I haven't update in a while! So here's a new addition to my story! I came up with this idea while riding in the car thinking about going to the beach even though I was actually going to the dentist. And there is a long chapter name for a change! Woo hoo! Happy reading!

-E.C.B

P.S. I decide to go with a different font for my signature thingy. Getting fancy, eh?

P.P.S. Kitchen does not start with a "C".

Chapter 7: Only My Best Friend in the Universe

"So…"

"What?"

"Stuff."

"Wow, Eliza. Just wow."

"I'm bored, ok?" I was sitting on a bar stool at the island in the kitchen at home. I eyed the fridge, but I already knew that it was pretty much empty. That's why my mom went to the store. All we had were graham crackers, tuna fish, and cream cheese. Ew.

"Look, missy," graham cracker crumbs were falling out of my dad's mouth. Smooth. "You are going to need to learn how to deal with boredom sometimes."

"Wow. You soul like my dad."

"I do, don't I. Oh well. When Nessie gets home you can bug her about it. Kay?"

"You bug me."

"I love you too."

I ran up the stairs into my room and flopped on the bed. What do you do when there's nothing to do? I looked at my laptop on my desk. My screen saver was up. Boring. I moved the mouse around a little and checked my facebook notifications. There was one that said "Anna Perry has written something on your wall". My face lit up as I checked what she wrote. It said, "Liza Jane! I miss you sooo much! I wanna hang out so call me! Love ya! Love, Anna"

Just in case you don't know, Anna Perry is only my best friend in the universe. I love her! We've known eachother since we were three. Believe it or not, she is Jake's sister's husband's sister's daughter. In other words she is the niece of my aunt, but on the other side of her family. We met at a party at my aunt's house and were best friends from that day on. Luckily, she lives in Port Angeles so we're only about an hour away from eachother. But sometimes we don't see eachother.

It's really easy to hang out with her because she knows all about vampires and werewolves. Even her parents know, but don't ask me how. I don't know why it doesn't bother them except that I'm still intact so that's gotta be a good sign.

I checked to see if she was still online, but she wasn't. I decided to call her. She didn't pick up her cell so I called her house. I waited impatiently through six rings until someone picked up.

"Hi Mrs. Perry! It's Eliza!"

"Eliza! Hi sweetie! How are things? How was your parent's vacation?"

"Good, and good! Can I−"

"She's right here." I was so excited! It had been nearly a month since I had last seen Anna!

"ELIZA!"

"ANNA!"

"Omigod I miss you so much!"

"Me too! I have some exciting things to tell you!"

"I'm all ears!"

"Not over the phone! I want you to come over."

"When?"

"Well now, but my mom's not home."

"Ask her when she gets home!"

"I will." There was a brief moment of awkward silence. That usually doesn't happen with us two!

"Is she home yet?"

"That was like two seconds! You're turning into me!"

"Well your impatience rubbed off on me during the previews the last time we saw a movie."

"Whatever. I'll call you when she gets home k? K."

"Bye Liza!"

"Bye Anna!" She was right about me being impatient. I am the most impatient 13-year-old in Washington. And it's even better when there's nothing to do while I'm waiting! Before I could finish the thought, I heard the back door open and my mom's voice drifted up the stairs. I speeded down the stairs into the kitchen.

"MOM! Hey mommy you know you're the best mom in the world and I love you so much!"

"I love you too, Liza. Now what do you want?"

"Do you think Anna could come over, and maybe stay the night?"

"Well you haven't seen her in a while. What do you think, Jake?"

"I think it's a great idea."

"YAY! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm going to call her right now!"

"I'll be making lunch. We're having grilled cheese. Oh yeah and I got lots of stuff for tacos for dinner." I was so excited, that I didn't even hear what she said. I grabbed the phone and dialed Anna's number.

"Pack your bags Anna! You're staying the night!" All I heard from the other end of the line was my best friend shouting woo hoo! We talked for a little while longer, but the smell of grilled cheese was too tempting. Thank god it was lunchtime!
