'Okay' Jakob said and walked off.

'Do you need help with that Chris?' I laughed picking up the sheets.

'Well, only if you want to' he says

'Okay, I will help you as I see you need it but your ego can't take admitting it' I say.

He grabs the end of the sheets and jumps flat on the bed . I laugh at him, he looks like Patrick the starfish from SpongeBob Square pants. He gets off the bed and starts lifting up the mattress to tuck the sheets under so I lift up my side of the mattress and then Chris starts pushing it towards me and next thing I know I fall back, toppling over the bedside table which has a lamp and a fishbowl on it. Everything fell like dominos.

 'Sh*t, I'm sorry' I say dusting of myself.


'No, It was my fault I was the one who pushed you over' Chris says apologetically.

I look over to see Chris running to the Fish that was in the fishbowl. The fishbowl and lamp had shattered into small pieces. Chris grabs the fish and goes into the ensuite to put it in a cup and fill it up with water. I walk over to Chris to see him looking down in the cup with his fish in it. I have a close look in the cup and see the fish it is at the top of the cup and it's upside-down. It is dead. The expression on Chris' face makes me feel so guilty so I go up to him and give him a hug. He doesn't push me away. He really must be sad.

'What are you doing?' Jakob says walking in with the inflatable in his hand. The hug ends and we turn to see Jakob.

'It's not what it looks like' Chris says. 'My fi-' Chris gets cut off by Jakob.

'So you get me to go down to the shed so you can make a move on Sally? Huh! You know I like her. I can't believe you would do something like that to me' Jakob yells at Chris. His face was red as a tomato. Chris and I are in shock. It finally processes in my head. OMG Jakob likes me. YES. Wait OMG do I like Jakob. Hmm maybe I do kinda have some feelings for him.

'No, Jakob. I killed Chris' fish and I felt so guilty and I hugged him' I explain.

'Is this true?' Jakob asks.

'Yeah' Chris says.

'I am so sorry, I guess I over-reacted' He says.

'Its fine. I can understand how you thought what you thought' Chris says.

'Now that's behind us. How are we going to blow up the inflatable?' I ask.

'I brought the pump cos I thought you would need it' Jakob says handing over the pump to Chris. Chris starts to pump the mattress. I just stand there awkwardly while Jakob sits on his bed.

'Do you want me to clean the glass?' I ask Chris, trying to be helpful.

'Um yeah that would be good. The vacuum is downstairs in the laundry room' Chris says. So I walk downstairs to get it. I pick it up and it's pretty heavy but I still try to carry it upstairs to prove to the boys I can carry heavy things. My logic is weird but still. I manage to lug it upstairs and I drag all the way to the spare room.

'Here it is' I say looking for a powerboard and plugging it in and turning on the switch.

I start vacuuming and I can hear the glass go up and around in the vacuum cleaner. It just reminds that I killed his fish.

Once I finish I turn it off and put it back in the laundry room. I come back upstairs and my mattress is all blown up. Chris looks exhausted.


'So what were you planning for dinner?' I ask trying to break the silence and awkwardness.

'Umm we were gonna order pizza if that is okay with you' Chris says still panting.

'YESS!' I say over-enthusiastically.

'So pizza is a winner. Meatlovers, Magaritta and.....' Jakob  says looking at me waiting for me to suggest another pizza.

'Umm bbq chicken?' I suggest.

'Sounds good' Jakob says.

Jakob dials Dominos and orders the three pizzas.

'It should be here in 20' Jakob says sitting back down on his bed.
