Minds in a Knot (Updating)

VI, Dream

        The breeze brushed off their thrilled faces and exposed skin, late afternoon on a Saturday after a very supernaturally eventful week.

        Flynn wore a casual Hawaiian button up shirt accompanied with a wary plastic flower necklace which he assured everyone that it was uni-sex. Izzy played it safe with his long sleeved round neck and a grayish over lengthy sport's trousers that covered just above his odd looking running shoes. He reeked of a blueberry sun screen scent. Spraying mosquito repellent all over his calves and shins was Nathan, who was probably imagining himself as a misplaced  pregnant mammoth that regrets his existence with the sleeveless, laughable body fit that Alvin had dared him to wear.

        Yesterday

        Nathan lost a rock-paper-scissors game, which he had organized, to Alvin the other day and the punishment was a "decent" dare with the other's consent.

Results of the game:

Round 1: Alvin

Round 2: Alvin

Round 3: Alvin

Winner : Undoubtedly Alvin

        Alvin brought up the hilarious outfit recommendation idea after winning and everyone did not hesitate - not even for a second- to put their hands up in favor of Alvin's proposal.

        While moving forward along the man-made pathway beside the ground that still had scarce traces of grass, they heard a roar of an engine drawing closer and closer towards them. Izzy picked up a stick that was about a meter long, and dragged it behind him as he strolled along with Nathan and Flynn who were half heartedly doing their task. They seemed to have forgotten about the approaching car because Nathan bolted up into the air while screaming a word that was alien to the other two as a loud 'honk' broke the tranquilizing sound of the waves crashing by the shore.

        The car pulled over on the side of the road next to them.

        Rosie came out uncontrollably giggling, holding her hat in place in case it would've fallen. Abby pretty much did the same, but instead, she had a slight difficulty in balancing the items in the baskets as she could not stop herself from being wobbly out of the laughter. Fedora had successfully restricted her funny bone from snapping, but her face was visibly reddening. She turned her head away from the others in hopes of hiding her face from Nathan who was being ridiculed by everybody else, but her cheeks were about the same color as her nose. Pinkish red. She doubted Nathan didn't caught her smiling.

        "I thought you were shooting for the moon!" Rosie bent down, placing her hand on her painful stomach, still couldn't get over Nathan's reaction.

        "I'm heart-attack-prone, that wasn't funny." Nathan narrowed his eyebrows and his lips fell into a slight frown. His eyes burned with intensity.

        Abby gave a terrified look and Rosie's snorts from her laughter was depleting. Fedora's eyes widened, overflowing with guilt, knowing she was partially involved in the plan to give the boys a good ignition. "Are you serious?"

        Nathan smirked wickedly. "Nope." He turned around to continue what he was doing.

        The three girls looked down to the ground in utter defeat, taken aback by the suspense Nathan had given them. Eventually, all three giggled after Rosie snorted gleefully by accident after their silence.
