•Chapter 9: Nerf Gun Fight

Sam's POV

It's been a week since the police incidence. The punishment is over and life is kinda back to normal. All week I've caught Tyler looking at me weird but I put it to the back of mind as painting and decorating my room has become my top priory. I've completely finished painting the graffiti type thing above the stairs and painted the stairs and ceiling.

I rolled over in bed to see my alarm clock showing 9:43 am. I decide that should be a good enough time to get up. I get up and head over to my wardrobe. I pick out a pair of black skinny jeans, a red over the shoulder top and pair of black converse. I was about to turn around when I happened to look down and see to a box. Sticking out was a pair of black braces/suspenders. I pick them up too. I head downstairs to the girls bathroom and have a shower and get changed. The last thing I put on is the braces and after I fasten them I leave them hanging instead of putting them on properly.

After I put my pj's back in my room I head downstairs to the kitchen. As I walk in I see Tee sitting with Carmen eating breakfast.

"Hey" I say as I wonder over to the cereals. They both say morning back and go back to their conversation.

"What you talking about?" I ask after getting my shreddies.

"We were just talking about how many week until we have half term". I nod at them but then start to think. They have been back for about four weeks so that means they have two weeks left before half term starts. After that I have to got back to school....great. I ate the rest of my cereal in silence. When I finished my cereal I went in the living room to find everyone there (Tee and Carmen left earlier). They all looked really bored.

"Ok. What happened?" I asked in the doorway.

"Because of Electra, Mike has banned us all from the tv, computer and everything else" Faith says. I saw Electra roll her eyes.

"Is that it?" I asked. Suddenly the while room erupted with complaints. I held my hand up to stop the yelling. I looked at them all before seeing a nerf gun on the table. I smirked as an idea formed in my head.

"I have an idea. How about we have a nerf gun fight?" I said pointing at the gun. I saw that some were on board straight away others not so much.

"Come on, it will be fun" I said to them picking up the gun.

"I think it would be fun. Come on guys?" Rick said from the pool table. Murmuring was heard all around the room.

"Fine"
"Cool"
"If we have to"

Soon everyone was on board and Tea and Johnny had gone to get the guns from the cupboard. I was leaning on the door frame when Rick turned to me and said, "Your wearing braces". I looked up to see everyone looking at me.

"What?" I asked confused. He walked around the pool table where he was sat and came up to me. He pointed at the braces connected to my jeans. I nodded and looked up to see Rick really close to me.

"I felt like wearing them" I said to him knowing everyone was looking our way. He smiled his cute smile.

"Cool" he said and looked like he was going sat something else when tee an Johnny returned with the guns. We both to a step away from each other while everyone grabbed a gun. Johnny chucked two for me and Rick to have. I nodded as thanks.

After ten minutes of deciding the arrangements we say it was every man for himself. At the moment I was hiding behind a tree in the backyard waiting someone. Suddenly Jody came running around the corner being followed by Faith. They were shooting each other so I snuck behind them and shot them both. They both looked at me with smirks. With that I ran for it while they shot at me. I was laughing till I ran into someone. They grabbed me bay the waist and then we were surrounded by everyone. I looked up to see the person still holding my waist.

Rick.

"Your surrounded. Surrender and give us your guns" Floss said oblivious to everyone smirking at us and at each other. I looked around and the only way out was by the stairs to the kitchen. I looked at Rick and it looked like he got the same idea.

"Hi Mike" Rick said pointing behind Faith and Electra. The attention was off us for long enough to push past Carmen and Jody. Rick grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the office and into the cupboard next to it.

"Ok. I think we at safe" Rick said still holding my hand. Not that I minded. He had his ear against the door listening for the others.

"I think they are going upstairs" he said and then looked down at our hands and slowly let go. We looked awkwardly at each other for second before looking away. I sat down on the plastic boxes while he sat on the empty shelf.

"How long do we have?" I asked him.
"10 minutes maybe longer". We sat in silence for 5 minutes before I asked a question which I wished I didn't afterwards.
"How are you and Olivia?".
"Brilliant".
"How long have you been going out?".
"A month and a bit".
"Must be great".
He looked at me but didn't respond.
"Isn't it?".
"Yeah. She's brilliant" he said but then said quietly,"just like you". I smiled but that didn't last long when the door was pulled open. We grabbed our guns and started shooting.
"Stop...ow..." a voice said. We looked properly and saw Mike. We lowered our guns and have him big cheesy grins. He just pointed for us to get out.

Well that was fun...
