Best Friends (Claire_201)

The Lolly Shope Conundrum

"Come on Caitlin!" I laughed, as I raced down the halls.

"Why. Are. We. Running?" She panted.

"Because it's fun."

She stuck her tongue out at me childishly. I stuck mine back out at her.

"Well, run all you want, but I'm not running any farther."

"Oh, fine," I panted.

"SNACK MACHINE!" She yelled, and ran to it.

"And I thought we weren't going to run anymore," I muttered to myself.

"Come on my babies. WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!?!" She screamed at the snack machine, shaking it violently.

"Caitlin, honey, they're right there."

"Oh," she sighed happily. "You know," she said, her mouth stuffed with Oreos, "I've been craving these even more than usual since my mum said I couldn't have them anymore."

"Go figure," I muttered. We walked down the hallway slowly her munching happily on her Oreos, while I just stared at her a bit weirdly. You'd think I'd be used to it by now.

"Ooh! Emily, I just had the best idea!"

"And what would that be dear?" I asked in a posh accent, looping her arm through mine.

"We. Should break. Into. The lolly store."

"Caitlin," I sighed rubbing my temples, "you don't need to break into a lolly store when it's open."

She stopped dead in the middle of the street.

"Caitlin! We do not stop in front of fast cars!" I screamed into her ear as I dragged her to the sidewalk.

"Yes, yes. So you've said. Back to the more important matter, WHY AREN'T WE ALREADY AT THE LOLLY STORE IF IT'S ALREADY OPEN?"

"Because. You already have Oreos, and you get crazy if you have too much sugar."

"Please?" She said, giving me the puppy dog eyes.

"Ohhhhhh, not the puppy dog eyes," I groaned. I can't resist her when she gives me that face. "Ugh, fine. But no more than five sweets. Deal?"

"DEAL!" She screamed happily as we ran to the lolly shop.

"I am so going to regret this."
