Alright so here's the next chapter! Hope you guys keep enjoying the story! :)

"So then Rex promised me he would help me paint my parents room. And then on the day we're supposed to do it, he tells me he has an appointment to get his teeth whitened and can't cancel!" Robbie exclaims.
"One time, my brother whitened his teeth but had to be rushed to the hospital to have his stomach pumped due to all the chlorine he consumed."
"Cat! I'm trying to tell you about my problem with Rex so you guys can tell me how to fix it!" Robbie cries and then turns to me. "What do you think I should do, Toro?"
"First of all," I say. "Stop calling me 'Toro'. And secondly, you need to have a serious talk with Rex and tell him that his lack of commitment really upsets you and is putting a strain on your friendsh-"
"You need to stop playing with dolls, get yourself a girlfriend -or hooker for that matter- and get fucking laid." Jade nonchalantly says before taking a bite out of her sandwich. Robbie gasps and Cat covers her ears with a terrified expression on her face. I have to fight back a laugh by covering my mouth and pretending to cough. Jade notices however and gives me a sly look. Just then Beck and Andre join us with their lunches in hand.
"What up my peeps?" Andre calls. "How crazy is it that exactly one week ago we were all prisoners in a foreign country huh?"
"It's already been a whole week?" I ask as I take a sip from my soda.
"Yep. A week ago today, Robbie killed the Chancellor's octopus and got us thrown in Yerbanian prison." Beck adds to which Robbie frowns and looks down at his food.
It's Monday and our first day back at school from semester break. It seems odd to be back to our regular lives after the crazy week we've had. I look up at Jade and see her looking back at me with a small grin.
I still can't believe it. That we're friends. The fact that we are makes everything seem even crazier. But it's true. Even if she and I are the only ones that know it. I grin back at her and turn my attention to my salad as I think back on the past few days since we returned. Jade hadn't left my house until Saturday evening, when she decided she couldn't put off seeing Beck and going home anymore. I reluctantly agreed and spent the rest of the day in my room watching Jurassic Park and looking through the silly pictures we had taken that I just couldn't bring myself to erase. Since Trina had come back Sunday and Jade's parents insisted she stay home, we couldn't hang out either so we texted and talked on the phone all throughout the day.
It amazed me, the fact that in just a few days Jade had become such an important person in my life. Someone whose company I'd grown to love and longed for when I didn't have it.
The bell rings signaling the end of the lunch period and we all make our way to Sikowitz's class. I take a seat in my usual spot when I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I take it out to see it's a new text message from Jade.
-Sorry about your hair.
I scrunch up my face in confusion and am about to text and ask her what she's talking about when I feel something slam into the back of my head in an explosion of water. There are multiple gasps from people around the room while I simply sit there frozen, mouth agape in shock as I feel the water drip down my shoulders from my soaked hair. Sikowitz, who was just climbing in through the window when it happened looks at me and then turns his stare to the back of the room.
"Jade…" he drawls.
"I needed to test the water balloon launcher we're using in the play next week and Vega's head got in the way." She explains flatly.
