Define Friends

Chapter 49

What he didn't expect was for Sophia to tackle his legs. Jumping off the bed Sophia dived towards his legs, grabbing them and pulling. Collin fell backwards onto the floor.

"Hello!" Sophia said cheerfully.

"Hello once more," Collin said, looking down towards Sophia.

"So, what is your new hypothesis?"

"Act carefully."

"What?"

"That is my new hypothesis."

"Hmm. Cool."

"Do you know where my MacBook is located?"

"Why would I tell you?"

"It would be awfully nice to know."

"Nah, I am not going to tell you."

"Then, you ought to tell me because I don't know if I have schoolwork due. You know I have classes outside of Ridgeclaw."

"Hmph."

Collin stares down, waiting for a response back from Sophia, "Ahem."

"Fine."

"So... where is it?"

"Look downstairs on the counter."

Collin slides out from Sophia's grip and makes his way downstairs once more. He goes to the counter and finds the MacBook there as promised. After opening the MacBook, he checks his classes and checks if anyone attempted to talk to him. Nobody did as it turns out. He makes his way back up the stairs once more and stops at Sophia's door. This time, he pokes only his head in to see what was going on.

Sophia was just laying on the bed, waiting for him to return.

"Ah, no surprises this time?" Collin walks in.

"Nope, none."

He takes a seat in front of Sophia on the ground, "Not sure how to feel."

"Hmm. I don't know."

"Do you happen to be ticklish?"

"No."

"Ah, my dad isn't ticklish either... I need to get a list of people who aren't ticklish." Collin says to himself.

"Well cool."

He points to Sophia, "Tell me a cool fact about yourself now."

"Why should I?"

Smugly, "It'd be cool."

"Nah."

"What's a fact about you?"

"Hmmm. I have no clue."

"What are you thinking at this moment?"

"I am not telling you."

"The fact you have no clue?"

"No."

"Ok then," Collin plops down on the ground facing towards the ceiling. This was the time to relax, he'd hope...

"What are you doing?" Sophia asks, looking at him.

"Enjoying the carpeting and ceiling all at once."

"Wow, what an amazing use of your time." Sophia says sarcastically.

"Your sarcasm hasn't gone unnoticed. I just wish to enjoy the carpeting and ceiling. Nothing more or less. Do not read further into this."

"Sure, I'll try not to."
