CHAPTER 13: Breakfast, is Served
ARIA'S POV:
"I'll get it!" I yelled as the timer for the microwave went off. We were all making breakfast and…it was pretty destructive.
"Hanna watch it!" Emily yelped as Hanna almost ran into her with an open carton of milk.
"Sorry! You were in the way." Hanna replied. Emily rolled her eyes.
"Hey, Spencer, pass me the eggs would you?" Emily asked. Spencer grabbed the eggs.
"Here you-"
The eggs fell to the floor and shattered. Spencer narrowed her eyes and turned to Hanna, who was smiling guilty behind her.
"Did I bump you?" She asked cautiously.
Spencer sighed. "No, I just like throwing eggs on the floor." She remarked sarcastically.
"Okay, I got it, I need to be a little more careful.." Hanna rolled her eyes.
"A lot more careful." I added. She glared at me playfully.
"Says the person who had their legs sticking out off the couch." Hanna smirked.
I felt my cheeks heating up. "Are we still on that? I thought I said sorry!"
"Guys…stop." Emily sighed. "We need to finish making these pancakes so that we can clean up this mess."
"Okay mom, I got it." Hanna joked. Emily shook her head.
"You are unbelievable."
"What? Me? No way." Hanna crossed her arms.
"You're the one making all the mess-" Emily gasped as the bag of flour she was holding ripped, pouring flour everywhere.
"You were saying?" Hanna laughed. I felt tears leak out of my eyes I was laughing so hard. Spencer's face had turned red, she was giggling so much. It made me feel better to see her so happy.
"Damn it," Emily groaned.
We all pitched in helping clean up the flour, but Emily cleaned most of it.
Finally, after many more Hanna-caused catastrophes, the pancakes were ready. I set the plates out, and Emily carried the pancakes out to the table.
"Wow…those look awesome Emily…" Spencer remarked.
"No kidding! This is sweet!" Hanna grinned and grabbed a pancake off the plate. Emily swatted her hand away.
"Could you wait until I put them on the table?" She laughed. Hanna shrugged.
"Maybe, but I'd rather not."
I sat down next to Spencer, and everyone dug into the golden pancakes of perfection Emily had made.
"Ohhhhhhh god, sooooo gooooddd…" Hanna moaned while she stuffed pancakes in her mouth.
"Can we not sound like we're having sex while we're eating?" Emily questioned Hanna.
"But these pancakes are so perfect.." Hanna replied.
I rolled my eyes. Luckily we didn't have school today. Yesterday was our last day of school before winter break.
"So I was thinking about Christmas, and I was wondering if you guys wanted to get together at my house for a gift-exchange." I suggested.
Emily's head shot up. "Yes! That sounds awesome!" Christmas was her favorite holiday.
"Sure that sounds cool!" Hanna smiled. Spencer nodded.
"Perfect." She smiled.
The rest of the meal went by smoothly, Hanna only spilled syrup once, and everyone had a good time. Later Emily had to leave to help her mom with errands, and Hanna went back to the couch and took a nap.
I yawned and stretched before finishing piling the dishes in the sink.
Suddenly Spencer's phone went off from across the room.
"Sorry, I'll get it. It's probably my mom." She smiled politely and walked over to the couch to retrieve her phone.
I watched as she picked up the phone.
"Is it your mom?" I asked after she answered.
However, her face falling was the only answer I needed.
