"This has got to be the most talkative breakfast ever!" Sonya exclaimed, looking around at her four friends sitting at the counter with her. Everyone was finally up, happy about it or not, and all having pancakes courteous of Sonya. At the moment though it was dead pan silent except for silverware.
"I think everyone is too hung over babe." Avery commented before taking another bite.
"Hmm ya don't say?" Sonya grumbled irritably. "Someone here sure was talkative and hour ago." She continued while casting a glance at Castiel who offered no response.
"You got me at least!" Avery said though it was clear her smile was forced.
"Thanks but that's what roomies are for."
"Oooh so that's how it is, huh?" Avery gave a mock angry face. "I'll remember this one missy! Don't come crying to me if you ever get into a pickle! I won't be there!"
Sonya rolled her eyes. "Dearie I think we both know you will need me ten times sooner than I will need you."
"Phhft." Avery waved her hand in dismissal but they both laughed. "Damn seriously did someone freakin' die?" She said then, looking around at the guys.
"My head might have." Nathaniel mumbled. "Remind me why that was supposed to be fun?"
"It is at the time, but some things have consequences. Hard ones." Sonya answered to which he quickly agreed.
"So when in the hell are you people going home anyways?" Avery asked after they had finished eating.
"Actually I should be heading home now anyways. I never planned on being out all night. Thank you for the breakfast Sonya. It was nice talking with you Avery." Lysander said, being the first to move. "Are you coming with me Castiel?"
"Nah, think I'll stick around and bug these two some more." He answered with a wicked smirk on his face.
"Fair enough. Later guys." He waved casually before leaving.
"I really should go too." Sonya looked over at Nathaniel with a pouty face. "I'm hoping this hangover isn't too noticeable." He commented.
"Just pray mommy and daddy aren't home." Castiel imputed.
"No one asked your opinion. At least I have them there when I do need them." That ended the conversation quite quickly enough but not without a death glare.
"Oh so you have to leave and I still can't get rid of him!" Sonya said teasingly while pointing to Castiel.
"Hey no one said you had to put up with me!" He shot back.
Nathaniel shook his head. "Sorry Sonya." He made a face. "I'll be lucky to slip this by Amber." They all inwardly groaned. "I will see you later though." He said softly, giving her a hug and quick kiss before he departed as well.
After a few moments of silence Avery blurted out, "I am sooo not in the mood to clean shit up." The other two easily agreed.
School had been in for a little while now but it was still hot like summer out and most of the teens were out of doors. This day in particular quite a lot of them were down at this big park were the guys played football and the girls were catching sun rays by the lake.
"That was a pretty wicked party you had last week Sonya." Rosalya commented from where she laid comfortably on her stomach, soaking up the sun. "You so have to do it again."
Sonya didnt look away from reading and shrugged. "We'll see. I never really intended the first."
"Heard it was so pumped up that a few people crashed at your place because they couldnt even make it home." Iris spoke up next, grinning under her sunglasses.
Sonya made a face. "Only Nathaniel, Lys who hung out with Avery talking all night and Castiel who isnt a stranger to my house."
"That isnt no joke." Avery scoffed. "You said you were looking for a roommate but never warned me your best friend is always bunking with ya." She teased. "How come you didnt just keep him?"
"Because even I can only take so much of him." Sonya rolled her eyes and laughed. "Anyways I need some girl time."
"Well you have plenty of it now." Rosalya pointed out, beckoning a lazy hand at all the girls chilling there. "Hey how does that go anyways with them two? Ya know your boyfriend and best friend? Nathaniel and Castiel? Hate one anothers guts?" She was almost to the point of wanting to hit Sonya in annoyance before she inderstand what she was. leading to.
Sonya mouthed an oh. "It isnt always that great but its okay since the two arent always around one another at the same time. There hasnt been any blood shed yet and its been a good year or so."
Rose shook her head. "Why do they even hate one another?" Avery asked.
