Only Ever Best Friends

✯ 1 ✯

A generic beginning I know, but the first day back at school after 3 months of vacation is totally a big deal.
Especially since I'm a Junior now.

6:30 am:
I do NOT want to get up. I am not and never have been a morning person. Nevertheless, it's time to rise and shine. I got some new clothes over the summer so I thought I'd do some experimenting and show them off today.

I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. Some girls might add a step to that sequence: makeup. But I've always been too lazy for that stuff, and it's not like I'd have a clue what I was doing if I ever were to try.

I got downstairs and my dad had already left for work, my mom was sitting down at the breakfast table.

"Happy first day, love!" my mom exclaimed.
She had made pancakes, my favorite.

"Thank you, mama."
I sat down and began eating.

[Ethan 💙😂🤟 » Me]:
hey el. there in 5.

"Shit."

"What?" my mom asked.

"The boys are gonna be here in five minutes."

"Oh! Tell them I want to see them before you drive off."

[Me » Ethan 💙😂🤟]:
my mama wants to see u before we go.
[Ethan 💙😂🤟 » Me]:
k... and you better be done eating when we get there.
[Me » Ethan 💙😂🤟]:
how did you—
[Ethan 💙😂🤟 » Me]:
dude I know you 😂 just eat.

Four minutes later I heard a knock, grabbed my backpack and opened the door.

"My favorite twins!" I hugged them both.
"How've you been, loves?" my mom asked.

"Pretty good actually," Ethan said.

"Alright well, I don't wanna make you late for school on the first day but I really want to catch up. Please tell your family they're welcome to come over for dinner tonight."

"Will do. Ellie?"

"Yeah, let's go. Bye mom."

The boys and I went outside and got in the car.
"So how's my favorite person?" Gray asked.

"S'cuse me?" Ethan put his hand on his chest, feigning offense.

"Tired," I said, "ya know you didn't have to drive over, right? You live like a block away, I could've just walked over and gotten in the car."

"And risk my mom seeing you? We'd be like five hours late to school," Ethan said as he put the key into the ignition and we drove away.

"I love Lisa," I smiled.

We arrived at school and found a spot in the student lot, during which Ethan almost accidentally backed over a cheerleader. Most people would be furious if such a thing were to almost happen to them, but my twin besties happen to allegedly be some of the most attractive guys at my school... I've definitely overheard at least ten girls saying they'd pay one or both to "run them over."

But they've been my best friends since we were three, so therefore there's no way I could ever feel like that about them, or them about me either.
