The door slammed as I walked into the front entryway of my house. I flinched slightly when the bang sounded throughout the entire house. "Shit." I'm mumbled with clenched eyes.
"Jo!" I hear from the kitchen. "What was that? C'mon why must you always slam the door? It's not that hard to remember to softly push it." I smile knowing my dad was home still. My feet carry me through the corridors and into the kitchen where my dad is preparing 'dinner' which consisted of microwave popcorn. He spins around facing me when I softly clear my throat.
"Why aren't you healthy." I say with sarcasm laced in my words. He rolled his eyes and turned to retrieve the steaming bag.
"Well if you truly wish to know I am healthy. Thank you very much."
"Whatever you say pops." He grabs a plastic bowl from on of the drawers and open the bag. Dumping the contents out of the bag. I ran over and grab a massive handful and shove it into my mouth before he can react.
"Okay, was that necessary?" He sighs and continues. "I'm pretty sure you can make your own bag. Cause lord knows I didn't make that for you." I smile innocently and grab another handful before sprinting to my room. After running that much I decided to reward myself with the handful of popcorn and Netflix. I sat on the end of my queen sized bed with my laptop sitting on my lap. I made sure to plug it into the charger before starting an episode of criminal minds. After about 3 episodes I decided to finish the homework I'd started earlier. About an hour and a half passed and I was finally done. I grabbed my phone, put on music, and started to clean my room. During my jam session to all time low I received a text from Luke.
Lukey 🐧: Im bored! Can I come over?
Me: sure. Do you know where I live?
Lukey 🐧: Um...no. But I'm sure you'll tell me. 😁 Wouldn't leave a bro hanging would ya?
I smile and send him my address and tell him to just walk in.
Lukey 🐧: be there in a few.
I throw my phone onto my bed and change into different pants and walk downstairs, combing through my brown hair with my fingers. I sit on the couch next to my dad, who was too busy watching his tv show and eating his food to even notice.
"Can I have a friend over from school?" I ask loud enough to grab his attention.
"Yeah, sure." He says taking a sip of his drink. " I don't care as long as you've done your homework." I smile and kiss him on the cheek.
"Already finished." In return he smiles at me before he shoos my away and continued to watch. The doorbell rings and I run to get it. I fling open the door to be met by a tall, skinny, blond boy. "What's up breadstick?"
"Umm...nothing much...I guess." He asks, uncertainty clear in his voice. I invite him in and yell to my dad.
"We'll be upstairs in my room!"
"Okay have fun!" He pauses before adding. "Door open I don't want to be a grandfather anytime soon!"
"Don't worry I'll play my music loud enough you won't know we're having sex!" I hear a sigh from the living room and drag Luke upstairs.
"I hope you don't think I came over for sex. Because I am Not prepared." I let out a small laugh before verifying what I meant.
"I always say that no matter who I hang out with. Don't worry." I look to like meeting his worried gaze. He rolled his eyes and sat on my bed. "Soooo mister breadstick whatcha wanna do? Because I have nothing we can do here." He shrugs his shoulders and looks around deep in thought. Suddenly his broad shoulders shoot up along with his head like he's got an idea.
"Let's go on an adventure!" He says quickly and very loud. "We should go to the beach! You haven't been here very long so I bet you haven't been. It'll be fun and we can go swimming. Maybe I can teach you how to surf and then we can make sand castles and get ice cream, and"
"Slow down there breadstick." I say while giggling at his childish reaction. "I'll go, god you're hyper." He jumps with joy and says to grab a swimming bag with everything I'll need. I giggle again as he leaps around the room asking me to hurry up. I run to my closet and find a black and blue striped bikini, it was high waisted and as one of my favourites. I grabbed a bag and stuffed sunglasses, sun screen, a towel, and basically everything else I might need.
I also snaked into shorts and put on sandals. When I finished l Luke was still jumping around and almost screamed when I walked out of my bathroom. We raced downstairs to his car. Before we left the house I yelled to my dad informing him I was headed to the beach.
Lukes car was hotter than expected it to be. Seeing as it was red and not black. The interior burned as I sat down, I screamed a little as a reaction. Which sent Luke into a fit of giggles. "Yeah, yeah, laugh it up chuckles." I said pissed of slightly, but soon was able to get over due to American idiot playing over the car speakers when Luke decided to start his car. Immediately I started screaming the lyrics at the top of my lungs.
"How can you like this song so much?" Luke asked turning down the volume to ten. I looked at him with utmost confusion. "I mean it's a great song and all, but I thought you'd take offence to it. At least if I was American I'd be pretty pissed."
I let out a small giggle which soon turned into a full on psychotic laughing fit. When I finished laughing my stomach felt as though it was on fire and I wiped the tears from my eyes. "You see little one, all Americans are stupid, and realise we're stupid. So this song does not make us feel bad, it makes us laugh, because no one realises that Americans, hate Americans more than everyone else." The sudden realisation is evident on his face as we continue to drive.
"Wait here while I go grab my stuff," Luke says when we reach his house. He runs in and about three minutes later comes back out with a bag and his swim trunks on. He sprints from the door into my car. He jumps due to the heated leather interior. I let out a snort and roll my eyes while Luke sits and winces. Finally we are able to leave to the beach.
