Hey everyone! As promised, here's chapter 2! Stay tuned, you might get a surprise soon... *wink wink*


5 years later...

Jenny was getting ready in her room when she heard the doorbell ring and a minute later her sister screaming, "Jen, Billy's at the door!" She quickly went to her bedroom door and opened it "Tell him I'll be down in a minute!" She just rolled her eyes when she heard Roz mumbled 'that means another 20 minutes at least' and Billy snickered. 10 minutes later, Jenny was ready and she headed downstairs to see Billy chilling on the couch waiting for her. When he saw her, he smiled "c'mon, we're already late, everyone else must be waiting on us." Jenny's mom walked in, "Are you two going to the park?" "Yeah mom we're going to meet with Ally, Adam and Brandon" "So the usual gang then?" Sandy laughed. Since the start of primary school, her daughter has been close friends with those kids. She's even friends with their parents. But no matter how close Jenny was with the rest of her group, she has always been best friends with Billy. That much hasn't change. "Be back before Sun down!" Sandy reminded Jenny of her curfew. "I know my curfew mom." She rolled her eyes. "I'll see you soon Sandy," Billy said before the two kids headed out, hopped on their bikes and were on their merry way to the park a few blocks away.

"Mom! Can you help me with my maths homework please?" Sandy heard her eldest daughter called out from her room upstairs. She just shook her head before replying, "Sure sweetie I'll be there in a sec."

Back in the park...

"Finally you guys decided to show up!" Brandon teased. "Oh like you're always punctual Brandon." Jenny replied. Ally and Adam just listened to their friends picking on each other and were laughing quietly. They had been friends since the start of their primary school when they were all chucked into the same classroom. They were all best friends by the end of lunch break. They would all usually meet and hang out together at the park almost every evening, either playing, goofing around or sometimes even do their homework together.

Brandon is the loud one, always like to joke around and pick on the girls in their group. But if anyone else outside their circle tried to do the same, he would get so angry and force them to apologise. No one gets to pick on his friends. Ally is the quiet one. She likes to hang out with her friends. They don't judge her because she's shy and likes to keep things to herself. Even though Brandon likes to tease her, she's fine with it because she knows that he's a nice guy. If she's being honest to herself, she might have a small crush on him. Adam is Ally's twin brother. They might be twins, but their birthdays is the only thing they have in common. Adam is the opposite of Ally. He's friendly and doesn't know when to shut his mouth up. He's super protective of his twin sister but he tries to hide it, because apparently 'it's not cool'. Billy, well Billy IS the cool one. He's not too quiet like Ally but not too loud like Brandon either. Everyone in their year knows him. Even the teachers like him. He's a good student but not a nerd. He plays a few sports, because he's still not sure which sport he wants to focus on just yet. Jenny smiled looking at her friends. Sometimes she wonders, how did they ended up being friends seeing that their personalities are quite the opposite of one another. But hey, the saying 'Opposites attract' must somewhat be true then, huh?

It was the weekend again, Sandy and Tom were out having an adults-only dinner. Roz was in her bedroom with some loud heavy metal music bursting from inside. Jenny was bored. She finished all her homework and she didn't know what else to do.

Usually Billy will sneak into her room through the window. He's been doing that for the past few months. But tonight he was in New Orleans with his parents visiting his dad's family. She's not really sure if their parents knew that Billy's been coming in through the window or not. But if they do, they sure didn't say anything about it. She likes having Billy here. Even though other kids at school thinks he's cute and cool, she just knows that he's her best friend and she always feels happy when he's around. Sometimes when she's sad, Billy would just know and he'll bring her some chocolates to cheer her up, or he would just sit there with her and make jokes to try and make her laugh. They also sometimes go to this treehouse they found a year ago abandoned in the woods. It became their secret hideout. No one knew about it. They usually will only go there when they wanted to tell each other a secret. They knew no one knows about that place so they could be sure that nobody would eavesdrop on them. Over the years, they had quite a few secrets that they kept to themselves from the rest of the world. That's one of the reasons why they're so close.

She looked around her room trying to find something to fill her time before giving up. She stood up and walked towards her sister's room. She knocked at her door as hard as she could. A few moments later, the door swing open and Roz had this questioning look on her face. "I'm bored. Can I hang around in your room with you?" Roz wanted to be annoyed but she never could when it came to her little sister. They were 6 years apart but they are always close with each other. "Alright come on in but don't touch my stuff!" Jenny beamed before jumping onto her sister's big bed. Because Roz is the oldest, she gets the bigger room with the bigger bed. Jenny didn't mind. She loves her sister. Roz is her idol. She wanted to grow up and be just like her.

Roz was typing something on her laptop, "what is it that you're typing?" Jenny asked innocently. "Oh it's just an essay I have to right for my English assignment." "Well what is the essay about?" Roz stopped typing, and turned to look at her baby sister. "It's about the future. My future to be exact. Mr Harrison wanted all of us to write on what we want to be after high school, college. What our hopes and dreams are basically. Boring stuff." Jenny's eyes were sparkling by now. "That's so cool. What do you wanna be when you grow up Roz? You could be anything and I know you'll be great at it!" Jenny gushed. Roz just smiled at her. Truthfully, she had no idea what she wanted to be. At the start of the year, she had everything planned. High school, college, university, and then she's going to be a lawyer. She always wanted to do law since she could ever remember. But now, she's just not sure anymore. "Thanks Jenny. But you know who else is gonna be great in the future?" Roz asked. Jenny thought for a second before shaking her head. Roz laughed at her confused face before saying "You, silly! You're gonna grow up, and you're going to make something out of yourself. Something amazing I'm sure" Jenny beamed. To hear such compliments from her sister means the world to Jenny. She giggled before wrapping her arms around her sister's waist, "thanks Roz! I love you so much." Roz smiled, "I love you too kiddo."
