I sat on the couch, waiting for Runo and Julie to finish getting dressed. Five minutes passed, and they were still in there. I took the remote of the arm of the couch and watched some cartoons. I watched the television forever! After 20 minutes, they finally came out!
"Are you two friends now?" I asked as I turned off the television.
"I guess." Runo said.
"Okay. I'm going home. So…see you two later." I said as I ran out the door.
"Bye, Dan!" The girls said together. I hopped on my bike and headed home. When I got inside, my mother started drilling me!
"Dan! You never clean your room! Get up there and clean it!" My mom yelled at me with one hand on her hip and her finger pointed in my face.
"Alright, ma! Geesh!" I complained as I went up stairs.
"Don't be rude or you won't be eating dessert tonight!"
"Okay, ma." I said with a sigh. I went to my room. Tell me why she was yelling because there was a sock on the floor! I was heated. I picked up the sock and threw it in the hamper.
"Yeah. My room was super messy." I said as I lay on my bed. I heard my computer beep. I sat up and looked at the computer. It was an IM from somebody. I sat in my chair and opened the chat room.
-Hey, Dan. It was Shun. I started typing back.
- What's up Shun?
-My mother and I are coming over today. Just a fair warning.
-Okay. Soooo…what time will this happen.
-at about 4:00
-okay, see ya soon.
Was how the conversation went. I ran down stairs.
"Dan?" My father said.
"Yes?"
"Did you pick up that sock that was on your floor?"
"Yes!"
"Come here. Your mother and I have to talk to you about something." My father said with a sigh. I walked into the kitchen.
"I'm pregnant!" My mom said happily.
"What?" I leaned over the table.
"You're gonna be a big brother." My father said with a huge smile. I just looked at them awkwardly.
"I told you that he wouldn't like it." My dad whispered to my mom. She nudged him and then looked back at me.
"A baby is wonderful Dan." My mom tried to make me understand.
"No. It's all good. It's just that, I'm not gonna be changing any diapers." Dan stated.
"You will if I want you to." My father said. I sighed and then walked out. Why a baby? I'm the only child.
Ding Dong
The bell rang. I walked slowly to the door. I opened the door. Of course, it was Shun.
"Hey, Dan!" He said with a smile.
"Hey Shun! Come on in." I said to him and his mother. They came in. My mom stood up and hugged Shun's mom.
"Let's go to my room." I said. We went to my room and we sat on separate bean bag chairs.
"I have to talk to you." I said to Shun.
"What's up?"
"I can't take Julie or Runo anymore! They are always fighting!" I said as I moved my hands up and down dramatically.
"They don't fight around me." Shun said as he grabbed a game controller. I set up the game and we started playing as we talked.
"By the way, did Billy get home yet?" Shun asked.
"Nah! He's still on vacation." I said as I turned the corner in the racing game. Shun shot a bomb at me.
"Dang!" I said in a whisper.
"I think I like Alice." He said to me.
"Nice choice! What's the but?" I asked.
"But…I don't think that she pays enough attention to me to like me back."
"Maybe she's a secret stalker." I laughed and teased as I shot a bomb at Shun.
"Dang! No. I don't think so Dan!" He said as he rammed my car.
"You suck!" I said as I tried to stop my car from spinning out of control.
"I like Runo."
"I know." Shun said with a smirk. I looked at him.
"How?" I was so curious.
"You blush every time she compliments you or choses to help you with anything." He said as he crossed the finish line.
"You bumb!" I said with a sigh.
"Ha! Ha! You lose! Again!" He said teasing.
"Whatever. I command a do over!" I said to him.
"I'm just gonna keep beating you." He said a with a smile.
Ding Dong
The doorbell rang again. Shun and I just kept playing the game. All of the sudden, Alice came in.
"Hey, Alice." I said while I turned my car.
"Hey. Hey, Shun." Alice said as she waved her hand.
"Hi. Shun said with a straight face. I looked at him, then back at the television.
"Hey, is Runo around?" Alice asked.
"Nah! She's at home." I said as I turned my car again. Shun tried to ram me, but I dodged.
"Ha! Ha!" I said as I rammed him.
"Ah! You…suck eggs." He said quietly. I laughed and so did he.
"You suck eggs." I said as quiet as he did.
"No. You do, that's why I said it." He said. We were laughing.
"You guys are weird." Alice said as she sat next to Shun. He blushed a little, but hid it quickly.
"I saw that." I said laughing.
"Shut..up!" Shun said as he bombed me when I was right at the finish line!
"Ah! That's just wrong!" I yelled at him as he crossed the finish line before me again. He started laughing.
Ding Dong
The doorbell rung again.
"Who could that be now?" I said as I threw the remote controller on the ground. The next thing we knew, Runo came in. I blushed immediately.
"Hey, everyone." Runo said.
"Hi." We all said together.
