It's now 9 o'clock at night and we have officially run out of snacks, thanks to Yashika practically growling at me if I ever tried to take a jelly baby, god that girl loved her food.


I'd even finished off my half melted tub of Ben and Jerry's, that I had thrown into the freezer this morning before  getting ready.

"I'm sooo hungryyy~"

Yashika has been saying this since she finished off her last jelly baby 10 minutes ago.

"You're hungry?! All I got was a few pieces of popcorn and the legs of one jelly baby that you threw at me for trying to take one."

Yashika glared at me then burst out laughing rolling off of the sofa onto the hard wooden floor clutching her stomach.

"You should have seen your face when it hit you in the eye!"

Yeah that jelly baby managed to hit me right at the eye which caused Yashika to nearly pass out form laughing, on the bright side though I did swipe 2 jelly babies while she was curled up laughing at my pain.

"We should go get more snacks."

Completely sobered up from her laughing fit on the floor, that you could have sworn she wasn't just having just 5 seconds ago. If it wasn't for her pink cheeks and fading tear marks, you wouldn't even have known she was laughing.

"Yaash, it's just 9 o'clock at night and plus I don't want to get changed I'm too comfy."

Yashika scrunched up her face and looked at me in confusion. Then it happened, the most evilest smirk came on her lips as she said, "who said anything about getting changed Tanny bear."

She quickly grabbed ahold of my arm and pulled me up off my warm cozy sofa and out of my front door, into the dark and freezing night without shoes on!

"Yaash, what are you doing?"

Again, that evil small smirk played on her lips as she slammed the front door to my house shut and quickly grabbed the only spare key from behind the Tulsi (holy basil) plant on our front porch.

"Really Yaash? It's freezing out here, altleast let me wear the shoes."

She looked at me with the most innocent smile on her face, while twirling the key in her hand.

"Hmm... I'm afraid I can't do that Tanny bear.  We both know as soon as I open the door you'll be straight back to the sofa, and then how am I supposed to enjoy Damon without any jelly babies and popcorn."

She set a post on her face that she she knew I could never say no to. I ended up agreeing to come to the store with her, but only if she bought me another tub of Ben and Jerry's.

She gladly agreed and now here we are, driving down the abandoned street towards the nearest store, all so Yashika can get her jelly babies. Plus to make things worse I had to endure Yashika's terrible singing all the way there and no doubt all the way back too.

"Tanny bear we're hereee!~"

Yashika screamed in my right ear before jumping out of the drivers side and coming for me to pull me out of my seat.

"Okay Yaash, can I at least take my seat belt off first, you know before you rip my torso in two."

"No time Tanny bear, the jelly babies await!"

"Even if she was nearly separating me from half of my body, I still had to laugh at her attempt to get into the store quicker.

"Once we were both out if the car, me with both halves of my body thank god, Yashika ran straight for the candy section, carefully scanning the shelves for her beloved jelly babies.

"GOT THEM!!"

I nearly fell backwards into the display of chips when she screamed about her newfound treasure.

"God Yaash, scream a bit louder, I don't think they heard you in aisle 10."

Yashika looked at me for a minute then slowly began to open her mouth to scream louder like I had said, not before I clamped my hand over her mouth and gave her a 'don't-even-think-about-it' look.
She smiled then slowly removed my hand from her mouth and quickly ran up to one of the aisles before I could say anything.

"Omg Yashika, I'm going to KILL YOU!"

Not because she ran off from me but because before removing my hand completely, she licked it. Yes, my best friend just licked my hand.
