"Oh, I totally forgot. Didn't even remember to stock up on your favorite creamer or anything," Chantal remarked with a sly smirk, only jesting of course. Chantal could forget what assignment was due the night before, but small things like how her friends took their drinks or their allergies were always on her mind. Going back to check on the French Toast and then the frittata she knew was in the oven, Chantal gave her chef a pat on the back before heading to the coffee machine. One batch had already been brewing and was finished with the other still doing what it needed, so she concentrated on the fresh pot of coffee while listening to Cherry. Before she could even say a word, Annelise had already piped up. As soon as Cherry even asked Chantal to come over, Annelise knew she wasn't going to go. She also knew that she was already making plans for the evening. "Oh, sweetie, she is all yours for the night. Especially since some people," she chanced a glare at Chantal while skewering a piece of waffle on her fork, "aren't even gonna be there for Dominic's party on Sunday. Besides, I'm not the type for sleepovers with little critters crawling around." She finished, referring to Isabella in that last portion of her statement. Chantal rolled her eyes. "I am not missing the TCAs for a party that Dom is probably gonna throw again in a month. I'll just send some vodkas and models his way." A beat later, she glared at Annelise while handing Cherry her mug of coffee. "And don't call my baby a critter. She's an angel." Annelise only shrugged her off.
While Chantal busied herself with preparing the omelets, Annelise was the first to hear the male voice in the hallway. She didn't recognize it at first and slowly turned in her stool, eyeing Taylor slowly before turning back around. "Chris, one of your lapdogs are here!" She called to the other Royal, who was in the midst of an Assassin's Creed session in the room next over. He only tensed for a second at the sound before smirking and yelling back, "Stop being a bitch, Annie. Idk who that is, but I'm here! And hurry up with my food!" While also pausing the game to send a text to another friend.

CJ's cooking breakfast if u want any. Just 2 let u kno, her omelets r da best. Hands down
Chantal couldn't help herself and flipped her brother off even though he couldn't see her, before turning her attention to Taylor. She wasn't really mad that Chris invited his friends since she always made enough to feed a village, but she definitely did have something for her brother when she saw him. "Hey, Chris is in the other room, one door over. GrΓ©gory's got waffles, regular eggs, turkey bacon and sausage over on that counter with the muffins and fruit. Juices are in pitchers, coffee over here, and if you want anything special, just ask any of the staff. They've been running in and out all morning...and baby!" Chantal was cut off in the middle of her sentence to Taylor when her fellow band member, Lauren, came in behind him along with two seniors, one of whom was no longer a cheerleader to her grades. Immediately, despite having seen the raven-haired girl early in the morning, Chantal lunged at her. Annelise only rolled her eyes at the display of affection and the increasing amount of people, hurrying up to finish her food. She honestly didn't care to be around for the other cheerleaders to be here and for all of the "girl time" Chantal wanted to have with everyone.
"Well, this has been fun but some of us have actual plans for the day," Annelise declared, finishing up the syrupy goodness. Lauren offered her a frosty smile, just like Sienna and the other cheerleader. Annelise barely even acknowledged them. She simply glanced back at Cherry. "Don't get to comfortable in your Hello Kitty jammies, mkay? I'll hit you guys up with the deets later, but we're all hanging out tonight." With that said, Annelise exited the area with Lauren and Sienna parting to give her room as she went. Immediately afterwards, both girls rolled their eyes, swore under their breaths, and Chantal couldn't help but laugh. She loved her bestie, truly did, but she was more demanding than she needed. "Anyways, now that that bitch is gone, everyone needs to tell me about their summer. Except you Lauren. Last thing I need is a reenactment of you trying to do a split while we were playing hide-and-seek on the bus." Chantal laughed as Sienna demanded details, taking Annelise's forgotten stool as she waited for the food to be finished and just enjoying being with her girls again. Which also included texting Deanna to make sure she was still coming since she was one of the only girls not present.
