Simon and Josh tried to hit the crossbar while Vik laid in the short grass off to the side. Josh could barely even hit it high enough. Then Simon stepped up once again and hit the bar.
"Ha! Pay up." Simon had made a bet with Vik that he could hit the crossbar first.
"Sorry mate but I'm broke." Vik put his hands in his pockets with a cheeky grin.
"You lied to me?" Simon ran up to him and grabbed his legs. Josh followed him but grabbed Vik's arms instead. They lifted him up and started swinging him. Vik just laughed uncontrollably.
"Oi, whatcha doing to little Vikky?" Harry came through the gate. He peeked his head in every now and then. Harry is always hiding somewhere.
"He ain't got money to pay me!" Simon announced, setting Vik's feet on the ground.
"Rough." Harry ruffled Vik's hair. "What was he suppose to pay you for?"
"He bet I could hit the crossbar first." Josh chimed in. Then the fence jingled. Tobi stood there, leaned against it with his hands wrapped around the chain links.
"There are my three favourite people!" Tobi exclaimed. He was wearing his jean jacket as he does everyday.
"What about me?" Harry pouted. Tobi eyed him up and down.
"No." Tobi's upper lip curled. Simon, Vik, and Josh all giggled silently.
"Do you want to play a game with us?" Josh held up the football.
"Sure, as long as I'm not on the same team has Harry." Tobi walked around to the front. It was very hard to play with five people so they had to work around that, but after an hour Tobi offered to get them something to eat. The boys accepted and went down to a pizza parlor.
"That would've been way more fun if we had more people." Harry said.
"Definitely." Simon agreed.
"We could invite, Ethan." Vik inquired. Simon didn't feel entirely okay with that but what he had said the other day wasn't aimed at Simon.
"What do you guys want? It's on me." Tobi told them. It was a good thing it was on him since no one else had money.
"Wait... where do you get money from?" Vik raises an eyebrow.
"It's called a job." Tobi said with attitude. "I'm seventeen in case you didn't know. I work and have a car." he informed them. It actually surprised Josh that he is two years older than him. It made sense now why he never saw Tobi in the halls except for lunch. After the ordered and got their slices they sat down in a booth by the window.
