Flight Of Fancy

18. Morning

"Wakey wakey Ell.....morning is here"
How is she in such a good mood?? For all I know she had never been the happy type so early in the morning. I grab my pillow and put it over my ears to continue sleeping.
"I m not going to take your tantrums. Ms. Elizabeth Karen Stinson. "
Oh my god ....she just said my full name amd that too including my middle name. She really wants me to wake up. I don't want to. After I came back from the park, it only took me minutes to go in a state of dreamless sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night by a sound coming through my window. There was some drunk guy shouting and crying for his loving girlfriend to come back. Why the hell do people announce their problems to the entire world?? Don't they know that there is a category of people who would prefer sleeping over listening to some random​ guy rant about the love of their life. It took an hour for the alcohol to take complete control over him and make him collapse by the nearby dumpster.
I am still on my bed.
"Don't you forget that this is Rachel Smith you are dealing with here. Even if I seem like a girly girl on the outside, it won't take me more than a minute to tackle you down on the floor"
She was damn serious right now. I didn't get even a glimpse of what could be called as joking.
"Okay okay ....I m up"
I say moving out of my comforter while giving her a death glare. She desreved it. I mean who tortures their best friend so early in the morning.
"You are the worst best friend anyone could ask for"
I mutter under my breath but apparently she heard.
"I know I m the bestest best friend you could ask for"
"Bestest is not even a word you idiot"
"It is in my dictionary"
"Then you own the wrong one"
Without waiting for her reply I grab my clothes and enter the bathroom to take a shower.
Water dripping down my skin is one of the best feelings I have ever had. A good hot bath has the ability to take away all my tensions and worries away. It relaxes me like nothing else can.
"You better get ready fast Ell or we are going to be late"
"We won't be late Rach....its been only five minutes since I came in"
I highly doubt the sentence I just said. I don't think​ its been​ five minutes. It could be over an hour and I wouldn't know. I never understand how the time passes so fast when I m taking a shower.
"No babe... its been more than 30 minutes"
Crap.....I need to get out fast.
I open the door and sitting in front of me is none other than my best friend with my mom and nemo. When did he come here?
"Tweety ....you look good"
I totally forgot that I was only in a towel. All of them have seen me like this so it doesn't really matter. It is kind of wierd as it's been a lot of time since I was this way in front of nemo.
I enter the bathroom again...this time with the clothes I need to wear.
"You looked better before tweety"
"Yeah did I now Nemo?"
I said looking at him with the most serious expression I could manage in front of his pouting face.
"You know I was joking right?"
I guess my trick worked only to fail now cause now I m just laughing. He fell so easily for my serious face. As if I could ever get angry for such a small thing.
"You scare easy"
"No I don't"
"Yes you do"
Before Alex could say another word, Rach came and put her hands on both of our faces making us shut up.
"You two can fight over anything and everything. Now if you please.... Can we go to the place we ought to be at by now?"
I lick her hand and I suppose Nemo did the same as she removed her hands from both of our mouths simultaneously.
"Eww.. You both suck"
And she leaves the room probably irritated by both of us. We can not help laughing. All of it was more than enough to make me roll on the floor laughing. Alex has a hand on his stomach and I see a tiny tear escape his eyes. I have not had such a nice morning in a long time.
"Do you think we should go and say sorry?"
Alex doubles over in laughter after listening to what I had to say and I follow his lead. We stumble down the stairs to find Rach still annoyed by our hand licking.
"LET'S go"
"Yeah"
She gets up without uttering a single word and enters Alex's truck with a look that said if you ever do something like this again you are dead. Both me and Alex knew the meaning of this and while controlling our chuckles we enter the truck.
All of us silent.
No one daring to speak a single word. It is like we signed an invisible pact declaring that if any one of us spoke during the ride, the world would explode. Yeah it is that silent.
The silence is not awkward or defeaning. Its comfortable. Nemo raises his hand to reach the music player when Rach slaps his hand away and all if us start laughing. There was nothing funny about it but I think when you are with your best friends everything seems a little brighter and anything can make you smile. I will miss them when this year ends and we head to our different colleges.
