MINA'S POV:

My head had just hit the pillow when I heard my door open. "Sweetie the Ferrari's are going to be here in an hour and I need you to clean your room," She said sweetly before closing the door.

The Ferrari's are sadly not the family that owns the car, but rather my family's best friends. Mrs. Ferrari and my mom met back in college and stayed close. Then one night they decided to take pregnancy tests as a joke and they both came back positive. Yep, they were both pregnant. That night they vowed to make sure that their kids were raised as best friends.

Well they stuck to it nicely, which is why they are coming over in an hour. Every Friday they come over for a family dinner. Their oldest son (and my best friend) Luciano and I usually dip out and go have some fun on our own, but it's nice to have a time to look forward to.

I groaned and rolled over. I stood up and started to pick up my, very cluttered, room before they got here. I guess I had lost track of time because just as I was putting away my last clothes into my closet, I heard my door slam open. Luciano runs in and pulls me to the bed. I can't help but laugh as we lay there staring up at the ceiling. He has always been a good friend. He recharges my battery in a way I can;t explain. The problem is that when you are a boy+girl friendship people tend to think you are dating or in love and that just isn't the case. Him and I have always had a platonic love. I enjoy how low pressure our friendship is yet he is so dependable.

We were in the process of catching our breath when my mom walked through the door for the second time today. "Luci and Mimi, it's time for dinner." the second she said it, I jumped off the bed and started to run down the stairs, but was shoved to the side by Luciano. "oh hell no!" I yelled as I ran to catch up. We loved to race to dinner and the winner always got to pick their seat. Since we were kids we always fought for the seat at the head of the table. I don't know why either of us cared so much, but we had been doing it since we were kids and neither of us wanted to be the loser.

Our families ate our large dinner and had polite conversation. Mrs. Ferrari made sure to ask about my school and my friends. Luckily I had all the good things to report back. Slowly the conversation turned to the parents talking about their grown up things that we didn't really care about. I leaned over into Luciano's ear and whispered, "wanna go get ice cream?" His ear perked up because he LOVES ice cream. He nodded and we both stood up. we both slipped on our ugg slippers before we both turned to the door. Our parents never questioned us because they knew we would stay safe and look out for each other.

We got in the car and his music started to play. It was some rapper he liked, but i don't really care for rap music so i made a face. He noticed and rolled his eyes before handing me his phone. I giggled and found the music app. I decided to play Lord Huron because it was the perfect vibe for the cool summer night it was. We sat in comfortable silence as we drove with the windows down.

Seconds later, I groaned dramatically causing him to look at me. "Lucccciiii (my super awesome nickname I gave him that now everyone calls him, but he only liked when I say it) I don't want to go back to school," I whined as I slouched down in the seat. I heard him chuckle, but he didn't say anything, he just stuck his hand in my lap. I grabbed and started to play with the fidget ring that he had gotten, but only I used.

My sadness about the upcoming school year didn't last long because I pulled up to the ice cream place. I hopped out and excitedly ran up to the window and got my order in quickly before he could catch up. "I will have the same as her," He said when he finally did make over to where we were. I gave him a look and stepped to the side so they could prepare it for us. "But you don't know what I got?" I questioned him and he gave me a flat look. "you get the same thing everytime. One scoop of caramel crunch in a cone." I giggled, he knows me too well.
