It's been a while (Johnny Cruz/Joonas Parkkonen) - Santa Cruz -

No Romeo

Blinking still half asleep she sat up and yawned.
Why the fuck was she lying in the sand?
She looked around and found Johnny right next to her still asleep.
The other boys were there too.
Just then she remembered why she was in the sand.
Johnny moved beside her and murmured something.
"Hm?", Sammy turned around and looked at him with a questioning look.
"How late is it?", he asked and sat up too.
"Don't know."
She grabbed her phone and read the time.
"1:14pm"
Shit.
4 missed calls from Jordan
Shit shit shit.
"Shiiiit."
She got up quickly and walked around to find connection.
"What's wrong?", Johnny asked watching her confused.
Not answering him she dialed Jordans number.
"Oh so you finally decided to pay any attention to me?", he answered jokingly after a while.
"Jordan I'm so sorry. I just woke up. I didn't plan on staying up so long. I'll head home as soon as possible. When does the movie start?"
"Woah chill your balls. Take your time we can watch the last movie. That would be around... 9pm."
"9pm. Okay. I'll make it this time. See you there."
"See you Sams bye."
He ended the call.
"Thanks for waking us Smallie.", said Archie sleepily.
"I'm sorry. When are we heading home?"
"Chill I want breakfast before we go home. Why? Do you have any plans?", he said and got up to search for his shirt.
"Actually yes. I still got time though. Where do you want to get 'breakfast'?"
Can you call it breakfast when it's after 1pm?
"Dunno. How bout Bella's cafe?"
Sammy just shrugged at that and turned towards the car where Tazzy just put his bags.
"I'm in for Bella's.", said Middy still sitting half asleep on the ground.
Said and done.
The five headed to the cafe and ordered their food and drinks.
"So where are you going later? You seemed to be in rush.", Archie asked and sipped his coffee.
"I'm going to the cinema. But there's still time."
"May I ask who you're going with? Just curious."
"Sure. I'm going with Jordan."
"Oh this dude."
He finished his croissant and looked at Tazzy strangely.
"What?", he asked as he noticed Archie's look.
"Uhh.. I'm just thinking about our studio times. Is tomorrow scheduled?"
"Yes.", said Johnny to answer his question to Tazzy.
"Okay.. Well that's... ah no. Nevermind. Just reversed the dates."
The three boys and Sammy looked at him confused but he just smiled and looked down to his coffee.
"Weirdo.", mouthed Johnny as his and Sammy's looks met.
She smirked and nodded.

After they finished their 'breakfast' Tazzy drove all of them home.
Sammy spent the rest of the afternoon to do homework and to get ready for the cinema.

Spider Man.
She asked why he wanted to watch it again.
He just said that it's a different part.
Just like last time she fell asleep before the movie even started.
Jordan woke her though when the film started.

"Jordan I need your opinion on something.", Sammy said as the two of them walked out of the cinema.
"Just tell him."
"What?"
She didn't even say what she wanted yet.
"Just tell him that you like him. He likes you too you know."
"What the actual hell are you talking about?"
"Johnny? Isn't that what you wanted my opinion about?"
"No it wasn't and stop saying that we like each other."
"Oh I'm sorry then. But I still think you should tell him."
"I was about to ask if you think I should invite Archie and the boys to the party. I'm not sure if I want to have a bunch of drunk guys there. I mean you and Anne and the others don't know Archie and even less the boys. It's so complicated to become 18."
"Yeah well it's a good point that we don't know them, well I do, but you should at least invite Archie. And this drummer because he invited you too."
"So to summarize it I should invite them. Because if I invite Tazzy I have to invite the others too."
"Yeah probably. It would only be fair after all. Just do what you feel comfortable with. If you want to keep it small then just have a party with us and celebrate with your brother and his band some other time."
"Nah that's shit. I guess I just invite them. They most likely have other plans anyway."
"Oh I know a guy I'm sure he won't have other plans."
He smirked and winked at her.
She knew exactly who he was talking about.
"Go home Jordan!"
"Yes I will.", he laughed and got into his car, "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yep. Goodbyee!!"
Jordan had to drive because he lived not as close as Sammy.
It took her not more than 15 minutes to walk home.
Jordan lived 10 minutes away by car.
Shortly before she reached her house she got a message from Johnny.
