Unlocking the curse

The First Day

Hey everyone.
Another chapter.. Hope you like it.

Evelyn's POV

The ride back home was quite, just Harry asking some questions here and there. Alex was zoned out. She was looking at her phone from time to time. I didn't bother asking her. If it is important, she would tell me herself.

We reached home and went back straight to bed. No one asked any questions to us, I guess because of the note. But they were perplexed as to why Harry joined us. He replied with "They needed a ride and I was awake."

The rest of the day went slow and sleepy. We did nothing productive other than arranging things for the next day college. We even got calls from our parents. They wanted to make sure that we won't miss tomorrow. We went to bed early that day.

In the morning Kate woke me up. She was nearly ready. Damn. I shot up. "What's the time?"  I asked her.

"Chill, its just 7. I just got ready early. The washroom is all yours. I am off to breakfast. Come soon." Kate said and left.

We made a pact. Kate, Alex, Max and Luke will be preparing breakfast while Sophie, Jude, Harry and I are on dinner duty. I know its lame but lets see if you can come up with a better plan that includes all  8 people.                                                                        

So basically you see, its a curse on these four to wake up early.

I took my time to get ready and sat down for breakfast. Luke kissed me and placed two plates and sat beside me. Harry sat across from me. But he was still in his sweats.I gave him a questioning look.

"I guess, I am going to skip today. I am sick. All I want to do is have a cuddle party with my blanket and bed." He said in a hoarse tone.

He took a seat across from me. "Do you need to visit the doctor?" I asked him.

"No. I have the medicines. It happens sometimes when I have restaurant food. Remember the breakfast?" Harry said. I nodded.

"I thought you went to Alex's relatives' house." Jude said sitting beside Harry.

Shit. Harry had the same expression. Then, "Yes, but Harry here was still hungry so we stopped at a diner near by." Alex replied placing the plates. She took a seat next to Jude.

"I made the eggs, hope you like it." Luke said to me with a smile.

"I know it would be amazing." I said and kissed his cheek. Luke chuckled.

"I poured the orange juice from the carton to the jug." Max said taking a free seat next to me. I took a sip and I exactly knew what he would do next.

"How is it?" Max asked with a cunning smile.

"Its just like everyday. Nothing special." I replied.

"Aw man, I was trying to sneak away a kiss." He pouted.

"Better luck next time, Hemmington." Luke said and smacked his head. Yes, His hand was long enough to reach his head two seats over.

"I assume, Kate made the toasts." Jude said.

Kate nodded, excited. "Kate, next time maybe you should pour orange juice instead of trying to cook." Jude joked.

"Hey, its not that bad. Its just a lighter shade of coal." Harry commented, and we all snickered.

"I hate you all." She mumbled.

We finished our breakfast and left soon after that, leaving Harry alone. There were leftovers if Harry, by chance gets out of his bed.
