Forbidden Fruit

Chapter 18: Ignorant Nincompoop

Lily's POV
—————

As soon as I woke up, I groaned at the bright light coming through the window. Andrea always forgot to close her curtains before bed.

Andrea starts stretching and rubbing her eyes, "Morning." She grumbled.

"Good morning." I responded, still half awake.

"What time is it?" I mumble into the pillow.

"7:28. Oh my god, it's 7:28. Get up Lily!" Andrea said frantically, rolling out of bed and immediately walked over to her dresser.

"It's not that late, we still have a half an hour." I pointed out.

"Ten minutes to get ready, five for breakfast, ten for the drive, and another five to be early." She grabbed a bra, a pair of jeans, and a baby blue oversized sweater.

As she was jumping into her left pant leg, I laid there and enjoyed the view.

"Get up!" She ordered and I groaned, but complied.

I looked through my designated drawer as she continued getting dressed, and I decided on a plain black crop top, black high rise jeans, black combat boots, and my leather jacket. Some may say I wear too much black, but I beg to differ.

After we were both dressed, we went to the bathroom and brushed our hair and teeth.

Yes, I even have a toothbrush at her house.

Thankfully Will was still at his friend's house so we didn't have to share the bathroom with him. We both kept our hair down as usual, but brushed through it before heading downstairs.

As usual, the smell of breakfast wafted through the air.

"Good morning girls, I have eggs, bacon, and blueberry pancakes ready!" Alexandra said as soon as we walked in the dining room.

Alexandra absolutely loved cooking. She always had food prepared, no matter the situation. She grew up with three other siblings, with her being the oldest. She did the majority of the cooking in her family, and now it was her passion.

"Morning mama." Andrea and I sat down at the table and Alexandra put down the final plates of food before sitting down across from us.

"Mama, you don't always have to make this much." I gestured towards the plates full of food.

"Well, I need to perfect my recipes." She used a fork to put a pancake on her plate.

"Mama, there's no way you can make your food even better." Andrea shook her head before biting on a piece of bacon, and I nodded in agreement.

Alexandra smiled at us and we all ate breakfast together until it was time to leave. We still had about fifteen minutes until our first class started, so once we got in my car we listened to Queen until we made it to school.

After I turned into a parking spot, I turned to face Andrea, "Are you sure you want to do this? We can wait if you want to."

"I'm sure. It feels like I've been waiting for this for forever." She smiled and grabbed my hand reassuringly.

We both got out of the car and walked up the steps to the entrance, and Xavier stopped us, "I hope you didn't think you were doing this without me."

"I was hoping you'd show up." I smiled at him.

We all smiled at each other and walked in, and I immediately noticed Will, Jake, and Nate standing by Xavier's locker.

We all walked towards them, and Nate started talking as we got closer, "Do you have anything to tell us?" Will had his arms crossed against his chest with a smile on his face, as if he knew what would come next.
