I make my way back to the hotel, walking passed the neighborhood only a block away. Which happened to be Lucas's street. He was outside with Jayden, the two of them were laughing as Michael was about to eat a worm. "Oh, gross. Don't do that." Michael looks relieved and lowers the worm."No, he's gotta. He lost a bet." Lucas smirks. "Make him do something else. That's just cruel...and gross." I snarl my nose. "Come on, it's funny!" Jayden says. "You eat one then." "Ew, no." "That's what I thought." "Come on a bets a bet." Lucas says to Michael. Michael snarls his face as he once again raises the worm, I smack the worm out of his hand and grab the small bowl of worms. I walk over to the other two and slip one in each of their shirts then run off. "Oh you're gonna pay for that!!" Lucas yells and chases after me. Jayden struggles to shake the worm out as Michael is holding his knees, laughing silently. "A little help?!" Jayden shivers as the worm moves. "I can't. I'm sorry. It's just too- it's too funny!" "Jerk!" Jayden laughs and throws a worm at Michael who quickly dodges it.
"Get back here!" Lucas yells, still chasing after me. "Gotta catch me first!" I turn a corner and run down the block, Lucas catches up and tackles me to the ground. The two of us landing in the grass. "Gotcha!" We both laugh. There's a small pause, our smiles lingering. Before Lucas clears his throat and stands up. He reaches his hand out for me to grab. "Thanks." "Yeah. Well I should get back." "Yeah. Right. I should get back to the hotel before my dad's have a stroke, specifically-" "Eddie." We both laugh. "Yeah." "Well, see you tomorrow." "Mhm. Bye Lucas." "Bye Y/n."
