The New Best Friend

Chapter 3: The First Night

Ring. Ring. Ring.

God is she gonna pick up or not?

Ring. Ring. 'Hey this is Jayne and Serena, we can't come to the phone right now so leave a message!'

WHAT! Great…I hate talking to answering machines.

"Hey mum, it's me…Rena. I know it'll be morning by the time you get this so I just wanted to let you know that I'm fine and that I'm safe. I'm staying at a friend's house. So you don't have to worry about me. Well that's it really. I just didn't want you to worry. Bye, mum."

God, I never want to do that again. I can imagine my mums face in the morning. She'll probably call everyone she knows -which now that I think about it won't be a lot of people because we haven't been living here that long she's been busy with work and stuff- and demand to know where I am. She will defiantly call the school, which means that I'll be pulled into the principal's office soon as I get there. It's not like I don't like Father Dominic - he's actually very nice- but I really can't face going home right now.

Suze is finally out of the bathroom. She was in there for at least twenty minutes. I mean, how long do need to get changed? I mentioned this to her, the very mature reply I got was a pillow in the face. Right this is war. I threw the pillow back at her, it hit her right in the stomach (she was standing up).

"Okay, okay. I give up. You win," I puffed about thirty minutes later.

"Ha," Suze replied, "Bow down and worship me, peasant!"

"I think not!" I retorted, "You may have won this fight but you have not won the war!"

We both collapsed on the bed laughing. We were laughing so hard that tears were running down our faces.

"Why are we laughing?" Suze asked gasping for breath.

"I have no idea!" I said, having the same trouble breathing.

After calming down - this took a surprisingly large amount of time – I went into the bathroom to get changed. After getting my PJ's out of my suitcase I mean. When I came out Suze was putting my suitcase under her bed.

"Hey, have you eaten?" She asked me.

"Errm…I had a bit of dinner but that's it. Why?" I answered.

"Okay, let's go raid the fridge!" She said pulling me out of the room.

As we were running down the stairs we ran into Jake – Have I ever mentioned that my PJ's are really skimpy? Well they are – he looked my up and down then whistled. I could feel my cheeks heating up, I had a feeling that I was bright red. Suze hit him around the head.

"Do you mind not whistling at my friend like that, you pervert!" Suze bellowed.

"Hey, how do you know that Serena doesn't like me whistling at her?" He retorted.

"I highly doubt that she likes you whistling at her!" Suze replied hotly.

"Errm…guys, I am still here you know." I interrupted.

To me, Suze said, "Sorry Rena. Let's go get some food!" To Jake she said, "We are going now pervert, goodnight!"

As we started going back down the stairs I turned back. Jake was still there so I smiled to hide my embarrassment at getting caught looking back.

"Night girls, see you tomorrow." Jake said.

As we walked into the kitchen we saw that Suze's mum was still up.

"Oh, hi girls. Are you two okay? I thought I heard some shouting," Mrs Ackerman asked, you could tell she was worried.

Before Suze could answer I said, "Oh that was just Suze and Jake. There's nothing to worry about Mrs Ackerman."

"Suze, what have I told you about fighting with the boys! Rena love, call me Helen," (A/N: I think that's her name. If it's not please tell me and I'll change it!) Mrs Ackerman – I mean Helen – replied.

"Mom!" Suze exclaimed, "That totally wasn't my fault! Jake started it! He checked Rena out, then whistled at her! Jake's been out with one of my friends before, it was really weird and I don't want to go down that road again because it totally freaks me out!"

Well that puts an end to all the fantasies I've been having about when Jake and I get married. Okay so maybe I was getting a bit ahead of myself but a girl can dream.

"Okay, okay! No need to get hysterical! I'm going to bed now girls, be sure that you two don't stay up too late you've both got school in the morning!" Helen told us.

After we had both said goodnight, we went straight to the fridge. We made ourselves a sandwich each and grabbed a packet of crisps. We went back to Suze's room and when we were about halfway through our sandwiches Suze asked me why I ran away.

"Well Rena are you gonna tell me what happened?" She asked me.

"Suze…God, you're not gonna let this go are you?" I replied.

"No I'm not because I can tell that you're upset, no matter how much you try to hide it."

"Well if you won't leave me alone about it I guess I'll have to tell you, you know that I used to live in England right?"

"Yeah…"

"Well, my dad, my mum and I had this really big house and we were really happy. But then my dad started acting really funny."

"Funny? In what way?"

"He started saying that he couldn't make it to dinners and things like that. This one day my school finished an hour early, I can't remember why. But when I got in, my dad was in too."

"That was bad because…?"

"He had this woman with him. They were getting pretty cosy on the couch if you know what I mean. I was really shocked and upset. I mean, it's not every day you find your dad cheating on your mum."

"Oh God, Rena. I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring up a sore subject."

"It's okay. It's about time I talk to somebody about it."

"So what did you do? After you had caught them I mean."

"I …I stormed up to him and asked him what the hell he thought he was doing."

"Look it's late now. Let's go to sleep now, but I want to hear the rest of this story, so don't think you're getting out of it!"

"Okay, night Suze."

Right that's it I've finally told somebody. Not all of it though, I'm not ready to tell Suze the rest yet. Maybe I will soon though…

A/N: There it is. Sorry it's not much of a cliffy. I will try and get Chapter 5 up as soon as possible! So will everyone please review! I like reviews. They make me write faster.
