Wow! 2 chapters in one day! LoL sorry they're a bit short! Enjoy!
'Where am I?' Eleni wondered as she woke up in a place that wasn't her bedroom. She could hear breathing and felt a body next to her. She looked over and saw Summer asleep, and Katie next to her. The memories of the night before found their way into her head and she realized where she was. She stretched her stiff body and shook the other two girls awake.
"Guys wake up!"
"Where are we?" Katie asked, her eyes adjusting to the sudden burst of sunlight.
"The apartment…we all fell asleep on the couch."
"Shit…my mom's gonna go ballistic!"
"Here," Eleni, said, shoving her cell into her hand. "Call and explain."
Katie called her mom and explained the situation. Mrs. Brown was surprisingly understanding about the situation…most likely because she had a hang over. Next, Eleni grabbed the phone back and called her own mom…who also seemed to be rather understanding as well.
"Hey Sum my mom was talking to your mom on the other line so you're covered."
Summer let out a relieved sigh and went into the bathroom to splash some cold water on her face.
Eleni quickly dialed another number into her phone. After what seemed like a few dozen rings, a groggy voice answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey it's Eleni. Katie, Summer, and I are gonna go get some coffee…care to join?"
"yawn Sure."
"Cool, meet us at Starbucks in 20."
"Alright…hey can you bring that CD you borrowed from me?"
"Yeah…it's in my car."
"Oh and Len…"
"Yeah?"
"Next time you wake me up before noon on a Saturday, I might be tempted to disown you."
"laughs yeah, whatever."
"bye cuz."
"bye."

"Ok, who were you just talking to, and since when are we going out for coffee?" Katie asked.
"Freddy and since…well…now."
"LENI! We don't even have clean clothes to change into! You expect me to go get coffee with the guy I like wearing the same thing I wore last night?!?"
Katie, never being one to care about what guys…especially Freddy…thought of her, blushed and clapped her hand over her mouth.
"Ahh so you admit it!"
"Leni, that's not the point!"
"I know, I know," Eleni laughed. "Calm down…I have clothes in my car…I'll let you borrow something"
Katie snorted. Eleni had practically every item of clothing she owned in her backseat, so she always had extra outfits in case of emergencies (cough clubbing cough).
"Ok….I'll just borrow a shirt…my jeans are fine."
"Ok…Sum do you need clothes?"
"No I've got some stuff…thanks though." Summer called as she walked out of the bathroom.
Eleni gave her a nod and led Katie outside, car keys in hand.
Summer watched the door shut before grabbing the bag she had packed the day before, when she had planned on staying at Zack's house…seeing as how his parents often allowed her to stay in the guest bedroom when her parents threw dinner parties…which usually lasted longer than Summer preferred to stay up, and besides, her parents didn't want her there anyway. She pulled out her clothes and got ready to start the day, thinking of Zack all the while.
Meanwhile…after carefully examining each item of clothing, Eleni finally settled on a denim mini skirt and a white and blue "I'm with the band" tee. She grabbed her makeup bag from the front seat and traded her vans for a pair of green and blue Roos before returning to Katie, who was sitting on the apartment steps, waiting for her, with a fitted Ramones tee in hand.
"Took you long enough." Katie pointed out, with a hint of a grin on her face.
"Oh step off!"
Katie burst into uncontrollable laughter and Eleni joined in as she dragged her back inside.
"Ok we have like 15 minutes." Eleni stated after glancing at the clock on the wall.
Summer sat on the couch, wearing a simple white tee-shirt and jeans with her hair pulled back into a pony tail.
"Ready and waiting." Summer answered, emotionless.
Katie slipped the Ramones tee shirt on over her tank top and put on her red converses. Then, she dug a toothbrush (she kept one there for emergencies) and a kohl eyeliner pencil out of her purse and knocked on the bathroom door.
"come in"
Katie walked in and saw a fully dressed Eleni applying her makeup. Katie quickly brushed her teeth and lined her almond eyes with the kohl. Eleni had dusted her cheeks with blush, and applied a sheer flush of color and a coat of mascara to her eyes. She was applying lip gloss as she dragged Katie out of the bathroom.
"Summer let's go!"
The three girls ran out to the car, Summer sat in the passenger seat and Katie sat in the back, pushing all the clothes to one side. Eleni turned up the radio and headed down the street. The girls sat silently throughout the short car ride. Eleni tapped her fingers to the beat of the music; Summer stared out the window, and Katie brushed out her long hair until it was smooth and flipped it over her shoulder so it fell almost to the middle of her back. As soon as they arrived at Starbucks, the girls ordered Lattes and found a table by a window. After a few moments of random conversation, Katie felt a pair of hands on her shoulders. She tensed slightly, but relaxed when she heard Freddy's lazy drawl.
"Morning Ladies."
"Freddy, God, don't do that. You scared the crap out of me." Katie scolded.
"Sorry." Freddy grinned sheepishly as he sat down beside her and began drinking his Mocha.
Katie nodded and went back to sipping her latte.
"So umm Freddy…" Summer stared into her coffee cup. "Did you talk to Zack?"
"Yeah."
Summer's head shot up, a hopeful gleam in her eye.
"He's pretty upset…but he'll come around."
Summer nodded and turned her gaze toward the window, trying to hide her tears. Katie leaned over and gave her a hug. Summer wiped her eyes and choked back the rest of the tears that threatened to pour out.
"Leni, will you take me home?"
Eleni nodded and threw away her cup.
"Come on hun."
The three girls got up and started to leave, when Freddy grabbed Katie's wrist.
"Katie do you uh…want me to take you home, since you live down the street from me and all?"
"Yeah that'd be great, thanks Freddy."
Freddy nodded and the pairs went their separate ways. Katie waved goodbye to the girls and Eleni winked at her. She blushed and slid into the passenger seat of Freddy's black BMW.
