Ch. 2 Wake Up Calls
Totally loved the two reviews I got! Well I'm aiming to have readers laugh, frown, and jump up and down with giddy while reading this story so if I'm doing a good job just let me know.
Brooke stared at her other best friend, Rachel, as she slept. Rachel was very pretty girl, long red hair, killer body and yet she wasted it all looking for love in all the wrong places. Brooke's heart ached sometimes when she heard Rachel sighed with wistfulness when she looked at Nathan and Haley.
Brooke knew exactly what Rachel thought with that single sight, they both wanted something like that, a shot at something that was close enough to love. The three of them had grown up with dysfunctional parents that threw their kids in the care of nannies while they jetted off to exotic places or their jobs. Being only children with no other siblings had made them selfish and a bit too rude when it came to caring about other people other than their selves.
Brooke and Nathan had grown up next door to each other so their nannies always planned play dates for them being the only little kids on that side of the neighborhood. By the age of 7 Rachel moved in and moved right into their little twosome changing it to a trio. They got along just fine, they did everything together and when middle school hit, puberty set in too.
Both girls developed beautifully and Nathan being one of the most handsome boys in their grade did not deter their friendship. Nathan grew up into their protector and Rachel and Brooke grew up to fend off all the wrong girls from dating their best friend.
"What are you looking at skank?" Rachel jokingly huffed out at Brooke as she rolled over on her stomach and stretched out.
"Just wondering how it's so early in the morning and you look so whorish" Brooke jumped from her perch on the window seat as she got away from the pillow Rachel threw at her.
Rachel just glared and moved lazily to the bathroom across the hall only to be shoved aside and running into the doorframe when Brooke zoomed by and slammed the door in her face. Rachel tried the doorknob, of course it was locked so she started to pound on the door and Brooke just cackled from the other side of the door" You snooze you lose!" Rachel rolled her eyes in annoyance how dorky could her best friend get?
Nathan woke up in the guest room, that was really his room at the Gatina's, to hearing Rachel hollering and a screaming Brooke begging for her life somewhere in the house.
This was how he started his mornings practically every day of his life to the joyous sounds of Brooke and Rachel either trying to kill each other and ending up in his room looking for him to settle the problem or save one of them, mainly Brooke, or the sounds of their music and blow dryers.
He didn't mind these were the sounds of his family.
With a heavy sigh and sleep long forgotten he got up and headed out to the dim hall making his way to the main staircase he peeked downstairs and saw nothing, going slowly going down an ear splitting shriek filled his ears and he picked up his pace.
There they were in the living room with Brooke under the coffee table and Rachel trying to drag her from underneath. The sight was way too funny when all that Rachel manage to get was Brooke's pajama pants and Brooke ran hiding behind Nathan, he just laughed and laughed clutching his stomach." Nathan stop laughing it isn't funny she gave me a wedgie before we made it downstairs and now this!" she pinched him but he barely paid attention to her, he continued laughing even harder at hearing the new information.
" Well you should have let me use the bathroom first because you take longer to get ready and you know that the rule in the house is that you go last in because you take all eternity" Rachel growled at her and trying to take a swipe at her also. Brooke just huffed annoyed and stuck her tongue out at her.
Finally being able to breathe Nathan decided to referee so he could get breakfast and start his day," Ok girls, Rachel you had your revenge with that wedgie and Brooke you know the rules." Brooke let out and undignified loud what and Rachel fist pumped in victory.
What would he do without his girls?
