8:32am Avas house
Ava was starting to open her eyes. The blinds were letting enough light in to wake her up. She groaned slightly as she peeked her head up to look at the time.
She saw the time and let her head fall back to her pillow. C'mon it's saturday. No waking up early. Go back to sleep. Believe it or not she fell back asleep. Next time she opened her eyes the time said 11:34am. She nodded pleased.
"I can deal with that.." She said as she somewhat stretched, Almost like, a cat. Wonder why. She yawn and went to her bathroom. Still in pjs she went downstairs, only to find her aunt cooking. That would explain the smell all around the house.
Her Aunt was always like a second mother to her. She and her husband decided to, I guess adopt Ava,when she was almost 6 Years old. And ever since, they have always seen her as their daughter of their own. Well, another one of their daughters. Since they have an older daughter, Sheila,who's married and moved to Canada for work issues. So in a way, I guess you could say Ava was always the little one in the family.
"Morning sweetheart." Her aunt said as she slightly peeked from the corner of her eyes to see her. While she scrambled eggs.
"Morning Aunt Claire," She greeted as she walked inside the kitchen. She walked behind her and gave her a tight hug as she sniffed.
"Mhm, smell good!" She said looking down at the pan. Her aunt chuckled. Ava started to walk towards the fridge. Getting her milk, as usual.
"Made you eggs," Her aunt said as she smiled.
Her aunt was a cook. Maybe not a professional, but she knew her stuff when it came to cooking.
"Yummy!"
She made her way to the table, placing the milk down. "Here you go," Her aunt said handing her a plate with hot scrambled eggs. "Thanks," she said. Placing it on the table and sat down.
"Do you have any plans for today?" She asked washing the dishes.
Ava nodded while she swallowed. "Mhm, maybe. I might call Kara, you know the new girl I told you about.."
Her aunt thought for a moment. "Oh yea, the one that insults Sam, right?"
Ava snorted a little. "Yea her, I might call her to work on a project for science.."
Her aunt nodded. "Okay," She said. As she looked like she had something on her mind. She smiled a little as she stopped washing the dishes.
"So how's Peter?" She asked trying to sound casual, but couldn't help to smile. Ava chewing her food looked up surprised by the question. She shook her head slightly as she put down her fork.
"Aunt Claire please, don't start." She said almost begging. Her aunt raised her eyebrows as she seemed to be waiting.
Ava sighed. When her phone went off. Oh my gosh, Thank you! She glance at the phone as she grabbed it, and saw 'MJ Calling' she looked up to her aunt.
"I have to take this.." She said giving her an innocent smile. She got up and walked up to her aunt as she kissed her on the cheek "Love you" she said. As she ran up the stair, making her way to her room.
"Hey MJ," she picked up. As she closed her door.
"Hey," MJ said, in her typical happy tone. "So, I got your text last night.." She said.
"..."
"Ava, c'mon you have to tell me!" She somewhat begged.
There was a sigh on the other side of the phone.
"Agh..MJ you have no idea what happened..."She said as she let herself fall in her bed.
"I will as soon as you tell me.." She teased playfully.
Ava bit her bottom lip. MJ is her best friend. She was about to start when she heard a ringtone sound. Wow, it looks like ringtones are on her side today.
"Really?" MJ complained. "Hang on, sorry." There was a moment of silence.
Ava was a little relief, but new she was gonna tell her anyways. She heard Mj talking, not sure if to her, or to herself.
"Hang on, let me see who's calling..." She said as she did it.
"Yea, no problem.."
"Oh," She said sounding a little excited. "Hey, um it's Kara." She said.
Ava frowned a little. "Oh..okay.." She said as she looked around her own room.
"Do you wanna talk to her? I mean I can call you later.."
"..."
"MJ?..hello?"
"Hey, um, y-you wouldn't tell her right?" MJ said in a little shy tone.
"Tell her what?" Her eyes widen. "About last night?! What? I mean..I just started to talk to her..."
"I was just wondering." MJ said. "She looks like she's really our friend.."
Ava thought about that for a moment. She had just started to get to know her.
"I..um..I don't know.." She said unsure. "I mean I like her, I do. But, I've only known her for a week..."
"Oh yea totally, don't worry, I was seriously just asking.." MJ said understanding.
