Tooned

Chapter One

"Summer! Stop!" Jason laughed as one of his best friends tickled him. "No way! You eat my donut, you get tickled!" Summer giggled. Andre and Delilah walked into Jason's living room with sodas. "Guys, no more tickle war. We brought Coke and Mist." Andre put the two six packs on the coffee table. "Fine." Summer got off of Jason, who she was holding to the couch with her legs, and took a Sierra Mist. Jason took the same. "Summer, you need to stop with the tickles. We are almost graduated." Delilah flipped her long blue hair behind her shoulder. "Whatever. I love tickles!" Summer took a strand of red hair and made a moustache. "I don't!" Jason drank his Sierra Mist. Summer ruffled his messy red hair and giggled. "Guys. Stop it." Andre leaned back on the bean bag chair. "Awwwwe. Andre is sad becuase he isn't in on the fun!" Jason made a fake pouty face. "No, I'm not. Grow up." Andre gave a sly smile, barely noticeable. "Omg! Andre is smiling!!" Summer dropped her Mist on the floor tiles. "I'm not!" Andre turned his head. "Delilah, do it." Summer grinned. "Whatever. One tickle." Deliliah jumped onto Andre and started tickling him. "Hey-stop it!!" Andre laughed. "Why?" Delilah continued tickling Andre until she was tired. "I'm tickled out." She fell onto the floor, pretending to be dead. "Me, too." Andre said and fixed his leather jacket. Summer cleaned up the Mist and threw the towel into Jason's hamper. "Hey guys?" Jason turned his back to the others. "What is it?" Summer put a hand on his shoulder. "What's going to happen to us when we graduate? What's going to happen to our group? Our... Friends?" Jason frowned. Andre turned to look at him. Delilah crawled on to Andre's lap. He kissed her forehead. "I never thought about it that way...." Summer looked at Jason. "Have you ever felt lonely, even when you're around other people?" Jason asked, burying his face in a throw pillow. "I... Jason." Summer leaned on his back. "What?" Jason asked, slightly looking up at Summer, her long, strawberry hair in her eyes. She's so... pretty. Jason, stop it! She's just your friend, nothing more, nothing less... "We are your friends. It's okay to be sad around us sometimes. It's not weird." Delilah snuggled up against Andre's white T-shirt. "Yeah." Jason turned around and Summer fell into his lap. "Hi." She waved up at him. "Hi." He smiled.
