Pancakes and Coke

KALEBS P.O.V

I had just woken up but my eyes were still closed. I can feel my dog in between my legs and can hear Berry snoring like a grizzly bear, Layne was still asleep. I had another nightmare last night and this time it was about Sigma killing Layne right in front of me.

I got out of bed and went to the coffee pot to make some coffee, my dog followed. I love morning coffee and so does Layne.

Our room was a little small but it fit us perfect. Layne should have made Berry sleep on the floor but he was in a weird mood yesterday.

Ten minutes later the coffee pot makes a beeping noise and it wakes up Layne, he pulls his head from his pillow.

"Is that coffee?" He said with a groggy sleepy-like tone.

I get up and walk past him.

"Sure is, get it while its fresh." I say and walk into the small little kitchen area we had, and make me a cup of coffee.

Then Berry wakes up, he had slobber all over his face.

"What's for breakfast I'm hungry, and I could really go for some donuts." he said whike wiping the slobber from his face then he turns to me. "Put a shirt on dude," He said turning back around. As if I was some porn model.

I look over and laugh. "Hey don't be jealous, not everyone can look like this."

Then Layne stands up. "Luckily I'm not one of those 'everyone' "

I laugh then walk back to my bed. Then Berry gets up and goes to the bathroom.

"Wow this is some good coffee!" Layne said sipping his coffee.

I take another drink. "That's because I made it."

Then Berry walks out of the bathroom a few minutes later. "No, really guys do you know whats for breakfast?"

Layne throws a apple that was on the counter at Berry. "Here eat this!"

Beryy jumps out of the way, dodging it. "I'm sleeping with Jane and Jim tonight I don't like you guys".

I think he went a little to far but I still chuckle at that. "Fine with me," then I look to Layne. His face was all red from blushng, not from the heat of his coffee.

"Me too," Layne finally says, setting down his coffee cup.

Berry grabs his stuff and walks to the door but before he could open it Jane walked in hitting Berry right in the face.

"Co-" she looks down at Berry. "S-Sorry!"

Me and Layne start to laugh once again.

"Yeah you should be. My face was already messed up from Kalebs window and now this!" Berry starts rubbing his face, as if remembering a every detail of slamming into my poor window.

She didn't say anything else to Berry but she did say, "Get ready we are gonna go get breakfast."

Berry suddenly jumped up from the floor. "Oh yay! And by the way is it alright if I bunk with you and your dad? These guys give me the creeps,"

Jane looked back at Berry, confused. "Yeah sure,"

Then Layne asked, "When do we leave?"

She looked at Layne like she was still mad at him, if I was in her skirt, I wouldn't blame her, what Layne did was unbelievably scary! "In fifteen minutes," then walks out of the door with Berry following behind her.

Layne looks over at me. "She can't seriously still be mad at me. can she?"

"Honestly dude, I don't know, girls are weird." I replied. I wanted to add something about nerd chicks, and how much goth's are such crybabys but I didn't wanna go that far... I wonder if Jane use to be goth.

Layne just sighs then walks over to his bag and gets a change of clothes.

I walk over to my bag as well and pull out some clothes, then open the blinds letting in a worm ray of sun light.

Swhen Layne changes, he comes out wearing some black jeans with a 49er shirt and some nice black Nikes. The style was for someone who lives in San Francisco. I wore black cargo shorts and a white T-shirt and some black Vans.

I poured some food into my dogs food bowl, then me and Layne meet everyone down in the hallway.

"Finally," Jim says getting ready to walk away. But we all utridly follow him feeling very awkward. Especially me.

The hallway was long and the walls were painted white but they needed cleaned. Me, Jane and Layne walked behind Jim and Berry. I was in between Layne and Jane, and I could feel the tension between them.

When we got to the elevator Jim pushed the first floor. We were staying on the third floor. When we got inside the elevator it reminded me of when I was first learning how to electric travel. Remembering how I melted the first-floor button.

Layne and Jane were standing next to each other now. I saw Layne go for Jane's hand but she moved away from him making things way more weird then they already were. Poor guy, I wish I knew more things about girls. I would help him out if I did.

We reached the first floor and the lobby had a cozy feeling to it. Two couches on the far left side by the big window and some single seats more towards the middle. There was a different person working then who was there last night .

"Have a good day," the women said.

Jim smiles "You too!"

We parked in the parking garage. There wasn't many cars inside but I guess that was a good thing because that meant we got to park close and didn't have to walk far.

When we got to the car Berry sat up front. Jane, Layne and I in the back.

Jane sat in the middle and Layne on the left of her, me on the right.

It took us about twenty minutes to get to a small hole in the wall diner named Classic Cooks Kitchen. The name was actually pretty catchy. Inside it wasn't too big but the smell in side reminded me of a Sunday morning feast that we would sometimes have at my house.

We got seated immediately. We sat in a booth that went around in a circle next to a window.

Me and Layne both got Coke to drink and Berry, Jane and Jim got hot chocolate. And to eat we all got a fat stack of pancakes.

When we were finished Jim asked us, "So how was it kids?"

"Amazing! Best breakfast ever," I say and everyone one else nods.

While Jim was paying I saw Layne pull Jane to the side I wish I could hear what they were saying but they were too far. It looked like it was going good.

Then Berry comes up to me. "Hey you trying to listen in on them?"

"Yeah but I can't hear, so shut up." I say back. I was worried if Layne came with back, so would the crazy raccoon.

"Well, if she slaps him again that means its going bad and if she doesn't its going good."

Then Jim called us over to the table with an irritated tone. We walked back to the table and Layne walked out of the diner. Slaminng the door closed behind him, a sign that I knew things didn't go well.

* * *

We got back in the truck and hopped back in our spots.

"So where to now kids?" Jim asks .

Me and Layne look at each other and frowned, remembering the memory's we had the last time the Enegrizers went there. I don't know if the name "Energizers" is gonna stick to us very long. I always forget we called ourselves that.

"Alcatraz."
