Friendship

DAWN'S POV

"Dawn, are you almost done now?", Chris' voice boomed from across my room, asking for the umpteenth time if I was ready

And I answered also for the umpteenth, "no almost, just five more minutes". I said as I wore my black boots, to match my black shirt jacket, pants and bag, checking myself out in the mirror

"That's what you said the last 'I don't know how many' times, and it's more than 30 minutes now", he said as soon as I opened the door, "and besides, I don't even know why we should go when it's just Daniel's idea"

"Oh come on, don't be a chicken", I said while dragging him down the stairs

"Are you guys on your way already?", Aunt Laura asked when she saw us in the living room,

I nodded, "yeah, but someone's being a goose", I said, glancing at Chris

Aunt Laura smiled, "don't be hard on him, dear. I'm going out too myself, I'll ask Peter to drive me"

"NO!!!"

I looked around at their surprised faces, realizing that I shouted out loud

"I-I mean no, ask any other driver but Peter. Not just Peter, not him", I said trying to talk normally and calmly, even if I was feeling anything but calm

"Okay", aunt Laura said dragging the word, "I'll just ask someone else then, bye", she said, before going back to her room

There was an awkward silence in the car, like the last time we had an argument, that was like two months ago.

Chris was holding the steering wheel with a hard grip, his knuckles were turning white

I know he wanted answers, but I cannot tell him, and I don't want us to remain like this, so I tried to change the topic, when my phone rang

I looked at the caller's ID, it was Daniel, so I picked the call, and put it on speaker

"Hey sunshine, are you guys on your way?", his cheerful voice immediately filled the atmosphere, although there was a lot of noise at the background

I laughed at his way of calling me, I like it "yeah, we are, there's just a little problem here"

"Oh, what is it?", he asked obviously trying to hide his laugh, but not in any way near to calming the boiling human driving, instead only fueling the fire

I looked at Chris, that was still keeping quiet, although the frown on his face betrayed his action, "he's behaving like a chicken"

And that was the straw that broke the camel's back

"How am I a chicken?, if only it makes sense for me to jump from an airplane, or to ride a fast running bike, or whatever you have in mind to do, then I'll agree with you guys on this suicide mission"

"Oh my gosh, Daniel, we need to facetime", I told the laughing homo sapiens who I'm sure is literally rolling on the floor

I held the phone before his jolly face appeared on the screen

"Daniel, can you see imagine what? He's accusing me of what I did not say, that's slander", I said complaining to Daniel who I was already seeing as my older brother, "what I said was 'he's behaving like a chicken', not 'he's a chicken', so please don't misquote me"

"Yeah, you heard her. Don't be..., oh sorry, I mean don't act like a sissy ", my co partner in crime aka Daniel as usual, supported me

"I really don't wanna talk to some babies", Chris said obviously losing

"Sunshine, can you please buy some nerves calming drugs for him, seems like he's gonna need it when he sees us jump from a cliff", Daniel said, making me stifle my laughter

I burst out laughing when I couldn't hold it anymore, "yeah, no problem about that

Few minutes later, we reached the place. We got down from the car, and I was kinda surprised to see how everywhere was so bubbly, even though it was evening time.

"Great, we're here, and now we're lost", Chris grumbled, still sulking about the 'being called a chicken ' issue.

"Chris, really?", I said as I pulled my phone out of my denim jacket to call Daniel, before we saw him waving and running towards us

"I'm sorry guys, something held me up", Daniel said, running out of breath

I put my hands in my jacket pockets, then looked around, "so where's the big game happening?", I asked, cause it just looks a street of parties

"Just hope you have all the safety equipments at hand, if you don't, I can still make a call through", Chris said wanting to kill the fun spirit

Daniel looked at him, then sighed, "you know what?, sunshine, you just come with me, we'll leave him here", he said, dragging me already

"Really, don't just call me when you two need an ambulance", Chris said, although he was already following us

"Guys!!, hope you dare not start without me?", Daniel shouted at some men, who were also as handsome as he was

"No way Dee", one of the men said back, before looking at Chris, "what's up Nath?, yo, how long has it been?", he asked shaking Chris' hand, before he looked at me, "who's the pretty lady?"

"Oh, she's..."

"Dawn", Daniel beat Chris to introduce me, when he started being possessive, "Sunshine meet Clover, Clover meet Dawn",

Clover took my hand, and gave it a kiss

Seems Daniel and his friends are really birds of same feathers

"Hope this pretty lady is not a scaredy cat?", a pretty, blond haired lady asked, as she threw an helmet to me

"Not again Madeline", Chris said before looking at me, "are you sure you still wanna do this?, it's not too late to back out"

"Yep, sure", I said as I gave him my bag, and pecked him on the lips, before wearing the guy helmet

"Would you want to ride separately or with me?", Daniel asked, as he mounted his

"No, she'll do fine, won't you?", Madeline said, giving me her bike

I like this girl already

What's up guys?,

this chapter brought some memories from when I was younger, maybe 8 or 10, can't really remember, but anyways, I was learning how to ride a bicycle for the first time, although I still can't ride one though

And it's ironic that my love for extreme sports is extreme(sky diving, car racing, bungee jumping), but still I can't even do some mild sports. Thinking about it, I'm like

Seriously?!!
