Disclaimer: None of the characters in the Twilight series belong to me. They belong to Stephenie Meyer. That means that I only own Chrys. Blackie-san owns Jessie and my friend Stephanie owns Stephanie. Also, I do not own Siegel High School.
Also, it's December in the fic. I have my reasons for this.
Chrys rolled over in her bed to look at the TV. Her alarm clock hadn't gone off yet so she knew she had woken up before six. She squinted her eyes and leaned forward a bit to read the scroll going across the bottom of the screen. Last night, she'd left the TV on channel 5 (the news channel) because there was a possibility of schools being closed. She saw the name of her county and reached to turn her alarm clock off.
"Thank you, Harry Gill." She mumbled before dozing back off.
Chrys was woken up a few hours later by the sound of the phone ringing. She figured it was another call for her sister and rolled back over to try and go back to sleep. After all, it was only 8 A.M.
"Hey, Crystal!" Her sister yelled up the stairs. "You awake?"
"Barely..." Chrys replied.
There was no response from her sister so she attempted to go back to sleep, again. Though, that wasn't going to happen because she would only be woken up again by her sister. Who was now invaded her door less room.
"You have a phone call." Her sister said as she walked over to Chrys' bed.
"I don't care." Chrys mumbled. "Tell whoever it is that they can call me back later."
"Well, fine." Her sister replied. "But he really seemed like he wanted to talk to you."
"He?!" Chrys questioned as she sat up quickly. "Who's he? Did dad call?'
Her sister shook her handed and handed her the phone before venturing off back downstairs and into her bedroom. Chrys attempted to get off her bed, but wound up tripping over her blanket and landing with a 'thump' on the floor. At least it was an air mat.
"Are you okay?" The voice on the phone asked.
"Jacob?" Chrys asked as she sat up. "Yeah, I'm alight. I just tripped."
"Oh, well, I'm pretty sure you know we don't have school today."
"I do." Chrys replied. "I was up at, like, four in the morning watching the Snow Watch thingy."
"You stayed up until four?"
"No, no!" Chrys answered quickly. "I stayed up till about eleven and then decided it would be better if I went to sleep. I woke up at four, though, and saw that we had no school."
"I see. Oh, Chrys, hold on for a minute."
"Alright." Chrys mumbled.
She took this time to stand and slip her glasses onto her face. Gracer, her mom's cat, began to meow loudly like her usually did and she glared at him. When he came over and began rubbing against her, she wadded up a stray piece of paper and threw it. Gracer chased after it, but quickly lost interest and came back over to bother her again. She sighed in frustration.
"Gracer, leave me alone." Chrys spat, making sure that the phone wasn't right next to her mouth. "I'll step on you if you don't."
"Who are you talking to?" Jacob asked, finally talking into the phone again.
"My mom's cat." Chrys replied. "He's really annoying."
"Oh! Hey, um, you aren't busy, are you?"
"No, not really." Chrys answered as she threw another paper ball. "Mom will be getting home here in a few, though."
Immediately after saying that, she heard the sliding glass door open and then shut. Her mom had just gotten home.
"Speak of the devil." She mumbled, though she wasn't implying that her mother was evil or anything. "Why'd you ask?"
"You said yesterday that you wanted to hang out and I was thinking, because we don't have school, the two of us could go somewhere."
"Jacob, it's cold outside." Chrys deadpanned, "I will not be going anywhere anytime soon. If you do want to hang out, you'll have to come over here."
"That's fine with me. Will your mom mind?"
"Let me go ask her."
"Alright."
Chrys bounded down the stairs, phone still in hand. Her mom looked at her and she entered the front room. Chrys smiled.
"Hey, mom." She began. "Is it alright if a friend of mine came over for a few? I promise we'll be quite. In fact, we might even go off somewhere so we don't bug you."
"That's fine." Her mom replied. "But your friend will be sent home immediately if the two of you wake me up."
Chrys nodded and ran back up the stairs. She plopped down near the entrance to her room and said 'thank you' before turning her attention to Jacob. Who had waited patiently for Chrys to talk to him again.
"I'll take that as a yes?"
"Yeah, but you'll have to give me time to take a shower." Chrys answered. "Um, come over in about ten minutes."
"Will that be enough time for you?"
"Should be." Chrys said with a nod.
"Alright. See you then."
With that, the two of them hung up the phone and Chrys ran off to take her shower, though, she made sure her mom and sister knew that Jacob would be coming over soon.
A/N:Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you liked it. And, You might not see Stephanie and Jessie all that often.
