Brooke's POV
"Oh! Grab this too! It's perfect!" El barked at me from down the aisle as she continued to roam.
"El, why don't you just grab it, you idiot?" I called down to her as I grabbed a fluffy pink rabbit stuffed animal.
"A yo-yo? Why would we want a yo-yo for a scavenger hunt?" I inquired as El tossed down what-from her previous comment-she thought was "perfect"
"Because it's perfect!" she argued.
"Okay. Whatever, that's fine," I laughed.
She celebrated a bit with a little dance that I knew to be her "happy dance."
"You're so weird," I shook my head.
"The other day you said that weird was good," she debated.
"I never said that it wasn't."
"Whatever. Just keep buying stupid things."
"El, I think we're good," I pointed out as I eyeballed the overflowing cart that my foot, dressed in a walking boot, sat upon.
"No! Let's get as much as we can!"
"El, we have as much we can. Look at the cart," I said sternly.
"Fine."
"What's your favorite one?" I tried to make conversation with a pouting El.
"I don't care."
"El, stop being a baby," I growled.
"Yeah, yeah," she fought.
"Wow. I think I rubbed off on someone."
I said that and El lit up. Her mouth formed into one of the biggest grins. She stood up straight and her eyes looked happy. She was mocking me.
"Screw you," I muttered as I hit her on her all-too-happy head.
"Diddo," she grunted.
****************************
"You're actually serious aren't you?" Zayn asked, thinking that El and I were joking about our proposition.
"Yes, now move," El sassed.
"Atta' girl," I said raised my left eyebrow and put on a bit of an impressed face at El's straight forward approach.
Zayn just shook his head, eyes trained down at the floor directly in front of him as he pulled me into an awkward side hug that I just now figured out he loved to do.
"Hey, bud," I smiled.
"Hey, buddy," he mocked a bit.
He kept his hand around the lower part of my ribcage as we strode into Louis' flat.
"She's crazy," Zayn said as we watched El bolt into the living room with at least seven plastic bags full of things we bought in the clearance section of the grocery store.
"And you just noticed this? You're not so bright, are ya'?" I jested.
"So original," he uttered.
"Why'd you throw that beer bottle?" Zayn whispered, his eyes not moving away from an ever-moving El, after a few seconds of silence separated his previous comment from this one.
He stopped moving, his hand around my ribs not moving, causing my body to jolt.
"I don't know," I growled slowly through my teeth.
