The next morning I was awoken to the smell of pancakes. I got up off the floor and walked into the kitchen.

"Morning, honey." My dad greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, dad." I greeted back.

"Chloe and Grace still asleep?"

"Yeah."

"Well the pancakes should be done in a couple minutes, so if you'd like to, you can go wake them up." I nodded and walked back into the living room.

Chloe was passed out, while Grace was on her phone.

"There's pancakes in the kitchen if you want some." I said.

"Thanks." Grace said getting up and heading into the kitchen.

I walked over to Chloe and gently shook her. She wouldn't budge so I shook her more vigorously. She jolted awake.

"Yo, there's pancakes in the kitchen." I said. She jumped up and ran into the kitchen. I quickly followed and we all ate.

"You three want to go sledding today?" My dad asked as we cleaned up.

"Yes!" I shouted, I love to go sledding.

"Great. Go get ready and then we'll leave."

We quickly hurried up and threw on layers upon layers of clothing.

"I'm going to call Lincoln and see if he wants to meet us over there." Chloe announced.

"I'll call Eli too." Grace said.

After we were ready, we all piled into my dads car and headed to the park. Eli and Lincoln were already there by the time we got there.

We got the sleds out and set them at the top of the hill. Eli and Grace got on a sled, while Chloe and Lincoln sat in a sled. I got on a tube, while my dad got in another one.

"Wanna race?" Eli asked.

"Yeah!" We all shouted back.

"On the count of three. One, two, three!" He shouted and we all took off.

We flew down the hill, Eli and Grace in the lead. I hit a rock or something and bounced right off the tube. I fell onto the ground and rolled down the rest of the hill.

I tried to stand up while everybody was laughing at me.

"Guys, it's not funny. I don't f-feel too well." I said staggering a little, tripping over my own feet. I ended up falling onto the ground.

"Need some help, Ellie?" My dad asked.

"No, I'm fine. I'm slowly getting less and less dizzy." I said standing up, staggering only a little. I quickly regained my balance and started walking up the hill. I got my tube and continued walking.

"That was so much fun!" Chloe said as we walked into Applebee's. The waiter seated us we started to look at our menu's.

"What are you getting?" I asked Chloe.

"Lincoln and I are going to do the two for twenty dollars." She responded. I nodded and continued to look through the menu.

"Want to share the two for twenty deal?" My dad asked.

"Sure."

We finished choosing what we wanted to eat and ordered when the waiter came. After we ate, Eli and Lincoln left while the rest of us went back to my house.

When we got there, we all headed towards my room. We all changed into a pair of sweats and a t-shirt.

"You think we'll have school tomorrow?" Chloe asked, typing away on her phone.

"I don't think we will," Grace said, "it's snowing again; it's like a freakin' blizzard."

Later on, after dinner, we decided to Face Time Lincoln and Eli.

"Hi!" Lincoln shouted through the phone, waving everywhere.

We all exchanged our 'hello's' and the four of them started a conversation. I sorta drifted away, deciding to read my book. I was engrossed in my book when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up to see Chloe and Grace.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Why aren't you talking and hanging out with us?" Chloe asked.

"Because, you cause are having 'couple time' or whatever the hell it is that couples do, and I don't want to intrude."

"Why would you be intruding?"

"I don't know. I don't want to be the third wheel. That makes me feel terrible." I said, chuckling.

"Well, if it makes you feel better, Eli and Lincoln's 'third wheel' just arrived at Lincoln's house to hang out with the two of them. Now you two can be third wheels together!" Grace said excitedly.

"Yeah, because that makes me feel so much better." I said chuckling and rolling my eyes, but getting up anyway.

"Yay!" The two of them shouted simultaneously.
