Erin's POV

"Ok, everyone sit down and get your books out," Mr Jameson said as his class made their way into his class. Erin was in the middle of doing this when Caine sat down beside her. "You're going to be so proud of me!" he told her with a smile. "Why?" she asked. Caine answered her by opening his exercise book and showing her the page. Erin looked at it and was genuinely amazed.

"You did your Maths homework?" she tried to say in a voice full of awe. "Yep," Caine said with pride, "I thought 'why not?' last night, and did it." A smile crossed Erin's face as she tried to hold back the remark that was on the tip of her tongue. "What?" Caine asked when he saw the smile. "Well, it took you 2 weeks to learn that you had to do your homework, something that everyone else figured out on the first day." "I'm a slow learner," Caine joked. "Yeah, but it took less time to house train my dog!"

Caine raised and eyebrow. "So you're saying that I'm as smart as a dog." He was obviously offended at the thought of such a thing. "No," Erin said, laughing at him. "I would never say such a rude thing about my little dog!" Caine tried to mask his smile with a look of indignation.

"Caine! Erin! When you're finished gossiping, can you get your books out so we can begin?" "Sorry Mr Jameson," Erin said, while Caine said something under his breath. Erin got her things out of her bag. She noticed a sticky note on her pencil case. "What's that?" Caine asked her. Erin shook her head and read the note:

I don't know when your birthday is but I thought I'd get you something anyway! Hope you enjoy it, Diana XO

Erin opened up her pencil case and looked inside. All her stuff was in it, and it wasn't covered in everything. She was really confused but thought that maybe it was just Diana playing with her. She decided to turn her attention to Mr Jameson.

"OK, take the example on the board down," Mr Jameson said. Erin reached into her pencil case for a pen. She felt something move. It was on her hand. She pulled her hand out and saw the black body with its 8 legs crawling around her hand. "Awwwwwww!" she screamed. Every head turned around to stare at her. "There's a spider on my hand! A SPIDER!" All she could do was scream, she was paralysed with fear.

"Calm down," Caine said with a laugh. He rolled a sheet of paper and swatted the spider with it. It flew through the air and landed on the windowsill. Caine got up and opened the window to let the spider outside. He walked back to his seat with a smirk. "Seriously Erin, no need to over-react." "What!" Erin cried, "Its body was like 5cm long. Plus did you see its legs?" All the boys laughed their heads off at her, while most of the girls looked afraid at the thought of such a beast having been in the room. Mr Jameson just looked annoyed. "Ok drama over, can we get back to work now?"

"Thanks", Erin whispered to Caine. "It was nothing. Must girls I know hates spiders, except Diana. She doesn't like them, but could put up with them. In fact last night she said that she had to look for spiders for her Biology class." "Oh, really." Erin's blood was boiling from the fact that because of Diana, she had been made a fool of. But she realised that something wasn't right.

"Hey, how did you know that you'd be able to hit the spider hard enough to get it to the window?" Caine looked at her for a while before answering. "Um… I have a good shot." "Yeah but you would've needed a lot of power and it looked like you gently hit it." "I don't know," Caine sounded annoyed. "Just be grateful that I did it!"

Diana's POV

Diana was sitting on her bed, reading a magazine. She decided that her mountain of homework could wait. She looked up at the sound of the door opening. "What is wrong with you?!" Erin yelled at her. "Well, according to my mum, I like my bed too much. Why?" Erin stared open mouth at Diana. Clearly she had not expected an answer. Erin recovered herself and regained her anger. "I'm talking in relation to you putting a spider in my pencil case!"

"Oh, that was just bad gift-giving, but you know what they say: It's the thought that counts." Diana could see Erin's anger was growing and growing. "Ok, I think my next question is why did you think I would want a spider?" Diana laughed at her. " Remember last week when you saw like a baby spider in the bathroom and you totally freaked out? I wondered what would happen if you saw a massive one. And according to Caine, you didn't take it well." Diana had an ear-to-ear smile. She had heard all about Erin's reaction.

"Why are you being so horrible?" "You know," Diana said, "I would be nicer to you if we changed our living arrangements. I heard this girl Taylor has no roommate. She doesn't shut up, but you'll hear all the school's gossip if you live with her." "No," Erin sounded determined. "I will not let you win." "Whether or not you let me, it's going to happen." Diana replied.

Diana could see how frustrated Erin was. "What's that?" Diana looked to where Erin was looking. "It's a wrench, obviously." Erin let out an exasperated sigh, "I know, what I mean is why is there a wrench on your desk?" Diana made sure that her face was unreadable. "A guy stole it from the workshop and gave it to me. Trying to show that's he's not a wimp, even if it's a pathetic thing to do."

Diana walked over to it and picked it up. "I best give it back to him," she said as she walked out the door.

Erin's POV

While Erin was getting ready for bed she was thinking about ways to deal with Diana. She had come up with no answers. 'Forget about it, Erin' she told herself as she stood in front of the sink. She turned on the tap and it came off! 'How did that happen?' she asked herself. And she realised the answer. The wrench. That must have been why Diana had it. She had no time to think about that because water was spraying out at her and she was being drenched.

She tried to fix the tap back on but it was no use. The water kept coming, but there was nothing that she could do. She closed her eyes and put her hands up to protect her face. And she felt no more water spraying out.

She opened her eyes and saw that in front of her the water had stopped. It was in mid air. But she looked closely; it was ice. She had turned the water that was spewing out at her into ice! 'What is happening?' she asked herself. She touched it; it was frozen solid. She broke a piece off and held it in her hands. She stared at it for a long time before noticing it wasn't melting. That couldn't be right because her hands were roasting.

She set the block of ice down before going to get her hairdryer. She plugged it in and let the hot air blow on the block. To her amazement, this had no effect. She couldn't let Diana see the ice frozen whilst coming out the tap, she'd think Erin was a witch or something! She had to think.

She grabbed a plastic bag and put the block of ice in it. She was going to throw it out. She started breaking blocks off the ice in the sink, a thousand thoughts racing through her mind. 'Why don't you melt!' she yelled at a piece in her hand, wishing it'd melt. And it did!

A crazy thought went through her mind. She placed her hand on the whole of the ice and wished again. As quickly as it froze, it melted. And the water came out again. She didn't care. She just walked away from it, to get the caretaker. As she walked, she seriously thought that Diana must have drugged her.
