"You are so not as 'ew' as I am.' He says in a lame way.
"Please, your stupidity won't let you be as much 'ew' as me." I say, closing the door behind me.
"Okay then what does my 'stupidity' do then?" He asks.
I give him a blank look. "It makes you more stupid then you are."
He scoffs. "You wish."
"I can't with what's already happened." I inform him.
He gets in the car, putting a hand to his chest. "That hit me right here." He pats his heart.
"Boo hoo," I say. "I came to hang with you not listen to you cry like the baby you are."
He starts the car, backing out of my driveway. "And I came to hang with you not have you insult me the whole time." He is fighting a smile.
"That's me." I say. "I insult you and tease you, if not I'm nobody."
"Are you saying your nobody without me?" He smiles, looking at me.
"Um, ew, no. I'm saying that if you want to hang with me- you gotta hang with all of me. As in my teasing and insulting self. If not, then you aren't really hanging with me."
He rolls his eyes. "You're lucky I can handle you."
"Can you?" I ask. "Can you really?"

"Why are we at the mall?" I ask as he parks, getting out of the car.
I follow him, trying to catch up with his long strides. "Butt hurt jerk?"
He stops, making me almost slam into him. "Hmm?" He asks, turning to look at me.
"Why are we at the mall?" I said to him.
He shrugs. "I gotta get some stuff, so can you if you want."
I wrinkle my nose. "Like shopping?"
"Yeah kind of." He says and starts to walk again.
"What do you have to get?" I ask.
"Something for my older brother." He said.
"You have a brother?" I ask.
We walk into the mall. "Yeah, but he is out of high school."
"Oh," I say. "Well what are you planning on getting him?"
"Is this ask twenty questions or something." He asks, walking in a shop.
"It can be."
He looks at the watches, sighing. "Fine you go first."
I put a finger on my chin, thinking. "Favorite color?"
"Why does everyone ask that?" He looks at me.
I smack his arm. "It isn't your turn yet, but hurt jerk."
"Whatever. My favorite color is. . . Blue I guess."
"Mkay." I nod my head. "Your turn." He looks back to the watches and chooses a black one.
"What is your favorite show?" He asks.
I think for a second. "Supernatural."
"Really?" He looks thoughtful.
"It's my turn." I scoff. "You suck at this game. Will you ever ask Kandi out?"
His neck gets pink. "I don't know." He clears his throat. "Do you like anybody?"
He puts the watch on the counter to ring up the black watch.
