June opened her front door, trying not to make a lot of noise and wake her parents up. She had spent all night out and even though she said she was at Sarah's she figured they probably didn't believe her.
June made it to her room, closing her door and changing her clothes so her parents didn't ask why she was so dirty. Not long after she heard a knock on her door and her moms voice on the other side.
"June honey? You need to get up." June quickly laid down, making it seem like she had been there for awhile.
"June ? I signed you up for the beach cleanup. I hope you don't mind." Her mother said, entering her room. June turned over with a groan.
"Mom why would you do that?" June asked throwing her hands up in the air.
"Because your friend Sarah is gonna be there and I figured you'd wanna go." Her mom said. "I hope you guys had fun last night. It sounded like it when I called to check on you." June's eyes widened when her mother said this.
"Oh I didn't know that you called. What'd Sarah say?"
"Well she said you two were eating some snacks and playing some board games. I'm glad you had fun though sweetie. It's been awhile since you really hung out with anyone other than Zach." She said, caressing her daughters head. June smiled and nodded, wondering why Sarah would cover for her.
"All right get dressed. You have to be out there by noon."
"Mom it's 8 am . Why do I have to get up now?" She asked.
"I mean I guess you don't." Her mother said, standing by the door now. She watched her daughter pull the covers over her head."Oh by the way... JJs outside doing the shrubs."
June immediately sat up at that, pushing the covers off and smiling at her mom.
"I think I will get ready now." June said, opening her closet and search for her bathing suit.
"I knew that would get you up." Her mother teased before closed the door and leaving June to change. June walked towards her window, peeking out of it to see if her mother was being serious or not. But there he was, going to town in the shrubs with the clippers. June couldn't stop herself from smiling as she remembered the fun she had the night before.
She went back to her closet, searching through it and then pulling her bathing suit out. She quickly put it in before she grabbed her white sundress and put it on as well. She gave herself a once over in the mirror before sliding her sandals on and making her way down the stairs. Her mother stood at the kitchen counter, smiling at her daughter as she walked in to the kitchen.
