*** Rachel's POV ***
I woke up with a jolt, which made my head hurt even more. I already knew I wouldn't be going to school today.
And it's really sad because I was hoping to see Jacob. Ugh.
I got up and texted my mom.
Me- Hey mom I'm not feeling well again. I have a super bad headache and I just can't go to school.
Mom- Okay honey. I'll see if I can leave early for work.
Me- Ok
Mom- 💓
Me- 💜
I decided I'd text Jacob, because he should be up by now if he's going to school.
Me- Hey
Jacob- Hiii
Me- I can't come to school today ☹️
Jacob- Still not feeling well?
Me- Nope
Jacob- It's like your immune system hates you and wants you to have no social life
Me- I know
Jacob- Please get better
Me- I will
Jacob- Okay hopefully I'll see you tomorrow 😂
Me- Hopefully 😂😂💘
Jacob- Bye 💙
Me- Bye💕
I know what you're thinking. Heart emojis, caring for each other. No, we're not a thing, but we're just friends. That's all.
I decide to go downstairs and make a bowl of cereal. I'm always hungry and nothing will change that, whether I'm sick or not.
I bring my phone with me downstairs and put my hair into a messy bun like I normally do. Honestly, I wouldn't even call it a bun, I would call it a flop. Because literally it just flops on my head.
I try to find Cinnamon Toast Crunch, my favorite cereal, but then I realized we're all out. I'm stuck with eating Cheerios. Great.
I go and sit on the couch. I turn on The Backyardigans because there was nothing else on.
I look out the window and see Jacob going to the bus stop. He sees me and he smiles and waves. I wave back.
*** Jacob's POV ***
I see that Rachel was sitting on her couch, and she saw me walking to the bus stop so I waved. She smiled at me, too. Ugh she's so great.
Once I arrive at the bus stop, I'm the only one there. That's not surprising.
   A couple minutes later, the bus arrives, and I get on. I saw Becky was on the bus so I sat next to her.
   Before I sat with Becky, though, I see Tori give me rude glances and rolls her eyes at me. She's already moved on with another guy. Which was good, because now I don't have to deal with her.
   " Hey." Becky says to me. She moves over for me to sit.
   " Hey. Rachel won't be in school today," I tell her. " She's still sick."
   Becky frowns. " Oh."
   " She came to my house last night because I asked her to, and we talked."
   " About..." Becky trails off.
   " I apologized and she forgives me." Becky squealed in my ear which made me go deaf for about 1.2 seconds.
   I rubbed my ear. " We also admitted that we like each other."
   " So why don't you date already?" Becky was yelling in my ear and I gave her an annoyed look.
   " I would answer all your questions if you stop yelling in my ear." I tell her. She giggled, but she stopped.
   " I would feel weird with dating her after I broke up with Tori,"
   She stopped me from talking.
   " You broke up with her?" Becky got excited. I nodded my head and she smiled from ear to ear.
"Finally. It took you long enough."
   I rolled my eyes and continued.
   " I would feel wrong if I got with her right after Tori. I wouldn't want to seem like I get with girls a lot, because Tori was my first girlfriend and I didn't even end up liking her. In the beginning, I did, but then after I saw Rachel getting upset about it I stopped liking Tori. Tori is the most annoying person I have ever met and I'm not going to lie about it."
   Becky giggled. " I see what you mean. Maybe you should ask her out at that party of yours," I figured that Rachel told Becky.
   " Actually, Rachel already knows this, but it's a Halloween party for my birthday. My birthday is the twenty sixth, so I'm having a Halloween party for my birthday party. She said she didn't know what she was going to wear but I told her to be a beautiful girl and she wouldn't even need to buy a costume," I smiled at myself.
   Becky had her mouth open in awe. " THAT WAS SMOOTH DANG BOY!"
   " I know."
   It was time to get off of the bus and I already knew this day wasn't going to be the same without Rachel.
   *** Rachel's POV ***
   The Backyardigans is a very good show you should watch it. Anyways, I got a text so I picked up my phone.
Mom- I'm sorry honey I can't take the day off.
Me- It's okay I'll be fine
   Did I mention that my mom's a lawyer? Well, yeah, she is, and she can't exactly take the day off. Which I totally understand. I just wish Jacob was here.
   I go up into my room and stare out the window. I look at Jacob's house.
What am I going to wear to his party? Ugh. This is stressing me out.
   I pull out my MacBook Air and begin searching on the internet for a costume. I looked at Hot Topic and Party City, but everything they had in my size was adult and disgusting.
   I found this one dress, and it kind of reminded me of the doll Annabelle who was in The Conjuring. I think that's what I'm going to be. I texted my mom a picture of it to make sure it was okay.
Me- Can I buy this dress?
Mom- For Halloween?
Me- Yes
Mom- Okay. How much is it?
Me- $63
Mom- Okay. Buy it.
Me- Thanks
Mom- You're welcome
   So I bought the dress and closed my laptop. I hope I ordered the right size.
   I wonder how Jacob's doing without me.
   ***Jacob's POV ***
This day sucks.
Tori, again, was all over me in Science. So in the hallway, I told her off.
" Get off of me!" I told her. She had her arms wrapped around my waist.
" Whyyyy?" She pouted. " You loooove me!"
" No, I don't," Tori broke her grip when she heard me say that and frowned at me.
