Nat's POV
Okay, once school lets out for Winter Break, I am out. I cannot wake up any earlier then noon just because I'm extremely tired. And I really hate being woken up on Winter Break for no reason. Plus, nobody really wakes me up just because they're tired too.
So the next day, when I felt a little nibble on my cheek, it really scared me. "Alex, stop touching my face," I mumbled. It stopped.
"I'm not Alex," Rosalina said. I opened my eyes to find her standing—or really she was kinda hovering—next to my bed. She had a giant smile on her face.
"How did you get in?" I asked. "Why are you here?"
"Well, I climbed in your window," she said. "And I'm here to tell you happy birthday!"
"Wait, it's not my birthday," I said.
"Isn't your birthday the seventeenth?" She asked knowingly.
"Today's not the seventeenth," I said.
"Yes it is," she said. "Now wake up. You have a Saturday birthday. Do you understand how lucky you are?"
"Rosalina, if your going to talk to your boyfriend, can you at least do it outside so the people who are still trying to get some sleep can get some sleep?" Alex asked.
"I brought food Alex," Rosalina said.
"What type?" Alex asked.
"Well, I stayed up all night making cupcakes for you guys," she said. "And I got Nat something I know he really wants." She held up a plate with plastic wrap on it.
"Middle school cookies!" I exclaimed. Alex groaned, they climbed out of bed.
"I'm going to the bathroom where I can have some peace," he said, closing the door behind him.
"How'd you get these?" I asked.
"Well, I had to pay the lunch lady a lot of money to get her to make an extra batch," she said. "But your cute little smile was totally worth it." I smiled then kissed her cheek.
"Thank you," I said. "And I would kiss you on the lips but I have nasty morning breath and after a brutal beat down from Alex I know nobody likes morning breath." She giggled lightly, touching down on the ground. I jumped out of bed and gave her a proper hug.
"Now, go wait outside," I said. "I need to change."
She walked out the door. As soon as she was gone, Alex came back out. "Hey lover boy," Alex said. "She's not here anymore so you can stop looking so happy."
"Alex, did you know it was my birthday?" I asked him.
"Yea," he said. "But I know I did not want another black eye." I laughed, going into the bathroom.
So after we both finished changing, we went outside to find Rosalina at the stove cooking. "I know neither of you have ever eaten my breakfast," she said, putting plates before us.
"Rosie, you didn't have to make us breakfast," I said. Alex on the other hand tore it up.
"Come on Nat," she said. "It's your birthday and I didn't buy you a present so I need to make up for it."
"But—" I was cut off by Alex.
"Nat, you need to try this," Alex said with his mouth full. "It's like she flew up to heaven and brought back a breakfast."
He cut a piece of the pancake off and stuffed it in my mouth. It was delicious. So was everything on that plate. I finished it in a matter of seconds. "Oh my god," I said. "You are an amazing chef."
"Can you make lunch too?" Alex asked.
"Alex that's rude," I said. "Actually can you?"
"Maybe," Rosalina said. "But I'm here for two reasons. One, your birthday. And two, your dad thinks I'm babysitting Alex."
"He doesn't trust me?" I asked.
"With the life of a little boy?" Rosalina asked. "Of course not."
"Well, I still have some cupcakes to look forward too and the best cookies I've ever tasted." I said.
We all walked to the tv room, settling on separate chairs. Alex was sitting in the egg chair (no surprise there) and me and Rosalina were sitting together on the couch. I think we were watching a movie, but I have no idea what it was or what it was about. Once the movie ended, Alex popped in one of his video games which did not interest either me or Rosalina.
"The band's coming over," Alex called to us as the door opened. The loud and sometimes annoying voices filled the room as they walked over.
"Hey guys," I said. They all stopped at stared at me. "What?" I asked.
"Yo–you have yo–your arm around her," David said in astonishment.
"I know," I said. "Is there a problem?"
"Well usually only couples do that," Qaasim said.
"Your not a couple," Kristina said.
"Yea we are," Rosalina said. They all gasped.
"Since when?" David asked.
"Last night," I said.
"At the dance," Rosalina said.
"Woah," Qaasim said.
"Wait, who initiated it?" Kristina asked.
"Technically Rosalina did," I said.
"Technically?" Rosalina asked.
"Okay, I asked you to be my girlfriend," I said.
"But I'm the one that kissed you and told you I liked you first," Rosalina said.
"Well you wouldn't have if I hadn't called you beautiful," I said.
"You wouldn't have called me beautiful if I didn't kiss you," Rosalina said. She smirked after I didn't answer.
"Boys, I believe you owe me some money," Kristina said. Qaasim and David rolled their eyes, putting money in her hand.
"Me too," Alex said.
"Alex!" I exclaimed. "You bet against me?"
"Yes," Alex said, collecting his money. "No offense to you or anything."
"Anyway happy birthday," Kristina said.
"Oh yea," Qaasim said. "That's why we're here."
"We all got you something," David said.
"Not including me," Alex said.
"I think this'll be the best present you'll get today," qaasim said.
"Rosalina brought me food," I said. "Not just food. The cafeteria cookies."
"Where are they?" Kristina asked excited.
"Don't you dare touch my cookies," I said.
"It's not like you have any power to stop me," Kristina said.
"I still have more powers then you," I said.
"Nat, calm down," Rosalina said. "Don't you want to see what they got you?"
I sighed. "Okay."
"Woah," Alex said. "She got him to quite arguing in just one sentence."
"I wonder if she can get him to do his homework," David said.
"Just give him the present," Qaasim said. David rolled his eyes, picking up a box and handing me a box. I tore it open, revealing a small live animal.
"E. T?" I asked.
"Yea," Kristina said.
"We know you and Alex have to share Lucky," Qaasim said.
"And I'm starting to develop an allergy to E. T." David said.
"Come on Nat," Alex said, walking over. "Me, Juanita, and dad all got you something even better." Alex handed me a small box.
"I don't know Alex," I said. "You have to beat a puppy and food."
I opened the lid revealing the latest iPhone. I gasped. "You got me a phone?" I asked.
Rosalina sat back down with the plate of cookies in her hand. "Cookies," she whispered to me.
"Dog," Kristina whispered.
"Phone," Alex whispered.
"Guys, this isn't a competition," I said.
"Your right," Rosalina said. She smirked evilly, taking a cookie in her hand and waving it in front of my face. "Don't you want the cookie?" She asked alluringly. I nodded my head viciously, letting ET lose into the apartment. "Do you really want the cookie?" I nodded again. "Wouldn't you say this is your favorite thing today?"
"I'll say anything to get me that cookie," I said. Everyone groaned as she handed me the cookie.
