Elephants - A OneRepublic/Ryan Tedder Fanfic

Chapter 50 - Bowling

We were at the bowling alley 5 minutes later.

“Bye losers!” Susan called out as she pulled me in ahead of them. Dragging me to the lane Danny, Mark and Glen were sat at.

“Team Script!” We cheered together.

“We got you both a bottle of coke. Hope that’s okay.” Mark informed us.

“That’s great. We love you.” I laughed. The rest wandered in around this time, sitting opposite us. The names were already on the board, everything was ready to go. Our team was first, because it was alphabetical (I don’t want to know why) I had to go first. “Pressure.” I commented as I walked up and chose a ball, there was music playing too. I realised it was ‘Centuries’, Fall Out Boy’s new single, which I love. So I was singing along, Susan was doing her little dance as I did the equivalent with a bowling ball. I got myself all mentally prepared, and managed to get a spare. Which I was pretty happy with. Danny was up next, doing a little victory dance when he got a strike.

“WOO! WE RULE!” Susan shouted happily.

“Seconded.” I laughed. Giving Danny a high five. “They are going down.” Our team got another strike (Glen) and the others were spares. Which was pretty good. We had decided we would give them at least one go each without sabotage, see if it really was an issue. Eddie got a strike, Brent and Drew got a spare. It was Ryan’s turn to go, unfortunately I was having a drink at the time.

“Is that the sexiest you can do?” Susan criticised. Not only did it scare the shit out of me, but only Susan would insult someone because of how they drink. Just as Ryan started his swing, I began to choke on the coke. Not like a joke, I was honestly going to die. (Wow lot of rhyming words there…) Susan was banging my back saying “Breathe, Breathe!” Which made me laugh as well. I honestly thought I was going to die for a minute. When I realised I hadn’t died but had closed my eyes and stopped dying, I relaxed and opened my eyes to see a really angry Ryan. I looked up at the board, it said ‘Gutterball’. Shit.

“You wanna play dirty? I can play dirty.” He warned before going back to his side.

“Dammit Susan!” I complained. “This is so your fault.” She found it hysterical.

“You and Ryan are playing dirty.” She gasped eventually, I had to hide the smile. Only Susan would comment on the dirty minded interpretation.

“Thanks bitch.”

“You’re welcome jerk.” That was pretty much how it was, Ryan ‘accidently’ starting coughing as I took my go, I only missed one pin though. Susan did great, she got a strike and when it was Brent’s go she threw peanuts at him. Zach did well too, I mean when he wasn’t messing about. He didn’t care too much about winning.

To sum it all up; Team Script won, by quite a bit. Obviously they tried to say we cheated, which we did towards the end, but so did they.

“Change teams around?” Ryan suggested.
