Chapter 3 - Water Balloons

~Ryder's POV~

"You fucking assholes! I hate you guys so much! Why would you do this to me, you no good son of a bitches! Go die in a hole, morons! Ugh! I'm wearing a white shirt!" Screams Emma as Kyle, Jake, and I throw about twenty water balloons at her.

And I'm laughing my ass off right now.

But you're probably wondering, what the hell is going on?

Well, let me rewind.

As Jake, Kyle, and I drive to the drug store, were not surprised as to how people are reacting when they see us.

People, (mostly girls, some gay guys) are staring at us admiringly. I wink at them, Jake blows kisses at them, while Kyle smiles a fake smile at our "fan club."

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if we actually did have a fan club.

We all three hop out of the car as Jake parks in front of CVS. I stroll to the front doors, and automatically the cold air conditioning hits me.

I walk to the register, with my two best friends following behind me.

"Hey, Julia," I smirk at the pretty girl behind the counter, "where are the water balloons? We kinda need them for a special operation."

Before you ask me why we need water balloons, it's obviously to prank Emma. We are planning to go to school (which we know she's at right now, most likely in the library reading a lame book) and Kyle is going to lead Emma outside and pretend he's about to kiss her (If she doesn't fall for Kyle's charms, we will just carry her outside) and then Jake and I are going to come out of nowhere and give her a little present. We're going to dump water balloons on her head, of course! Remember how I said I was going to ruin her? Well, the plan is in action, and this is the first step! Pretty great plan, right?

"Oh, of course!" She giggles, "walk down the aisle right in front of you, and they should be there to your left!" She says, checking me out in the process.

"Thanks," I say cheekily, writing down my phone number on her hand.

"Hey, how did you know my name was Julia?" She asks me, scrunching her eyebrows together.

"Your name tag on your shirt, of course," I laugh.

"Can we hurry it up here?" Jake sighs from behind us, running his hands through his light brown hair, "we need water balloons!"

Finally giving in to Jake, I wink at Julia and say goodbye, as she blushes a deep crimson red.

"Look, I know you have a major obsession with girls, but man, you need to chill out with your flirting! Everywhere we go, you find an excuse to flirt with a damn girl!" Kyle says, shaking his head.

"I agree with you on that one. He probably just hasn't gotten laid in a while," Jake says to Kyle.

"Excuse me, but I'll have you know, that just last night, I g-" I couldn't finish my sentence as Kyle clamps his hand over my mouth.

"Dude! We don't need to hear about your sexual experiences! Thank you very much!" Kyle says, still putting his hand over my damn mouth.

"Shut the fuck up!" Jake screams from down the aisle, making Kyle flinch from surprise; giving me the perfect opportunity to slip out of his grip on my mouth, "I think we have other important things to talk about. Look, I found the water balloons! And they are multi-colored! Perfect!"
