came from upstairs.... You didn't hear that?"

"Nope."

I must've been hearing things, 'cause then, all of a sudden, the creaking sound became the sound of footsteps. Immediately in my mind, I knew either Zane or Vylad were awake. They must've either heard the guys down here talking earlier, or they could smell the pancakes from up there. Either way, I shook my head and began to flip the first set of pancakes.

~Xina's POV~

Giada must have some sort of 'super hearing' now that she's a meifwa, 'cause I think she just heard one of the boys getting out of bed. 

"Here ya go," Giada said as she handed me a plate with 3 chocolate chip pancakes, stacked, with a bottle of syrup for me to pour over.

"Thanks..."

Giada went back to her station as she looked over towards the stairs to see Zane walkin down the stairs, wearing black sweatpants and a dark gray striped long-sleeved shirt, yawning.

"Morning, Zane," Giada spoke quietly.

"Morning..."

Giada set down another plate for Zane as he sat down at the table. I noticed that he looked more drowsy than usual.

"Zane, you ok? You looked exhausted..."

"....hm? Oh, uh... Garroth, Vylad and I stayed up later than usual, last night, watching a new movie... Nothing big, really, though..."

"Ah. I see."

"Vylad's still asleep... best to keep quiet until he's up."

"Right," Giada replies in a whisper.

After an awkward moment of silence, Giada made a plate of pancakes and drizzled some syrup on them, then headed upstairs. I don't know why she did that, but after a minute, she came back down without the plate. 

"What was that for?" I asked.

"I left a plate at Vylad's door, just in case he didn't wake up in time for breakfast."

Following Giada's response, I could hear a door open and close from upstairs.

"Looks like he's having breakfast in bed..." Zane muttered from behind his mask.

Giada giggles softly, which reminded me I had to go.

"Thanks for the breakfast, Giada, but, uh, I need to go..."

"Oh, no problem... I'll see you later, then.."

I got up from the table and rushed up the stairs to change. I needed to head over to Lucinda's house to see if she tricked me into turning Giada into a meif'wa, and to see if she had any cure for what she had- I mean, what I had done.
