Chapter 26: Egg Catastrophe

"Alright," said Robin, twirling the spoon in her hand. "Ready to taste?"

I nodded.

She got a spoonful of my egg.

"Wait!" I yelled just as she was about to shove my salty death ray in her mouth. "Don't eat my egg!"

"Why not?"

"I... uh... Don't want you to get some salt disease?"

She burst out laughing. "Oh gosh, Jarrett, what did you do to the poor little egg?"

"Bathed it in salt?"

She laughed. "That's not nice."

...

"I win!" she yelled.

"By default." I added.

"Oh, geez, just cause you gave your egg salt disease doesn't mean I won 'by default'. I won because my egg was simply better."

"Compared to an egg showered with salt!"

"I won, you lose. Suck it up."

"Shut up."

"Hey, I was invited to Bryn's 12th birthday party," said Robin as we both cleaned up our messes.

"Who's Bryn?" I asked.

"Bryan's older sister."

"Who's Bryan...?" I asked.

"Why? Are you jealous?" she asked as she wiggled her eyebrows.

Okay, maybe I was a little jealous.

"No... I was just... asking."

"Okay," she said. "Anywho, Bryan's my classmate and Bryn often picks him up from class so we became friends."

"Oh."

"So anyway, you wanna be my plus one?" she asked, looking at me.

"Ooh, plus one! You make it sound so romantic!" I remarked sarcastically while staring into her twinkling eyes.

"Fine. Wanna be my date?"

"So you wouldn't go stag to a birthday party?"

She giggled. "Shut up. If you don't wanna go, just tell me." Then she turned around to leave.

I grabbed her arm and spun her around to face me.

"I'd love to go with you," I said.

I swear, I saw her eyes were a little puffy. But she smiled anyways.

She wrapped her arms around me and grinned, "We're gonna have so much fun, stupid."

I loved it when she calls me stupid. I know, it's a weird fetish.
