Chapter 6:Pancakes,Rain and Packing


"Wake up, Wake up." I heard someone shout at me and then started shaking my shoulders.

"Five more minutes please." I groaned as I tried to cover my head with a blanket.

"Wake up Sleeping Beauty, it's 1 p.m. Come on, don't make me pour a basket of cold water over you. Please, I'll make pancakes with nutella and ice cream. Just the way you love them."

"I'm up, I'm up." I said as I jumped up and tripped over the blankets and landed on the ground with a loud thud.

As I started to slowly get up, worrying that I might break something, I heard Drew's laughter.

She was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her face and she was clutching her stomach as she was gasping for air.

"That's why I call you Clumsy." She breathed out between laughs.

"Is my suffering that amusing to you?" I asked her while shooting her a glare.

"Yes." She answered without hesitation.

I groaned.

"When did you get up?"

"Not to while ago, maybe 20 minutes ago."

"Okay. So how about those pancakes?" I asked with a grin.

She just laughed at me and started picking up the bags of chips and other snacks from last night.

"Your sleep is so peaceful that even the thunder or ragging storm can't wake you up. But just mention anything food related and you're up." Drew said with a shake of her head.

I just shrugged. "Well, what can I say? I love food and so do you so give me a break." I said to her as I left the room.

We made our way to the kitchen to throw the garbage from last night.

We left the kitchen and went to the living room where Drew sat on one of the couches and turned the TV on. I opened the curtains to look through the window and was meet with black clouds which were illuminating the sky. I also noticed medium wind that made trees dance.

"Wow, it looks like it's gonna rain all day." I said to Drew as she sat up and came closer to me and peaked through the window.

She nodded to me. "Yes, apparently there's some storm coming or something like that. And this medium wind is only the beginning; it's supposed to be ten times stronger." She gestured towards the TV which was on Weather Forecast channel.

"Well, there goes our trip to the zoo." I said disappointed.

"There's no need for the zoo. I'm looking at a hippo right now." She said with a laugh.

"You little elf." I said with a smirk.

"I'll show you who's a little elf." She said as she went to the couches and picked up the pillows which she threw at me.

I quickly dogged them."Missed me. And please don't throw things in the house."

"You should've thought about that before you called me an elf Clumsy." Drew said as she threw more pillows at me.

"Okay, okay I give up. Please stop." I pleaded after it became impossible to avoid her attacks. She threw another pillow at me and I was too tired to avoid it so it hit me in the face. I whined. "Please."

"Are you gonna call me little elf again anytime soon?" She asked with a raised eyebrow and smirk.

"No, no I won't. Can we make pancakes now? It's not like we can go anywhere at this weather." I said to her as I pointed to the windows. The rain still hasn't started but the wind was far from the medium now.

"You're right. Let's go to the kitchen, and please can you try not to burn the house down." Drew asked with a grin.

"If I didn't do it the last time I hardly think I would do it now. Besides, it's only pancakes not nuclear science." I answered her question feeling slightly offended.

"There's only two things on this world that scare the hell out of me. You cooking and you driving. Why God, why? You must really hate me if you made her my best friend. She is going to be the death for me." Drew said dramatically.

"Shut up Drama Queen. And let's make those damn pancakes."

We ended up making ten pancakes for me and ten for her.

The kitchen was, to put it lightly, a mess. There was flour everywhere.

"We have to clean this up." I said to Drew as I put my plate in the washing machine along with hers.

"Okay." Drew replied.

Before we started cleaning the kitchen I opened up the window because I was boiling.

I was still wearing my cotton dress from last night with some white socks.

I was instantly relaxed, the cool air really helped me.

When we were done cleaning up the mess I noticed the first teardrops of rain.

I quickly closed the window and in the matter of seconds the rain was pouring.

"I wouldn't want to be outside right now." Drew said from behind me.

"Yeah. Anyway I was thinking since we can't do much trapped in the house, do you want to help me pack? I know you said we should wait but I really like to have everything ready and I could really use your help. Otherwise I would pack my entire closet. Plus, we don't have anything else to do, so what do you say?" I asked Drew with hopeful eyes.

She groaned a little then let out a sigh."Fine. But only because otherwise you would literally pack an entire closet."

"Yes, exactly. Thank you."

"You will thank me later. Now let's get you packed Clumsy." Drew said as we made our way to my room.

When we entered my room I went to the closet to take my suitcase, I opened it and started packing.

It was easy to pack my essentials,aka underwear and some socks.

"You said that your aunt lives in a small town in Alaska, right?" She asked and I nodded."Well then, I would say some jeans and leggings with some sweaters since it's,you know, very cold there."

