With You

"Y U DO DIS!!?"

I followed Jerome down the hall and out to the backyard. Outside, everyone was waiting, nerf guns in hand.

"ADAM!!!!" I yelled running towards Adam.

"SHHHH!!" Jerome said, looking behind us to make sure Mitch didn't hear.

"Oh, sorry. Adam!!" I whisper-yelled.

"Alex!!" Adam whispered back, handing me a gun.

It was the biggest one and it had the most bullets.

I smirked, knowing that Adam had told the guys of my nerf expertise.

We all hid, except for me, I was supposed to be the 'bait'.

I sat on a chair right in front of the back door, my gun hidden behind me.

Jerome pretended to tie me up and went back to hiding.

"MITCH!! HELP!!! THEY'VE GOT ME!!" I yelled as I was told.

Suddenly, we heard Mitch yelling, obviously on one of the balconies.

"ALEX?! WHERE ARE YOU!?"

"BACK YARD!! HELP PLEASE!!" I yelled, almost laughing.

He ran to the doors and opened them, running towards me.

"What happened?" Mitch said, frantically trying to 'untie' me.

"Jerome took me from behind you and they tied me up! Hurry before they -" I started, knowing Jerome would interrupt.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here? Is little Mitchy-poo trying to save his crush?" Jerome said.

Wait what? That wasn't part of the plan...

"Shut up Jerome," Mitch said, blushing as he pushed me behind him.

I loaded my gun and held it behind his head, waiting for my que.

"I SHALL NOT BE SILENCED!! But really, you should probably turn around," Jerome said.

When Mitch turned, I shot the gun, hitting him on the forehead.

"Wait, what?" Mitch said, really confused.

"You think she'd just turn on her brother for that? Nonsense!! SIBLING LURVE!!" Adam said, coming out of the shed.

"I just wanted to shoot the nerf gun!" Ian said in his derp voice.

"So you betrayed me?! HOW COULD YOU?" Mitch said, fake crying.

"I'm sorry, dood," I said, smiling.

"No you're not! Y U DO DIS?!" Mitch said, still pretending to cry.

"I'm sorry, Mitch," I said, trying not to laugh.

"Closer," Mitch said.

"Why don't you kiss him and make him all better?" Jason said in a somewhat serious voice.

"Because he's not my boyfriend, just my best friend," I retorted.

"OHHH MITCH JUST GOT FRIEND ZONED!!" Quentin yelled, laughing.

I was really confused. Did Mitch actually like me?

"Guys, shut up," Mitch said, looking down.

"Mitch, we all know you like her and that the only reason you're not already dating is because Adam said nobody in this house could. And I just so happen to know a certain person who likes you too," Jerome said, looking towards me.

I gave him the death stare. He was one of the few people who knew that I liked Mitch. Only Jerome, Brice, and Tyler (Brotato) knew, and they only knew because I really trusted them.
