Friends & Paradise

Chapter 9 - Oh The Sweet Sun (Natasha's POV)

I opened my eyes when I heard an annoying beep coming from the clock. I groaned and turned the clock to look at the time. 10:45 AM. I turned off the alarm, and tried to go for more sleep, when suddenly the door to my bedroom opened.

"Glad you're awake enough to turn off the alarm that I, so kindly, put in for you." Amber said as she walked inside my room. I covered my head with the sheets so as to not get up. I felt nice and warm, and then suddenly the sheets were completely off the bed. I sat up and looked at her half annoyed, I wasn't a morning person.

"What?" I asked annoyed.

"It's time to get up. Look at the sun, and get dressed in a cute bathing suit. We're heading to the pool." She said and walked out of my room. I fell backwards on my pillow. Then, I suddenly heard an airhorn sound. Now that made me fall out of the bed. Then, Amber appeared at my door holding her iPhone.

"You know, these iPhone things are so cool! I even got an 'instant-waking-up-device' all set up in my phone. Technology sure is awesome. Get up." She said and then walked out.

I got up from the floor and then walked over to the dresser and took out a turquoise checkered halter bikini top, and a plan turquoise bikini bottom. Then, I went to my closet and took out a t-shirt and shorts, and a pair of flip-flops and began to get changed in my bathroom. Once done, I brushed my hair, brushed my teeth, put on sunscreen, and then I was out into the living room. My friends were already dressed but half asleep.

Then, Amber clapped her hands loudly, making them wake up instantly. "People, why are you so sleepy? It's a beautiful day out there, it'd be a crime to waste this weather! We don't have this back home." She said.

"We know." Us three said at the same time.

"Are you sure you're not only excited about going out with Jeremy this afternoon?" I said, while watching Amber become red.

"Whatever. Anyway, we're going to Mosaic, so let's go." Amber said, while basically leading us out the door.

"What's in Mosaic?" Danielle asked.

"Jeremy, probably." Amelia said.

"No, it's a buffet place. Perfect for breakfast."

"Hm. Whatever you say." I said sarcastically.

We reached Mosaic a few minutes later, and the place didn't look so full. Thank God. A few families were there, and a few couples but nothing much.

"I'll save the table while you three go and look for breakfast, okay?" Amber said. And we nodded.

Amelia, Danielle and I walked over to the big square counters filled with food. We took a plate from a corner, and walked around choosing something to eat. When we were done, we picked something to drink and then walked over to the table.

"Done?" Amber asked.

"Yeah, you can go now." I said.

She nodded and then walked over to the buffet to get her breakfast. I looked down at my breakfast and began eating.

"So, what do you guys want to do today?" Amelia asked.

"Well, we should hang out by the pool and start getting a tan. And then we should-" I started.

"Go to The Dig." Danielle said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Don't you want to see how Amber and Jeremy will do today?"

"Sounds interesting...I think we should spy on them a little."

"Cool. We'll go to The Dig at two. That way, we'll be earlier and can see what they'll talk about."
