I Hate You

Brooke flopped onto the floor and winced at the thud she made, it was loud.

"Hey, do you think that I could still go out for Halloween and get candy?" Shane asked.

"Why not, besides the fact that you're like twenty-one or something like that bro, just take Kim." Dustin suggested. "I'll go with you, free candy."

"Just bring me back some chocolate." Brooke smiled.

"Count me in." Hunter joined in. "Candy."

Brooke looked at Tori and she grinned.

"What exactly are you going to be?" Tori asked.

"How about idiots, you wouldn't even have to dress up." Brooke added.

"Or guys that know the two most complicated girls on the face of the earth." Shane retorted.

"That too." Dustin considered it.

"Or we go out in our motocross gear and skateboarding stuff for you and be like extreme sports guys." Hunter suggested.

"The boys a genius." Shane remarked.

"No, he just has something you don't, it's called a brain." Tori joked.

Shane gave her an odd face and she laughed, Brooke laughed too and soon the whole room was laughing but then interrupted by one of the little girls crying.

"Mommy dearest." Shane joked. "She beckons."

"She's easier than you." Tori grinned. "That and she eats less."

"Growing boy." Shane retorted.

"For like twenty years, right, I think there's a point at which you stop growing." Brooke added.

Dustin patted his friend on the back and chuckled at the girls' victory. He held back a grin and watched the two giggling gals walk down the small hall.

"Bro, Tor always wins with Brooke to back her up." Dustin laughed.

"She doesn't need Brooke to back her up." Hunter joked.

"It's like a natural girls thing, that and PMS." Dustin stated.

"Dude." Shane whined.

"Yeah, that's a pretty bad time for guys." Hunter joked. "Dude, get out of the way."

"Actually, it's only bad because you tend to mess up a lot more during that time, it's almost like you can read my mind." Brooke interrupted the conversation and grinned in the doorframe.

"Is that time now?" Dustin asked, fearful.

"No." Brooke retorted.

Tori crept down the hallway behind Brooke, hunched over, trying to avoid being seen. Hunter eyed her and tried not to laugh. She sprang up behind Brooke and screeched. Brooke jumped three feet in the air and Tori stood there laughing.

"Hey." Brooke glared at her.

Tori didn't say a word; she just looked at Brooke with a grin. The grin soon turned into a normal expression, which turned into an innocent look. Then Tori burst out laughing.

"You are so childish." Brooke remarked.

"Yeah, so?"

"No wonder you picked him." Brooke challenged.

"I don't get it." Shane blurted out. "You two are always in competitions."

"Bro, at least you're not part of it." Dustin remarked.

"Do you feel left out?" Brooke asked with a fake cry.

"Wait, he's right, with three against two we should be working together, not competing." Tori joked.

"See bro, now they're against us." Hunter remarked.
