A Twist in Life

Chapter 4-Tickle Monster Pressure Points

Listen to " for those below" by Mumford and sons while reading plz :)

Tyler's POV

And I kissed her. I've never thought this way about a girl before. She was shocked at first, frozen. Then she was kissing me, too, and I was the happiest I'd been for a while.she was so beautiful. I...i think I'm in love with her. She breaks it off and says under her breath, "well, not too bad for a first kiss." I laugh and look at her. Then I realize she was serious.

"Wait...you've never...kissed a guy before?" I ask in shock. No, a beautiful girl like her? She had to have kissed someone before.

"Nope. But I have kissed several girls." Soph responds seriously. I look down nervously.

" oh, well, I...uh..." She laughs at my speechlessness.

"Just kidding! Haha, you should have seen your face! But really, I've never kissed anyone not related to me." I open my mouth in shock. No way! "Shut your mouth, sweetheart. You'll catch flies." She says in MY Auntie Janet voice. What a thief. But a good impressionist. You have to giver that much.

"Really? You've never had a boyfriend?"

"Nope. Never."

"Are you sure?" She laughs.

"Yeah, I guess boys were just never really attracted to me." You have got to be kidding. I saw all those guys staring at her when she was walking to the table at the restaurant.

"Well, okay then." And I dropped the subject. It wasn't my first kiss. To be frank, it was only my third. My ex-girlfriend kissed me twice, then she killed herself a week later. I was devastated for weeks. Anyway, I need to change the subject.

"So, can you hang out tomorrow at my place?" I ask her.

"Uh, yeah. Where do you live?"

"Great. I'll pick you up at noon." I say ignoring her question. I grin devilishly. "Have you ever met my friend?"

"I dunno, who is he?"

"The tickle monster." And before she has time to think I pounce, and start tickling her. I'm surprised to see she doesn't flinch at all, but she just laughs shortly. I stop trying to tickle her.

"I'm not ticklish." She says and I frown. How can she not be ticklish?

"You're serious? Really? Well, that is yet another advantage for you, and zero for me." Sophia laughs.

"Yeah, she's a stinker. I've been trying to tickle her for ten years and it just won't work. She does have some pretty major pressure points though." Sophia's face twists in fear. Alesa, who I didn't see walk in with Adam, cracks a mischievous smile and walks slowly over to Sophia, hand outstretched. It's as if I'm watching a horror movie: Adam with a look of utter terror on his face while he watches his girlfriend slowly and silently creep towards the panicking girl crawling away. Ah, if only I had popcorn. That would make this so much more enjoyable. When Alesa reaches Sophia, Soph has her arms over her head and neck and she's whimpering.

"Hellooooo... Sophia, don't be afraiiiid..." Alesa says in a creepy stalker voice. Adam squeals and runs to his room. Figures. He never was good with horror movies. I used to watch horror movies all the time with him and, just for my own amusement, I would sneak into his room at four in the morning, poke him, and whisper in his ear, "aaaaadaaaam... I'm cooooooming fooooor youuuuuuuuuu......" He'd scream and sit up and swing his arms everywhere. Then I would sneak out before he could wake up enough to notice me. He never did figure out that I was the one doing that. In fact, he told me some pretty crazy stories about that blending with his dreams. You can imagine my state of laughter at this point.

Meanwhile Sophia was squealing int he corner while Alesa was pushing her pressure points and laughing maniacally. "N-no! St-stop! Pleaheheheeease!" I went to get Adam to pull Alesa off her and found him in his room. He came with me and we pried Alesa away from Soph. Alesa just starts to laugh like she's insane and Adam looks at her uncertainly.

" I'm starting to regret meeting you. But if I didn't, Tyler would never have found a girlfriend. Ever." This gives him a well deserved punch in the shoulder. "Ow, okay, maybe he'd get a girlfriend. If she was desperate..." I open my mouth to tell him he's a dick, but I think twice and decide against it. I go to Sophia instead. She was shaking in the corner.

"Are you o-okay?" I ask holding back a grin. "So you aren't ticklish but you are... Minorly sensitive to your pressure points being pushed?"

"Shut your mouth before I shut it for you." She says. Wow, sassy much? But, sensing danger, I back off.

"Okay, what's your secret?" Adam asked Sophia. She looks confused. "How do you shut him up? I've been trying to do that for years!" Oh, well that's nice. Now I feel so loved. But Sophia just laughs.

"A great magician never reveals her secrets." Now me no Alesa join in on the laughter. But his time, it's directed at Adam.

A/N I really hope you guys can identify the sarcasm in this book. It's pretty much every where, but not at the same time.

-----CONTEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-----

I will be adding three new characters later in the book, and I need ideas. I would absolutely love if you guys would message me or comment below a description of the character or characters. I would like for some background knowledge, so like who (in TC) they are related to, meaning dating, bro/sis, etc. I don't even care if you want to put their mom in, I just need character ideas. I'll be choosing my top two entries, so get to commenting!

I've decided I want to call you guys my flaming cupcakes. Idk where the hell that came from, but that is what I'll call you. Well then, BYE MY FLAMING CUPCAKES,
