After I beat the boys in racing, we proceeded with the dinner. And I got many second-hand embarrassments every time I won a race and my stomach growled as if it hasn't eaten for weeks.

"Want some?" I said as I held a bowl of french fries in front of Marc.
"Sur-" Before Marc takes some Tony took a fistful of french fries and finished half the bowl. Next, he shoved all of them in his mouth and choked. Mrs Clark hit him lightly on his shoulder. Marc without saying something took a few-"Thanks". I smiled and continued eating my dinner.

There was an awkward silence in the room. Only the sound of forks and spoons could be heard. Oh come on this is so boring! Tony was at least making it a bit interesting.

I noticed Marc's plate. There was not a single non-veg piece on his plate and beside him, I saw T separating the vegetables from the pasta. I always did that when I was young.

"Um...Mrs.Chase, you are a video game designer, right?" Lee said a bit hesitantly.
"Please call me Rachel and yes," she replied.
"So what games are you currently working on?" Lee certainly loves video games a lot.
"Well," she said,"I am working in Naughty Dog and currently working on the project-"The last of us". And that was the reason I got a PS3 at the age of six.
"What!?" Lee almost choked on his juice," the producers of Uncharted? the creator of the legendary Nathan Drake??" mom just gave a simple nod. Lee just gasped and did not say anything.

Marc smiled and whispered to himself-" I already knew about that." wait, how? He probably knows everything.

Marc did not take a single piece of my favourite chicken lollipop. And I am going to make him eat one. I picked up the plate having chicken lollipops and held it out to Marc.
Me-"Want some?"
Marc-" No, I'm fine."
"No, you're not," I said pointing at his plate,"You don't like chicken?"
Marc-"Um I-"

"He is a vegetarian," Megan stated. I looked at Marc round-eyed.
"Not exactly," Marc said,"I don't like chicken that much."

"Yes that is why you should have a lot of veggies," Tony passed his veg leftovers to Marc's plate.

"Ew!"I said.
"Gross!!" Megan said.
"Tony eat those!" Ms.Clark ordered.

"What? I am not wrong. If Marc does not eat proteins at least he should eat a lot of vegetables. " Tony said.
"Since when did you started taking care of Marc, because last time I checked you ate all his packet of nachos. " Lee said.
"You ate my Nachos? " Marc said angrily.
"Um... I was hungry, " Tony stammered.
"I will never help you with homework, again. "
Tony pouted and tried to apologize but all Marc did was take another plate and took some chicken lollipops as I asked him to.

Tired of apologizing, T took four pieces of chicken and ate like someone who hasn't eaten for weeks.
"No offense Tony, but you eat like a monster, "I said to Tony. He returned a mischievous grin. I rolled my eyes.

After a few minutes later, I felt a tingling sensation in my legs. As if something was sliding on my skin. I saw Lee just opposite to me. I gave him a look.
He noticed it-" Are you possessed or something. That look is creepy."

I noticed a green thing wrapping my leg as I reached my hand and pulled the thing out. And that was probably the worst choice I had made so far.

The others gasped. I laughed nervously, "It's a snake... " I paused, " SNAKE!!! "I shouted at the top of my voice as it hissed at my face.

Everyone stood up and my dad ran towards me but I already threw the snake at someone just after I closed my eyes. There was a manly scream. I opened my eyes and found out it was.... Lee.
