Metanoia

Chapter 17~ Wonder Woman

.Chapter 17.

"MADDIE!"

I was tackled by a hug from Mason, Emilia's little brother. He was 10 years younger than us, making him 7. She invited Eva and I for a sleepover at her house so we could watch Wonder Woman together. "Hey Mason," I greeted him, returning the hug and ruffling his hair. "Did you get taller?" I ask him, to which he replies, "Yup, and stronger!" He then proceeded to flex and smiled a toothy grin.

"Since you're so strong now, why don't you help me with this" Emilia laughed as she tossed her bag to him, which he barely just managed to catch. "Hey! You can't do that!" he argued. I whacked her on the arm with my textbook, saying, "Emilia, you should be more gentle with him."

"Ow, sheesh, I was just helping him to prove his point of being strong," she whined, rubbing her arm.

"As if," Mason and I spoke in unison. I chuckled and high-fived the little dude.

"Lunch is ready kids!" Emilia's mom announced. "Oh hello girls, it's great to have you back here again," she chirped, giving both of us, Eva and I big, welcoming hugs.

"Sarah, you always say that," we replied in unison.

"Because it really is great to have you girls here. Now come, sit and eat."

We took our seats and every time we tried to use our phones, Sarah would reprimand us. Eva couldn't control herself and repeatedly kept taking her phone out. In the end, it got confiscated which I couldn't help teasing her about. She let out a huff of defeat, and continued stuffing her mouth with the delicious lasagne Sarah had made.

"Sarah, this stuff is REALLY good." I praised, gesturing to the lasagne.

"Mhm," Eva chimed in, though still a little salty because her phone had been taken.

After lunch, we head to Emilia's room. "Our clothes are still here right?" we asked, opening her wardrobe. She nodded her head and dragged out a box of them. We went over to each others' houses so we just left clothes in each of them. "I call dibs on the shower!" I exclaimed, making a break for it. Once I was in, I quickly locked the door. Emilia continuously pounded on the door, yelling at me. "This is MY shower! MADDELYN! Get your ass out here!" I laughed uncontrollably, grabbing the counter for support.

Ignoring her, I took off my clothes and threw them in the laundry basket. I started up the shower and began washing my hair. "MADDELYN YOU ARE SO DEAD!" Emilia hollered.

"Pshhh, that's what you get for being slow!" I shouted back.

When I opened the door after I was done changing, I was immediately tackled to the floor and Emilia relentlessly tickled me. I struggled and tried to escape but to no avail. Eva then took the opportunity to sneak into the bathroom but Emilia caught her in time, literally. She held onto Eva's leg, not letting her enter. Eva let out a yelp and kept kicking away, trying to escape from Emilia's grip. The whole scene was so absurd that I guffawed uncontrollably, rolling on the floor from left to right.

"Maddelyn," Emilia hissed, "come help me."

"Okay hold on." I reached for my phone and snapped a picture of them and decided to save it for future blackmail purposes. I laughed at the thought. Grabbing hold of her other leg, Eva stumbled backwards and she ended up falling on top us and we couldn't help but burst out into giggles. "God damn girl, did you gain like 50 pounds?" Emilia grunted as she rolled Eva off of her.

Quickly grabbing her own clothes, she entered the shower and soon we heard the water running.

"I swear, she is so retarded." Eva rolled her eyes. She typed an Instagram story saying she got assaulted by 2 dimwits to which I responded, "Don't forget to tag us!" She showed me the finger and I grinned. "Love you too best friend," I laughed as I hugged her, causing us to fall backwards and hit the headboard of the bed.
