We arrive back at Ruel's apartment. We didn't speak much on the car ride home, instead we sat, enjoying each other's presence. My mom had texted me a few times, asking me how I'm doing and if Ruel is "a nice lad." I replied with "of course" and she sent me a cringey selfie of herself smiling. I love my mom and all, but damn sometimes I wish I never even introduced her to selfies.

As soon as we walk inside Ruel's apartment, he takes off his shoes, hangs up his car keys, and runs straight to the bathroom. "Um Ruel, are you okay?" "Yeah yeah I'm fine, I just gotta take a shit. My stomach doesn't handle dessert well." he replied back casually. Honestly I'm not even surprised. I hang my purse up, beside his car keys, and take a seat on the couch. I turn on the television to a National Geographic documentary about ants. How fascinating.

About 10 minutes later, Ruel finally comes out of the bathroom. Before I could even turn around to look at him, I see him running torwards the couch. He then does a weird swan dive type thing over the couch and lands right beside me. Even more fascinating.
"I've never been one to think a girl like you would be so fascinated by a boring ant documentary." he said with a shrug. "And I've never been one to think a lanky boy like you could do an entire somersault in the air over a fucking couch. That's what I call epic" I replied back. "I know, I'm just so talented. I bet you wish you could relate" he laughed.

About 30 minutes into watching the documentary, I heard a soft snoring sound coming from my right. I looked over to find Ruel, peacefully sleeping in the corner of the couch, cuddling a pillow. I never wanted to be a pillow more in my entire life. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to prank him. I mean who doesn't like pranks? I had many ideas rushing through my head. I decided to just go with the simple cold water prank. It's basic and simple, but I don't know how Ruel is going to react, so I think it's the best way to go. I tip-toe to the kitchen, trying not to be too loud. I get a cup from the cupboard and fill it up with some freezing cold water. I was debating on putting ice, but decided against it because I didn't want my prank to physically hurt him, just freak him out a bit. I decide to pull out my phone and record it because, when I leave Sydney, it'll be good to be able to rewatch my brilliant prank unfold.

I quietly count down from three. Not only for the video, but to prepare myself for the events about to occur. "3, 2, 1" I say to myself. It's go time. I pour the freezing cold water, right on top of his head. As soon as it hit he stood up and started cursing. "What the fuck Emma? I was sleeping asshole" he said. I knew he didn't mean it because right after he looked guilty. I started dying of laughter, while he was trying to dry himself off. "I'm the official prank master! Jake Paul has left the chat" I say, laughing my ass off even more. "If you ever speak of Jake Paul again, I will hurt you" Ruel replied with a playful smile on his face. He playfully punched me on the shoulder, which made me punch him back. We than got into a whole wrestling match. Damn, I already love this kid.
