Jessica Trane


When I get home from the long day of school I slump over to the kitchen. Neither my aunt or cousin is back so I have the whole house to myself.


I set my bag next to my chair and I grab a bowl from the cabinet. I set it on the island of my kitchen and sit in my chair checking my phone. I got one text from Cassy and one text from my aunt. I open Cassy's first.


Cass: Hey! Nate's parents are in town and Nate is spending time with them ): do you wanna hang out with me?


Then I open my auntie text.


Aunt: Me and your cousin decided to go out fishing with your uncle John. Then we're going back to his house and having dinner. We'll back tomorrow.


Me: It's your cousin and I, auntie. Whatever I'll see you then.


I go back to Cass's and I conversation.


Me: Yeah, my aunt isn't going to be here until tomorrow.


I press send. I set my phone down and fill my empty bowl with cereal and milk. Yes. I eat cereal in the middle of the day, arrest me.


After I'm done eating I set my bowl in the dishwasher along with my spoon and I put away the box of cocoa pebbles. I put my milk back into the fridge and I grab my stuff to go upstairs.


I set my stuff beside my bed and pull out my phone again. I have another text from Cassidy.


Cass: I'll be there in ten.


The text was sent two minutes ago so I have about eight minuets. I strip from my clothes and walk into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I ready the water and wait for it to be hot. I hum in a soft voice but I end up singing at the top of my lungs. I mean, no one is home so why not?


When I finish bathing I dry myself and hurry to my closet even though no one is in the house I feel like I'm exposed. I pick a pair of shorts and a loose long sleeve. I dry and comb my hair and put it into a high ponytail. I grab my phone and walk downstairs.


I'm about to text Cassidy but I stop immediately when she is right in front of me sitting on my couch. I scream a terror shriek and drop my phone. My phone is fine, thank to you case, but I just experienced a mini heart attack.


"Hey." She says ever so casually. But I can see her evil grin that she is trying to hide.


"Hey?! Cass how the hell did you get in my house?"


"Secret." She shrugs, her face turns into a smirk, "I like your voice." My eyes widen and my cheeks turn red.


"You heard me?" I don't know why I'm being so shy, she has heard me sing before. Her and Nick.


"Yup, very thin walls you have here. But, nothing to my be shy of Jess. I told you before and I'll tell you again, you have an absolutely amazing voice!" my friend rambles on.


"Whatever," I roll my eyes, "this is not about my voice, this is about how you can come into my house and rape me in my sleep."


"You'd be lucky to be raped by me. I'm fabulous." She stands on the couch and imitates a pose.


I love how Cass and I can joke about everything. She's my best friend and I know I am so lucky to have her.


I scoff and walk in to the kitchen. I hear her jump off the couch and follow me in. I take a seat in the kitchen and play a game on my phone. Well, up until I hear a blood chilling scream. On instinct I drop my phone on the table and jump off my chair before hiding under the table.


"Jess!" I hear Cass yell. I crawl out of under the table and look at my friend with my very wide eyes.


My heart is racing but when I look at her, all my emotions turn into confusion. Cass is in my fridge, then in every single cabinet there is before looking at me. "What?" I ask making sure confusion is clear in mopey voice.


"You have no food!" She screamed, her face is completely serious, and utterly terrified. I instantly relax and I sigh.


"Why the hell am I friends with this lunatic." I mumble under my breath. She seems to have noticed and her face turns into a smile. Hmm, not the reaction I would expect.


"Awwww, I love you too!" she says before coming to me for a hug. Definitely not the reaction I was expecting, but this is Cass and Cass is a total weirdo.

Hooray for happy and funny chapters! (^.^) I mean I hope it was funny, that was what's was aiming for.


Okay so, I have like 80 reads. I know this is a little bit but before the last chapter, I haven't wrote in this story for a long time. The last time I checked my reads, there were about 5. So this is big to me.


Love ya butts.