"Okay then."I said as I went to my closet and grabbed two pairs of jeans, one black and one dark blue, two black leggings and a pair of light grey sweatpants which I put on my bed for Drew to pack.

The next one's was shirts so I picked up a black long sleeved shirt with the word 'LOVE' written on it with white letters, a grey thin sweater with a smiley face on it, one dark blue T-shirt with the words 'You must try' written on it with white letters and one black T-shirt with the monkey emoji faces on it.

"Should I pack some dresses too?" I asked Drew.

"Well it's wedding so duh." She answered while I went to my closet again to choose dresses.

"I don't think that they all gonna fit in this suitcase." Drew said from behind me as I turned and looked in her direction to see what she was talking about.

"You're right." 

"But there's still some space left in it. You can put your white sneakers and black flats." Drew suggested.

"Not a bad idea. Thanks Little Red."I said as I started looking for my sneakers and flats in the boxes that were at the bottom of the closet. When I found them I went back to Drew and handed them to her.

"You're welcome Clumsy. Why don't you continue your search for the dresses while I pack this suitcase?" She asked and I nodded.

I went to my closet again and took out another suitcase which I opened and put on the floor.

When I was happy with my choice of dresses I started packing them, I decided on five dresses.

First was an emerald green dress that had a light lace flowers over it and the shoulders had an ordinary lace over them. The dress was reaching my knees and it was sleeveless.

The second one was a dark green dress that was a little puffy from the waist down and it reached a little above knees. This dress had long sleeves.

Third one was a long sleeved dark blue dress; it was puffy from the waist down and reached knees.

The fourth one was a black dress, it was a little puffy from the waist down and the sleeves were laced.

Fifth one was a peach colored dress, it was sleeveless and reached a little above knees. I also packed my black blazer which I know would go perfect with that dress.

"I packed the dresses but, again, there is some leftover space." I told Drew.

"Let me see." Drew said as she made her way towards me. She looked at the suitcase and started thinking.

I couldn't think of anything else to pack so I just let her think about it.

"I know."She said suddenly. "You can also pack your cosmetics and  jewelry. Oh yes, and you can also pack those two cute pairs of black boots you recently bought. You know the one's with a small heel."

"You're right. Thanks Drew you're a life savior." I said as I hugged her.

"No problem Lex. And yes, I always thought that was my entire purpose of being born." Drew said when we broke our hug.

"Yeah. Too bad you don't have any super powers." I said feeling a little disappointment.

"Yeah. No super powers hahaha." She said as she laughed nervously.

"Should I pack more clothes?" I asked her feeling unsure if the clothes I packed was enough.

Drew rolled her eyes at me. "You're not gonna move there,we're just going for the wedding. Jeez,it's a good thing I agreed on this otherwise you would really pack your entire closet."

I pouted a little but then get a brilliant idea. "Hey. Since we're done here can we also pack you? Come on. Pretty please?" I asked her as I made my puppy-dog eyes.

"That doesn't work on me. And the answer is NO!"

"Pretty please with two cups of chocolate ice cream?"

"No."

"Pretty please with two cups of chocolate ice cream and two boxes of oreos?"

"The one's with a black chocolate dipping?"

"Yes."

"No."

I groaned at her stubbornness. "Pretty please with two cups of chocolate ice cream, two boxes of oreos and two large McDonald's chocolate milkshakes."

"Deal. Now let's pack me." She said determined and in a blink of an eye sprinted in her room.

By the time I entered her room two suitcases were already on the bed and she was impatiently waiting for me with her arms crossed.

"Well come on Clumsy. We don't have all day. Actually, I guess we do but that's not the point. Come here and help me!" She commanded while I just stood there amused by her suddenly change of behavior.

"Yes madam." I saluted at her once I regained my posture.

As I started to made my way towards her she throw three shirts and two pairs of black jeans at me and shouted:"I'm gonna get you stuff and you will pack! Start with these."

"Why can't I help you looking?" I asked her as I sat on her bed and opened first suitcase.

"Because I don't need your crappy taste anywhere near me. Now shut up and start packing."

"Bossy." I whispered to myself.

"What?!" Drew shouted.

"I'm packing."I shouted back.

I packed her black jeans and started packing her shirts.

First one was a thin grey sweater with the word 'Athena' written in black letters and a cute little owl on it; the second one was a black sweater with the moon phrases on it and the words 'Stay Wild Moon Child' written in white words and the third one was a thin orange sweater with the words 'Camp-Half Blood' written in black letters and had a pegasus on it.

I smiled at her obsession with Percy Jackson. I didn't even know who the hell that is till a little while ago when she borrowed me the first book 'The Lightning Thief'.

