Love and Blading

Max's POV

I guess we should have let someone babysit Tyson, like Hilary said. Tyson escaped and headed straight for the sweet aisle. We had to split up into two groups to capture Tyson, and finally we did. All of us (including a couple of shop workers, well actually about 7) managed to force Tyson back into the seat. Hilary offered to push the trolley (with the struggling Tyson) in, but me and Kai had to help, or we wouldn't have moved an inch by midnight.

I really think we went through a lot. We had to be stopped at least three times to be charged extra for all the food Tyson had eaten before we got to the checkout. When we got home, Me and Hilary practically collapsed on one sofa while Kai, Tai, Rei plonked themselves on the other. Kenny sat at the dining table typing away on Dizzy, while Tyson shoved food in his face non- stop.

"Tyson, the reason we go to the supermarket and buy three times more food than last time is so that it lasts longer, not that you eat three times more," I said in desperation. "Next time, I'm going alone," panted Hilary. She, me and Kai, as we were pushing the trolley, got the blame for not keeping Tyson under control.

"Why didn't you go alone this time?" asked Kenny, sounding annoyed.

"Remember last time we went to the store and bought toothbrushes without Tyson? Did you want to suffer that again?" Hilary questioned in reply, exasperated. "Oh, yeah, the living hell," I said, and the others nodded.

Later

I can't believe I sat next to Hilary and didn't make a fool of myself. That IS a surprise. As for Tyson escaping, you could see it coming. I tried to make Kai and Rei take him, but no, they said he'd be fine. So much for that, if they call Tyson's incident in the store fine, or maybe even fun.

Anyway, I've been thinking about how to tell Hilary I love her but I mean I can't just walk up to her in front of all the others and say "Hilary, I love you." This is not a bloody TV soap programme. You can't do that in real life. Unless you're proposing and the audience go "ahhhhhhhh, ain't it sweet?"

Oh well, I'll find a way, maybe with Tai's help. That isn't a bad idea. Or maybe it is.