There was another pause. She did really liked Kara.
"Okay, fine. You're right, I really should just tell her," she assured. "she's gonna find out the more she hangs with us anyways..." She pointed out,
"Wait, but I don't wanna make you feel pressured." MJ said in a worried tone.
"No, no it's totally cool."
"Okay then, let me add her on the line."
Few minutes later, MJ explained to Kara that Ava was on the line.
"Alright, we're all here!" MJ said excited.
"Hey Ava," Kara's voice came out.
" hey Kara" Ava greeted. "Oh, btw remind me to talk to you about our project." She pointed out.
"Okay,"
"Alright Ava," MJ said. "The phone is all yours"
"Yea thanks.." Ava scoffed.
"Btw Kara, Ava is gonna tell us about her last night..I guess, almost kiss." She finished.
There was a small gasp from the other side, clearly not Avas. "You guys kissed?" Kara said excitedly.
Ava froze for a moment. "You guys...who?" She asked unsure.
Kara giggled a little. "You know, you and Peter." She pointed out. Slightly in a 'duh' tone.
Now the two other teens froze.
"H-how did you know?" They both said at the same time.
"Please it's really obvious." Kara said. "But anyways, what happened?"
Ava shook it off, and began to tell them everything.
"Really? Your car?" MJ asked still not buying it.
"I know, I know.!"
"So what did you guys do?" Kara asked,
"We kinda just...shook it off I guess.."
"That's good..I mean don't get stuck on it." MJ said.
"Yea, don't let that just make everything awkward." Kara added. "Have you had a chance to talk about it?"
"No. it's just that..ugh I don't know.." Ava said. "Can we just change the subject for now?"
There was silence.
"Okay then, what do you wanna talk about the project?" Kara said changing the subject.
"Oh, right." Ava had already forgot about it. " We need to start working on it.."
"Right.." Kara agreed. "Like today you mean?"
"Yea.. If we can all do it today, then yes."
"Well guys, I'll let you two talk about your project" MJ said. "Bye, see you on monday "
"Oh, ok..Bye"
"Bye MJ,"
She hung up.
"Project...umm...well, if you want we can work on it in my house.." Kara offered.
"Your house?" Ava asked. "Oh, I mean we can just go to a library..or something.."
"Okay, I'm fine with either one..."
"Yea, lets just go to a way easier...but thanks anyways.."
"Yea no problem..." She said. "So.. The library close to school?"
"Umm..yea I guess...yea that sound good."
"Okay cool. What time?"
"Oh umm..4?
"K sounds good."
"Okay, I'll tell the others."
"Alright, see ya there."
"Okay, bye"
"Bye"
Ava clicked the 'end call'. She looked at the clock and it said 12:45. Whoa better tell them once in for all. She obviously dialed Peter first. She went to her contacts and clicked on Peter. As she waited for a response.
Teeet...teet...teet
Peter was helping aunt may with the food when his phone started ringing. He saw 'Ava calling' he felt a little nervous, but decided to shake it off.
He took a small breath of air as he walked to the living room.
Teeet...te- "Hello?"
Ava stiffened. "Oh hey,"
"Oh,Hey Ava, um what's up?" He said trying to hide his shaky voice.
"Oh hey Pete, um I called Kara, and we were planning for the project to meet at the library around 4.. is that okay with you guys?"
"Library? Yea sounds good.. I'm sure Sam doesn't care, so yea, it sounds good.. I'll tell him.."
"Okay, great..um see you there." She said a little shy about it.
"Yea, okay bye"
"Bye."
Peter clicked on the 'end call' looking a little relieved. He really thought talking to her again, would be really awkward after last...night. But he was glad it wasn't. Guess it's true, there's no need to worry about it and make it a big deal.
Peter walked inside the kitchen again, a little smile on his face. Aunt May noticed.
"Well look at you all happy all of the sudden.." She said smiling.
Peter chuckled. "It was Ava, we um, we're going to the library to work on a project.."
Aunt May nodded. "And I'm sure you're happy because of the project.."She teased with a little smirk on her face.
Peter playfully rolled his eyes, as he smiled. "I'm gonna tell Sam, before I forget.."He said looking down at his phone.
