Part One: Is This Really Necessary?

Hey! If you're reading this then that means that you are alive and capable of reading (which is great) and it also means I psyched myself up to actually post this so... That's cool. Hope you enjoy and please comment and give me feedback. K, let's start the story shall we?

"Maia...Maia!!!....MAIA!!!!!"

"Huh?... Wha-", I slurred right before rolling off of my bed and falling to the floor. I groaned in both annoyance and pain as I groggily got up and checked the time. 8:00am my phone screen read while one of my best friends, Angeles, laughed at my fall from the other side of my bed.

"What reason could you possibly have for waking me up at this hour on a Saturday?!", I griped as I sat back down on my bed laying down to try and fall back into the ever welcoming embrace of slumber.

"Oh no you don't!", Angeles protested as she yanked my blanket away while deciding to bounce on my bed. "Get up, it's a beautiful day and you,me, and Eli are gonna make the most of it!" , she says while still jumping.

I stretch my leg as far as my 5"2 body would allow and tripped her so she'd stop but I miscalculated and she ended falling on me... Not my best plan.

"I really hate you sometimes, you know that right?", I sigh as I begin to fully wake up realizing that sleep was no longer an option.

"You love me. Now get up and get ready... Unless of course you'd rather help your mama clean the house inste-", before the last word was even out of her mouth I was up and headed to the bathroom to get ready. No way was I about to fall victim to Saturday cleaning to tejano music.

I brush my teeth and attempt to brush my forever messy hair. I end just putting it in two french braids and heading back to my room to find Angeles still on my bed scrolling through her phone. I put on some black leggings with a white t-shirt and a denim jacket over that and finally black low top converse. I put on makeup so I don't look completely dead and walk up and jump so I'm laying across Angeles in an X formation on my bed.

"Uff, is this really necessary??? You're heavy!", "This is for waking me up and bouncing on my bed you wench!" "Jerk."
"Sleep stealer."
"Snake."
"Skunk."
"That doesn't even ma-"
BEEP, BEEP
"There's Eli." , we say in unison. We get up from my bed and make our way out. We pass by my mom in the kitchen mopping and my dad at the table making masa for tortillas.

"Bye mama, bye dad. I'll see you guys later!" , I tell them as I kiss them both in the cheek.

"Have fun Mija and text us once in a while to check in, okay?", my dad reminded as my mom talked to Angeles saying, "Come for dinner this week, you haven't done that in awhile, okay?", "Yes ma'am will." ,she replies as I assure my dad I'll check in later. We leave the house to see Eli in his Jeep waiting for us.

"It's about time. I thought graduation would come and go before you both got here.", He says dramatically as we approach the car.

"Haha give it up for the comedian everybody.", Angeles says dryly as we get in. She sits up front and I sit behind her. We always sit this way, not for any reason it's just what works.

"So what are we doing on this beautiful November day?", Eli asked as we pulled off. I have to admit for it being November in Texas the weather was pretty great. The sun was shining but the breeze was brisk , we don't get a lot of nice weather...well ever so we take advantage when opportunity arises.

"Whatever we do can it start with breakfast??? I was just assaulted out of my sleep in my own home and I think pancakes could really provide some much needed comfort." , I inquire as my stomach grumbles.

"Breakfast it is!!!", Angeles cheered. We continued to drive and talk while music played on the radio. There's almost no where else I'd rather be.
