Hayner's POV

I was in my room after school. It's been about a week since the incident at ski camp. Man, that was embarrassing. Pence was rutting us all week! But I gotta admit, it was pretty funny.

I heard a knock at my door. Probably Ellie wanting to play with me.

"What?" I call out.

"Not what!" I hear my mother say, opening the door.

"Hey, don't just waltz in!" I yell, sitting up on my bed. "I could've been naked or anything!"

"Hayner, since when have I ever walked in on you naked? Anyway, I have some good news!"

I noticed she was holding the phone.

"What is it?"

"I just got off the phone to Patricia…"

Patricia was Olette's mum. She, my mum and Pence's mum are all really good friends, kinda like we are, except they were all the same gender. They all went to the same school, and amazingly had kids at nearly the same time. I wonder what Olette's mum wanted?

"She asked me if Olette could stay over tonight."

I gulped, my heart skipped a beat. Olette? Sleeping? Here? I mean, she's slept before, sure, once or twice, and she's been here a million times, but that was with Pence! This is just me and her… alone… well, not quite. Hey, wait a minute… it's a school night! She must be kidding…

"Oh…" I said, stretching out the word.

"Is that okay?"

I perked up a bit. "Yeah! That's fine!"

"Oh, good. I don't know what Patricia would've done with Olette if we said no."

"How come?"

"Well, both her and her husband have to get up at 5am for work, and Olette is driven by her mum. It's too far for her to walk and her mum wakes her up anyway, and Josh has gone out of town for a week. We were the first people she asked though. She said Olette asked herself to stay here.

"Really?" Wow, I never would've guessed that!

"Yes, she's coming after tea, okay? Are you right to wake up in the morning?"

Mum doesn't usually wake me up. I use my alarm clock, but that trusty morning it didn't will never happen again.

"Yeah, it'll be fine!" I say. I was feeling pretty good.

"Okay, do you wanna sleep in here or the living room? You might want to watch a movie or something."

"Yeah, I'll do that. Thanks, mum." I say, smiling from ear to ear.

Mum laughs a bit and leaves, saying "Well, organise the mattress and everything, she's coming soon!"

----

After tea, I set up the mattress and bedding, got a few DVDs out and some food for when we got hungry. Mum warned me it wasn't going to be a full sleepover, and that we had to go to sleep by midnight.

I was sitting on the couch waiting for Olette's arrival. She was late. I was a bit anxious, because it was so sudden and completely unexpected. I mean, this girl that's my best friend, that I lo-… like, is sleeping over at my house!

A car pulls into the driveway. Finally!

I jump up and pretend I'm doing something when the door knocks. Mum answers it.

"Hello!" My mum grins, opening the door.

"Hi!" Patricia beams back. Then I casually walk up and say "Hi, Mrs. Hanson!"

"Hello, Hayner!" She smiles cheerfully. Thank you for having Olette!"

"No problem!" I say. I look out the door and see Olette grabbing some things out of the boot. I go out to help her whilst our mums have their chat, which normally goes for hours.

"Hi, Olette!" I smile. She looks up, looking especially happy.

"Hi, Hayner!" She says, looking back down at her bag.

"Let me help you." I say grabbing her school bag. She has another bag, which must contain her school clothes and pyjamas, and her doona.

"Thanks!" She smiles. She grabs out her bag and doona and shuts the boot, heading for the front door.

"And sometimes she doesn't wake up, so if she sleeps too long, just wake her up…" I hear Patricia saying.

"Oh, don't worry; I'm sure Hayner will get her up, right Hayner?"

"Sure, mum!" I say. But we both know it'll be Olette waking me up.

I drop Olette's school bag next to mine and lead her into our living room, where she drops the doona onto the mattress and the bag of clothes on the couch. We head back to the front door and wait for Patricia to leave.

Alright well, what I hear the whole time is blah, blah, blah, and then finally Patricia kisses Olette goodnight and leaves, on the last note;

"And Olette, don't forget to brush your teeth!"

I guess out parents are more alike than we know.

Olette and I move into the living room and set up the bedding. Mum's tired, and says she's going to bed early, and even though her beds at the other end of the house, she tells us to be very quiet.

