S E V E N: I'm gonna lick your back
"So, soccer?" Brennan suggested when we arrived at the beach.
"I don't get you guys", I said, shaking my head, "We went to the beach, to swim, I assumed, since the weather is extremely hot, but no, you all want to play football to get more sweaty than you already are."
"Stop complaining about the heat and come play soccer with us", Bradley chuckled.
I stuck my tongue out at him but got up anyway, "I have to warn you, though. My football skills are formidable."
"Of course."
The teams were made by Bradley and Jason, and I ended up in Jason's team together with Katelyn, Brennan and Alyssa.
"We're totally gonna win this", Jason said after we'd discussed our positions.
"You take this way too seriously", I rolled my eyes at him.
He glared at me, "Brooke, this is a never ending battle between Bradley and me, I have to win."
"Sure sure, just get the game started already."
It took a few minutes before the first goal was made, by Alyssa. And she was in the opposite team, so Jason got mad at us and told us again that we had, and I repeat, had to win, because otherwise he wouldn't consider us as friends anymore. The backlog made him incredibly motivated to win, though, because he scored the next goal.
The game went on for a while, until the score was 4-4, and we decided that the next goal would decide who was going to be the winner. And to my surprise, I received the ball and kicked it in a random direction. which happened to be the goal.
For a second, we all just stood there, staring in the direction of the goal and not saying anything. We were all to shocked. But then Jason started cheering, because he had won the game, and before I knew it, I was stuck in a bone crushing hug. "Thank you thank you thank you."
"No problem, now stop breaking my bones", I groaned.
He gave me a sheepish smile, "Sorry."
I shook my head and turned around, only to walk into someones chest.
Bradley.
I smirked, "I told you my football skills were to die for."
"No, you said they were formidable, and they aren't."
"Oh come on, we both saw the goal I made, it was amazing."
"You just had a lot of luck."
I stuck my tongue out at him, "Luck or no luck, we still won, and you're a loser, ha." Oh how I love being childish.
"Oh, right, I still have to get you back for that, I'm not a good loser." And with that, he grabbed me by the waist and slung me over his shoulder.
I started screaming and pounding on his back with my fists, "Bradley! Put me the fuck down!" And then I realised where he was walking us to, "Oh no no no no, don't you dare, if you throw me in the sea like this I will drown you!"
He just chuckled and patted me on the butt, "We'll see about that."
Realising Bradley wasn't going to put me down until we were in the water, I gave up and let him carry me like I was a bag of potatoes. "I'm gonna lick your back if you don't put me down now."
"Do what you need to do, I'll be in the water in a minute anyway, so I could just wash it off then."
I saw that we weren't walking anymore and I knew he could possibly drop me anytime now, and I closed my arms around his waist, so that when he would throw me in the water, he would go down with me. Then I felt him lifting my legs up in the air, making him fall backwards in the water, on top of me.
