I stepped inside the house, and Hannah immediately greeted me with a smoothie as a "thank you" for helping her out. I don't usually like smoothies all that much, especially green smoothies like she gave me, but the stuff she made was really good and I chugged it down. As I sat at the kitchen table and tried to dry off by the AC, Ryder and his girlfriend came up from the basement and joined me. Ryder's girlfriend was still a little scared, but was calming down. Ryder, on the other hand, was bored and trying to start stuff with me.
"Keep your gross paws off me!" I growled as I scooted away from him.
"Make me!" Ryder smirked.
"No! Just... go away! Last time you got near me I almost got pink eye! So just like, leave!" I said as Ryder continued to playfully poke and punch at me.
Ryder laughed, and then reached down to grab my leg, and I fought back this time. Pretty soon, we were both on our feet. I grabbed a sharpie off the table, pulled off the lid, and chased Ryder around the house with it. Ryder grabbed a mini hockey stick off the couch nearby, and this time I was the one who was running. He chased me outside, and I picked up a fallen branch to defend myself. Ryder and I beat the crap out each other on the muddy front lawn, and finally stopped when he whacked me where I was slammed by a car door. I dropped to my knees laughing, and called him a few vulgar names, and he almost felt bad for hitting me where it actually hurt. Keyword: Almost.
