So this was written four or five years ago at this point. It was a really fun collaboration among myself and my friends and now I'm republishing it (after having taken it down about 3 years ago) so that we can look back on it. Hopefully, other people will enjoy too, but if not, that's fine too.

Happy Reading!

Jennifer POV

"Emma, could you go get The Outsiders off the shelf?" I leaned over to snag a couple chips from the bag beside her.

"Why are you making me move, woman?" Emma asked sassily.

"Because it's my birthday and I want to watch my favorite movie. Besides, you're the only one who can reach the top shelf." I explained. Emma got up, moving obnoxiously slow, probably on purpose. I would have asked Rachel who was already standing, but as the shortest out of all of us it would have just been cruel.

"Can I French braid your hair?" Angelina seated herself behind me and began running her fingers through my hair before I could respond. I felt her pulling slightly at a knot towards the ends of my hair around my waist.

"Ouch, careful." I laughed slightly. "When you're done with my hair, I want to try something with yours. I just saw a youtube tutorial for a really pretty waterfall braid."

"Geez Jennifer, first you insist on doing all our makeup and now you want to do our hair too?" Emma laughed as she put the DVD in its slot and the movie started.

"What can I say, my parents would never let me be an actual youtube beauty guru, so experimenting on you guys is the next best thing." I took my ponytail holder off my wrist and handed it to Angelina so she could secure my hair before we switched places and I began styling her shoulder length hair.

"I can see why everyone thinks you're twins," Rachel said off handedly, "you both have the same colored hair." I nodded slightly at her comment, examining the dark brown color of Angelina's hair. Also the fact we're always seen together. I handed Angelina a mirror to look at herself before stretching slightly and brushing a few stray hairs off my pink plaid pajama bottoms.

"I'm going to bring down some more snacks. Do you want anything in particular?" I asked while getting up off the floor and heading to the stairs.

"More veggie chips and iced tea." Emma requested while smoothing down her sweats. I nodded my head and got the food from the kitchen. When I came back downstairs, I missed the last few steps and fell, landing on my butt.

"Oh my gosh if only my phone was on!" Emma roared, falling over in her seat.

"Are you okay?" Angelina asked me, crying from laughing so hard.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Angelina's giggling had ceased but Emma and Rachel were still cracking up. Rachel burrowed under her Harry Potter sleeping bag to try to calm down. Everything about her was Harry Potter themed that night, from her pajamas, to her sleeping bag, to the DVD box set she gave me as a present.

I turned my attention to the television where Dally was harassing Cherry at the movies. We all laughed when he fell out of his chair, and we were rolling on the floor when Cherry threw the coke in his face.

"You know what I want to do?" Angelina sputtered through her tears of laughter.

"What?" I asked her, giggling.

"I really want to sucker punch someone. You know, when a weirdo asks for a kiss and instead you kiss your fist and punch them," she explained, still laughing. She fixed her turquoise pajamas as she finished laughing.

"Angelina! How unladylike!" I mock scolded.

By the end of the movie, we were half-asleep. I tuned off the television and dimmed the lights. As I was falling asleep, I couldn't help but wish I lived in the 60s.
