buttery treat into a large yellow plastic bowl.
"I brought popcorn," I shouted as I opened the door, "And drinks!" I held up the bottles of water. Then I heard Sebastian speaking and looked at the screen. "I can't believe that you didn't wait for me." I put the popcorn and water down before running over to Victoria's bed, tackling and tickling her.
"I'm sorry," she laughed out loudly. "Stop please, I'm sorry." She laughed. I let her go with a laugh and pulled the popcorn bowl onto the bed with us. We sat eating as we watched Ariel try to get Eric to kiss her, and Ursula tried to seduce him away.
When I woke up it was pitch black in Victoria's room. I sat up and looked down at Victoria's sleeping form next to me. I didn't remember turning off the movie or the TV, and I sure as heck don't know what happened to the popcorn bowl. Deciding to not worry about it, I got up and headed to my room. A few hours later I felt a shift of my bed and jerked my head up.
"Wake up, wake up, wake up," Victoria was bouncing next to me. I laughed and grabbed her, pulling her down onto the bed and tickling her.
"You go brush your teeth and I will meet you at the top of the steps in five minutes. Okay?"
She nodded and ran out of the room. My bladder was begging for relief, so I went to my bathroom. Once that was taken care of I washed my hands and then my face. As I patted my face dry I looked into the mirror.
My skin looked drastically pale and I hoped it was just the harsh bright light of the bathroom's vanity. I leaned in closer and examined my face. No new breakouts, just the same pale skin, blue eyes, and long dark brown hair. I huffed and tossed my hand towel next to the sink. Most people complain about how unattractive they are; however, I didn't think of myself as unattractive, just common.
"Sophia, are you ready yet?"
With one last sigh at my reflection, I shut off the bathroom light and went to meet Victoria at the top of the steps.
In the kitchen we had music playing while Victoria mixed the pancake mix and I finished the bacon. We were both singing and laughing when I heard someone walk into the kitchen. Quickly I turned around, sighing in relief when I saw Mrs. Baker standing there with a wide smile on her face.
"Good morning lovelies," she smiled.
"Good morning Mrs. Baker," Victoria and I said in unison. She laughed.
"Did you wash her uniform yesterday?"
I felt Victoria tense up. I put my hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah, I had to wash some things for myself, so I just threw it in. You don't mind do you?"
"Heck no!" She chuckled. "I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a uniform."
"You hungry?" I motioned to the bacon on the plate in front of me. "We have plenty." I practically sang it out.
"Oh, I really shouldn't, I have a lot of…"
"Oh, come on." I grabbed an empty plate and placed it on the counter.
"Okay," Mrs. Baker smiled and sat down. "Are you making the pancakes Victoria?"
"Yep!" She smiled brightly at Mrs. Baker. "It took two cups of mix, one egg, one tablespoon of oil, and one cup of milk."
"Good remembering," I patted her butt lightly. "I think it's all mixed up. I need to get those on the griddle." I pulled at my hair to get it away from my face.
"Let me help you with that." Mrs. Baker took my hair into her hands and twisted it into a knot.
"Thank you," I breathed out and picked up the bowl to start pouring the batter out into even circles.
"No problem," she waved off my thanks. "I remember when I was younger and my hair was long like yours."
I glanced to her with a small smile as she reminisced.
"Of course, my hair was never that straight or soft. Have you ever died it or anything?"
"I thought about it. You know like highlights or something. I even considered getting one of those chin length bobs at one point." I shrugged.
"Don't you dare," Mrs. Baker scolded with a chuckle. "Your hair is gorgeous and it's perfect on you. That dark brown hair really making those baby blues stand out, and the
