The  next few days went by smoothly. Everyone was back into a routine now that school had  started back up from march break.

When I woke up at 6:30, I had a 5 minute shower and got dressed, I settled in doing my hair later and let it air dry. I decided to follow the other girls lead and wear shorts/a skirt because it was getting warmer. 

(Megan doesn't have the sweater on)

I went downstairs with the other girls to make breakfast. We had made a deal with the boys: we would cook breakfast, they would clean  up from breakfast. They would make supper, we would clean up from supper. It was working really well because the boys were always cranky when they woke up before 7:00, whereas the girls and I could wake up at 6:00 and still be ready for the day in 30 minutes. 

"Ready to cook for the monsters?" Maddie asks me as we walk out of the door of our rooms. 

The house had a layout so that Maddie and Jay's room were in the same hallway as mine and Tom's, and Harley and Justin's were in the same hallway as Lyla and Ethan.

"You bet," I smirked and we met up with Harley and Lyla before walking down the stairs. 

While we made some french toast nutella rolls (They're actually so good my sister made them for me), we gossiped about school and weird it was going to be after the wild break we had. 

"Ohhhh! Looks good ladies!" Jay exclaims, still trying to get his shirt on coming down the stairs.

Maddie blushed at the sight and us girls smirked when we saw her staring at his 6 pack.  

"Yes, looking good Meg," Tom says when we comes down the stairs, and it's my turn to blush when I realize he's not looking at the food.

"Oh shut up and bring this to the table, would you?" I huffed playfully, shoving a plate of food into his chest. (Btw I forgot to mention this but Megan's british bc her birth parents were. The accent stays but she's learned to say stuff like 'chip' instead of 'crisp' and stuff like that). 

"Yes mam'" Tom saluted playfully. 

"You've got him wrapped around your finger MegMeg," I turn to see who said that, even though only one person called me that. Ethan. 

I had been given lots of nicknames, the girls, and sometimes Tom would call me Em, everyone except Ethan called me Meg, Tom called me Meegahan because you could also spell Megan like Meghan, and finally, Ethan has called me MegMeg since we met in kindergarten. (Tom had some other nn for me but we're not getting into those). 

"How many times do I have to tell you, stop calling me that!" I grumble, sitting down with the rest of my friends. 

"Might wanna be careful E, I saw a red dot on the calendar yesterday." Tom stage whispers to him. 

I glare at both of them and they put their hands up in surrender. 

"Omg guys! I think we're all synced up!" Harley exclaims. 

"Yay! BFFS!!" The girls and I screech all at once. 

"Are they okay?" Justin says quietly, and the boys shrug. 

The girls fall into a fit of giggles. 

***********************************************

"Okay, girls! Hair and makeup while boys clean up! Let's go!" Lyla commands, and we all kiss our bfs goodbye before running up the stairs to start H & M. (Hair & Makeup). 

"Well we got lucky didn't we boys," Justin smirks as we walk down the stairs to go out the door. 

"We sure did," Tom twirls me and brings me in for a kiss. I turn my head at the last second so he kisses my cheek. I try to run away but his hands wrap around my waist and pull me closer as I squeal. 

Everyone laughs at us but Maddie looks at the time and says, "C'mon! We're gonna be late if we don't go now!" 

"Mads, it's only 7:45, school starts at 8:30," Ethan reasons, but she still wants to get out the door. 

"It takes you 10 minutes to get your bags ready, 15 minutes to walk to school, 10 minutes at your your locker, and 5 minutes to walk to your classroom. That leaves you with 5 minutes to get your books out and get ready for class." Maddie exclaims quickly. 

"She's got a point babe," Lyla agrees, grabbing her bag and starts filling it with her laptop and books. 

"Fineeeee," The boys mumble when the rest of the girls follow suit. 

_____________________________

"That was the most boring day of my life," Tom complains while we walk back into the house after school. 

"Oh suck it up you big baby, we're gonna watch the next Marvel movie now." I tell him, "What's next... of right! Black Widow!" 

Hey guys! I've been trying to get this chapter out for so long, but I kept asking myself if something big should happen, or if they should just live a normal life for once. Obviously I decided that option 2 would be best. 

Sorry about all the pics, that honestly took up most of the time writing this lol. 

Btw, NONE OF THE PICS I USE IN THE BOOK ARE MINE, SO DON'T COME AT ME PLZ.
