"Jacob! This is not funny!" the small teenager shouted, glaring up at her attacker. Her clothes were dripping wet and she was shivering. The attacker, better known as Jacob, was trying to contain his laughter. His best friend was soaked to the bone, her booties squelching as she made her way back to his house.

He chuckled before saying, "C'mon, it's not my fault you get scared easily- OUCH!"

"Scared easily!? You nearly killed me! I was walking around the lake waiting for you and suddenly I'm submerged in water. " She shouted, not forgetting to punch him in the arm. He rolled his eyes.

"You are exaggerating; it's just a bit of water. Wait, aren't you on the swim team?"

She looked at him, eyes blazing. "That doesn't even matter Jake, you jumped out on me! That water is almost six meters deep and I wasn't ready. I could have drowned, do you even care that I could have drowned!?"She shouted.

Jacob looked at his best friend. Taking in her damp appearance and hurt expression. He sighed before peeling off his jacket and wrapping it around the shivering girl. She refused to look at him.

"Hey, look at me." he said softly, grabbing her chin with his hand. She sniffed before meeting his gaze. A stray tear fell from the young girl's eye, he wiped it away.

"I'm sorry okay? I didn't think that you would get scared and certainly didn't expect you to fall in. I am so sorry." He whispered, pulling her into a hug.

"J-just promise me you won't make me practice my swimming skills in the lake again." She chuckled.

Jacob laughed into her wet hair, "I promise."

She pulled away before looking into her friend's eyes and asking, "You would have saved me right?"

"You are my best friend. If you were in a house fire, I would be in there before the firemen. If you were being attacked by a bear, I would leave you to get eaten because I don't fancy being someone's lunch." She laughed, giving him a light slap on the chest.

"I would care if you drowned, you know that. I will never let anything happen to you. You will never drown; I promise I'll always be there to make sure you breathe again." He whispered.

"You are the best friend ever Jake. I love you!" she said, throwing her arms around his middle.

"I love you too Mar."

There are days when I wake up refreshed and ready to be active. Today was not one of them. I ran to the bathroom, emptying the contents of my stomach down the toilet. I knew there was something dodgy about that chicken burger last night. The mere thought of it made me throw up again. My head was spinning. "Dad" I managed to croak out.

"Holy Sh- I mean- Baby girl are you okay?" I glared up at my father.

"Yes Dad, I'm perfectly fine. I'm just puking my guts up for the fun of it." he rolled his eyes at my sarcastic reply.

"You're not going to school today. C'mon let's get you to bed." I nodded and then hobbled down the corridor to my room. Dad kissed my cheek and tucked me into bed. "If you need anything just call me or your sister okay? I'll be back for dinner." Call Bella? Pluh-eese, I would rather choke on my own vomit. A wave of exhaustion came over me and I was asleep before you could say 'Bella is a Butt-faced baboon.'

A repetitive buzz brought me back from dream land. I grumbled before rolling over and grabbing my phone off the nightstand. It was nearly 3pm. I had eight missed calls and over ten messages on our group chat. I rolled my eyes before dialling the girls, they would be hiding out in the girls changing rooms.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?"

"WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER OUR CALLS?"

"OR OUR MESSAGES"

"WE WERE WORRIED SICK!" They shouted.

"Is it safe to talk now?" I asked my voice sounding like I smoked twenty a day.

"Are you okay?" Emmy asked, "What's wrong Mar Mar?"

"Are you dying?" asked Lisa, in a hushed voice. I sighed, "I'm fine, I'm just sick."

"I can't believe you left us here, we hate everyone." Lisa grumbled, always the charmer. I laughed. "Shouldn't you guys be in class?" I teased.

"Shut up!" they shouted down the phone. "Look guys, I have to go shower. I actually smell like vomit."

"Nice to know" Emmy resorted.

"Bye guys, be extra mean to Bella for me today. Love you lots." I said, hanging up. I practically ran to the shower.

I sat at my desk, listening to music and finishing my calculus homework. It was incredibly boring and my stomach was screaming for ice cream. Knowing my stomach is never wrong, I made my way downstairs in search of my lovers. Entering the kitchen, I let out an incredibly girly scream and grabbed the nearest weapon I could find, a ladle. There were two people in my kitchen, raiding my fridge. MY fridge.

The pair jumped and spun around to face me. I relaxed when I saw my sister but had to stop myself from throwing the ladle at her friends head. They both looked at me as if I was crazy. My eyes narrowed on the tub Jacob was holding. That Dick!

I stomped forward and grabbed the tub of ben and Jerry's from his grasp. "I think you will find this is mine." I hissed, picking up a spoon from the drawer. His face darkened and I flashed them both a smile. "Have fun studying" With that, I sauntered off to my room. Bella should be jealous; I have two best guy friends and they are much tastier than Jacob.

AN: Hello readers, this is kind of a filler chapter. The next chapter will jump forward to the cinema date thingy. Can I ask something?

On average, when does school usually start/finish in America and if Mara is 16, will she be a junior or what?

Thanks for reading and don't forget to review or follow or favourite.
