Notice me

Sienna's POV

Currently, I sit on the carpet in Cheryl's living room. We are waiting for the boys to arrive so we can start on the project.

She speaks up. "I hate when people are late." She plays with the end of the blanket.

I check the time. They are late for 10 minutes now.

Speaking of the devil there is a ring on the doorbell. Cheryl throws her hands in the air. "Finally!" She stands up and goes to open the door for them.

"Shoes off!"

I smile.

Not even a minute passes and they are in the living room. Cheryl trailing right behind them.

Dom looks guilty. "Sorry, last second we agreed we would bring some snacks while we work, and also as thank you we can be at your house." He looks at Cheryl and sets the bag on the floor.

Kane adds. "We got caught in traffic too."

I look at my best friend who shakes her head and motions for them to sit. "It's okay. Let's get started."

And we do.

Surprisingly we got so much information... slightly too much. I'm talking about 'we might not use all of it' much.

Yeah... Enough with 'much'.

And it only took us 2 hours in total. Teamwork makes dream work.

Dom suddenly sits up from his laying position. "I have the best idea!"

Cheryl and I only watch while Kane mumbles softly 'oh no'.

"We could interview some drug dealer or drug addict!"

We only stare at him until I finally speak up. "Is the great idea in the room with us?"

Dom only rolls his eyes and explains himself. "Okay, okay it may sound crazy,--"

Kane cuts him off, "idiotic I did say."

Dom huffs but continues, "but everyone will only have sources from Wikipedia or other sites. Do you know how cool it would be to have a view from someone who gets or was going through that?! We could get extra credit."

Cheryl voices my thoughts. "There are a bunch of videos of people interviewing drug addicts. That's a much safer idea and has the same outcome."

"No!" Dom throws his head back in frustration. "A lot of videos like that adjust the responses of the person so it would remain still bad but had some sugarcoat on it."

"It's dangerous." I frown.

"How do ya know?" Dom shots back.

It's common sense bitch. Duh.

Cheryl is fast to stop whatever is going on. "No arguing! It is undoubtedly risky and stupid! We can use videos to satisfy you." She points a finger at Dom. "But nothing else. It's only a school project. Did I make myself clear?"

He sighs and nods. "I just wanted to have something different than others."

Kane throws his opinion in there too. "It is not worth it."

It certainly is not.

Extra credit would do me justice tho. I frown. No, that's how characters die in movies.

Kane clasps his hand together. "It's time for a well-deserved break," he suggests and stands up. The rest of us followed him into the kitchen.

Cheryl taps her chin with her index finger. "I'm not in the mood of calling hot firemen. Wanna order something?"