It's about 9pm and Mum and Ellie are in bed, and Olette and I are deciding on a movie to watch. We can never decide.

"Alright," I sigh, "How about I go make some popcorn and you put in a DVD and surprise me!"

"But I don't know what you wanna watch!" She protests.

"Anything! I don't care!" I say for the hundredth time.

"Neither do I!" She says.

We stare at each other for a few seconds before laughing, and I go into the kitchen to make some popcorn. She eventually puts in a DVD and insists on helping.

The popcorn machine is quite loud.

"Won't that wake up your family?" Olette asks.

"Nah, Mum could sleep through a train." I say placing a bowl underneath the chute in the machine.

"What about Ellie?"

"She'll be fine!" I assure.

Olette knows my house like the back of her hand. She doesn't even need to ask where the butter is when she spoons it into a cup and puts it in the microwave for our popcorn.

Sometimes our popcorn machine plays up. It started shooting popcorn everyone.

Olette and I started laughing as unpopped corn started flying all over the floor. Then a popped piece came out and Olette caught it in her mouth. We laughed some more and I had to smack the machine to get it back in the bowl.

Finally the popcorn was done and the butter was poured over it, and we went back into the living room to watch the movie. Olette had chosen a comedy that I hadn't seen before. It was still in it's packet.

It was absolutely hilarious. Olette and I were in stitches for most of the movie. I'm glad I hadn't watched it before; because watching it with Olette was the best… her laugh is so cute. Not that I'd ever admit that.

When the movie was just finishing, I heard a small voice.

"Hayner…"

I turned around to see Ellie standing in her pyjamas, with her teddy bear in hand.

"What's wrong?" I say, slightly annoyed. She's ruining the finale!

"I had a bad dream…" She said. I noticed she'd been crying. But what was I supposed to do about it?

"It was just a dream Ellie. It wasn't real." Olette reassured.

Ellie liked Olette. She walked around the couch and sat down in between us and hugged her knees, with her teddy bear.

Man, what are you supposed to do when little sisters have nightmares?

"What was it about, Ellie? Olette asked softly.

Geez, she was the youngest of her family and yet she knew what to do with annoying little sisters.

"There was a monster in my cupboard…" She cried.

Oh, no… not the monster in the cupboard again… She never gets over that. No matter how much mum and I tell her, she still thinks there are monsters in her cupboard.

"Was there?" Olette said compassionately. "Do you know how to get rid of them?" She said in a secretive kind of way.

Ellie sniffed back. "No…"

"I'll show you. You go up to your room and turn your light on, and wait in your bed. I'll be up soon to get rid of the monsters."

Ellie put a small smile on her face. "Okay." She said, and got and, padding her feet all the way down the hall into her room.

"What are you doing, Olette?" I asked, following her into the kitchen. She reached into the pantry and pulled out mum's lavender spray which she used rarely for the kitchen. She cleaned the kitchen so much she never used it.

"Can I borrow this?" She asked, holding up the purple can, covered in flowers.

"Sure, but why?"

"You'll find out."

I follow Olette up to Ellie's room. Ellie is on her bed, looking towards her half-open cupboard.

"Do you know what this is, Ellie?" She asked, holding up the can.

She looked over to me and back at the can. "Nope." She said, shaking her head. She's never seen mum spray it before.

"Well, this is a secret potion made by fairies." Olette explained. "They make this in the garden out of flowers and magic fairy dust. Do you know what it does?"

Elli shakes her head.

"Well, you spray it wherever you think there are monsters…" Olette went on, opening the cupboard. Elli winced a bit at the sight of her cupboard opening, but then Olette sprayed some of the lavender scent inside the cupboard.

"Monsters hate the smell of lavender. They go away when they smell it." Olette said softly. "And the magic fairy dust keeps the monsters from coming back, even when the smell has gone."

Ellie smiled.

"So whenever you think there are monsters, this fairy spray will always be in your cupboard, ready to scare the monsters away!"

Ellie had a smile from ear to ear. "Thank you, Olette!" She cried, lunging out for a hug. Olette hugged her back and smiled.

"Goodnight, Ellie." She says, hopping up and turning out the light. I shut the door and watched as Ellie lay down, looking very happy.

Wow, Olette was brilliant.

