ARIANA'S POV
"How'd you get the jar down?" I ask Reina as she walks into my room with the jar of cookies in her hand
"Um, Jim. He helped me get it down" she says taking a cookie from the jar
"Oh, I see you guys are getting along just fine"
"Yeah. He's really nice"
"And cute"
"Don't tell me you're crushing on my brother Reina"
"Do you want me to?" She asks smiling devilishly
"Seriously Reina. You do realise that none of us really know much about him, not even me who is he's sister"
"Yeah I know. Don't worry Ariana, I'm not gonna date him. At least not now" she says smiling and then I throw a pillow at her and we both burst into laughter
"Oh it's on" she says before picking up another pillow from my bed and then we begin a pillow fight. God I missed hanging out with Reina, she's always so much fun.
Sometimes I feel bad for putting them second all the time.

"God it's been so long since I laughed so hard" Reina says crashing on my bed after about 30minutes of pillow fighting
"You can say that again. This period hasn't been our best"
"Yeah. Being seniors, preparing for our final exams and applying for colleges"
"I haven't written any applications for college yet. Ughhhhh... We've got a lot of work to do don't we?"
"Yeah we do girl. I can't wait for this to be over"
"Me neither"
"Soooooo..." She begins cleaning invincible dirt from her nails "how's Jake?"
"He's fine girl. I never really thought I was gonna be happy again after we broke up, but now I'm truly happy after a lot of pain"
"I'm happy for the both of you" she says trying to smile but she's not successful
"Reina what's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Its just all the relationships I've been in haven't been so great you know. I don't think any of those despicable guys actually loved me more than I loved them"
"Oh Reina. Don't worry, everything will be fine" I say giving her a reassuring smile and she smiles back
"Well we have two options for tonight" I say sitting up "either we study now and go to sleep or we study now then go downstairs to watch a movie or do something else"
"You are crazy if you think that I came Here to study and not have fun along the way Ariana. I'm sure there's no need for me to answer because we both know the answer to that question. Common girl, we hardly spend time together these days, let's take advantage of the moment and just have fun"
"Fine we'll watch a movie after but it'll take the grace of God for me to not fall asleep because I'm so tired right now. I don't even know if I'll be able to study" I say laying back down on my bed in a fit to prove my point
"I'll kill you"
"Ohhhhh I'm scared" I say feigning a terrified face
"Common go get your calculus textbook. We'll start from there" she says getting hers out of her back pack
*******
"So when you multiply the both of them and divide my 2, you'll get your answer. Please tell me you finally understand" Reina says after explaining a very complicated formula for me
