Chapter 2: Sleepover
I know it may sound ridiculous, we were in Senior year and we were still making sleepovers but I was really excited to have Alex and Polly at my place, my mom really loves Polly, she´s been my friend since kinder garden, she has been in my house for a sleepover before an she knows how much mom loves to give us junk food and milkshakes, you know my mom is one of the sweetest persons of the world, she is really polite and she loves good manners, once the boys came to the house with horror movies and burgers and John dropped a soda on Polly´s skirt and my mom saw it, she never lets me invite John again since that day, so I hope she likes Alex, she is kind of the badass girl of the school, she keeps on cursing everybody who steps of her way and she never lets anyone bother her, I mean that's cool and I really wished I could be like that but im not sure if my mom is going to liked it the way I do.
The girls were supposed to arrive here at 4 pm so we could have dinner together but Polly texted me and she said she wasn't coming, at first I was sad you know, it wasn't going to be the same without her but I figured that I would be for the best, I told my mom about Polly and she felt the same way I did, my mom had prepared her famous pasta, it's the most delicious thing on earth and I knew Alex would love it, it was quarter to four and someone knocked at the door, I reached the door to open it and it was Alex, apparently she loves punctuality as much as my mom did so it was a great beginning.
Sorry im a little early she said, but I love punctuality, I hope you don't mind. No, there´s no problem I said with a smile on my face, I was really worried about her being late, my mom hates when people arrive late, she considers it rude and disrespectful. Alex had a box of chocolates in one hand and a cake on the other one, she gave me the chocolates and she thanked for the invitation and she gave the cake to my mom and thanked her as well, I have to admit that I was really impressed, I didn't think that Alex Vause was like that and I saw my moms face, she was impressed too, we welcomed her and we started dinner, Alex loved my moms food and she even asked her to teach her someday to cook her special pasta and my mom agreed, after we finished dinner I showed the rest of the house and we went to my room, we seated on my bed and started talking she told me his dad was the drummer of a famous Rock band and she showed me some songs of his dads band; the songs were cool but I wasn't really into rock music im more like a pop girl and she respected that, she also told me her mother was a waitress at Friday's and had two other jobs to pay for their bills, she wasn't ashamed about that, in fact she was very proud of her mom and all the things she had accomplished, she told me that she had never met his dad and he might not even know about her existence but she considers him as a great man.
I told her a little about my family, I told her I really loved chick-flicks and mind games, I showed her my favorite songs and bands, apparently she isn't really into pop music because she didn't even recognize any of my songs and that's really weird because most of them are on the radio's top 40´s, we laid on my bed and watched The Great Gatsby while eating popcorns and fries, when the move ended we went to my garden to watch the night sky, I really love stars and constellations I find then really interesting, she likes watching all the light of the Universe and all the shapes and colors that exist, I thinks it's a little metaphoric and philosophic but it was nice. When it was passed midnight we decided to get back to my room and talk for another while, we discussed about books and art films, she showed me more of her favorite bands mostly 80´s rock bands and just a few of our generation and after talking and talking we put on our PJ´s and went to sleep. The next morning my mom prepared pancakes and croissants for breakfast, Alex was really happy and she looked relaxed, before she left she told me she really enjoyed the sleepover.
Thanks for all Pips, she said, I really liked the night, Thanks for coming Al, I sad, and you know you can come whenever you like.
Hey Pips we should take breakfast together on Monday at school, if that´s cool for you.
Yeah, that would be great Al, thanks again for, everything. I swear I'll finish the great Gatsby for Monday.
I´m counting on that Pips, see you.
