Love Triangle

Prank War

Night soon comes, the blue sky turns black and the only natural light source is the stars. "What do you want for dinner?" Ethan asks me.

"I'm not that hungry." I reply, glueing my eyes to the TV.

"Let's get pizza." Grayson suggests, picking up his phone and disappearing into the other room to order.

"What's up with you?" Ethan asks me.

"Nothing, I'm just watching the programme." I reply.

"That's a lie." Ethan scoffs.

"Is not." I argue.

"Oh really? Then what's been going on this whole time?" Ethan questions.

"Fine you caught me." I sigh.

"What's up?" He repeats, nudging me.

"Don't you think me staying here is weird for you?" I ask him, finally making eye contact.

"Only if you make it weird, I'll go tell him what pizza you want." Ethan says, leaping over the back of the couch.

"How do you know what I want?" I ask him.

"You come across as a plain Jane type of pizza person." He chuckles, walking through the door and into the kitchen.

I take this opportunity to get Ethan back for all those times he's scared me. I get up and walk over to the wall and press my back against it as much as I can, trying to blend in.

The boys walk out the door and I jump out at them both which makes them both scream like babies. I burst out laughing. "I got you back." I chuckle.

"You just started a prank war." The boys say in a deep voice.

"Good because I'm amazing at pranks." I smirk and sit on the couch.

A short while later pizza arrives. I open my small pizza and the boys open their large ones. I take one bit before realising what they've done. Chilli powder! My face glows and I become very hot, my mouth is on fire but I get an idea. "Tell me this isn't chilli powder."

"It's chilli powder." Ethan smirks.

"I'm allergic to chilli powder!" I exclaim. (Which is a lie.) Both the boys leap out of their seats and rush to my aid. I pretend to faint and luckily one of the boys catch me and lie me on the couch.

"What do we do?" Ethan asks.

"Call an ambulance!" Grayson exclaims. I suppose it's time to end this before they call for an ambulance.

"Prank!" I exclaim and chug everyone's water to calm down the fiery sensation in my mouth.

"Wait what?" Grayson questions.

"You tried to chilli powder prank me but I beat you! I had you both so good! That was hilarious!" I exclaim.

"Okay, I know when I'm beaten, I resign from the prank war." Grayson says.

"Yeah me too. That was friggin scary." Ethan agrees. We all sit down and I share their pizzas since mine is covered in chilli powder.

"I'm going to bed." I announce and walk up the stairs, I change into some PJs and brush my teeth before snuggling under the covers and spreading out in the double bed.

I hear a noise next to my head and I open my eyes to see Ethan's hand on my bedside table, I reach out and grab it. "What are you doing?"

"Relax, you left your phone downstairs, I was bringing it you." Ethan laughs.

"Swear you haven't pranked me." I order.

"I haven't. I'm done with the prank war. You scared me tonight with that prank, I thought I'd killed the love of my life." Ethan says.

"You think I'm the love of your life?" I question him.

"Yeah! A girl who can prank better than me, is hotter than me, funny, kind. Don't you realise how perfect you are?" Ethan questions me.

"I would go that far but thank you." I smile. There's just something about Ethan that makes me want him. Am I switching Dolan's?
