CHAPTER FIVE
ITS JUST A HANDSHAKE, SCOBELL.
𐐪✭𐑂
The group was hanging out together outside near the bookstore, seated by the outdoor tables. Momona and McKenna were filming a TikTok, while Walker and Harper were working on a new handshake.
Harper had a large original gourmet lollipop in her mouth, making it difficult for her to speak.
"Okay, so, go like this, and maybe, like..." Walker instructed, focused, while Harper tried to follow his hand movements.
Walker nodded, "Okay, I think we got that part down. Let's start from the beginning." Harper nodded in agreement.
As they started their handshake, Harper missed a part, causing Walker to drop his hand and sigh, "Dude! Aryan and I didn't have this much trouble with ours."
Harper furrowed her brows, "๒єςคยรє א๏ย ﻮยאร ๔เ๔ภ't єשєภ ๓คкє เt!" she exclaimed, her words not coming out as well.
Walker narrowed his eyes and laughed, "What?" he said, still chuckling.
Harper sighed and removed the lollipop from her mouth, "I said, you guys didn't even come up with the handshake! You totally ripped it off from Spider-Man. Making something from mind is harder." She put the lollipop back in her mouth.
Walker mockingly nodded, "Yeah, okay, whatever. Just let me show you what you missed."
Malachi walked out of the bookstore, holding a large bag in one hand and his phone in the other. "Guess who's back!" he said with a smile, placing his bag on the same table where Momona and McKenna were sitting.
Momona gasped, "Dude, we're filming here!" she said, moving the bag away and stopping the recording.
"Another TikTok?" Malachi asked, leaning closer to see the phone screen. "You literally made one like 20 minutes ago."
"Yeah, but this time it's on McKenna's account," Momona explained, gesturing towards McKenna.
Harper stopped practicing her handshake with Walker and took the lollipop out of her mouth. "And they've been messing up for the past 10 minutes. The audio is drilled into my brain at this point," she chuckled.
Walker glanced at Harper. "Hello? We need to get this handshake together, Thorne," he said.
Harper tilted her head. "It's just a handshake, Scobell," she laughed, before putting the lollipop back in her mouth.
Malachi looked over at Harper, raising his eyebrows in realization. "Oh, Harper, remember Aidan?" he said, dragging out the boy's name as he approached her. Harper nodded at Malachi's response.
