Chapter One 

I stifle a laugh as I duck behind the counter. I hear the front door creak open slowly. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Alex nod. I secure the gun in my arms and get ready to jump out and shoot. I hear a familiar voice yell,"Guys! We're back with Sketch from the airport!" I let out a silent breath and get ready to shoot.

I got to Denis and Corl's new house just a week ago. Alex was already here and I got settled in. Sketch's flight was landing this morning and Denis and Corl were going to pick him up. While they were gone, Alex and I devised a plan to welcome Sketch. Alex called Corl so he could help us.

I heart Corl say,"Wait in the kitchen, I'll call them." I smiled with a hint of mischief. Alex peeked around the corner as I waited for him to signal me to shoot. Alex nods and we both jump on top of the counter and I start shooting blindly with my eyes closed. When I open my eyes, I saw Denis and Sketch looking at me with shock in their expressions and soaked clothes.

I started laughing uncontrollably. I calm down quickly as Denis and Sketch come out of their shocked positions. The two boys start laughing and Sketch comes up to me in his soaked clothing. I back away slowly and raise my water gun. "Stay back or I'll shoot." Sketch grins creepily and tackles me in a hug. 

His soaked clothes rub against mine, soaking my clothes as well. I push him off me and run along with Alex to the upstairs bathroom. He slams the door shut and locks it. I pant heavily and sigh. We refill our water guns and get ready to run back.

We just stare each other and break into a fit of laughter. I clutch my stomach from laughing too much and sink to the floor. I start to calm down and Alex nods. I nod back and he unlocks the door. I grip the doorknob and turn it slowly.

When I open the door fully, we step out. We creep down the stairs slowly, ready to attack. We get to the bottom of the stairs but see nobody there. Alex gives me a confused look but I just shrug in response. Alex points down the set of stairs which leads to Corl's room. I nod and we silently step down the stairs, Alex in front of me. 

He pulls the curtain to the side and walks carefully inside. He turns and I see him get tackled by Sketch. Sketch pulls his water gun away and stands up. He points it to Alex and says,"Stay down, or I'll shoot." Alex responds with,"You wouldn't." Sketch smirks evilly and says,"I would."

Alex attempts to get up but gets shot, resulting in him getting soaked with water. Alex yells,"Avenge me!" I come out of my partly shocked, partly amused, state and shoot Sketch. I laugh and he runs towards me. I let out a shriek and start running up the stairs. As I run up the stairs, my ankle is grabbed by Sketch and I stumble a bit before landing on my stomach just above the stairs. I turn on my back and see Sketch holding my and Alex's gun, aiming at me.

"Please...no," I say just above a whisper.

I see him hesitate for a moment and I take that moment to jump at him and grab my gun. Unfortunately for me, he pulls his arms away and we end up stumbling down the stairs. I land on my back with Sketch next to me on his stomach. I sit up and groan in pain. I try to stand up, but I stumble a bit when a pain shoots through me like a bullet. Before I can reach the floor, arms extend out to me and pull me to safety.

I look towards the direction of my 'savior' and see Alex. I smile and say,"Thanks, Alex." He nods and replies,"Your welcome, are you okay?" I nod slightly but wince in pain when I put a little weight on my left leg. It's not too much pain, but it hurts. Alex looks at me with a worried expression on his face.

The next thing I know, Alex sweeps me off my feet and carries me bridal style to my room. As he sets me on my bed, I thank him and he just hums in response. "Is Sketch okay?" Alex just shrugs and answers with,"Don't know. I'll go check. I'll bring some ice." I nod as he leaves and closes the door behind him. 

Due to my soaking wet clothes, I decide to change into dry clothes. I manage to change my top before a knock resounds in my room. I yell,"Come in" after throwing my clothes into the laundry basket a few feet away. Sketch, Alex, Denis, and Corl walk in. They shift uncomfortably where they stand as Alex puts the ice on my leg. 

I smile warmly at him and look towards Sketch. I ask,"Are you okay?" He gives a reassuring nod before saying, "I'm fine." I nod and look towards the still soaking Denis and the completely dry Corl. I say,"You should change out of your clothes, you might catch a cold."

Denis nods and I notice Sketch still has his wet clothes on as he gets up too. They both walk out of the room and now it's just Alex, Corl, and me. Corl sighs and asks,"Do you want anything? I'm going to get some groceries." I shake my head and Alex says,"I'm fine. Thank you, though." Corl nods and leaves the room.

Alex asks,"Does it hurt?" I shake my head and answer,"Not anymore, you can go. Thanks." He smiles warmly and nods. He gets up to leave and I wave at him. He waves back and walks out. He closes the door behind him and closes it silently. I hear the pitter patter of his footsteps fade slowly as I lie down on my bed.
