Back Again [On Hold]

Chapter 5

Ash’s POV

“Dee hurry up! Now we live next door to the main building, it would be nice if we were on time for once!"

    “OK, OK, OK, give…me…a…sec…I’m…just…getting…my…shoes…on” she said as she hopped down the stairs trying to put her shoes on at the same time. That was until, “AHHHHHHHHHHH!” she shouted as she slipped and came banging down the stairs

   “Ouch! Dang that hurt” I came out of the front room and stood in the doorway laughing at her sprawled across the bottom stair

   “Come on Klutzilla, we have lessons to get to” I said giggling as I watched her stumble across the room and out the front door to our apartment. I jumped as she slammed the door then tore after her as fast as I could

“FIRST ONE TO THE SCIENCE BLOCK WINS!” she shouted laughing her head off.

     “YOU ARE ON. IF I WIN, THAT’S A TENNER TO ME!”I shouted back at her as I over took her and rushed towards the block. It was just like when we were little, although we loved each other as much as was humanly possible we also loved competing for everything from the front seat in the RV to who got the first ice-cream when we were out except there was always one other person to compete with –Joey

She came out of nowhere and sped a head, stopping at the doors, waiting, then opening them and walking in. She didn’t need to gloat….

When I got in, all I could see was a hand outstretched, for her tenner.

    “OMG that was AMAZING! I mean, did you see the way those stingrays just came up to you? That was the best oceanology lesson EVER!! I so want to do that again” I laughed as Dee continued to praise the lesson that I had set up as part on my project work as we walked towards the sushi place to meet Quinn and Chase, “I so have to convince sir to let you plan more lessons sis, I mean really, you are so cool!”

   “Um thanks Dee, I think, but you’re mumbling again I can’t understand a word you are saying” I said, sniggering and coughing to cover it.

  “Oh sorry Ash, but you know what I’m like when I’m excited”

  “True, true, you’re an annoying, crazy, little git who just LOVES to steal all of my M&M’s” I shouted in her ear.  

  Her cheeks were bright red and I sniggered leaving out the part where I bundled her and broke my arm in attempting to rescue my packet of M&M’s

   “Well if I remember correctly” oh no. She wouldn’t would she? She looked at me and smirked. Oh god I know that look “But…not naming names… Ashakandra… But someone broke their arm trying to wrestle that very same pack of M&M’s off me… And I ALWAYS remember correctly” she added. I cringed immensely, remembering the incident. Dee is the world’s best arm wrestler. Once she beat Quinn. When I say once, I mean, he hasn’t wrestled her again since then.

    “Ah ha I found the culprit’s, Chase. We were right. I’m guessing that’s your twin behind the bin with the tomato red face. What did you do?” she said as she turned to face Dee but she refused to tell. My face was now burning with embarrassment as Chase came over to our little gathering and pulled me out from behind the bin before I could stop him. He took one look at my face and burst out laughing.

    We had told him when we first met him, about the M&M’s incident, whilst playing truth or dare, so he guessed that was the reason. He looked at me for confirmation and I nodded which just made him laugh harder.

     “I’m not going to even ask what’s up with you lot.” Quinn shook his head.

     “Well I guess it’s about time you found out about the M&M’s incident” I said as we walked into the Sushi bar.
