~Ivanna P.O.V.~

My back was to my window as I laid on my side in bed anxiously waiting for a reply back from Jonathan. The sun was making its way into my room and that's when I sat up, realizing I hadn't slept at all as he and I had been texting this whole time... oh wow. I don't think I've stayed up to watch the sunrise but it was pretty cool to see the sun like that. Since LJ and I's rooms were right next to each other, that meant we shared a wall and I could hear some noise coming from his room. kind of like he was jumping on his bed but not wildly or too frequently. Like he would jump softly and then a few moments later he'd do it again. As tempted as I was to find out what he was doing, I didn't want to start my morning with fighting.

5:33 a.m. -Jonathan: Lets kick it today, I'll meet you where we split off

Do I really have any business with him? He can just be my friend and partner in Econ, that's it but boy was he cute... another day of hanging out wouldn't be too bad.

5:36 a.m. -Me: Alright, I can meet you there around noon?

5:36 a.m. -Jonathan: I'll see you at noon 😉

"Ooh a winky face, who's that from-"

"Oh fuck!" I yelled as I fell out of my bed just to hear the familiar laughs coming from Natalia as she crawled up onto my bed. "How the hell did you get in my-" I stopped when I saw the screen popped off my window. "-Yeah you're definitely Uncle Varo's kid." I mumbled as I got myself up, reaching down to grab the phone that fell over near the door.

"LJ is right though, climbing this house is a lot more fun. There's plenty to grab onto and it makes you work a bit to get to a window. Now answer my question, since I thought I was the only one who was allowed to send you smirks, winks and tongues with the water drops?" She questioned as she pulled her hair back behind her shoulders. I like how she had it a dark brown with some blonde streaks, not enough for it to be highlights but it suited her.

"That's just Jonathan, we're gonna hang out again." I said with a casual shrug of my shoulders that left her with an annoying smirk which looked too similar to the emoji. "Stop. Its nothing like that-"

"For now till he's rearranging your guts-"

"You would know from Rio, huh?"

"Shit, I wish I did know but that's not my case. You on the other hand- wait, what are you doing even texting him this early in the morning?"

"We had been texting all night, not even exaggerating. We were just having great conversations and it was hard to say goodnight." I explained scooting my way under my blankets to get comfortable. "So I was going to sleep till about ten thirty then get up and get ready."

"Y'all were just talking huh? Nothin' else?" I nodded my head. "Bullshit, you liar."

"More importantly, how did you even get here? Uncle Varo has that house under tight security." I asked to shift the conversation from me to her.

"Twins once said to me along the lines of 'a man may build a good mouse trap one day but on another day nature will build a smarter mouse'. I am currently the smarter mouse till Dad builds a better trap." She said as she too decided to burrow herself under the covers with me. "You got an alarm for ten thirty?"

"You know Uncle Varo shows no mercy when he catches mice so good luck but yes I do now."

"I'll bite him and give him the plague, I'm not worried. Goodnight Ivanna." She chuckled nestling into one of my pillows like as if it was her own.
