'Will you shut up?' I responded abruptly.
Cliff jumped up, grabbed a pillow, taking advantage and smacked me with it. "C'mon, focus." He grinned and I grinned back. This is a much better distraction. I grabbed a pillow of my own and run at him, smacking away in an attempt to knock him down. It doesn't work, and soon I am pushed into the couch. I take fake deep breaths and when he turned to look at Joel, I smacked him on the back of his head and jumped on his back.
"Ha-ha!" I shouted in victory and hopped right back off.
"I think you're just about ready to take on the world." He turned to smirk at me. I laughed and Joel does too. "You're a weird bunch." He said and I laughed before turning to Cliff again. "I'm gonna grab some water." I announced and stupidly stare at the floor, turning to walk towards the kitchen. I hit a hard chest in the process.
"Oops sor-" I started but when I saw Elijah smiling at me, my breath caught in my throat. "Well hello there." He chuckled.
