Walruses

Today, we all decided to hangout at the park in our neighborhood. All of us were on the swings. And as always, we talked about anything and everything that came to mind.

"F is for fuckboys that try to get into your pants," Robin starts off.
"U is for ultra small dick!" Alice sings.
"N is for Matt, never ever getting laid!" Grayson yells, jumping off his swing.

"What the hell, man!" I yell glaring at Grayson. He just smirks back.
"Yeah, who is the weekly girlfriend?" Kat asks, deciding to join in on picking on me.
"They aren't weekly!" I yell defensively. "But it's Emma."
"You say they aren't weekly, but you get a new girlfriend every week." Robin laughs.

"Did you guys hear about Shawn?" Robin asks examining her nails.
"Which Shawn?"
"Shawn. . . Um, I had sex with him." Robin says trying to recall the boys last name.
"You've had sex with everybody." Grayson points out.
"I haven't had sex with you or Matty!" She yells. Her face is all red.
"Anyway. Shawn. He got arrested."
"For what?" I ask.
"He got caught with cocaine in his locker." Robin laughs. "Everyone knows you don't just bring cocaine to school during inspection week!" We all laugh at Shawn's stupidity.

"If you could be any mythical creature, what would you be?" Alice asks jumping off the swing.

"Elf."
"Mermaid!"
"Walrus!"
"Centaur."
"Vampire."

"Wait. Something's not right." Alice looks at all of us.
"Who the hell said 'walrus'?" Alice asks bewildered.
"Uh, I did." Gray raises his hand.
"I said mythical creature."
"Yeah, that's why I said walrus, you dumb blonde." Gray scoffs.

"Gray, walruses are real." Robin says slowly.
"Ha. No they aren't." He rolls his eyes.
"No, Gray, they really are real." I try saying, but Gray wasn't having any of it.
"Dude they are not."
"Have you never been to a zoo before?" Kat asks. Grayson's face starts to go red.
"Guys, seriously shut up. Walruses are not real."
"Grayson, we aren't shitting you. They are real." Robin says.

"No way man. Are you guys serious?" He asks, genuinely confused. We all nod.
"No fucking way." He whispers.

"Why would you think they weren't real!?" Alice yells, laughing.
"I dunno man, I guess because my old babysitter told me so? I guess I just believed it all this time. . . " he sounds so shocked. Then, I couldn't hold it in anymore. I start to laugh. This guy thought walruses were mythical creatures?! Oh my god.

His emerald green eyes snap up to me and give me a hard glare. But he was holding in a smile, I could tell. Alice reaches over and forces his eyes to open wide. She sits there and stares at him for a few seconds.
"Wow. He's not high." She breaths. Then, we all lose it.
