Reunited

Chapter 15

{Song in video: A Day To Remember - All I Want}

Lainey got up out of bed and quickly got ready for school. She was happier than usual because last night she called the café to book a spot and they agreed to it. She couldn't wait to tell Nick and Shayla the news.

She went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. After she got out and dried herself, she put on a black tank top and a blue flannel shirt over it. She also put on black skinny jeans and black converse. She looked at herself in the mirror. "Hmmm...makeup or no makeup?" she asked herself. She stared at her makeup kit for the longest time and decided to put on foundation, black eyeliner, and pink lipstick.

She went downstairs and went to the kitchen. Lynn was cooking bacon and had cinnamon rolls baking in the oven.

"Hey sis!" Lainey exclaimed giddily and gave her a hug.

"Hey," Lynn said and chuckled, hugging her back. She gave her a curious look and raised her eyebrows. "You seem unusually happy today."

"I am! Remember I told you that me, Nick, and Shayla are starting a band?"

"Yes..."

"Well I called up the café last night and they booked us for next week!" She practically jumped and down.

"Really? That's great! Do Nick and Shayla know?"

"Not yet but that's why I'm rushing to school so I can tell them the good news!"

"Wow never heard rushing, school, and good news in the same sentence." She laughed softly.

"I know right? I haven't either; I'm surprised I used those words in the same sentence myself."

"The bacon is now ready." She put the sizzling pieces of bacon onto a plate. The beeper for the oven went off soon after she set the bacon down. "And it looks like the cinnamon rolls are ready too."

Lainey got a plate and put 3 pieces of bacon and 2 pieces of cinnamon rolls onto her plate. She took a bite out of the bacon. "Mmm I love bacon so much!" she exclaimed with her mouth full. She sat down at the table.

"Me too which is why I made it." She took a few bites of the bacon.

"This cinnamon roll is the bomb by the way."

"Why thank you."

They continued to eat their breakfast for the next few minutes. After Lainey was done, she put the plate in the dishwasher and got her backpack to leave for school.

"Hey before you go, you can take some of these cinnamon rolls to Nick and Shayla. We have plenty of them," Lynn said.

"Oh yeah they would like that, especially after I tell them the news," Lainey said and grinned. She took some of the cinnamon rolls and put it in a container. "Bye Lynn! See you later." She waved and walked outside to the car.

She plugged in her iPod, turned it on, and played "All I Want" by A Day To Remember. She sang along to the song while she drove to school. A few minutes later, she parked in the school's parking lot and got out. She quickly went inside the main building and went in the hallway so she could wait for her friends. She looked around and didn't see them yet. She looked at her phone to check the time. No wonder they're not here yet, it's still a little early. She thought to herself. In the meantime, she put in her earbuds and listened to music on her iPod. A few minutes later, she saw Nick and Shayla walking toward her. She put her iPod away and exclaimed, "Hey!" She waved at them eagerly.

"Hey...what's with you?" Shayla said, noticing Lainey is more enthusiastic than usual.

"I've got some news!"
