A/N: I appreciate all of my friends saying how good this is. But I want to know what to improve on, understand Gabby? Btw sorry it took so long to get to diagon alley… I like pools xD
I can tell immediately that it is Josh and continue talking to Christian, not moving my head to look at him but staring at Bri off in the distance. Eventually he says it again and I lose my patience.
"JOSH, OBVIOUSLY IM NOT NERVOUS SO LET IT GO. I ALREADY BEAT YOU IN THE GAME, PLAY WITH BRI!" I scream at the top of my lungs and watch as Josh's face turns a red color of embarrassment and goes over to Bri, who started singing the bed intruder song. I continue my conversation with Christian about puppies and kittens when I realize how dark it got. I watch Gabby go back and forth doing breast stroke trying to word a question I already knew the answer to.
"Um Gabby, since um Christian and Josh and Bri are coming to Diagon Alley can they um… sleepover…?" I say doubting myself and look away quickly. Then I add, "Plus, it is kind of dark…" as gabby turns her head my way, I see her puzzled face mixed slightly with anger. Wondering why I would ask such a thing.
"What do you think?" Gabby retorts angrily. "My mom would never say yes to something like that." My embarrassed look slowly turned into a sad pout and knowing she hurt my feelings she says, "I'll ask but I'm telling ya she is gunna say no." right then I know my face must have been so happy that, considering how dark it had gotten, Bri on the other side of the pool could tell I was smiling. Gabby walked up the wooden stairs onto the top deck and asked her mom if they could stay and when she came down her face looked upset. At that moment I thought they couldn't stay.
"The impossible just happened." Gabby said as she sat down with a surprised look, her eyes wide. I open my mouth to ask but she answers my question before I ask it, "They can sleep over…" I stand up and begin to walk out of the water with a large smile on my face. I hadn't been beneath the surface and was sitting on a step, so from my belly button up I was dry. I take a white towel with pink and black stripes and start drying my legs.
Bri silently comes over to me and whispers in my ear "Oh my gosh Josh is sleeping over he just asked his mom and she said yes. Oh my gosh Alexa, I love you!"
My smile gets wider and I reply in a whisper "No problem, plus I know Gabby wanted it too." With that I finish drying my legs and walk inside to change. I walk into the bathroom which is a Yankees paradise with the wall and stickers and pictures of Yankee players. I put on brown and green striped sweatpants and a baby blue shirt and quickly walk out of the bathroom to place my bathing suit outside to dry.
While I'm placing my black bathing suit on the lounger outside I hear some ones footsteps behind me. I hastily drop my bathing suit and whirl around to see Christian running my way, being pursued by Josh, who wasn't far behind. I speedily take a side step and watch as Christian begins to collapse over the lounger.
I pull him up and say, "We're even now." I give him an annoyed look and let go with a little push. As I begin walking inside I notice Bri following me and stop to wait for her. As she catches up I allow her to pass me and watch as she vanishes on her way to the bathroom. Slowly I begin to walk through the door and slowly turn my head to see what's going on. I see Christian being chased off the diving board by Josh like in a pirate movie and Gabby still sitting with a look of bewilderment on her face.
"Where's Sam?" I ask Gabby just recalling that she was supposed to come with us.
"She's coming back tomorrow morning." Gabby replies motionless, and with that I stroll into the house and sit on the couch to wait for Bri.
I watch as Bri comes out of the bathroom with her hair in a pony tail and wearing a grey shirt. As she comes around the couch I notice she has on brown sweatpants and some blue socks with yellow polka dots on them. As she sits she has a worried look on her face and I know why.
"We'll get there Bri don't worry it cant be that hard to find." I say reassuringly and watch her face turn from her once worried look to a smile.
I hear a splash from outside and hear footsteps coming towards me. I turn around to see Christian. Behind him is Josh who is in the little room soaked to the bone.
"Wow that table turned." I say. Bri and I begin to giggle. Josh gives me an angry smile and walks back outside to get a towel as I start gesturing for Christian to join us.
"let me change first my mom dropped stuff off earlier," he says, when he sees my confused look he says," You were in the bathroom." And I give a nod showing my understanding.
As he walks away I realize my hair has fully dried and gone into its wavy state and my bangs won't go behind my ear so I get frustrated. I quickly turn Gabby's computer on and tell Sam to be ready at eight in the morning. I realize Bri has turned on the TV and noggin was still on from the other day. I turn the pink mini computer off and everyone starts coming into the house.
Gabby quickly takes the computer and starts making a base yelling at it when it wouldn't work. Christian came out of the bathroom with a red shirt and some sweatpants on, While Josh annoyed Bri with the 'Are You Nervous' game. Gabby eventually got tired of screeching at the base for not cooperating with her, and went upstairs to change. I quickly steal the computer and wait for Gabby to return. When she does she's wearing a purple shirt and black leggings, and takes the computer back. I begin to watch noggin and in time Christian comes and sits next to me.
"How did you manage to get Josh in the water?" I ask as soon as he sits. He looks at me for a minute and I wonder why he won't answer.
"It wasn't too hard." He finally answers, and then our conversation turns into a discussion on if the tomato is a fruit or a vegetable. Soon everyone's in the conversation and the time ticks away.
As I glance at the TV I notice that it's almost 2:30 in the morning and considering Josh is with us we can't annoy him by calling him like normal. I tell everyone what time it is and we all sigh because we know that Christian and Josh need to stay downstairs while we go upstairs.
We go upstairs and get bored quickly. Gabby fell asleep and Bri and I begin whispering about playing a joke on the boys. Eventually we decide to write on them with my eyeliner so we begin sneaking downstairs. On our way down Gabby's mom caught us and asked what we were up to so we quickly replied playing jokes. As we reach downstairs I see brown and blonde curly hair on the couch and know that they both passed out from all the fun they had. I creep down and begin drawing on Christians face, writing 'Alexa waz here' and 'Christian loves Alexa :P JK' I don't have time to see what Bri wrote when Christian starts moving. Bri and I move as fast as lightning to get upstairs and at around 3:00 AM we fall asleep.
As I look at the clock it says, 7:45. I get up and wake Bri and Gabby up and start squirming because I can't wait for the rest of the day. I tell Gabby she should wake the boys up and run out of the room to straighten my hair. As I finish I pick my eyeliner and put it on then change into my blue shirt that says 'Pisces' across the front and my grey skinny jeans. I run downstairs and remember what I had done to Christian when I see his angry face covered in my writing.
As the door bell rings I yell "I'll get it!" and run up the first flight of stairs to the door expecting Sam. But when I open the door it isn't Sam. When I open the door I immediately look up to see into the giants face.
"Why, hello there Alexa, I'm Hagrid" the giant says as he shakes my hand. "I'm here to take you to Diagon Alley." I let the strange giant in with his long beard and raggedy clothes and tell him to wait downstairs as I explain things to Gabby and her mom. Soon enough Sam gets here and we get ready to leave.
I don't really pay attention on how we got here but all I know is I'm standing in front of an inn, apparently its called the leaky cauldron. We walk through the shabby place and into the back.
The giant, Hagrid begins mumbling to himself, "Three up, two across…" I watch his fingers move on the bricks and watch as he takes an umbrella and taps a brick with it. The wall begins to move and we all start following after Hagrid. All of us stop in our tracks and gasp.
