PROLOGUE; marshmallows

ੈ♡

ROWAN MOORE ARRIVED AT HER best friend, ethan morgan's house, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their other best friend, benny weir. benny had texted the pair, explaining he had a surprise for them and to meet at ethan's.

ethan's little sister, jane, was on the floor of the living room, absolutely sucked into the movie she was watching. rowan peaked into the living room to see what movie it was that jane was infatuated with. she realized it was a certain vampire movie, plaguing the earth.

'ugh, i hate dusk, it's inescapable.' the blonde groaned as she made her way back to the kitchen. she leaned against the dining room table and asked the taller boy, 'where's b?'

ethan looked down to his watch. 'three, two, one...'

benny slammed open the door right as ethan finished saying one. 'do not fret my friends, me and my surprise are here!' he grinned as he set down an excessive amount of sweets on the table.

'look at all this! what'd you do? rob an ice cream truck or something?' ethan questioned the taller boy, eyeing the candy. rowan beamed, her eyes were lit up like christmas trees making benny grin at his achievement.

'tomorrow, we officially join the high school brotherhood— sisterhood too.' benny announced, making sure to include his female friend. 'we are men— and a woman— we must mark the moment.'

rowan rolled her eyes at his attempt to include her, even though she loved it. she reached over benny's shoulder to grab a chocolate bar.

'let's make a sundae to end all sundaes!' ethan suggested excitedly. he grabbed the bag of mini marshmallows from off the table and turned to benny. 'remember in grade five when you put 176 of these in your mouth?'

'yeah, right! it was 186!' benny retorted.

'no way,' ethan scoffed. 'i did 172, you did 176!'

'you barely hit 150!' the taller boy told his friend. 'row, i know you know this!' rowan knew the exact numbers, as she had them hanging on her wall, on a sticky note.

'benny, you got 186, e got 163, i got 199.' rowan corrected, still chewing on her milky way. ethan and benny frowned at the fact that the blonde had somehow managed to get nearly 200 mini marshmallows in her mouth.

'redo?' benny suggested, diving for the bag.

rowan rolled her eyes, swiping her hair, which she had half up and half down, off her shoulders. 'you can't change me having a bigger mouth than you too.' she stretched the sides of her mouth with her fingers as she laughed.

the three began stuffing marshmallows in their mouth and incoherently blabbing about how many more they had than the other two.

'hey ethan! do you hear that?' jane asked from the living room. nobody responded, since they all were too busy stuffing their mouths full.

jane grabbed her doll and told it, 'teenagers really are dumb.' while no one was paying attention, the young girl slipped out the door.

she found the root of the problem quite quickly; a boy playing hockey with the wall. 'what are you doing?' jane questioned.

'what's it look like i'm doing?' the nameless boy answered.

'trespassing.'

'why don't you make like an egg and beat it.' the boy said.

'i'm gonna tell my big brother.' jane threatened, crossing her arms across her chest.

'really? i'm so scared.' the boy mocked. 'i've seen your brother. he may be older, but he's not big.'

inside, the trio were still stuffing their mouths up with marshmallows when rowan noticed jane had vanished. 'hay efan?' she slurred, her mouth sticky and full still.

the blonde ran over to the trashcan and spit out all her marshmallows. 'where's jane?' then, from outside the trio heard a loud high pitched scream.

'ethan!!'

the kids rushed outside and ethan spit out his marshmallows. 'hey.' he said timidly. 'you're home early, how was date night?'

benny, who had his arm around rowan, smiled, but instead of seeing the boy's teeth, you could only see marshmallows. 'spit them out, idiot!' rowan whispered, hitting the back of his head, which made marshmallows spew everywhere.
