Paper rings ~ Dodge Mason

Player's ball.

Paige walked down the street with her backpack on her left shoulder and her hair just flowing normally in the summer breeze.
she was heading towards the grocery store to pick up a few things that she ran out if at the house.
As she looked around she felt back for the store owners since it was covered in paintball splatters.
"Hey Dodge." Paige greeted. He was outside trying to clean up the paintball splatters.
"Hey Paige, where are you headed?" He asked.
"The grocery store." She answered, continuing her walk.

She sighed looking for the right type of milk, she needed a special kind because Crew got sick if he had any other milk.
"Yes." She whispered under her breathe, grabbed the milk carton.
She grabbed Milk, eggs, and a few snacks and easy dinners for the next week or so.
"Thank you." She said to the cashier as she walked out.
"Hey Nat." Paige walked into the pharmacy.
"Hey Paige, what's up?" She smiled.
"Nothing much, just came back from the store." Paige sighed.
"I'm proud of you, Paige." She said.
"What do you mean?" Paige asked.
"You'll do anything for your brothers. You work hard every day just to keep them on track. Your gonna be a great mother one day." Natalie smiled.
"Awwww Nat!" Paige hugged her.
The two girls heard a knock on the window.
It was Heather with three drinks and a huge smile.

"Ooo what do you think? huh? manic pixie dream girl, tragic ingenue, dangerous seductress." Natalie said.
"Uh what?" Heather said.
"It's outfits! players ball?" Heather said.
"Paige, you know what i'm talking about, right?" Natalie looked at her.
"Yeah, it happens every year." Paige said, taking a sip of her drink.
"mmm ok let me think, what about tragic, pixie, suductress. " Heather said.
"That's a really good one." Paige laughed.
Natalie chuckled softly as she sipped her drink. Heather and Paige watched as Dodge crossed the street.
"you tell us everything, right?" Heather asked.
"yeah, why? what you wanna know?" Natalie asked, not looking up from her phone.
"Nothing just like if you had a secret you would tell us, right?" Heather asked.
"oooo Heather, look, it's not a secret you and Bishop are like stupid in love it's just a cliche." Natalie said.
"Whooo, whoa, wait!" Heather said.
"No?" Paige said.
"that's not- that's not what i meant." Heather shook her head.
"Uh huh?" Natalie smiled.
"Ok? it was just more of a philosophical question." Heather said.
"Oh. of course." Natalie said.
"Do you remember that list of names i found in sperlock's tunnels?" Heather asked.
"You know that means the judge was with us, right?" Heather said.
Paige looked at the ground trying to think.
"It's gotta be Ray. His grandfather use to own that land. I mean, i bet he picked it for the underground so he could like run down and make names of who ever made it inside." Paige said.
"Maybe." Heather said.
"Who else could it be?" Natalie sided with Paige.
Heather sighed.
"Bishop and I are not in love." Heather said.
"Oh my gosh." Paige scoffed.
"i mean every time you guys make eye contact it's like your eye balls turn into tongues" Natalie teased, making kissing noises.
"Okay! first of all, that's disgusting, second of all he's my best friend." Heather defended herself.
"Ya know, your right. it's not cliche to be in love with your best friend." Natalie said.
"It's just the number one google search term." Paige joked.
As Natalie and Paige laughed Heather slapped Paige in the arm playfully.
"You guys are delusional." Heather said once they stopped laughing.
"Your procrastinating." Natalie said.
Heather sighed before putting her backpack on her shoulder.
"Where are you going?" Paige asked.
"I have to get Lilly from camp." Heather got up.
"Fine." Natalie said, taking another sip of her drink.
"Procrastinating!" Paige yelled out to heather.
"Okay." Heather said in the distance.
"They're so in love." Natalie chuckled.
"Obviously. why else would she run away so fast?" Paige smirked.
"Ok, i have to get back to work. Love you." Natalie got up, leaving Paige alone.
Paige sat there and stared at the floor for awhile. Dodge noticed from the window. Why was she just sitting there alone?
After about 30 minutes Paige got up and made her way home.
"Guys! are you still alive?" Paige came in, throwing her bag on the floor and walked deeper into the house.
"yeah, we're all here." Grey said.
"How was camp, Grey?" Paige asked, starting to put the groceries away.
"it was ok. Me and Lilly talked a lot about books. Said she was gonna give me hers when she was done." Grey explained not looking up from the magazine he was reading.
"That's good. Mom got you, right? you didn't walk home?" Paige questioned.
"Mom picked me up but she dropped me off at the house. She said she was going out and she'll be back by 10." Grey explained.
"hm." Paige nodded.
"Wheres Crew?" Paige asked.
"Napping." Grey said.
Paige made her way into the boy's room to see Crew passed out on his bed. Paige sighed knowing he's not gonna be getting up anytime soon.
"have you eaten?" Paige asked.
"No, i ate at camp." Grey said.
"Ok, i'll make some chicken nuggets." Paige said, setting the oven before getting the chicken nuggets ready to cook.
