Chances

The secret weapon is pancakes

"Hey look, Tye!" Libby semi-yelled pointing a camera in her face, earning an annoyed look and chuckles from Jessica and Maricela.

"What are you doing?" Maricela asked as Libby skipped away to the balcony.

"I'm going to document our stay here for our channel on YouTube." Libby stated in a duh tone. "Well viewers, this is CoolChic_96 with some of my closet friends here in Indy...yes...yesterday we went to go see One Direction-"

Tye, Jessica, and Maricela interrupted her, "They were awesome!!!" they squealed loudly.

Libby shushed them, "Charlie is still sleeping." she stated with a slight glare as she moved the camera in her hand to show the view from their hotel room. "Sorry I didn't record a vlog of it since it was our first day here, but this second day will be just as awesome and the next five days should have some fun things going on...hopefully." she informed the camera. "Gosh, why does Charlie sleep so much?" she whined as they heard a door click closed.

Charlie's POV

I walked out slowly, I looked up while rubbing the sleep from my eyes to see that all of my friends were lined up smiling brightly at me dressed already for a fun filled day...great.

I started limping like a zombie towards them, groaning like one.

"Zombie!!!" Jessica semi-yelled hiding behind Tye.

"It's a ginger zombie so we have nothing to worry about." Libby said dismissively.

I zombie limped faster like the Walkers from Walking Dead when I sniffed loudly. I stopped two feet away from them with my arms hanging like claws in front of me. "PANCAKES!!!" I semi-yelled, immediately high-tailing it to the kitchen where there was a stack of pancakes waiting for me.

I started shoveling the syrupy goodness in my mouth, glancing up to see that my friends' eyes bugged out of their heads except Libby's, who laughed loudly. I tilted my head in confusion as I chewed on some of my pancakes.

"I did not expect that..." Jessica stated, the two others nodding in agreement.

"The secret weapon is pancakes." Libby stated with a sagely nod.

I mumbled a reply while chewing, earning laughter from my friends and a disapproving look from Libby.

"Morning, Charlie, girls, I'm heading to work and I won't get back until late so don't wait up." Tye's mother said, dressed professionally and slipped on some heels as she grabbed a quick breakfast before she leaves.

"Good morning, Mrs. Fordham!" we all greeted the only adult with us.

She smiled happily and patted my head, "Be good, girls, don't do anything I wouldn't do, don't do any illegal drugs or drinking, and don't get arrested because I will not bail you out...well maybe my ginger..." Mrs. Fordham informed us as she hugged me and went over to her daughter and hugged her.

"Thanks, mom, we won't do anything stupid, have a little faith, plus have fun at work and tell your boss thanks for giving us this awesome opportunity." Tye smiled as her mother kissed her forehead.

"I will, behave, bye!!!" Mrs. Fordham called over her shoulder as she left, closing the door behind her.

"How does my mom love you more than her own daughter?" Tye asked, I shrugged putting another piece of pancake in my mouth. "Anyway, my mom will be too busy working all week to bother us, plus her boss gave us a business credit card as part of the work contract for us to spend some of the extra company money while we're here." Tye informed us, we all cheered happily.

"Charlie, hurry up and get dress so we can go!!!" Libby whined as I shoved the last bit of pancake in my mouth and swallowed.

"Imma going, hold your pants on..." I muttered as I got up.