He put it next to his ear, ringing, as he peeked at the time on the microwave. Reading12:52. He waited, and slightly shook his head. He's still probably sleeping. This kid could sleep all day if he wanted to.
He ended the call. And walked inside the kitchen again. Putting his phone in his pocket.
"He didn't answer?" Aunt may said sitting at the table. She seemed to be waiting for Peter.
Peter scoffed. "Sam can sleep all day.." He pointed out, as he sat down. "I'll call him later.."
1:45pm Peter and aunt May had already finished and cleaned the kitchen. Aunt May went upstairs to take a shower as Peter sat in the couch and turned the TV on. Oh right, call Sam. He leaned on one side as he took his phone out. He called again, as he waited, he stretched his arm on top of the couch.
He yawn as he waited, he was a bout to end the call. When he finally heard a...noise?
"Mhhm..."
Peter frowned. "Uh..?"
"Mhm yea..?" The voice sounded...weird..like there was something in his mouth. And at the same time like if he was asleep.
"Are you still sleeping?!" Peter said sounding amazed.
"Mh-I'm eating.." This time you could clearly hear the food in his mouth.
"Oh, alright I'll call you later.."
2:16pm Peters phone started to ring, as a picture of Sam making a weird face was on the screen, on the bottom it said 'Sam calling'. Peter looked at it for a second, he did not remember having a picture for Sam in his contacts. He shook his head.
"Nice picture.." He teased.
" thought you would like to see my face every time..." He said casually. "what's up..?"
"Oh um we're meeting in the library close to the school to work on the project.." He heard a low moan. "Around...4." He added.
Sam sighed. "Okay...fun." He said sarcastically.
"Yea, hey 4 okay? Not 5! Since you always like to add an extra hour." He reminded him.
"Okay okay I got it..geez be there at 4. I'll be there...sadly"
Peter rolled his eyes. "Alright see ya there.."
"Yea yea, later"
4:06pm
Ava was the first to get there, she parked not to far away from the entrance. She looked at the clock one last time before she stopped the engine. Then opened her door and went to the door behind hers, bending over to grab her bag, which had her books, and laptop. As she straightened up hanging her bag on her shoulder. She saw a car about to enter, just waiting on the stop light. She knew exactly who's it was as soon it got closer.
The music was loud, not outside but inside. You could hear the speakers vibrating. As it turned, it went straight at somewhat speed, not too fast but, definitely exceeding the 5mph red, big...well, huge sign. It kept going straight passing her car as it made a sharp turn three parking spaces away. She closed her door, crossing her arms, standing underneath a tree as she waited for him to get out of the car.
She looked to her left to see if any cars where coming in. Then back to her right and saw Sam walking away from his car, putting his keys in his pocket. She started to walk as they both met.
"Really? No books, no nothing?" She asked as they walked towards the entrance.
Sam shrugged. "It's a library, you don't need books." He said. Ava sighed.
" You're here early...that's a first." She said surprised. As they reached the entrance.
Sam smirked. "And last.." He said as he opened the door for her. She laughed as she went in.
They both entered and Ava started walk to look for a table while they were standing close to the entrance. As Sam followed her looking up then all around the huge entrance. Clearly he didn't come here often. He stopped as he saw Ava stop next to a table putting her stuff down.
He pulled out the chair across from where Ava was sitting. He sat down and slouched a little. As he watched Ava get all her stuff out of her bag. He joined his hands together in front of him, elbows resting in the armrests of the chair.
"Did you bring your whole locker?" He asked as he eyed at the pile of books in front of him.
She gave him a face. "You'll thank me when we need it."
He raised an eyebrow. Really doubtful that he would. But he scoffed and began to look around, again. His eyes going from right to left without stopping. Until they were caught by a moving movement. He frowned and narrowed his eyes as he saw Kara standing in the entrance waving. His eyebrows came closer together as he quickly took a glance of Ava, she was waving back. And he turned his head back to where the table was.
"Hey," she said making her way to the chair next to Ava. Putting her bag down on the floor. "Hey, guys" she said again.
"Hey Kara," Ava said while she opened a book. As Sam gave her a small smile with the edge of his mouth, and slightly moved his face up once. Minutes after she had settled in there was silence in the table.
