Lost But Was It Found?

chapter 7

KIA'S POV

Getting up early in the morning is something that I really hate, not only do I hate leaving the comfort of a bed before the sun is completely over my head but I utterly despise it with all my heart to have to wake up even before the sun, I mean let it at least be morning.Unless it is was emergency where lives were concerned I couldn’t get up at such an hour, nope, nada.

But here I was stuffing my mouth with god knows what as breakfast (since my eyes refused to open, seriously! Maybe they were eggs, hmm where’s my cereal?), and listening to Ivy's nonstop blabbering about  how after spending only one day here, and she was already in love with Rome and couldn’t wait to leave for our trip to Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento and Capri. 

"Eewww", I spat,

"Why is there a glass of wine here next to the glass of milk? Or rather why is there wine during breakfast at all?"

After eggs I wanted cereal, (I know I sound like a pig, but I’ve had cereal for breakfast since forever, so I need it now as a rule).

Well, I had poured a glass of wine in my morning cereal and it tasted horrible.

Let's just say the combination won't make a place in my top five most favorite breakfast's list.

"And why are you out of all the people creating such a ruckus this time of the morning? You know how I hate getting up so early?” I asked Ivy angrily.

"What do you mean ruckus? Is it a crime to be excited to go see a new place especially when we are on a holiday? You are the one who is cribbing about leaving the bed so early, well, who asked you to plant your ass for an eternity on the balcony last night talking to Eden? It's not my fault that you missed out on your beauty sleep and now have bags under your eyes and the foul mood swings", she replied getting equally angry, packing away our stuff.

OMG that was a long speech, she must be pissed, at least she was kind enough to pack my stuff as well, see now I like the unwritten best-friends rule of doing each other’s work at times like these.

Ivy stood in front of me waving her hand in front of my eyes,

“Earth to Kia", she repeated,

“Now don't you start day dreaming about your 'blue eyed hottie' and get up and help me zip this bag up".

I blushed at the sound of the pet name I have given to Eden that I had said aloud (or maybe shouted when I came back into the room after the long chat in the balcony, which woke Ivy up, and now she will tease me forever with this name).

I quickly stole a last glance at the mirror, I had worn comfortable white shorts with a blue polka dot loose top, and I carried my light blue sling bag and white and blue striped belle's (yep, blue's my colour of the day).

While Ivy wore her favorite short jumpsuit with Aztec print and a light green long shirt that she wore unbuttoned as a jacket complete with deep green flats.  

We met up with Stan, Haden and Jacob sitting in the lobby waiting for the rest of us, all dressed casually and ready for the travel, with Jacob in a cartoon tee and Stan in a plaid shirt, while Haden opted to wear both a plain white tee under a smart shirt.

Reese and Sienna came down after five minutes dressed in their usual 'out of a magazine' look, but thankfully it was casual this time which meant hello to jeans and shorts and goodbye to high heels.

Eden and Troy who were looking smart in plain tees and jackets were getting the bills settled on the counter where an overly happy girl was helping them with it. Following my gaze Ivy scrunched her nose and went towards the help desk saying,