Sonya said, "Just this stupid girl." at the same time Ross said, "Nat tried to steal Cas girl."
Avery blinked. "Why do I have such a hard time believing that?"
"Because it didnt happen, thats why." Sonya said with a grumble in her voice.
"You only say that because you didnt like her, Sonya." Iris said.
"With good reason." She grumbled again.
Rose smirked. "I was just figuring a case of jealousy."
Sonya shot her a glare. "Oh please. I dont have anything to be jealous of. Shes gone now and I still have him as my friend. Just call it looking out for him."
Rose raised her eyebrows teasingly. "Okaaay whatever you say!" She spoke in a sing song voice. "Bet you've never told him you're own Nats side."
"Of course not." Sonya shook her head. "He would get so pissd thinking I only took Nathaniels side because I have a thing for him and couldnt believe I wouldnt defend him."
"Well he wasnt too happy with the latter of you dating Nathaniel either." Iris added in.
"She has a point there my dear. The guy takes his girl and then his best friend? Harsh"
Sonya was growing midly irritated. "It isnt like that at all and if it were a real problem he would say something to me."
"Are you really sure though?" Rose asked.
Before Sonya could shout yes in response Avery piped in about something else to change the subject and Sonya was relieved. There wasnt any real problem anyways.
All of the girls were content in their own spaces either dozing or reading or evenchecking themselves out. Not one was paying attention and failed to notice how quite it got around them, and not one noticed the guys surrounding them all and slowly creeping closer. Only did they noticed when one voice called out. "Get them!" By the time that they looked around them, they were already being ambushed.
Each boy grabbed a girl each, hoisiting them up over their shoulder or on their backs and took off running into the lake, jumping in and taking the girls with them. the girls all screamed during the whole thing while the guys surfaced and started laughing, high fiving one another.
The girls started their own revenge and began tackling the guys under water. it ended up being a pretty huge battle of guys vs girl water fight consisting of spashing and dunking until all of them were pretty well worn out and starving.
"See now this is how you live." Avery said before chomping down on her hot dog. "Nice warm weather, some water fun, great cook out food, and a bonfire to top it off!" No one could agree more.
"Too bad its all going to go away soon. It wont be too long before it gets cold." Iris said in a glum tone.
Sonya shrugged. "Fall colors are pretty. Plus there is pumpkins and festivals and Halloween and..."
"Is there any season you dont like?" Nathaniel asked with a chuckle beside her.
"Winter." She shudderd. I mean I like Christmas and New Years but i hate the snow and cold."
"I'm with ya there." Castiel agreed. "I dont do the cold or snow."
"Awe I think snow is beautiful." Violette said softly, speaking for one of the first times.
Sonya shrugged again. "Sure. If it wasnt cold." Then they all laughed. After everyone had chowed down on all they wanted most moved closer to the fire since it was getting a bit chilly as night fell.
Sonya sat with Nathaniel, her head resting on his shoulder. She was deep in thought, flickering fire reflected in her eyes. "Thinking of something important?" Nathaniel asked her quietly and she jumped out of her reverie and looked at him.
"Nothing actually important just..." He waited patiently. "Just of my family." He still continued to wait to see if she would say anything further. "Its been awhile ya know, but I've never heard anything. Well my parents never really contacted me afte I was taken from them but I haven't heard from my brother either. I guess I didnt expect it, really. He certainly isnt the greatest but its so weird."
"I understand." He said and gave her a tight one armed hug and she leaned into it greatly.
"I dont feel like I should even bother caring but then I sort of feel bad... I guess."
"You dont have to worry about it. If your family didnt care enough about you then dont let them hold you back. You have one big family right here." He gestered to everyone around them and Sonya smiled.
"You are right. I have a bunch of great friends and Castiel has always been more of a family to me than anyone and i guess he could say the same. I have you as well and you are family as well."
"I will always be here for you, Sonya." He promised softly. She nodded her head in response and the enjoyed the rest of their night in comfortable silence.
