it was fun, peace out.
Mel;
"Mmmm..." I moaned, "I'm tiiired."
I didn't sleep that much the night before. To be honest, it was because of Zach. I kept dreaming about him, and in my dreams he was as happy and cheerful as ever.
Until he wasn't.
That look on his face haunted me. The way his jaws clenched, and his hands made themselves into fists---it was scary.
Who had hurt him? And how? And why?
I found myself needing to know.
But Max snapped me out of it.
"MICKEY MOUSE IT IS, HONEY!" he cried. "Wake up, Mel, it's a beautiful day!"
This reminded me of my childhood, when mom used to wake me up for school, and I begged her to let me sleep for just five more minutes.
She always said no, and took my Teddy Bear away to let me know she was serious.
"You got cinnamon flavored syrup, babe? SCORE!" Max said, hugging Rae.
But Max wasn't my mom, thank goodness. It was then I heard Zach talking to me.
Zach.
"Ah!" I yelped, embarrassed. I hadn't even showered, and I was wearing bunny slippers, and my hair...
Oh my gosh. My hair!
"Uhhh, morning..." I said, grabbing a baseball cap from the coffee table, to cover my bird's nest.
"Mel, why are you wearing my cap?" Max asked, pouring pancake batter in a pan.
"Oh," I said, playing stupid. "This is yours? My bad."
I immediately ran to the bathroom, hopped in the shower, did my hair, picked out an outfit, and packed books, clothes, and my Mac.
And I did this all in less than 45 minutes, thanks to Max rushing me like a little kid wanting to go play a game of catch.
Max;
Breakfast was all ready to be served. But Mel was nowhere in sight.
"Mel!" I cried out. "Breakfast is ready. Is she picking out what books she wants to take?"
I knew, from Rae's stories, that Mel always took books with her on trips and would plan ahead of time which books she would take.
Those books of hers were like her children.
But just as I said that, Mel came out with her yellow suitcase and she looked almost unrecognizable. Her hair was curled, and she wore light pink lipstick. I didn't know much about makeup, but I could tell she had put on cat eyeliner, because Rae did her eyes like that a lot. She wore a white sundress, white flats, and a tan floppy sun hat.
"Okay," she said, pulling a baby pink blanket over herself. "I'm ready."
This was...new. Usually, Mel didn't dress up all that much. At least, not since I have known her. I always Rae to be more of the glamorous one.
Mel was usually happy in sweats, with her hair in a bun.
I could tell I wasn't the only one who noticed; we were all pretty shocked. Zach, especially, looked shocked. In fact, more than shocked...
I knew that look. The sort of hypnotized look you get when a hot girl walks into the room, and you just know you gotta talk to her and get her number, if you're lucky. It's the look I get whenever Rae dresses up.
Oh, shit. Was Zach checking Mel out?
