SHOUT OUT TO @jesseQ HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLIE, LUV YA! <3
"I can't believe they let us go at 12 for a snow day. Well, half a snowday since we had to come to school for the first half of the day" Gabi squeals excitedly. I look up and strech my arm out in front of me. I can barely see my finger tips in all this snow.
"I'm surprised they didn't send us home earlier." I admit "Wanna come over to my house? You can spend the night since tomorrow we'll have another snowday."
"How do you know it will be a snow day tomorow?" she questions with a raise of her eyebrow
"Look." I say gesturing to the snow around us "It's freezing cold and snowing a lot. I feel like I'm getting frostbite on my nose. I'm pretty sure that if the weather is this bad, we won't have school tomorrow."
"If you had frostbite we'd be able to see it, stupid." Gabi says in a 'duh' tone
"Whatever." I roll my eyes "Text your mom that you are coming with me and then let's get out of here."
"Has anyone told you you suck at driving?" Gabi gasps for air clutching her chest after I make a sharp turn.
"No but Derek tells me I'm horrendous at singing." I point out
"Nah, come on you can't be that bad." Suddenly 'Dark horse' by Katy Perry comes on the radio. Gabi squeals like a 12 year old whose just had her first kiss.
"This is mah jam!" she says in one of her many acting voices. We bob our heads up and down and only sing along to the catchy chorus
"So you wanna play with magic" Gabi sings angelically. Jeez, musical theatre really has paid off. Her voice sounds more heavenly than the sound of an ice-cream truck coming down the street with it's music blaring out from small speakers. "Boy, you should know what you're falling for, Baby do you dare to do this?"
"CAUSE IM COMING AT YOU LIKE A DARK HORSE!" I scream out interupting her perfect singing and replacing it with my scartchy, of-tune voice. "ARE YOU READY FOR, READY FOR!" Gabi cracks up laughing
"I'll have to agree with Derek on this one."
"I am offended!" I say feigning pain peeling my fingers off the cold steering wheel to freak Gabi out.
"HANDS ON THE WHEEL DUMBASS!" Gabi screams with a look of horror on her face. I just laugh
"Oh, Gabi." I mutter shaking my head "We're here." I say before parking in my snow covered drive way.
We walk inside the house and watch a 'How I met Your Mother' marathon before finally deciding we're bored.
"Do you think the pizzeria is open" Gabi asks with a glint of hope in her eyes
"It better be." I mumble
"Let me call. I have Domino's on speed dial." she announces proudly. While she calls Domino's pizza, I look out the window watching the snow pile up. I think about how the foot prints in the snow are like memories, that eventually fade because of the snow piling on top of them. I seriously don't know why I'm suddenly feeling so deep today
"Bad news." Gabi scowls looking at her phone in disgust, snapping me out of my deep moment "They say they can't deliver but we can go to the physical actual building to get some pizza. It's 2014 for Christ's sake, no one does that anymore!"
"Do you want to live on Ben and Jerry's for the night then?" I suggest
"You know what? I'm actually fine with that" she smiles as we raid the refridgerator
We had only finished 2 and a half pints of our ice-cream before the doorbell rang, interupting us from our midnight feast. I groan as I lift my lazy ass off the comfy couch and walk to the door with the ice-cream carton still gripped in my hand. I fling the door open in annoyance only to find two tall guys shivering, with white snow dusted onto their dark hair.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I spit out in utter surprise. I realize how terrible I look, messed up hair, smeared mascara, onsie pajamas and eating ice-cream like a pig
"Sky?" Derek says equally as shocked as I am "I thought you lived in the city!"
"Every other week I go to live with my dad in the city. My parents are divorced. I told you already, dumbass." I say annoyed. Hey don't judge me. I can be a nice person (sometimes). I swear I really can be kind to people. Just seeing your midnight kiss and his best friend standing outside your door in the coldness of winter at midnight while you're in a onsie and looking like a pig crapped on you, does not brighten my mood. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"Some part of the car is frozen." Blake mutters, eyes glued to the floor. Ha, so he's embarassed. Serves him right for tongue-raping me. What? the name grew on me.
"So what are you doing here then?" I say obviously not comprhending
"Look," Derek says sternly "we are hungry, cold and Blake's car just broke down. We just did the most human thing anyone else would've done and rung the doorbell of the nearest house to ask for help of for a place to stay the night."
"Stay the night?" I ask my eyes widening "No way. Sorry nope bye." I begin to shut the door but Gabi's voice interupts me.
"Who's at the door?" she asks walking up closer towards the door causing me to groan. "I know you." she points at Derek
"Yeah. Hi." he says pursing his lips
"And who are you?" she questions narrowing her eys at Blake
"Blake." he says nervously as if he were some type of criminal and he was being questioned
"You're Sky's midnight kiss!" she exclaims
"Yeah that's me." he gnaws on his bottom lip nervously
"You're also the one that slept with Angie Winters." she sneers catching me completely off guard. Sometimes having a best friend who has no shame in anything has cons... "And then had the nerve to tongue rape Sky!"
"Tongue rape?" Blake and Derek ask at the same time
"Shoved your tongue down her throat against her will. Whatever you guys want to call it" she rolls her eyes "But what the hell are you doing here in the middle of a blizzard?"
"Our car broke down and we need a place to stay for the night." Derek explains with a hopeful expression
"Sorry my mom doesn't let me have people sleep over." I lie
"Uh, Sky?" Gabi taps my shoulder
"What."
"I'm sleeping over though."
"Dammit Gabi." I hiss "Help me out here."
"My pleasure." she smirks before turning back to the two frozen boys "Come on in guys. The guest room is next to the stairs and to the right. Sky's mom isn't home."
"WHAT?!" I gawk at her as Derek and Blake run inside thanking Gabi
"Trust me with this one." she smiles widely "Now, lets get you out of that onsie and make you look fabulous."
