Falling For The Enemy

Chapter 29 (Surprises)

'Hey Analise can I talk to you for a sec?' Seth asked with a voice so serious I predicted it would be suitable in an meeting with the president! Analise? Seth never uses my full name, this is not going to be very good!

'Urm yeah sure,' I nodded and watched him as he turned his back and started walking towards the field at the back of the school. The grass was wet from dew drops as it was quite early and it tickled my feet as I trudged across to the far side behind him. The sun was casting a yellowy glow across the sky and I bathed in its warm rays. Summer was definitely an amazing season! We stopped walking as we reached one of the corners of the field away from the chattering crowd. For a moment there was complete silence as we just stood there awkwardly wondering how to start a conversation.

'So Ani I just wanted to tell you...I...I'm sorry..' he mumbled looking down towards the wet grass. I furrowed my eyebrows trying to process what he had just said until a grin finally made its way to my face stretching from an ear to another.

'Hmm is Seth Nickles saying sorry?' I laughed lifting his chin up so he was facing me and my taunting expression.

'Don't get too ahead of yourself I'm only saying sorry because of your bad friendship skills!' he smirked as my mouth hung open in protest and I narrowed my eyes at him accusingly.

'I have bad friendship skills? ME?' I gaped slapping him lightly on the arm as he feigned pain as I simply continued, 'Nickles you have got to stop describing yourself!'

'Anster you are clearly mistaken I am talking about you!' he exclaimed hopelessly as I laughed and stuck my tongue out at him screaming 'LOSER' then sprinting away.

'Oh you are soooo dead! Your going to die laughing!' he threatened taking of after me. I know exactly what this meant it was the announcement of a tickle war! I continued running and didn't bother looking behind afraid it would slow me down. My chest hurt from the giggles and extra work I was making it do. Without realising I made the mistake to take a peek behind me and see Seth dangerously close then trip over my own feet. I fell to the ground with a thud landing on the hard grassy floor and unintentionally resulting in Seth tripping over me and landing in a heap too. We both groaned in pain as I rubbed my sore arse and him his head. Then glancing at eachothers pain stricken faces a roaring laughter emersed in the atmosphere until both of us had difficulty breathing.

'Your such a retard!' I pushed him back to the ground as he glared at me then without warning commenced the tickle war as I wiggled around helplessly beneath him.

'Say Seth is the best and I am inferior to him!' he demanded with a wide grin plastered across his face. As I started to laugh even harder at his ridiculous demand.

'I..I'm...haha...I'm not...haha..gona say tha..that!' I managed to spit out through my giggles. This only increased his stamina as I writhed around half crying and half dying of laughter, tears trickling down my face.

'Okay oka....I'm sor..ry I will just stop the tickling!' I screeched pushing his hands away and frowning at his stupid smirk. Both of us got to our feet as I supressed the urge of tackling him to the floor and beating the sh*t out of him.

'Seth you are the best and...still inferior to me!' I took a dramatic pause and let him ravel in his glory then quickly blurted out the last part and sprinted towards the classroom this time not making the same mistake as before. My speed immediately slowed down and came to a snails pace as I remembered I had Mr Borat for science. My breathing hitched as I rocked back and forth on my feet outside his door trying to pluck up the courage to head inside.

'Hey what are you..oh....' Seth's voice trailed of as he burst into a ripple of unstoppable laughter muffling it with his hand as I turned an even darker shade of beetroot red. After about 5-10 minutes he finally stopped clutching his stomach and then straightened himself up knocking on the door and heading to his seat as I followed silentl behind keeping my head low.
