Real Life - Sequel To GroupChat

Echo's POV

I wake up how I do everyday, but for some reason today felt different - I felt happy.

I make my way downstairs in my pajamas and start making breakfast for myself and the others.

"What smells so good?" Jacks asks as he wanders into the kitchen wearing only pajama bottoms.

"Pancakes, eggs, and toast. I was going to make bacon aswell but you didn't have any and it would feel wrong seeing how I'm vegetarian." I explain, flipping one of the pancakes.

"But I thought vegetarians don't eat eggs?" He questions with a confused look on his face.

"Vegans and lacto vegetarians don't eat eggs. I'm just vegetarian, so I do eat eggs and dairy and all that." I explain, giving him a smile.

"Ah, okay. Well it all looks amazing regardless, how did you make the pancakes?" He asks confussed, looking over my shoulder.

"What do you mean?" I flip the pancake over again and put it on a plate.

"Like, we don't have any pancake mix or anything." He tells me causing me to slightly laugh.

"They're homemade; It's an old family recipe. There and I'm done." I put the three plates with the food on it on the island and start cleaning up.

"Can you wake up the others so they can come down and eat?" I ask turning around and looking at him with a smile.

"Uh, I can but they don't like it when I wake them up." He says with pure terror in his voice.

"Oh, don't be a baby. Go wake them up." I shoo him out of the kitchen and hear little grumbles as he goes.

A few minutes later as I'm getting the plates out, I hear a scream erupt from upstares. And 5 heavy pairs of feet hitting the hardwoods.

"Echo! Help me!" Jack yells, sprinting into the kitchen with 4 very unhappy people folling after him.

"What did you do?" I laugh as he runs and hides behind me.

"I tried to wake Daniel up because he's usually the easiest, but he wasn't very happy with that, so he kept throwing things at me which caused me to scream and it woke the rest of them up and now they're mad at me." He says in one breath.

"Okay, okay!" I laugh. "Everyone calm down, I made breakfast."

I watch the group infront of me visibly relaxes and my eyes land on a girl sticking close to Corbyn's side.

"Who's the girl?" I whisper to Jack as he helps me get the rest of the cups.

"Oh, I forgot you two haven't met yet. That's Corbyn's girlfriend Christina." He explains in a hushed tone.

I give him a nod to signal him I understand and put the cups down om the counter.

I walk up to Corbyn with a slight smile on my face.

"So, when did Christina get here?" I ask with genuine interest.

"Mm, early this morning." He states briefly, admiring his girlfriend.

"Huh, where's Zach?" I ask, finally noticing his absence.

"Uh, probably sleeping. Dude could sleep through through the end of the word." He jokes.

"You're not wrong." I joke back, causing us to both laugh.

This is what I needed.
