Ryan’s pov --10 years of age--

 

Brandie is so stupid sometimes. But ya know, oh well. I’m her best friend, so I have to deal with it. Speak of the devil the door to my room opened and Brandie stumbled in smiling,

 

“I hit my head on a door.”

 

I raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you alright?”

 

She shrugged and sat on the floor smiling, “I don’t think so.”

 

Naturally I just shrugged before grabbing a comic book and starting to flip through it. Occasionally Brandie would curse about her homework, or complain that the radio wasn’t playing good music. That I couldn’t argue with. They were playing random weird crap.

After a few hours my mom came into my room and took one look at Brandie, who was laying on the floor counting stars, before asking,

 

“What happened to her?”

 

I glanced up from my comic book before replying, “She walked into a door.”

 

My mom nodded before asking, “So what do you guys want for dinner?”

 

Brandie then threw a stuffed animal at me as I replied, “Chinese.”

 

My mom laughed and Brandie added, “Ryan’s being a bed potato. Maybe if we eat him  

(NOT LIKE THAT PERVERTS![OLIVIA]) he’ll be more interesting.”

 

I gave Brandie a look and she stuck her tongue out at me. Lazily I reached over and grabbed scissors off my desk and used them to point at her stating,

 

“I will cut off your tongue.”

 

Instantly she stopped sticking her tongue out at me and covered her mouth with both hands exclaiming,

 

“Screw you!”


My mom shook her head and walked out as I laughed, muttering, “I swear there’s something wrong with those kids.”
