JADE POV
"Come on, Jade time to wake up" I hear from somewhere above me I groan burying my head into the pillow. A few seconds later my head snaps up as the smell of coffee makes it was to me.
"Vega?" I ask confused rubbing my face as I sit up taking the coffee from her hands. I look at her, her hair is up in a ponytail, and she has a set of wireless headphones in her hand that is placed on the bed. Is she also wearing running gear? I look her over at for few seconds admiring her in her shorts and tank top before my eyes snap up to meet hers hoping she doesn't notice. "What time is it?"
"A little before seven," she tells me giving me an apologetic look, "We have school so I didn't know what you wanted to do about clothes, I wanted to make sure you had time to go home if you needed to"
"I have clothes in my car," I tell her draining the last of my coffee disappointed that it's finished already. "Sorry for crashing, I've been working on a new play and haven't been getting much sleep"
"It's fine, you do have your own key you can crash whenever you want," she says with a grin "speaking of that key"
"Uhhhh" I groan "You're not getting it back," I tell her and she rolls her eyes.
"I figured as much, it's fine just don't let the others in when I'm not here. My parents apparently don't like having kids that don't belong to them interrupting their date nights"
"Gosh it was one time" I smirk "I don't belong to them won't you Cop Dad be upset about me coming in"
"Nah you are the only one of my friends that he likes," she tells me, and I can feel my eyes widen in shock.
"What why I'm always mean to you," I ask she shrugs standing up and my eyes don't follow her movements at all. Well not much.
"I don't know, but you need to get down to the kitchen and get more coffee this is the part where you deny that we are friends. I'm going to go shower downstairs, you can use the bathroom next door"
"Wait aren't you going to go for a run" I call out just as she walks out of the door. I hear a laugh as she continues to walk down the hall.
"I already have, I wake up at five thirty" I hear her shout back. I stare at the door in shock, only Vega would be crazy enough to wake up early and exercise. I sit up putting on shoes and grabbing my keys so I can grab my clothes from my car. Walking down the stairs I stop at the bottom seeing Trina, at the kitchen table already ready for school and sitting on her computer with a cup of coffee and an empty muffin paper. She suddenly looks up at me.
"Hey Jade, Dad brought home Muffins if you want some and the coffee should still be hot," she says closing her laptop and cleaning up her mess.
"Umm okay," I say not used to this new Trina that acts human. It started a few weeks ago and I'm still not sure what brought on the sudden change.
"I have to go but could you tell Tori I'll meet her there at six" Before I can reply she is already out the door laptop in hand taking away the chance for me to snoop at what she was looking at that caused her to close it when she saw me.
I stand at the door waiting for Vega who just sat back down on the couch, once again on her phone. "VEGA" I scream, and she looks up at me in shock.
"What?" she asks
"I thought we were going to school, I was going to offer to give you a ride but if you are just going to sit on your phone you can walk," I say turning and walking out, deciding to wait in my car for her hoping that will hurry her up. Getting in my car an attempt to turn on the ignition but nothing happens. I try it again and nothing groaning I look at the door I just made a slightly dramatic exit out of and climb out the car walking back inside.
"I thought I was walking," she says eyes still glued to her phone, not having moved since I left.
"Ha Ha, my car won't start so we are both gonna have to walk or call someone for a ride," I tell her. She finally seems to finish with her phone, standing up and putting it in her bag she turns and walks towards the garage door.
"Okay," She says stopping abruptly at the door causing me to bump into her not that she seems to notice as she turns to glare at me. "If you tell anyone about this….. I'll well I will find something embarrassing to tell people about you" I roll my eyes, at her weak attempt at a threat before following her out the door before stopping again to stare at a motorbike that is sitting in the middle of the garage.
"Dang, who does this belong to" I look up from admiring the bike to see Vega wearing a leather jacket and handing a helmet out to me.
"Yeah no I'm not getting on that with you," I say taking a step back, ignoring the feeling her hurt look gives me.
"I promise it's safe I wouldn't let you on it if it wasn't. I'm a good driver I had to be for my Dad to even let me get a bike"
"Fine, but if you kill us remember that you will be stuck with me tormenting you as a ghost forever," I tell her taking a step forward and snatching the helmet from her hand. She grabs my bag from me placing it in the connected bag along with her own before opening the garage door and climbing on before turning and looking at me expectantly. I sigh climbing on behind her as she puts her helmet on. She waits a few seconds before sighing and reaching back to grab my hands to wrap around her.
"Hold on" I hear from inside the helmet before she pulls out pressing a button to close the garage behind her. I involuntary squeeze her harder but soon relax she really is an okay driver. It's only about ten minutes later that we approach the school and I expect her to stop but she drives past it into a back alley.
"Uh Vega" I start to ask but, she soon stops pulling into a reserved spot behind a cafe.
"I don't like parking at school, plus they have amazing coffee here," she says as we both get off the bike and take of off helmets. She takes my helmet from me as she hands me my bag back before turning and walking into the store. "A friend of my Mums owns the place so they let me park here for free"
"What's wrong with parking at school?"
"Robbie is not allowed anywhere near my bike" she explains in a cold tone. She stops at a shelf placing both helmets it.
"Hey T, what took so long your coffee is going to get cold" I hear a voice yell from behind me. Turning to see an older guy standing with two coffee cups in his hand.
"Hey Ethan sorry we took so long Jade apparently doesn't trust my driving"
"Can't blame her, you can be a bit of a speedster now get going before you two are late and no disrupting my customers" he shouts pushing the coffee into our hands and out the front door.
"What the hell Vega!" I yell slapping her shoulder. She looks at me amused as we cross the street and head into the school. "This coffee is so much better than Jet Brew and you didn't tell me about it"
"Sorry, I will make sure I tell you about all good coffee places in the future"
