"Okay, isn't offering to kick some guy's ass good enough?" Once again, Ryan held out the pomegranate. "Come on, just one bite. It'll quench your thirst"
I sighed and placed my books carefully on the sidewalk once again. But this time instead of faking a seizure, I held out my hand. "Fine, give it here."
Ryan's face lit up as he tossed me the pomegranate, which I barely caught.
I stared at the fruit in my hand. Sure it looked tasty, but why was I so cautious to take a bite? I was just plying around about Hades coming here to get me, right? Of course! Why am I so paranoid?
Without another thought, I took a huge bite from the pomegranate. As normal as my life was, nothing happened.
"See," Ryan said while interrupting my train of thoughts. "Nothing happened. Hades isn't gonna get you."
I laughed. "I know dick face! I was just kidding about-"
Without warning, the ground began to rumble ferociously, causing my neat stack of books to topple everywhere and Ryan and I to fall to the ground. But that wasn't the only result. Car alarms began to go off and trash cans were toppling and spilling.
