Just Plain Fun

So we all crowded onto Ron’s couch in front of his 52” plasma. Winter had picked Spiderman, her all time favorite.

It was just how it use to be, Ron then Winter then me then April. We were all cramped together but none of us minded, we were all just good friends.

We weren’t quiet throughout the movie. We had a popcorn fight, Ron and I ganging up against the girls. They won. We were all rolling on the ground laughing when Ron’s mom walked downstairs.

“Winter, April! I haven’t seen you two in ages!” She gushed. They both composed themselves and ran to give their ‘adapted’ mother a big hug. Ron and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes, knowing those three would talk for hours.

Around 6 p.m. our parents began calling, worried because we weren’t home. We all left Ron’s house smiling, anticipating the school day tomorrow and the looks on our schoolmates faces to see that the Jealousy Crew had reunited again!
