Just Friends? (Ansel Elgort story)

Summer Rituals

Okay this is pretty short but oh well. I'm going through a rough time right now so I won't be updating as often. Anyways, Enjoy!

 As soon as I got down the stairs I sprinted to our porch, fixed my hair, and my sweats, and walked casually inside. As soon as I sat back down on the floor before I could even open my mouth to explain the situation...whack! "What the hell Tyler?!"I said flicking the popcorn out of my hair and clothes. I look up to see Tyler with the weirdest look on his face. "Somethings up...and you're not telling me."

 I try to hide my smile but I know nothings getting past him. "What are you talking about?" All of a sudden he lunges at me and starts tickling me. "Aaahhh Tyler stop!!!!!" I say in gasps and trying to claw away his hands. "Bitch you better tell me while you're smiling because I should be the only reason you're smiling!" He looks me dead in the eyes making sure I can tell he's serious.

  "Fine!" He stops. I sit on my elbows and mumble, "Imetaboyandhe'sstayingoverforthenight." "Um what?" He says confused. "I met a flipping boy and he's staying over for the night!" "There." I say and look up at him. For a moment he's silent and looks like he's in deep thought but then screams "YOU WHAT?" All of the sudden we hear a knock and I see the devil himself. Ansel is standing in the doorway looking worn out and out of breath leaning in the doorway. Then...nothing prepared me for what he said next. "Did he rape you or something?"

 Tyler and I look at each other and burst out laughing. We were both literally in tears. Tyler stood up and helped me off the ground before he spoke. "Haha not even close, even then I wouldn't rape her I mean look at her." He looked at me with a scrunched face, I hit him to shut him up. I then looked over at Ansel to see him looking so confused. "Well I heard you screaming and ran over here to see him on top of you and I didn't know what to think. Then I saw you smiling so I thought I'd knock first before walking in on you and you're boyfriend."

 Tyler holds in a giggle and now it's my turn to explain. "Um he's not my boyfriend...he's my best friend and he's well, gay." Tyler then steps up to Ansel, "Yeah so don't get any ideas babe." Ansel looks over at me and while staring at me says "Oh don't worry I've got my eyes on someone else." He winks then looks back to Tyler who is now frowning. Boy, this kid's moods change too quickly. "Okay we need to go over some rules then children. No sex on the table, couch, or any other piece of furniture in this house." I blush so hard and Ansel just scratches the back of his neck.

  "Well I assume you're staying so you can sleep on the floor with me." Tyler winks then moves to sit on the floor." Now it's just me and Ansel in a staring contest and I look away. "I guess that leaves me on the couch." I move to walk over to the couch and Ansel grabs my wrist. This is where I fan girl and think he is going to try to kiss me or something but no. *You just met him idiot* He leans in and says, "Where do you want me to put my stuff?" I shiver and calmly say, "Over in Tyler's room is fine." He walks away to take care of his stuff and I sit on the couch.

 I'm about to get ready to go to sleep when Ansel comes in and Tyler is looking at me with wild eyes. "What?" I finally say. "I have an idea and this is the perfect ritual for the beginning of this summer." I realize the look and what he is talking about. This is THE GAME of horror. Ansel sits down and looks intrigued with a smirk on his face. Of course he's knows what Tyler is talking about. "Tyler throws his hands up and screams, "TRUTH OR DARE!!!"
