The next day, Sammy and Craig walked to school together as usual. Spinner, Paige, Marco, Jimmy, and Ellie met up with them.
"You really hit Ash?" Ellie asked. Usually, she would defend her friend but lately…Ashley was being really…what is the word? Annoying?
"Yeah," Craig said.
"Don't bring it up," Sammy replied, squeezing his hand.
They nodded.
They walked into the school. Ashley bumped right into Craig. Craig stared at her, she glared knives at him and took off.
"I hate people being mad at me," he told Sammy.
"You've always been like that," she said.
He nodded. "Yeah," he replied. "You know me."
Craig dropped her hand and put his arm around her waist and hugged her close to him, tickling her side.
"Stop," she said. "I'm ticklish."
"You've always been like that," Craig repeated her words.
"You know me!"
He smiled and they walked to their locker and went to their next class.