" Then who do you like?!" She was almost yelling now, in a tone that I'd never heard her in before.
" Rachel. I like Rachel, not you. Got it? Me and her are dating now. You and I are through. Don't text me, don't come over my house, don't talk to me, don't even look at me. I don't want you in my life anymore and you've only caused drama. Understand?"
She pouted at me and looked like she was about to cry. She started and went back to her normal face, so she was fake crying.
" Whatever, Sartorius," Tori laughs. " The only reason people like you is because you dated me now I get to tell you how big of a faker you are! Haha, sucker. Didn't need you anyway. Plenty of guys want me." She flipped her hair and walked away from me. I didn't care. If that was Rachel, on the other hand, I'd be balling my eyes out. Literally. I'd be on the floor. But it's not Rachel, so I don't care.
For the rest of the day, Tori was rude. In lunch, Tori was talking about me with her little group of minions that I met, and they're just like her. Petty and annoying.
She was giving me rude remarks and dirty glances, doesn't she know that I don't care? I sat with Becky and Silestia for lunch.
" Hey," I said to them. They both replied with hi.
" It's so boring without Rachel here," I sigh. They agreed.
That was it though, because we ate our lunch for the rest of the time. The rest of the day, everyone stayed quiet.
Once I got home, I immediately texted Rachel.
Me- Are you feeling better?
Rachel 😍💜- A little but I think I'll go to school tomorrow since tomorrow is Friday and I'll miss you guys
Me- Okay 💘
Rachel 😍💜- 💖
Me- Can I tell you something?
Rachel 😍💜- Of course
Me- Tori and I broke up a few days ago and I kind of blew up on her today... and I told her that we were dating
Rachel 😍💜- oh
Me- Yeah
Rachel 😍💜- We're not
Me- I know
Rachel 😍💜- Is that all you wanted to talk about??
Me- Yea pretty much
Rachel 😍💜- Oh... well I got a costume for your Halloween party
Me- What is it?
Rachel 😍💜- You'll have to wait and see
Me- No I want to know nowww
Rachel 😍💜- Ugh fine. It's Annabelle from The Conjuring
Me- Ooh interesting
Rachel 😍💜- I have to go, my mom will be home in an hour.
Me- Okay bye 💕
Rachel- Bye ❤
I hate how she's sick. It ruins things.
Anyways, I did nothing but homework for the rest of the day.
*** Rachel's POV ***
I hate how I'm sick. It ruins things.
Anyways, my mom would be home in less than an hour, and I was on my phone, eating beef jerky and watching Stranger Things for the entire day. Honestly, it's more fun than school, but my friends aren't here which makes me sad. Ugh.
An hour later
   I heard my door open and I looked over to see who it was. My mom.
   " Hey honey!" She went over to me on the couch and pulled me into a tight hug.
   " You look so much better," She told me. I nodded in agreement.
   " Does this mean you're going to school tomorrow?" Mom sits down on the couch next to me.
   " Yeah. I miss my friends, and it's kind of boring here." I lied, it's lit here, but I didn't want it to seem like I was faking being sick so I made it sound like it was extremely boring.
   " Yeah. When should that dress that you ordered come in the mail?" Mom asked.
   " I think it said next Thursday," I replied. She nodded.
   " Good, it'll be in time for Jacob's Halloween party. Will you be going trick or treating with them?"
   Trick or treating. Funny. Trick or treating is dumb, like just buy your own candy.
   " Maybe. I don't know if his family goes trick or treating." I focused more on the TV than my mom, which sounds bad, but this episode was interesting. Even though I've seen it like 5 times.
   " I'm going to do the dishes. If you need anything, just ask me."
I nodded and my mom went to do dishes. I went back on my phone and tried to get a better score on flappy bird.
A couple hours later
It was time for me to go to bed, and I felt so much better. Thank God I could go to school tomorrow.
I went into the bathroom and combed my hair for the first time in a while, I also brushed my teeth and did my normal skincare routine for my acne.
My pajamas were pretty basic, sweatpants and a large tee shirt. I wore my oversized white tee shirt and grey sweatpants to bed.
20 minutes later, as I was about to fall asleep, I got a text. I forgot to turn my brightness down, so when I looked at my phone, I was blinded for a few seconds. The text was from Jacob, no shocker there.
Jacob- Hey
Me- Hi
Jacob- Did I wake you?
Me- No, I was just about to go to bed.
Of course I lied, it was 9:30 at night for crying out loud.
Jacob- Oh
Me- So what do you need?
Jacob- I just want to know if you're going to school tomorrow. I don't want to go another day without you at school, because you're fun
Me- Thanks
That was sweet.
Jacob- You're welcome. You're coming to school tomorrow right?
Me- Yes, for sure this time. Will you walk with me to the bus stop?
Jacob- Of course
Me- Okay gn 💘
Jacob- Gn 💓
I was looking forward to seeing Jacob tomorrow.

I ship them so hard I can't stress that enough omg
Anyways... there will be a big time gap between the Halloween party and Christmas, because its unnecessary to write about every single one of their school days if nothing happens.
I can truly relate to Rachel in this chapter, my immune system hates me as well and I was Annabelle for one Halloween 😂
Have an amazinggg and great day!¡
Also
HAPPY NEW YEARS! 2016 is finally over. That year sucked
