Prologue

"Hey, Jacob?" Carter said.

"Yeah?" Jacob replied.

"Were you listening at all?" Jacob noticed the pissed off tone in his friend, and active nagger's, voice.

He rolled his eyes and smiled at Carter's annoyance. Did she really expect him to listen to her rants all the way through? Impossible. She may have been his friend since childhood but there was such a thing as too much ....Carter.

"Probably not." Jacob ducked his head a little when Carter shot him a glare.

"At least pretend you care!" Carter said with her hands on her hips.

"Can't really pretend."

"Try." She glared again, seeing Jacob nod in agreement to his own statement. Jacob sighed and sat back in his chair after setting down his big ass book bag.

This fucking school wants to kill us with all these textbooks.

He said to himself while propping his feet on his desk. He leaned back a little in his chair, and took note of Carter's disapproving look. The teacher wasn't here yet so Jacob could give less fucks about being 'disrespectful to school property.'

"Fine, what were you saying? Because I very much care and would like to know!" He primped, faking a smile and gasping with a mock excited expression.

"You dick." Carter said smiling, showing off a proud set of straight white teeth, before smacking Jacob across the head lightly and going straight back into rant mode.

"You know about YouNow right?" Jacob thought for a little and then shook his head.

"Not re-" He started before Carter excitedly cut him off.

"Well, they're having a convention. This weekend! Can you believe it! It's nearby too!!" She squealed jumping up and down in excitement while clapping like a little school girl.

Jacob stared at her, raising an eyebrow at her unnatural reaction to something as simple as a convention. To others Carter might look like ...well a fucking crazy bitch all day everyday, but to Jacob, it was a rare sight to see her so pumped up about something. I mean Carter had her extreme fangirl moments from time to time but this here was just straight up unnatural.

"Jacob!" Carter shouted before he was whacked in the head again. A lot harder than the first time and it definitely did not feel like Carter's hand.

"What?! I was listening that time!" He yelled indignantly while rubbing the sore spot on his head.

"You!" Carter stated, pointing a rolled up notebook at him. Jacob assumed that was the deadly weapon used on his poor head.

He braced his hands in front of himself leaning back a little while Carter got in his face. "You sir, are coming with me!" She said, almost proudly while poking Jacob in the chest with the notebook.

"Nnnnnooo." Jacob drawled slowly and then squeezed his eyes shut for the tremendous ass beating that would come after the word.

"N-no?" Carter said quietly.

Jacob was not expecting that. Why wasn't Carter trying to commit murder yet? He slowly peeled his eyes open, then groaned loudly once he took a good look at Carter's face. She wanted to play her favorite game, the Guilt Trip! Jacob knew he was about to lose the battle. Carter was his best friend and all but sometimes he really wanted to do something like murder a pig and blame it on her. Course he could always eat one of his dad's pork chops and tell him Carter did it. It was kind of frustrating for Jacob. Carter knew how to get him to do whatever she wanted. Jacob hated it when she cried ....or fake cried in this case.

"Y-you really w-w-won't come wi-with meee?" Carter's bottom lip shook dramatically then came the big fat tears that Jacob could fucking swear were timed perfectly.

The tears ran ....almost like they were fucking choreographed from her eyes. Jacob groaned, and admittedly pouted because he was so dang weak to Carter's tears. But this time he didn't want to back down. So he stupidly opened his mouth and tried to say "Nn-na-" He looked at Carter's tear streaked face "-aaaaww yeah! "

Fuck.

"Yaay!!" Carter squealed. Her small arms wrapped around Jacobs neck.

If only I could kick my own ass-

was his thought at the moment. If Carter was this excited about something, it had to be some girly shit that would leave him bored out of his mind.

"Can you at least tell me what Youn-"

"I'm so fucking happy!! You're the best!" Carter screamed while squeezing Jacob's neck waay harder than necessary.

For someone so small Carter was so much stronger than him. "Air, Jacob needs air." He cried, clawing at her forearm when she tightened the grip.

"Do you think we should dress up for it?! I mean of course people don't really dress up and all but you're definitely not wearing sweatpants you hear?" Carter said sternly.

She finally let go of his neck and Jacob stayed standing, bracing his hands on the desk while his face turned back to it's normally color. This Carter was way beyond what he'd dealt with before. She was way beyond too much.

"Is this fuckin' convention worth ....killing me over?" He gasped dramatically, placing a hand in his chest.

Carter looked like she was thinking hard for a moment before she nodded rapidly. She had the biggest grin on her face while staring up at Jacob with extremely happy eyes. Jacob could have sworn he saw unicorns and rainbow floating around in them. He'd never seen her look so damn ....elated before.

There was no way he could say no to her now.

Better free up the weekend.

"I'm really happy Jakey." Carter said her smile going impossibly wider.

Jacob huffed, before pulling the smaller girl into a hug. She crushed herself into his chest before tapping a finger to his stomach. "I love you but your fat ass won't be getting any snacks until we get to the convention."

Jacob could literally feel her shaking from excitement. She squeezed his waist in her steel grip while sighing happily every now and then. It was moments like these where his classmates assumed that he and Carter were an item. They couldn't be more wrong. Carter was like his sister, yeah she was pretty, and smart, and fun, everything he liked in a girl, but she had been with him for so long. She was like family, so imagine the gag sessions he and Carter had while imagining ever being a couple.

"I want to know what Youn-" Carter cut him off. Again!

"Hush, baby. Don't spoil the moment for me." She sighed in content. They swayed in their hug before a throat clearing caught their attention.

"Mr. Jacob, Ms.Carter my room is not a love house. Please take your seats while I prepare today's presentation." Heads turned towards the two as most of their class gave the hugging pair a smirk.

"Yes, sir!" Carter saluted before shoving Jacob away and practically hopping into her seat.

Jacob stood for a moment before shaking his head and smiling at the crazy girl. She was so random at times, but that was Carter for you. Always something weird to expect. As Jacob took his seat and turned towards the front he thought about what to expect at the convention.

Carter still hadn't told him what YouNow was but Jacob would Google it later. He hoped to God it wasn't some sparkly girly shit. Carter was great but ....Jacob could only handle so much.

I'm such a pussy. He mused, pouting to himself and tapping his pencil on the desk while his teacher went on with her lecture.
