"Ugh! My head hurts!" I groaned holding my head.

"It'll be okay. Try to relax" Sam said while holding the ice pack to my head.

"Okay? Are you serious? I can practically see unicorns chasing butterflies right-ouch- now!"

"You and your imagination" Sam shook her her laughing.

Yeah! Me and my imagination.

Confused? Well, let me take you back in time.....

*1 HOUR EARLIER*

"Come on! We're going to get late for gym" Sam dragged me through the hall.

"Ugh! Why do we have gym as a subject? Couldn't it be something like meditation? It is far more relaxing and is even good for health"

"Shut up and hurry"

We ran through the corridors and finally made it in time,huffing and puffing. Okay, that was just me.

"Thank God we made it. It is so hard to drag your lazy ass when it comes to gym," she huffed.

"Awh I know you still love me, Beary," I teased.

Sam hated when someone pronounced her last name wrong.

"Oh you better run if you want to save you life Bent" she said advancing towards me.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" I shouted as she chased me in the gym.

"I'm coming for you!" Sam shouted as she increased her pace. Let's just say she was really good at running and I sucked.

I turned back to see her just a few meters behind me. Suddenly her eyes widened as she looked past me and called out my name.

"ALI! Watch ou-" was all I heard before colliding with someone and falling hard on my butt.

"Ow" I rubbed my bum as i stood up.

I kinda froze when I saw who I had collided with.

"You little twat! How dare you?"

And I think you just guessed it.

"I'm sorry. Actually I was running and I-"

"Shut up! You just made things worse Bent. Now just wait and watch," she snapped.

I face palmed myself as she strutted her way towards the volleyball court.

"I think you are in deep trouble" Sam commented from behind me.

"You think?"

She was about to reply when our gym teacher blew the whistle. "Girls! Get your butts up here. Today we're playing a volleyball match"

Oh great. Looks like Lady luck was on my side. Not.

Volleyball, a game in which I sucked happened to be a horror game for me, since I always tend to get injured.

"Okay. Who will be the captains?"

Two girls, Beccy and Miranda volunteered and the teams started dividing. Each of the captains chose one girl at a time.

"I choose Sam" Beccy declared.

"Um...Shelly" Miranda said.

"Selda"

"Helen"

"Jade"

"Kira"

"Lindy"

"Kelly"

And the names went on and on until there were only two girls left, out of whom I was one.

Please let me be with Sam. Please let me be with Sam.

Please let me be with Sam, I prayed.

Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please.

"Gwen" Beccy finally said.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

"Alyssa, go to Miranda's team," the teacher shouted from the bleachers.

I slowly proceeded towards the other half of the court, cursing my luck today.

"Beware" I heard someone whisper.

At that, I couldn't control my laughter. "Beware? Who even says that?" A few others snickered with me.

I turned to see a very angry and embarrassed Shelly. Her face was bright red due my idiotic mouth.

Maybe I needed to keep my mouth shut 'cause as soon as the game started, my doom approached.

During the whole game, Shelly 'accidentally' missed a few 27 balls which again 'accidentally' hit my head every single damn time.

The whole volleyball match became more of let's-hit-Alyssa match. And that is how I ended up in the medical room....

*Present time*

"Hey, I'll have to go to my class 'cause I have a test due. Will you be okay?" Sam asked, looking concerned.

I gave her a reassuring smile and nodded.

She went away, leaving me alone, surrounded by the deadly white coloured walls and no one else near me *sigh*.

Wait! Since when did I indulge in melodrama?

Oh my God. Shelly must've hit me hard in the head. I'm gonna go insane like this.

***

POKE.

POKE.

"UGH! Candy! Stop poking my head"

"Does it hurt?" he asked, stopping.

"YES! A LOT!"

"Oh" Poke.

Poke.

Poke.

Poke.

"Now?"

I glared at him hard.

"You know what? This is all your fault, you dumb-headed jerk" I nearly shouted.

"Why did you have to come up and say 'Oh you know, she doesn't have a cat'"

"First of all, I did not say 'Oh you know' plus, 'he stole my cat' wasn't a brilliant excuse"

"It might've worked, keeping in mind how brainless your girlfriend is" I retorted.

"Yeah. And looks like you've lost a plenty of brain cells too"

"It can happen if a person stays with you for a long time"

And the argument continued....

