Swimming? No thanks

Chapter 5

Sarah's POV

I woke up in a sleeping bag in Max's living room. I looked around to see that Diana was no longer in her sleeping bag, and Max and Alyssa were still asleep.

I got up and walked into the kitchen. "Good morning," I yawned to Diana who was currently getting some cereal.

"Good morning, twinsie!" She said cheerfully as she poured cereal into a bowl and pulled out the milk.

"Don't call me that. We may be twins, but we don't have to act it." I joined her as I pulled a bowl out of the cabinet and poured some Cheerios into it. We both carefully poured milk into our bowls.

Just as we were sitting down to eat, Alyssa walked in. "Good morning!" Diana and I chorused.

"Morning." She did as Diana and I had, got cereal carefully. Max came in as she finished pouring the milk.

"Are you guys having a party in my kitchen without me?" She joked, making her own breakfast.

"Yep. That is exactly what we are doing in here." Diana joked along.

"Man, you sleep in for five minutes." We all laughed.

"After breakfast, we need to go for a swim. Don't want to barf through the day," Alyssa informed us.

"I was planning on it anyway. What are we going to do after that?" Diana wondered.

"I don't know. We probably need to catch up on the work that we missed this week because of Dr. Mermaid-crazy," Max told us. Classic Max, always concerned about school.

"We don't even have the work that we missed. We'll catch up on Monday," I told her.

I got up and put my empty bowl in the sink. I sat back down and waited for my sister and friends to finish. In about five minutes, all three of them were done. We got dressed and ran out to the beach behind Max's house. We dove in and slowly made our way out to the moon pool.

We sat there and talked for a half an hour or so. We swam back and met up with the boys on the beach. Alyssa's hand intertwined with Cameron's and Diana's with Jackson's. We walked about ten feet from the water as we walked toward the Oceanside Café. We sat down and talked until a waiter came up.

He was cute. He had kind of short brown hair that swooped across his forehead. This eyes were a bright blue. His dimples shown as he smiled at us. "What can I get for you?"

"Four strawberry kiwi shakes and two banana shakes," I told him. I knew everybody's orders because I read everybody's minds before the waiter came over.

He looked over at me and his smile grew bigger. I blushed a little bit as he walked off. "Ooh, does my little sister have a crush?" Diana teased.

"Hey, I'm not you're little sister. We're twins. And, maybe." I looked down at the table as my cheeks got darker.

"He'll probably put his number on your cup," Alyssa explained.

We dropped the subject and talked about random things for the next few minutes. The waiter came back and placed our drinks on the table. He handed me a banana shake with sharpie on it.

If you want to call me sometime, here's my number: 367-433-7359 - Alex

I smiled. He wasn't pushy, but he showed that he liked me. "Looks like someone's lovestruck. I think he is too. Every time he looked at you, his smile got bigger and his eyes got brighter."

"Did you see those bright blue eyes? And that perfectly swooped hair? He's perfect, even his dimples are perfect." I commented.

I saw a hand wave in front of my face, but ignored it. "Definitely lovestruck. We need to get help fast."