"I can't believe Parker is not here yet.." Sam said as he stretched his arms.
"Oh I saw him on the parking lot, he was just entering." Kara said, leaning over for her bag.
Sam nodded and made a victory face. "Ha, I beat him." He said proudly.
Ava glared at him. "Good for you." She said sarcastically.
Sam shrugged. As he saw Peter walking towards them. "Speaking of beating..." Sam said smirking. As he looked down at his phone. "17 minutes late Parker.." He said shaking his head pretending to be disappointed.
Peter gave him a face as he continued to walk. "Sorry, can't control traffic.." He said moving his hands.
Peter squeezed himself between the wall and Sams chair. "Ah, hey guys, sorry for being late.." He said as he sat down next to Sam across from Kara.
"Not a problem.." Kara said smiling as she pulled out a book.
"Okay, now that we're all here," Ava said as she pulled out her laptop in front of her. "we should probably start with choosing the two animals we want.."
"I'll choose!" Sam quickly said raising his hand in the air.
Ava frowned. "Yea, no."
Sam made a face. Seriously, sometimes he was worst than a five year old. "why not?" He complained.
"Because," Ava started. "Knowing you, you'll probably choose the one with the weirdest name.."
"Yea, you would.." Peter said chuckling a little, Kara was the same way.
"Okay fine, then me an Peter choose one. And you guys choose the other one." He suggested.
Ava turned to Kara. "Alright, I guess that's sounds good to me, do you wanna do that?"
Kara shrugged. "Yea sure, I'm fine with that."
"Okay then, when we have the two animals, we'll start doing the research." She said opening her laptop.
Ava looked up to the two boys in front of her. They were sitting down and looking around. She laughed a little, but more to herself.
"Well, you need to start by bringing books." She pointed out. Kara slightly laughed quietly.
"Oh, right" Peter said as he got up.
Sam quickly frowned. "Books?" He said making a face. "Why can't we use the computer?"
Ava sighed. "Because we need two sources. One online, and the other from a book" Kara explained a little looking at the a screen from avas laptop.
Sam had a horrified face almost. "Why do you guys get to do the one online?"
Ava looked up. "Because you are the guys. You're suppose to do the hard work...or something" She said. Kara smiled still looking down taking notes.
"Sam just come and find books" Peter said as he was already walking for the shelfs. Sam walked almost stumping.
"I hate books.." He said as his voice faded away.
Ava rolled her eyes. "Boys can really make a project a pain...And by boys I mean Sam." She said also taking notes.
Kara laughed. "Is he always like this?" She asked still laughing a little.
"Who Sam?" Ava scoffed. "All. the. time.." She said shaking her head. Kara shook her head smiling.
10 minutes had passed and the boys were not back yet.
Kara and Ava had almost half a page each of notes. Kara started to look around.
"What?" Ava asked looking down at her page.
"Are there any bathrooms?" She asked. Ava frowned, as she started to looked around too.
"Umm," she was looking around. "Oh, there they are," she pointed to the end of a hallway.
"K thanks," Kara said getting up. "Be right back."
Kara was coming back from the bathrooms as she dried her hands a little in the air. Taking the remaining of the wetness off. She put her hair back behind her ear as she looked randomly to the sides of the other hallways of book shelfs. When she passed one and frowned, then stopped midway in the straight hall and walked slowly back. The corner of the shelf was blocking half of her face.
She saw Sam standing in the middle of the hall, rubbing his neck. She frowned looking up as she saw on the sign 'D'. She rolled her eyes.
"You are looking for Amphibians, right?" She asked standing outside the straight hall, as she crossed her arms.
Sam looked to his right. And saw Kara standing in the edge of the hall. "Yea..?" He said casually. As he returned his look back to the books.
Kara smiled to herself and shook her head, almost unnoticeable. "Just making sure." She said. "Since you're looking in the 'D' section.." She pointed out.
Sam looking at the books quickly frowned. As his eyes went straight up to where the sign was, and saw the big 'D'. He sighed annoyed. Only because he'd been looking for 10 minutes.
Kara looked at the ground as she raised her eyebrows. "Just saying.." She said , as Sam turned to look at her and she had already started to walk back. As she walked away she heard Sam say "I hate libraries
