Chapter Ten: Truth Or Dare Again
"Truth or Dare."
"Truth."
"Who's the prettiest girl in East High?"
"Well...probably my sister..."
"Ryan!"
Ryan grinned as Haylie wacked him on the shoulder, and then he burst out laughing.
"Hey now! You know I was only kidding! Just for that, I will have to challege you to a grape fight."
Haylie smirked.
"What's a grape fight?" she asked, and Ryan smiled.
"Do you have two stem of grapes?"
"Of course, but--"
Ryan let himself into the Anderson household, and went to the kitchen, where in traditional family sense, a bowl of fruit laid neatly stacked in a bowl was on the table.
Ryan grabbed the purple and green stem of the grapes, and handed the purple stem to Haylie, while Ryan had the green stem.
"How a grape fight works is that you have to hit the person until your grapes are gone. Whoever has nothing left wins." Ryan explained.
"And what's the prize if we win?" Haylie asked, and Ryan smiled.
"We'll see when we get there."
At once, Ryan plucked a green grape off his vine, and chucked the grape at Haylie, and Haylie laughed, doing the same.
They ran around the room, chasing each other with grapes being chucked at them. Finally, when the last grape was chucked, Haylie and Ryan compared vines to see who had won.
"I think I did.." Haylie said.
"Um, no. I chucked the last one, remember? So it's me." Ryan protested.
"No, you didn't." Haylie replied.
"Did."
"Didn't."
"Did."
"Didn't."
The conversation went on for awhile, until Ryan smiled.
"Okay, it seems like we can't agree on a winner...let's just call it a draw, okay?" he asked.
"Fine by me." Haylie said, giving him a smile in return.
"And this prize is this..."
Ryan lifted her chin so she was looking into his eyes, and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. For a few minutes, Haylie and Ryan were enjoying the "prize", and then Ryan pulled away.
"I just have a question for you: what started the grape fight?" Haylie asked.
Ryan chuckled, and explained, "When me and Sharpay were young, we used to sneak into the kitchen, and steal the grapes from the cooks. We kept at it until we got caught, but it's one of the best memories I could think of as a child."
"That sounds about right. Every little kid needs to have a knack for fighting." Haylie explained as the cleaned up the grapes.
"What about you?" he asked.
"Me and Mackenize weren't really rowdy as children. We were angels."
"Haylie, you fought well! Surely you didn't have any memories as a child that involves fighting?"
"Maybe, but I'm not telling you." Haylie said, and he sighed.
"Did I miss something?"
Haylie and Ryan looked around to see Mrs. Anderson standing there with a bag of foods in her arms.
"No, of course, mom. We were just talking." Haylie said, and Ryan snickered.
"Really. Then what's this?" she asked, pointing to a lone grape with the point of her shoe.
"Oh. That...well, me and Ryan were having a grape fight." Haylie said.
"I guess I could live with that. If you are done, help me unpack, will you?" she asked, and Ryan and Haylie followed her into the kitchen.
"What does she have? Special mom senses?" Ryan asked.
Haylie laughed as she gave him a smile.
"No. She's just like that."
"Ryan! Haylie! A little help would be nice!" Mrs. Anderson called, and they laughed.
"I guess she does." Ryan said as the went to go help her unpack.