She would make a wonderful mother one day.

"Olette, that was great!" I said as we reached the living room again. "How'd you learn to do that?"

"My mum told me that when I was little. I was never afraid of monsters ever again!" She exclaimed.

I smiled. Then I realised we were still in our clothes. And it was 11:30, so it was no use starting another movie.

"Um, if you wanna change in my room that's alright." I said, handing her the bag of clothes.

"Thanks, Hayner." She said, walking down the hall.

I quickly got changed into my tracksuit pants and a T-shirt. It was nearly winter now, but I didn't really mum. Olette soon came down with her pyjamas on, and they were orange. Orange was Olette's colour.

"Do you wanna go to sleep now?" I asked, just as she yawned. I laughed.

"I'll take that as a yes, then!"

She giggled and I let her get settled in bed before turning out the light and hopping in myself. Fatigue had caught up with me and I was quite tired.

"Hey, Hayner?" Olette said quietly. Heh, she was getting tired.

"Mm?" I asked, shutting my eyes.

"Can you make me a promise?"

I opened my eyes again. Her eyes were shut, but she had a smile on her voice.

"Anything." I said.

"Promise me that we'll always be together like this." She almost whispered. "Promise that we'll always be friends, and that we'll always know each other. Kinda like our parents."

I smile. Even if I couldn't get Olette to lo- ……LIKE me in return, I'll always have her as a best friend.

"I promise." I say, edging the slightest but closer. She doesn't notice.

I see her smile go even wider. She looks really peaceful when she's sleeping.

I know what game we can play!

What game is that?

Well, what you do is you spin around lots and lots, and keep going until you fall down! It's really fun!

Wait… Huh… Wha?

Oh… that dream again.

Olette and I when we were really little.

Wait… Olette and I? Isn't Olette here?

I open my eyes and glare at Olette, sleeping before me. I must've rolled over a lot in my sleep, cause I was right next to Olette, my nose touching hers.

I recoil, looking back at her. She was definatley asleep. You could tell. I look over to the DVD player, which says it's 7am. Why do I always wake up so early when something's happening?

I lie back down and shut my eyes again. Soon I hear padding down the hallway. It's Ellie. She always wakes up mum in the morning and then watches T.V. before breakfast. I knew she wouldn't wanna wake us up, but I'm sure Olette wouldn't wake up. When I hear Ellie come out of the toilet, I sit up and beckon my hand for her to come over. She runs over joyfully and I say she can turn on the T.V. if she's quiet.

She turns it on low and watches happily. I give up trying to fall back to sleep and sit up to watch the cartoons. Mum calls Ellie to breakfast and in 5 minutes I see Olette stir.

I watch her waking-up routine. I mean, everyone has one, right? Mine was to stretch out m arms and fingers and rest for a while before getting up. Pence's was a big yawn followed by rolling over tens of millions of times. I never payed much attention to Olette's though.

She stirred a little before moaning slightly and rubbing her eyes, and rolling over to one side with her eyes still shut. But I knew she was awake.

I jumped up and down on the mattress, causing her to jump as well. Her eyes opened and she made a little yelp before giggling.

Hayner!" She cried, grabbing my pillow and hitting me with it. I grabbed it off of her and before we knew it we were in a full throttle pillow fight. Ellie decided to join in after finishing her brekkie and mum watched as we all fought with our pillows, Ellie using the couch pillow. I felt a bit pushed-in, though… it was our game! All well, maybe next time.

Finally, Olette and I got up and mum served us breakfast. Olette asked for cereal, so I wanted some too. I dunno what made me immediately say "Me too!"

After brekkie we got changed into our school uniform and, said by mum, we brushed out teeth, which turned out to be quite funny itself.

I was ready, but Olette wasn't. I never realised how much trouble girls went to to do their hair. She spent about 30 minutes on it! Lucky we got up early enough! By 8:30 we left the house and were on the way to the bus stop.

"Thanks for having me, Hayner. It was lots of fun!" Olette beamed. She seemed to glow in the sun as we walked and her eyes glistened in the light.

"That's alright." I said casually. "It was loads of fun!"

"Yeah, maybe my parents should work early every day!"

We smiled. Olette was really good company to be with. I wish we did do that more often.
