Alice and Jake have always been best friends and although they act like a couple they're not dating. Being as close as they are, they know almost everything about each other and hang out all of the time. They are inseparable and everyone knows it.

Honestly, I don't know about this. I know it's summer and all but I don't want to go in, the water is freezing! "Look Alice if you just go in you'll get used to it." I doubt it". Look if you don't jump in I'll push you!" That's so mean! "Well hey, I want you to try at least." Honestly, I think you just want to push me in! She sneered. "No... it's nothing like that! I thought if I encouraged you maybe it would help". By threatening to push me in?! "Well sorta". You know Jake sometimes you make me doubt my life choices. Look, how about this, if you buy me a strawberry milkshake I will jump in. "Deal!" Alright then!

Here I go! With a running start, she gracefully leaps into the air and flips into the water screaming as she reached the surface. Jake! Are you gonna jump in too?!

Before she realized Jake was already in mid-air about to cannonball right next to her.

She ducked but it was no use, she was splashed. Seriously Jake!? That was epic!!!! Look I can swim laps around you! "Oh ya!? Well, I can splash you!" As he splashed her with both hands drudging the water in her face. Hey!!!! Alice yells coughing on water. She splashes him back frantically bobbing and swishing to avoid his maniacal returns.

"How's your job going?" Oh!? *looks like she's about to cry* it's GOING GREAT! " oh the way you reacted I thought you were going to say it wasn't going the way you wanted." I was just messing with ya she laughed softly. "well that's good." "How much do they pay you?" Oh, twelve bucks an hour. "Really?!" Oh ya!

"That's cool, I'm glad for you." What about you? " Well, I'm too busy with football and my classes to work but I do help out my mom at the flower shop during the weekends." That's pretty nice.

A few hours later, Well, thanks for the ride home, want to come in and watch a movie?! "Sure."

The two made a night of one little question creating a series of domino choices after. They watched the note... Alice ended up in tears ugly sobbing and Jake ended up just about the same. With a girly giggle, I think we ate all of the popcorn. They both laughed. After the movie, they got antsy and decided to go for a ride down the highway. That relaxing feeling, windows down, a decently nice night,70 degrees, and the sound of the engine rolling down the highway while country songs are scrolling on the radio. What a free and amazing feeling like nothing could feel more right. They stopped for Wendy's got food and wrappers everywhere and Jake made a comment about beating Alice up with a shovel for abusing the floor of his truck. And they both laughed. Staying out till 2 am they went to Alice's house. Jake passed out on the couch and Alice went to her room.

In the morning they both awoke to the smell of a freshly cooked feast. Alice's mom had cooked eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes, and sausage. It was a nice sunny morning for October and although it was long sleeve weather no day seemed to have been warmer than that morning.

So. What did you guys get up to last night? You were out for a while. Said Alice's mom. Oh, we went out for a drive got food and sorta just drove around mostly down the highway and then... oh, we came here and passed out! You're forgetting something Jake. Alice said raising her brow. She started giggling and said we watched the note and ate all of the popcorn. I think I only threw it at him 99 times. He kept making terrible jokes at the wrong moments and I couldn't help but want to throw it at him. We cleaned up but there might still be a piece or two somewhere. Well, my oh my that sounds like fun. Said Mrs. Baker. Didn't go to any secret parties, did you?! No! No- because if you did you should have invited me!

So... Jake.? Ya? Got any plans?! Not really why? I was thinking we could go bowling next weekend. Alright, that sounds fun. Honestly, I want to go swimming right now. Alice said. Want to go to the Ymca? Jake said. Ya, that sounds like exactly what I need. Mom is it alright if we go to the Y?! Sure, why not?. Okay let me get my swimsuit and such and we can go to your house to get yours. Alright, he said.

So are we going to do anything after swimming I'm wondering if there's anything fun going on today.? Alice said. We'll find something. Jake said. Clearly, I'm gonna beat you at a swimming race. Said Alice. Keep dreaming pipsqueak! said, Jake. Hey, my mama always told me if I dream it I can do anything I put my mind to. I think your mom just says that because you're her little princess. Jake laughed. Oh ya, I'll show you a princess. When I kick your ass! Pppftt, you kick mine, I don't think so. They both burst out laughing. As if they'd actually brawl. Clearly joking like they always do. Is it weird? yes. Do they care? Nope!

Their relationship is sort of like brother and sister. Both of them would do anything for the other. As they walked down the steps to go to the pool, in the pool was Jake's ex-girlfriend Rylie. As soon as he saw her he turned around without making a scene and whispered. Alice, we have to leave it's RJ. So they both quietly walked away into the family locker room. Jake leaned up against the wall clearly upset by seeing her. Look Jake it's alright she can't control you anymore. I know. It's okay, come here. She gave him a hug and rubbed his shoulder comforting him. As he went to put his arms around her Rylie walked in with her little brother. He would have said something but he just buried his face in Alice's hair. Rylie walked by and said you know this is a family locker room you shouldn't be making out in here, if you want to do that go somewhere else. Without looking at her they both walked the opposite direction out of the room and into the girl's locker room. They went the opposite way to go get jakes things from the guy's locker room. Then they left. They went out for pizza, on another highway ride, and then to Alice's house. They ended up watching like ten movies and then eating something Mrs. baker made for dinner then going to bed. The next day Jake went home did leftover homework and got ready for school. He left a note it read: see you next weekend and or at school! Thanks for the weekend I had fun. Hearts. Smiley face.
