Paper Balls

Chapter 12

Sam's POV
I wake up to sunlight hitting my face. I open my eyes and turn around. I sit up and look around. I am not in my room. I get up quietly knowing the Colby is still sleeping. I run over to my room and change my clothes. "Dammit, I don't have any XPLR hoodies. They are all dirty. I haven't done my laundry yet." I say to myself.

Elton hasn't gotten a washer or dryer. "I'll just take one of Colby's for now." I quietly go back into Colby's room and open his closet. I take one of his XPLR hoodies and shut the door. I run out of his room, shutting the door behind me. I put it on.

This thing is huge! Colby isn't even that big. I go down stairs and enter the kitchen. "Hey Elton. When are you going to get a washer and dryer for the house? I really need to do my laundry." I ask making some coffee. "I got them this morning. They are already hooked up and ready to be used." He says.

"Oh okay, thanks Elton." I say sitting down. "Is that Colby's hoodie?" Elton asks. "Oh uh yeah, all of mine where dirty so I snuck in and took one of his. He won't notice." I say laughing.

Colby enters the kitchen with his hair a huge mess. "Speaking of the devil. Good morning Colby." Elton says laughing. All we get is a little groan from him. We both start laughing a bit. "Welp, I have to go and help Scotty with something for David. Since we moved here, Scotty asked me to help. I'll be back in like 6 hours. Don't fight!" Elton says as he leaves.

Colby sits next to me with a cup of coffee and toast. He puts his head down on the counter. "You okay? You seem extremely tired." I chuckle. "I was so comfortable with you next to meeeeeee." He whines picking his head up and putting it on my shoulder. "Is that my hoodie?" He asks looking at me.

I chug my coffee and scream. "GOTTA BLAST!" "Samuel! Get back here!" Colby yelled behind me. I run up stairs and into Corey's room. I jump onto his bed and watch Colby run in. "What in the hell is happening?" Corey says. "Samuel! Get over here right now!" Colby lunges towards me but I jump over him and run again.

I run into Aaron's room. He's already up and getting dressed. I hide behind him. "Sam, get out of Aaron's room!" Colby says laughing. I run around Buddy's cage. "It's just you and me, Sammy." Colby says giving me that one creepy look. I go one way and he follows so I quickly juke him and run out of Aaron's room.

"Dammit Sam!" He yells. "That's my name!" I laugh and continue running. I run outside and around the pool. "Come here Samuel!" Colby says. "I don't wanna!" I yell back still laughing my ass off. We slowly move back and forth around the pool for about 6 minutes. I make run for it into the grass.

I feel arms wrap around me and yank me back. "God dang it." I say laughing. "Finally I got you!" Colby says. He wraps his arms around my torso and puts his head on my shoulder again. "What? I didn't have any hoodies left. So I took one of yours and some how your bigger than me. I mean look at this. It's huge on me!" I say laughing.

"Eh, it's fine if you took my hoodie. You look cute in my clothes." He says. "Then why did you chase me around the whole house?" I chuckle. "Your full of energy all of the time so I was like why not, and chased you." He says.
