I felt the heat of the bright sun rays coming from my open window annoying my skin, waking me up from my beauty sleep. I peeked through one eye as I sluggishly rubbed my face, preparing my mind for the stress of the day. After about 10 minutes, I rolled out of bed and put some music on. I slipped on a random pair of jeans and put on my favorite huge, pale pastel blue, velvet t-shirt. I was almost done with getting ready when my best friend, my godsister-- sad I know, called. I sat there for a few seconds wondering if my highlight was more important than her call, but I ended up picking up the phone anyway.
"Hey, Daisy! We're still on for lunch today, right? I mean if you aren't totally gawking at that cute new neighbor of yours."
I turned off my music and put her on speaker phone while finishing up my masterpiece. "What new neighbor? I didn't know anybody moved in." I, then, heard keys jingle outside of my apartment door. I left my phone and sprinted into the living room, picking up one of my couch cushions to hit the intruder. As soon as the door opened, I closed my eyes and swung at the person's stomach.
She groaned in surprise. "Dang it, Jaslyn! Do you forget I have a key every time I come here?!" She stomped over to my couch and sat down her bag. I shrugged at her and threw the couch pillow at her. "Well, my dear Lion," I started, crossing my arms. "When you don't warn me that you're coming over, how do I know you aren't a stalker or something? Especially since you get our parents to drop you off without me knowing."
"Why would you even have a-" Aliona cut herself off and sighed playfully. "You know what I don't even wanna know about whatever crazy conspiracy theory you came up with today." I turned and started walking to my room to get my shoes. "I'm a sexy beast, sorry. I can't help it, sis." She followed behind me and flopped on my bed while I put them on. "Speaking of sexy beasts, your new neighbor. You gonna try to get with him or can I?" She asked super casually. I stopped lacing my shoe to give her an unamused expression. "One, you are a fetus. How do I know you aren't calling him hot just because he's older than you. Two, I haven't even seen the kid yet." I chuckled and finished lacing up my shoes.
As I stood up straight, I heard a deep voice yell from the window across from mine, "I'd say we're both some sexy ass beasts, so why don't we go wild together for a while, huh?" My head snapped to my window to see a boy around the same age as me smugly smirking at us. I yelled back, "I don't really see the sexy but you do look like a beast," while closing my window and rolling down my blinds. I turned to look at Lion, who was a few shades more red than usual. "Aww, you're blushing! Is this your first time seeing a shirtless boy before" I cooed as I pinched her cheeks. "Shut it. You're only three years older than me. Seventeen isn't exactly little." Lion pouted as I let go of her cheeks. "Have you crossed that stage yet? No, so you're still my little Lion. Now get up." I said as I grabbed my backpack and walked into the living room. "You wanted a lunch date, now let's go," I mumbled as I grabbed my keys and walked out the house with her trailing behind me.
"Don't forget your purse! And lock the door, Lion! I don't want any strange people in my house like last time!" I yelled as I jogged to my car to get out of the heat, leaving the small responsibility of locking the door in the hands of my younger sister. Mistake. Number. One.
