8:30 pm; I got ready for my sleepover at Clauida's. I packed my sleeping bag,my chips and can of soda. Clauida's mom detest junk food in her house but I've got a plan to sneak my chips in without her knowing. Full season of Mia's vision, tissue for crying and lastly Mr Snuggles,my teddy bear. I never leave home with him. I carried my bag to the living room and gave Coco a nice snuggle and waited for Owen to come downstairs. It took him ages for him to come downstairs.
"Are you ready?"Owen asked, staring at his cellphone
"Yes"I replied
"Okay, have fun then"Owen said
"I will. Bye Coco"I waved goodbye at her
I kind of left bad for leaving Coco all alone with Owen and his friends but it's just for the weekend. Clauida's house wasn't't far from mine. It was only a block away from mine. I opened the gate, stood at the front porch like a scardy-cat and rang the doorbell. I rang it twice till I heard the someone unlocking the door.
"Oh! It's you"Mrs Jones said, displeased to see me
"Good evening Mrs Jones,is Claudia home?"I asked
"Yes, she is. Come in"Mrs Jones said
"Okay"I replied, entering the living room
"Stay here while I will go call her"Mrs Jones instructed
"Okay"I replied
I sat down on the white leather chair, watching an auto-mechanic commercial on their new L.G TV. Claudia ran downstairs and was happy to see me.
"Jocelyn, you're here"Claudia said
"For a minute there,I thought you won't show up"Claudia expressed
"I had to finish a few chores at before I come"I replied
"C'mon, let's go to my room"Claudia said
"Okay"I replied, carrying my bag
We were only a few stairs to her bedroom door when her mom said
"Make sure you girls don't stay up too late"
"Okay,we won't"We replied, giggling
Claudia opened her bedroom door and we both walked in. Her bedroom was fantastic. From the daisy tulip wallpaper,grey wardrobe,coat rack, organized bookshelf and desk, a baseball jersey, a baseball protected in a glass case signed by a famous baseball player and a whole collection of Archie comics. I never knew Claudia was into comics.
"This is my room. Make yourself comfortable. The bathroom is over there in case you need to freshen up"she pointed
"Wow! You're room is amazing! Even better than mine"I complimented
"Thanks! My mom hates a messy bedroom. She says it's disturbs my reading and make me disorganized"Claudia replied
"I'll be kitchen if you need me"Claudia added and left
I set my sleeping bag next to her bed. The snacks, movie, tissues were already in place. I changed into my PJs and waited for Clauida to return so that we can get this sleepover started. Claudia returned with a glass of water in her hands. We kept the laptop on Claudia's bed, watching the movie, enjoying a bowl filled with chips and sodas in our hands. We barely made it through the two seasons and bursted into tears.
"Ah! What a movie!"Claudia said, cleaning her tears with a tissue
"Yes,we made it through all six seasons and it's 2 am "I said, checking my cellphone and yawning
"It still can't believe Mia married Kelvin to save Adrian"Claudia said, keeping the laptop on her desk
"That's life. Sometimes we think we own our future but life has it's way of showing what's best for us"I explained, getting comfortable in my sleeping bag
"Yeah, life is full of unexplainable mysteries"Claudia said, changing into her PJs in the bathroom
"By the way,I had trouble getting the materials needed for our history assignment earlier today"I revealed
"How come?"Claudia asked
"Coco ran away from her leash while I was carrying the groceries. She almost got lost but thankfully, Xavier was there to save her"I replied
"Wait? What! You mean you met Xavier? The Xavier Martinez?"Claudia said
"Yes,is there anything wrong?"I asked
"You and I know that Xavier is Brianna's boyfriend"Claudia reminded
"Would be"I added
"Also, he's a playboy. A certified one at that"Claudia said
"I know but he's a really nice person. He even offered to walk me to my house and also carried the groceries"I added
"He did what?"Claudia said
"It's no big deal. It is not like I've fallen for him or something"I said, laying my head on the pillow Clauida lent me
"Have you?"Claudia said
"No..."I denied without looking at her
"Okay if you say so. But remember,once a playboy, always a playboy"Claudia added
"Good night"Claudia said, turning off the lamp
"Night"I replied,a bit disappointed
Maybe Claudia is right. Xavier is a playboy. A playboy will always be a playboy,I suppose.
