Just One Favour

I sneak out of Annie's room in the morning so no one gets supicious. She's not actually as bad as I thought she was.

"Brennan, where were you last night?", Katie asks.
"I fell asleep downstairs while playing minecraft", I say, trying to not sound so supicious.
"Oh alright, well can you go wake Annie up?", she asks.

I nod my head and head back downstairs.

"Annie, Wake up! School time", I say while shaking her.

She groans and rolls over.

"If you don't get up I will tickle you", I chuckle.
"Im up! I'm up", she says.
"Morning sleepy head", i say.
"Morning dick", she replies.
"Hey that's not nice!", I say.
She just laughs and smiles.

She gets out of bed and sends me out of the room to wait for her. I sit on the couch and check my phone. Katie uploaded a picture on her private account on Instagram. I open it up to see what it is. It's a picture of me and Annie in bed, sleeping next to each other.
Katie!!!!!!!!! Why would she do this.

I quickly comment on the picture telling her to delete it now before anyone else sees it. I refresh the page and it's gone. Thank god Annie didn't see it. She would freak!

Annie walks out of the room and comes towards me.

"Thank you Brennan", she says hugging me. I feel a warm tingly feeling in my body, a feeling I've never experienced before. But I don't know what it is.

"Just please don't tell people about it", I say.
"I won't, as long as you promise to actually talk to me without being rude", she replies.
"I promise", I say.
"Pinky promise?", she asks.
"I pinky promise", I say before hugging her again.

I wonder if she feels the warm tingly feeling too.

Because I use my arms so much with playing cricket, I can barely move my left arm due to a muscle strain caused by cramping in my neck. My arm aches all the time, at least I'm hoping it's a muscle strain. I hope it will go away soon.