I was instantly in love.

I remember that for a while all I could think about was Percy Jackson and Greek Gods. I read the first and also the second book series, both of these series contained six books. I was just recently finished with reading the first book of 'The Trials of Apollo' series and was waiting for the second one.

I also read 'Kane Chronicles' from the same author but about Egyptian Gods. The books were amazing but author was, how the fans named him, troll.

"Pack this also."Drew shouted at me driving me out of my thoughts and threw more clothes at me.

"Okay." I said as I picked up the clothes and starting packing it.

I packed her a grey sweatpants, black leggings, dark blue jeans and a pair of black sneakers with black flats.

"This suitcase is almost full. Give me some socks and underwear and we're done with this one." I said to Drew.

"Okay. Catch." She said as she threw the rest of her clothes at me.

"Would it kill you to hand it over nicely?" I asked her once I picked up the clothes and packed it in the suitcase.

"Yes, it would. Now we're gonna pack some dresses for me too. So be ready to catch." She shouted and I groaned. She turned her back on me and started searching through her closet.

"Do I look like a frickin dog to you?" I asked her feeling a little annoyed.

"Yeah you do." She answered without even bothering to turn around.

I rolled my eyes and closed the first suitcase.

I opened the second suitcase and started packing two dresses Drew already throw at me.

First was a black laced dress that had long sleeves and was a bit shorter than mine. It was a little puffy from the waist down.

The second one was also a black dress but the skirt from the waist down was a dark red color and it was puffy. This dress also had long sleeves and by the looks of it, was reaching knees.

When I finished packing her dresses and started thinking that finally we are done she threw two more dresses at me.

I sighed and packed the third dress which I was familiar with since Drew enjoyed wearing it oftenly. It was a color of the sea and it was really beautiful, especially since it made Drew eyes sparkle. The dress was a little shorter than the others and it had long sleeves.

Fourth dress was a blood red dress that had long sleeves and it was puffy from the waist down. This dress length was reaching knees.

"Should I pack more sweaters or not? I mean, we are going to Alaska anyway. And also, why did you packed only two sweaters?" Drew asked with a frown on her face as she sat opposite of me on the bed.

"Because aunt Liz said not to pack up more than two or three sweaters since she has a whole bunch that she's not wearing. Or they're not her size. I think that three sweaters are enough." I said to Drew. "But we should probably pack some T-shirts and jackets along with some shorts and skirts in case weather gets better. Ugh, I knew I forgot something. Never mind. I'm just gonna pack them in my duffle bag. You can pack yours in a duffle bag too, in case you don't have enough space in the suitcase."

She looked at the suitcase for a couple of seconds before she went to her closet again.

"I'm also gonna pack my pair of black boots. But only one pair has a heel since, you're know, I'm not the fan of heels." Drew said while searching through her closet.

"Okay then. Hey, you can also put your cosmetics in it." I said.

"I know that Captain Obvious." Drew said not taking her eyes of her closet.

"Jeez, I'm just trying to help." I said as I threw my hands in the air.

"I'm not you. So I don't need help." She simply said.

"Well thanks a lot. That lift my spirits up for sure." I said sarcastically.

"Anytime Clumsy." She said with a chuckle.

I just ignored her.

"So then you're going to pack the rest in your duffle bag?" I asked while she turned around and nodded. "Okay then. Since I'm genuinely a nice person I will help you pack the rest of your belongings despite your, well, personality." I said as she gave me an unimpressed look.

"I appreciate the compliment. And thank you my genuinely nice friend." She said with a smirk while I rolled my eyes."Aren't you supposed to look for more clothes to pack?" I asked her.

"Right. On it." She said as she turned around and started searching her closet again.

"And then I'm the forgetful one." I whispered.

"What?" Drew asked me.

"Nothing." I answered.

The rest of the day we spent on packing necessary essentials and stuff like scarves or gloves because according to Drew she is not going to Alaska without these in case there's a snow storm or something like that.

And then I'm the one who exaggerates.

On the other hand, it wouldn't hurt to be prepared.

So for the rest of the day we were packing up for the road trip.

We decided that there's no need for us to go to the supermarket to buy snacks for the trip since kitchen was full of them. And we're going to make some pastries too, just in case we need some actual food. Drew liked to take care of our eating routines and wanted to keep us healthy, so a little while ago she got this idea that at the end of every meal we had to eat at least one fruit per our choice.

 We agreed that we're going to change for every couple of hours, meaning I'm going to drive first, then Drew, then me again and that circle continues until we get there.

When we were done with packing we went to my home cinema and eat some apples that Drew got for us when she was in the kitchen while watching 'Deadpool' and slowly drifted to dream land.
