It was now winter break, and my excitement for it was almost unbelievable. I finally get to get away from all the stress of school, the homework, boring lectures, and having no time to do what I want. Now I had a lot of time to catch up on things. I felt sense of relief, a weight lighted off my chest, and sent God knows where.

Still tired from waking up, I hop out of bed, and head to my bathroom to splash some cold water on my face. As I am walking to the bathroom, I stretch and yawn a lot. After my episode on stretching, and yawning ended I turn on the water. Before putting my hands in the water to rid of my tiredness, I see how many bags I have under my eyes.

"Oh, joy," I mumble as I start cupping my hands and throwing water on my face.

The cold water seemed to wake me up a lot, and help me function more. Weird.

I grab a towel, and wipe off my face. Looking in the mirror again I see I look a tad better, and smirk at myself in the mirror. Leaving the bathroom I head out my room to go downstairs like I'd usually do.

"Yes, no more school for over two weeks!" I yell out loud to no one in particular while walking out of my room.

"I hear someone's excited," my Mom said. Her voice coming from downstairs.

"Well yeah Mom," I laughed. "It's break, and Terry is coming over tomorrow!"

"I bet that'll make you happy. I miss that friend of yours. She use to always make you so happy and cheerful. You just don't act the same anymore since she was gone," my Mom said, sounding kind of worried.

"Well, it's just it's hard for me to make friends you know, but don't worry about me, I'm fine," I said, smiling at my mom, while walking into the kitchen to eat breakfast.

I thought to myself for a moment. I knew I couldn't just say, I was fine. Having no friends to talk to at school, or hang out with was killing me. I wouldn't let it show, but I knew it would come out eventually.

Ever since I was little it was very difficult to make even one friend. If I did make a friend they would get tired of me. Then throw me away like I was trash. Each year for me got tougher, and tougher till 2nd grade I met Terry. She never got tired of me and was glad to have a friend like her.

Throughout the day I read the rest of my horror book. Which was a little too scary for me at points. I cleaned my room up more even though it was already pretty clean. Being the "everything has to be perfect person" I am. It was just an habit.

Surprisingly the day was almost over, and I was about to go to bed. My thoughts raced as I realized how close I was to seeing my friend again. This was a very big moment, and I couldn't believe it was almost here. Trying to occupy my thoughts my read my other book I found while over cleaning today.

I read the book for around twenty minutes, but then my eyes became tired, and my body felt right from being so tired. I yawn as I close my book, and start to get my bed ready for bed. Even with me being so tired, I still feel over excited for tomorrow.

"Ugh" I tiredly say. Going to sleep tonight will be impossible. I get to see Terry for the first time in months. This is too exciting. I don't think I can sleep, I thought to myself.

Somehow sleep overtook me and I fell into a deep comfortable sleep. Having a dream that I can't recall no matter how many times I have it.

"Wake up!" my Mom yells as she comes into my room.

"What?" I ask as I rub my eyes stretching. My head was kind of foggy from all the thinking last night. All of the sudden it came to me. "Oh my god, how could I of forgotten??! Terry is coming over to spend the night!"

"You and your silly brain," my Mom laughed.

"Yeah I know mom," I smile. Quickly I ran downstairs to eat breakfast, then I realize something. I forgot to take off my pajamas. "I'm so smart" I sarcastically say as I run back upstairs to change.

About two hours later I'm sitting on the porch waiting for Terry. Then I see it. A car slowly comes up towards my house and I see her in the passenger seat.

"Lacy!!" she runs towards me with her arms spread out and a big goofy smile on her face.

We hugged each other, so tightly I don't think either of us could breathe. "You don't even know how happy I am to see you again. I've missed you more than you would ever know," I say almost crying. We stopped hugging after what seemed like forever and walked into my house.

"So how's California?" I ask Terry as she sets up our camp for the night more of a fort I would say though.

"Well," she says just kind of staring at me blankly. "It's of course always nice weather. There's tons of cool people, and weird saying people will use,"

"Sounds like you enjoy it right?" I grinned at her. She seemed to nod off from reality for a second, then pick up what I said.

"What? Oh! Sorry I just got lost in a thought for a second. But yeah, I do it's lots of fun there you'd really like it,"

"Cool!" I excitedly say. There's a pause for a moment as she is building the fort.

"So what about you?" she asked me with a fixed expression.

"Everything is fine. I don't know nothing has really changed honestly," staring down at the floor as I say that in a somewhat quiet voice.

"Uh friends?" she asks me getting closer, while sounding hopeful I would respond with "of course" or "sure I've made tons"

"Um, well I haven't made any. Really I don't have any friends.." I pause. I can't help, but think I'm a disappointment to her now.

"That's okay!" She tells me.

I look at her a bit surprised. "Really?"

"Of course, Lacy," she crawls over to me and hugs me. I hug her back, and am glad she hasn't changed from the last time I saw her.

We stopped hugging after a few moments, and Terry smiled at me. I smiled back.

"What do you want to do?" She asked me fixing our fort we made a bit, so it wouldn't fall apart.

I think for a second about what we could do first. There's so many things we could, then I thought of something.

"I have a idea we should watch our favourite movie, Carrie," I say excited.

Terry gets all excited inside the fort causing it to shake a little. She notices that, and clams downs a bit, but is now laughing.

"I don't know why I am laughing so hard, but yes we should do that," she says still laughing a lot.

I grab a pillow from the side of the couch from where the beginning of the fort is made ( not causing it fall apart though) and gently hit Terry in the back of the head with it. "Weirdo," I say giggling.

She laughs as well, and grabs the pillow out of my hands and throws it to the side. I frown at her in a silly way, and stand up and I walk over to a stand with many movies, and I look through the movies. I look through them for about five seconds before I find the movie, Carrie. It's the classic one, and although the second movie in the way can be better at times. The original is always the best to me, and hopefully Terry, but I don't know for sure.

"I got it," I say as pull it out, and turn around to Terry.

She stands up, and stretches while yawning a bit. "Want me to make some popcorn, while you put it in and get everything started?" she asks me.

"Sounds like a plan," I say as I open up the movie, and put the disc in.

Shortly after I hear popcorn popping, and I now have the movie all set up for us. I hear the popping become very violent, then it slowly died down and the beeping of the microwave came up, and I heard Terry open up the microwave and take the bag out. She opens up the bag, and pours it all in a bowl. She walks in the living room with the popcorn, and starts to sit down.

"Did you get the sodas," I say to her.

She grunts, and walks back into the kitchen. I giggle at her, and eat a couple pieces of popcorn. I hear her walk back in and sit beside me. She hands me a soda, and we start the movie. The movie begins and we glue our eyes to the screen, munching on popcorn, and gulping down our drinks. We're over a hour in the movie, and I notice Terry's eyes are starting to close. She's about to fall asleep.

"You tired?" I ask her shaking her arm.

"Hm? Oh, yeah a bit actually," she yawns.

I then turned off the movie, and turned off the TV. I put the remote to the side, and yawn. Probably caught it from Terry.

"Guess we should sleep, huh?" I say as I get a blanket, and cover us both up.

She makes a grunting noise, and comes closer to me, and wraps her arms around me. "You're warm," she laughs in my hair.

"Well, you're weird," I chuckle as get myself in the perfect position to sleep.

"Be prepared for tomorrow you're gonna need all the strength you can possibly mange" Terry says in a sleepy voice.

"Why?" I whisper with my eyes lightly closed.

"For the secret," she whispers, and pulls me closer seeming to fall asleep instantly.

Is this a bad secret, or a good secret? I thought as I felt myself relax and go to another world, the dream world.
