In Sync

Chapter 3

My alarm clock wakes me up at 9:30. Groaning, I turn over to turn it off. Lifting my arms over my head, I stretch my back. Climbing out of my queen sized bed, I slowly make my way to the bathroom.

Once the lights are on, I assess the damage. Just to let you know, if you forget to take your makeup off and then go to sleep, you are in for a surprise makeover when you wake up.

After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I make my way back into my room. My room is teal, with white furniture. One full wall is covered in bookcases filled with books.

Plopping myself down on my bed, I check my phone. 7 new messages. 1 missed call.

HEY!!! I know you're not up yet but I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out with Eddie and I today? ~Adrian

Dude! Wake up! It's like 8. Answer your phone! ~Adrian

I don't know if Adrian already asked you, but do you want to hang with us today? ~Eddie

Jesus Christ, Davis!!! Are your alerts off or something!? ~Adrian

Okay, I guess I'll call you... ~Adrian

Seriously? I knew you were a deep sleeper, but come on! ~Adrain

That's it, we're coming over. ~Adrian

The last message was sent 15 minutes ago. Before I have a chance to even changed out of my last nights clothes, Adrian and Eddie come barging into my room.

"Oh so now you're up." Adrian jumps onto the other side of my bed while Eddie takes a seat on the couch. Adrian turns to me and crosses his arms. "I have been trying to get a hold of you all morning."

"Sorry guys," I say sheepishly. I walk over to my closet and grab a sweater and leggings. "I'm gonna go change. You can yell at me in a minute."

I quickly get changed in my bathroom and walk back out. I throw my clothes in the back of my closet.

"Adrian!" I say, turning to look at him. "You're getting water all over my pillows!" As I walked closer, I could see the dampness of the pillows from where Adrian's head had been. It must have been snowing again because his redish coloured hair was matted down instead of the way he usually styled it.

Adrian moves to sit at the foot of the bed. "Ya, well my hair wouldn't be wet if you would have answered my texts." He sighs dramatically and falls back onto the bed. "I sacrificed myself to the cold that is winter to come and get you, the least you could do is not yell at me."

"I was sleeping!" I yell.

"Guys," Eddie says, joining the conversation. "Can you guys stop arguing for like 2 seconds?" Eddie had a lot more patience that Adrian and I did. "Geez guys, sometimes hanging out with you guys is like babysitting two 4 year old's." He said jokingly. Sometimes Eddie asked us if Adrian and I were secretly related becuase of the way we acted.

"So," I say as I throw my hair up into a ponytail. "What do you guys want to do?" I turn around to see Adrian shake his head like a dog and get water in Eddie's face.

"Well," Eddie starts, pushing Adrian away and wiping to water off his face, "You could start by getting Adrian a towel."

I grab a towel out of the bathroom and throw it at Adrian. "Thanks," he says, though his voice is muffled by the towel.

"We could always watch a movie?" Eddie suggests, walking over to where Adrian and I were sitting.

"Who's turn is it to choose?" I ask.
