A/N: Since I write my chapters beforehand on pieces of paper, I found this a while back. It only has chapter 1 and chapter 2 so it probably won't make much sense. Though I urge you to at least read it, if you don't want to deal with fast-pacing stuff, please skip to chapter 3.
It was the week before school was over at World Middle School Academy. Alison and Rachel were best friends until... "Stop babying me around. Just because you're older than me doesn't make you have the ability to act as my mom!," Alison cried after school was let out. "I can't help it! I have this feeling to just keep you spoiled and kept as a child," Rachel replied, having confidence in herself.
"But remember your cooking su-"
"IT DOES NOT SUCK!," Rachel exclaimed, calming down soon after she said that,"My cooking is delicious."
"Says the person who made a fire from cereal and milk."
"But I taught you-"
"Yeah, you have the brains and I have the fun."
"What do you mean? I can be funny!"
"Oh yeah? Prove it."
"Um... well... Let's see..."
"See? Told you you can't be funny!"
"I got it! If all the countries in the world were in flesh, what would the couple America and England be?"
"Oh great, another geography question!"
"I promise this one's good one!"
"Whatever. I don't know, what is it?"
"UsUk! Get it?! The United States of America is also known as US, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain is called UK! Get it now?," Rachel explains, almost trying not to laugh herself.
"That is by far the most confusing and boring joke in the history of jokes. Goodbye."
"Wait, where are you going?"
"I need my freedom, besides best friend relationships always break at one point or another," Allison replied, leaving Rachel all alone. Rachel just thought that Alison was having one of those mood swings. But the following day, when Rachel waved to Alison but she just walked past her, ignoring her. This happened for about a week, but on the last day of school, she gave up and walked straight towards Alison. "What's the big deal?" Rachel yelled. "Oh... Rachel right? Aren't you in math class with me?" Alison asked, shocked at the sudden exclamation. This is it. Their friendship relationship has been torn apart. Rachel slowly put her arms back to her side. "Sorry, whatever I did, I'm sorry" Rachel said, turning around and walking away. As Rachel walked away, Alison looked pained. Rachel has never said sorry to her. She wanted to call out to her that she was sorry too and that they would pretend it never had happened but she just couldn't bring herself up to do that. She did show it however with a single teardrop rolling down her cheek.
"Good afternoon, sweetie, how was school?" Rachel's mom asked. Rachel didn't respond back to her and just went upstairs to her room. Her room was fairly small with music artists, a desk, a bed, a drawer, a computer, and another door leading to her bathroom. Once Rachel got in the room she sighed and flopped onto the bed. It has been a long day. Usually she would have automatically celebrate it being a Friday by cooking and drinking tea. Rachel's parents worked all the time, barely spending time together as a family. "I'm leaving for work now. Dinner's in the fridge, just reheat it. Remember to check the mail when you get the chance," Rachel's mom said. "Okay!" Rachel exclaimed in her room. Right, the day's not over yet. Mom would go to work, I would reheat dinner, get the mail, and spend the rest of the night alone. Rachel got up from her bed and went downstairs. She turned to her right and opened the refrigerator. "Ugh... not pizza AGAIN!" Rachel complained. She closed the refrigerator and went out the door towards the mailbox. I am simply NOT going to eat pizza again. Rachel opened the mailbox, grabbed the mail, and started heading back towards the house. Parents... Junk... Grade Results... Bills... Rachel stopped. Something addressed to me? She ran inside and stared at the envelope. The address was from England. England... I don't know anyone there. Rachel opened the envelope and it read:
Dear Rachel,
You are invited to a tea party in Brooklyn, New York. That little "joke" you said was actually true. All of us countries are live in flesh. If you want us to explain more then join the World Conference Meeting at 2:30 PM. Say "Rachel Kirkland" and money will fall out from the envelope. This money will help your funds to get to Brooklyn. I hope to see you there Saturday at 6 o'clock. I also personally would like to explain to you why you got into a fight with your friend.
Sincerely,
Arthur Kirkland
Rachel couldn't believe this. World Conference meeting? Kirkland? Countries in live flesh? This couldn't be real. It must have been a prank letter from Alison. If she said "Rachel Kirkland" would the money for Brooklyn really fall out? It was work a shot. "R-Rachel Kirkland" Rachel stutter. The envelope suddenly glowed, and then a second later went back to normal. Rachel looked at the ground and gasped. The money, used for Brooklyn, was there.