Yeah so after arguing for like what seemed like quarter of an hour, Candy suddenly stopped. I gave him a questioning look but his eyes widened in alarm and he suddenly pushed me aside and quickly covered himself with the blanket and put pillows on top of him.

I was about to say something when I heard the door open.

"Hey, How are you feeling?" Sam came up to me.

Oh. So that is why he hid himself. Must say he's quick. Maybe he isn't that bad of a friend after all.

"I'm okay. Better, I guess" I answered honestly.

"Oh I was jus- wait, why do you have so many pillows hogging up the bed?" Uh-Oh! What do I say to her?

I shifted uncomfortably and Candy grabbed my shin. Oh NO NO NO.

That DEVIL!!

And why am I ready to utter the colourful language of profanities, you ask?

Apparently my shin is ticklish. And only Candy knows this.

"I-haha-um don't-haha- know"

That devil of a-

"Um, okay. But why are you laughing?" she asked, confused.

"I. Don't. Know." I tried putting up a poker face but I again burst into a fit of giggles.

He is SO DEAD!!

"Okaaaaay. I think you should rest for a bit more" She said giving me weird looks.

"Okaeeeeeeeeeeeee" I giggled and chuckled again. I was probably looking like a child on sugar rush.

I could feel Candy trying his best to control his laughter but was shaking a bit, trying to control it.

"Okay. Uh- see you later" Sam said and walked of with a half amused and half confused expression.

The moment I thought it was okay for me to let go of the tingly feeling, I burst into laughter and kicked Candy out of the bed. He fell down with a loud 'thump'.

Now I laughed my real laughter.

"Why did you push me off like that? My butt hurts now," He said rubbing his bottoms.

I glared and got up, forgetting about my head injury-okay, maybe I'm exaggerating but it still hurts!- and I spoke.

"Oh yeah? You wanna ask that again?" I took slow steps towards him and shot daggers through my eyes.

His face was PRICELESS. He looked like the time when I'd scared him when we were around eight years old.....

I had made a plan to scare him by hanging two white pillows from the ceiling and had covered them with his white bed sheet. I had fitted the pillows into one of his t-shirts and his favourite boxer shorts. So when it was around midnight, my plan came into action....

We were going to Candy's room after playing out for a long time.

"Candy?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you afraid of ghosts?" I asked.

"What?! Ghosts?! Haha! The ghosts are scared of me!"

I secretly smirked. "Oh really?"

"Ofcourse. If they see me, they'll even come begging for my autograph"

"Wow. You're so brave!" I was just giving him an ego boost so that l could tease him even more later on.

"Hehe. I know"

"Oh. Hmmmmm. Hey I'm gonna go to the washroom. Okay? I'll be back in a few minutes"

"Okay I'll wait for you outside the washroom" he said

"No, you go to your room. I'll come one my own"

"No, it's ok. l'll stay here"

"Is someone-ahem- afraid?"

"A-Afraid? Ha-ha. N-no" he laughed nervously.

"Prove it" I said narrowing my eyes

"Okay" he tried to be confident.

"Go then"

"Fine!"

As he went out of sight, I quickly climbed out of the window and entered his room through the other window, where I had hung the ghost.

As soon as I heard him enter and close the door, I took my position behind the ghost. I peeked through a slight hole in the bed sheet and as her turned, I shouted "BOOGEY MAN!!!!"

And as soon as I did that, I heard a very girlish scream,"AAAAAAAAAAAH"

I jumped out and quickly hid again behind the pillow and started laughing without making any sound. Apparently Aaron hadn't noticed me. But I didn't notice that I accidentally pulled the white cover from over the pillows.

'Busted,'I thought. 'Candy'll know now'

But instead of Candy's sigh of relief, I heard something which made me double over in laughter.

He shouted,"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH. BOOGEYMAN WORE MY UNDIE" and he slipped and face-planted himself on the ground.

And with that, I tripled over in laughter. Candy soon realized what happened and carried a pout, but it was already too late. And as for me, I laughed and laughed until my cheekbones and my stomach hurt.

I swear I had never even cried that much due to pain as I shed tears while laughing at that time.

Returning back to now, I decided to do a similar thing. I even switched on my phone for his reaction, just in case.

As I advanced with a slow pace and almost reached him, I shouted ,"BOOGEY MAN!!"

I had half expected that it won't work. But as soon as I heard a scream, I was proved wrong and I again doubled over in laughter.

OMG! I was so going to use this against him!!

It turned out to be a not-so bad day after all!
