Barely Friends (Unlikely Friends sequel)

Chapter 15- Friends Are All You Need

**** I can't even begin to say how pissed off I am at myself. When I was writing on my iPod on Wednesday 16th, I accidentally pressed discard instead of save. I had at least 2 1/2 pages written and they didn't save. No lie, I almost cried. I really liked what I had written too. So I'm sorry I'm getting this to you late, I've just been trying to make it the same as it was before. So... Here's the story!***

After crying for about 30 minutes I calmed down. Once I had myself together I drove back to my house. When I walked in I saw Cody and Alli sitting in the couch nervously staring at a turned off tv.

Alli hopped up and ran over and hugged me so tight it was hard to breath. "Sophia!" She smacked my arm as she stepped back. "What?!" I asked clearly confused.

"We were worried sick about you! We had no clue where you were!" Alli yelled.

I heard Cody in the living room. He was on the phone with somebody telling hem I was home.

"My bad." I sarcastically said.

"Look, I know Christian shouldn't have told the police. But are you really going to let your relationship crumble and end because of one stupid mistake he made? He's devastated Sophia..."

"Well, I was devastated when I found out he told the police." I sighed.

"That's n-" I cut her off.

" I know what you meant Alli. I walked past her and into the living room.

Cody was off his phone. He hugged me. "I was so worried about you!" He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. "Cody Robert Simpson! Put me down. Right. Now!" I yelled. He ignored me and walked towards the patio door, the one that lead towards the pool.

I noticed that he was wearing swimming trunks with his shirt instead of shorts. I looked up and saw Alli with a video camera. "Allison! Help me!!!" She chuckled. "No can do Babe." I sighed. Cody was standing at the edge of the pool now. I may as well hold my breath. I thought. I closed my eyes. A second later, I felt my body crashing onto the cold water.

When I surfaced I looked around. Cody was popping up from under the water too. He shook his head to get the water out of his hair. I swam over to him. "I have you.." I mumbled. "Awe, what's that? You love me? I love you too!" He joked. When he wasn't expecting it, I pushed him under the water and quickly swam to the shallow end and got out.

I walked over to Alli and playfully pushed her shoulder. "What did I do?" She asked innocently. I just sighed. "Com'on let's swim!" She pulled off her shirt and jumped in the pool in her purple bra and black yoga shorts. I figured I may as well do the same, I pulled off my tanktop and was wearing only my blue lacy bra with my grey yoga shorts. I dove into the pool.

Only now, I noticed how large and pretty my backyard was. The pool was massive, and oddly shaped. At the end farthest from the house, there was a little 'den' i liked to call it. A 'rock wall' was built and water ran off of it to form a waterfall. You could swim under the waterfall and there was a small 'room' type thing. At the other end, there was a built-in hot tub. The bottom and sides of the pool were painted an aqua-greenish color so it looked like clear ocean water.

"Yo Lorah! Get yo ass together, Logan's here. We gonna chickin fight!" Alli yelled in a horribly failed ghetto accent.

"Ight!" I yelled back, and swam over to the deep.

***********

Alli, Logan, Cody and I sat with towels around us at the campfire we started. It was probably about 8:30 right now. My mother and Logan's dad were cleaning the house. We were having an Open House tomorrow. After talking to Angie and Brad, my mother deiceded that we needed a more expensive house. In a more expensive neighbor hood. With brand new expensive cars...for all of us. Along with a more expensive security system. She found a house on Neverbrooks Ave. The same street as the Simpsons'.

"Sophia! Come with me to get the s'mores stuff!" Alli called, snapping me out of my thoughts. I followed Alli into my house. She went into the pantry and pulled the marshmallow and graham crackers out. I got the chocolate out of the fridge. That's what I loved about Alli, Cody and my relatioship. We acted as if eachother's housees were their own.

"Sophia!" my mother called as I was walking out the backdoor. I handed Alli the chocolate and told her I'd be right out.

"Yes, Mom?" I asked as I walked over to the computer, where she was,

"Tell me what you think of this house? It's the one next to Cody's and Alli's."

I sat down and looked at the house. 'Great. 6,000sq feet....This house is 3.250sq feet. Damn' I thought. I read the description.

I looked over my shoulder at my mother. "MOM! How much money is this house." I was flabberghasted.

"Not that mu-"

"No Mom. I want the price of this house."

"It's $2.5 million Sophia.."

"$2.5 million! Mother how are you paying for that?!?! I told you that with the money I make I'd let you use $1 million. Where are you getting the other $1.5 million from?!?" I yelled in frustration.

"You know, I have a job. So does Dan! We both get payed well. I'm a doctor Sophia! A plastic surgeon actually! And Dan, his family owns Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch. He gets payed good!" She said back frustrated with me.

"What ever. As long as I get a masthead room and a walk in closet, I don't care." I got up and waked away.

I walked over and sat on Alli's lap to piss her off. "Sophiaaaaa. Now I can't roast my marshmallowwwwww" she whined. "Oh boohoo" Logan called as he sat on my lap. Cody on his. "What exactly is the point of this?" I called out. "What? It turns me on when Cody sits on my lap!" Logan joked. "You're so perverted..." I sighed.
