I smiled as I put my phone in my pocket.

"Oh my god" Dan exclaimed clearly annoyed. "Let's go, I'm really hungry"

I looked him up and down, he wasn't even dressed and was poking his head out from his room.

"Hey! I'm all dressed it's you who's gonna be late" how typical of him, our taxi's gonna be here any minute and he's still deciding on a sweater. Popping his head back in he reappeared after 2 whole minutes. We grabbed our jackets and after helping each other into our own we got out, seating ourselves in the taxi. He instantly took out his phone and checked some tweets or something, I'm not sure what. My mind was preoccupied by today's events. It was pretty eventful and I was really tired.
My eyes jerked open as the cab came to a hault infront the sushi place. I payed the driver as dan got out. Both of us were feeling really cranky at this point, we were exhausted and hungry. As we sat down and ordered we talked about all the events of the day we hardly had time to speak to each other properly all day.
"Is your head pounding too?" Dan asked setting his hair for the billionth time since we left home.

"Yes it's pretty bad" I said slightly clutching my head with one of my hands.

Slouching in his seat Dan said, "we can't possibly upload this week"

"Yes that DDR video needs quite a lot of editing frankly." I snorted at it's memory. That was a very awkward but very funny video.

His lips turned up into a smile as the flicker of memory passed his eyes as well, "they're gonna go bonkers with it" he laughed. "That's the most dancing either one if us has ever done." He hid his face with his hand in embarrassment.

" Dancing?! It was more of you stepping on my feet, you were very into it." I reminded him.

"Right. I'm sorry about that, I was putting too much concentration on it."
He said laughing.

I joined in his terrible laughter and we made a few people turn and glare at us.
Quietening down I suddenly remembered that weird handshake from earlier that day and spoke up very suddenly off topic, "Do you think by any chance, that intern Vivian was pranking us?"

Dan gave a vey confused expression "what?! On earth are you talking about?" He chuckled

"You mean, you didn't feel it?" I asked rubbing my right palm with my left fingers "that handshake!!" I exclaimed.

His face remained the same, of amused bewilderment.

"No honestly! When she shook my hand. I think she buzzed me!" I was very surprised now. "Like bzzzzt" I showed him with my hand. It was difficult to explain it was like that shock pen that i had bought but a little less shock and something else with it, some weird pretty feeling I can't put in words.

But dan was having none of it. "Phil." He glared at me, which I seriously had no idea why. "And how do you think she accomplished that?" His tone was now of complete and utter amusement.

"With those handshake buzzy thingy" I complied.

He burst into peals of laughter the second time. "Please tell me you don't actually think she pranked you with one of those bzzzzt things!" He was clutching his stomach now.

"Yes! Yes she did" i insisted.

"Okay figure me this" he said subduing his laughter. "Firstly why would anyone be using those buzzer kind of things to prank anyone in this decade!"
