The Broken Black Sparrow

CHAPTER 7: SLEEPOVER AND PILLOW FIGHT

** SARAH’S POV **

“Ok, my mom agreed for the sleepover so get your jams ready. I will be there in 15” I shot my best friend a text, packing my pyjamas in my backpack along with my game controller.

‘Oh yeah, I and Angela are video game fanatics, so when we have sleepover, we end up playing action games among other things’ *wink*

“Hey, you” I held the controller up with a winning smile plastered on my face while she rolled her eyes ‘Coz she always ends up losing to me!’

“Why do you have to get those? You always win and I never even get a chance to kick your ass once” she whined opening the door wider for me.

“Evening Luce (short for Lucia who is Angela’s mom)” I waved to her as she finished loading the dishes into the dishwasher.

“Evening darlin” she looked at me a little confused and then to Angela who was giving her a toothy smile “Angela… it would be nice of you to let me know when you are having a sleepover so I could have prepared late night snacks for you guys”.

“It is alright Luce” I held up the bag of chips and chocolates that I brought along with me “I have got it covered. Good night!”

She chuckled shaking her head side to side shooing us “Get out of here”.

We both ran up the stairs to Angela’s room and changed into jammies “Ok since you are being a whiner, we’ll play teams against teams so you and I are going to team up and find someone out there who wants to get their ass kicked, what do you say?”

She winked at me getting comfortable on the little makeshift cushion bed that we prepared to sit on “Let’s get to it then!”

A team named ‘Wolf boys’ is the one that we decided to go up against and what do you know, they put up a good fight but we handed their ass to them “Yeah… that’s right… you got burned Wolf Boys. Oww… oww… owwwww” we both howled into our mics landing a blow to their already insulted egos.

“Venomous Angels, huh? We let you win so that YOU girls could have a little joy of seeing the boys defeated but we are just getting started so what do you say we go another round and see who wins?” the guy from the Wolf Boys team, whose avatar’s name is Reap, spoke up.

“You boys are all take with no action. If you manage to kick our asses then we will give you any of the powers for your avatar, which I highly doubt! But if you get your asses kicked then you are going to change your team name to ‘Dickville Boys!’ Deal?” I looked over at Angela who was chuckling at the name I just coined.

I could hear them breathing hard ‘So you are pissed, well that is what you get for underestimating women power!’ “Fine!” Reap grumbled out and the line went silent, they were probably discussing their strategies and their plan of attack ‘Too bad you are playing with the pros, boys!’

Angela and I fist bumped each other “You ready bro?” I asked rounding my shoulders to ease up my tensed muscles.

“Born ready. Let us get these poser losers” she wiggled her wrists and cracked her neck like we were getting into some real fight. We did our trademark fist bumps “Now, let us show them how two Italian chicks hand them their asses”.

“Yo… dickville boys, you ready?” I saw Angela gasp in my peripheral vision.

“What did you just call us?” there were multiple grunts and roars ‘s**t! There goes my mouth again, running off like a wild dog. It is going to get me into trouble one day!’

“Ok, let’s face it, you guys are going to lose big time, so might as well get used the name that you are going to be using soon after it displays ‘Game Over’ and our team wins, ‘Venomous Angels’ never lost a battle before and we are not going to start now!” We both scoffed and I got a pack of chips open and placed it between us.

Angela covered her mic “Sarah!! You seriously need to put a filter on that mouth of yours. We do not know who those guys are and what they are capable of doing, so, please put a restraint!” she hissed gritting her teeth and glared at me ‘When Angela tries to glare it doesn’t look scary but looks rather adorable since she looks like a cute little puppy that is trying to act pissed but it is not!’ I waved her off “They are the ones that started this, and I am not doing anything that they did not want me to do!” I gave her a toothy grin before giving her a flying kiss “I know you love me”.

She shook her head, yet again ‘I know, I am incorrigible, but hey what’s life without a little fun, right?’ “God! I really pity the guy that is going to come into your life, IF at all you let any guy come into your life!”

“Hey what is that supposed to mean?” I faked an offended look hoping to make her feel guilty but all it earned me was her toothy grin.

“Hey, look they are starting the game” she yelped, I ended up glaring at the side of her head.

“I am going to get you for that!” I bit out, turning my attention back to the game.

This time around the guys were putting up a good fight and it felt like they went on defense this time, while we went on attack mode and attacked their team, killing 3 of their avatars “Yeeeeaaahhh take that as*holes” I screamed into my mic fist bumping with Angela when she killed another one of their avatars.

“Now, home stretch baby… home stretch…” we said to ourselves as we went after Reap’s avatar “Be ready to rename Wolf Boys with Dickville Boys, fuc*ers” Reap started laughing but his nerves were evident in his tone “Laugh all you want, Reap, but we own your as* now”.

“Oh, yeah, baby girl, you have not seen anything yet. Hit me with all that you got!” he laughed maniacally as his avatar fought Angela’s and mine.

After another 30 minutes and with Angela’s avatar killed, it was just my avatar and Reap’s, still standing. We fought for another 20 minutes before I killed Reap’s avatar “Well, Wolf Boys time to change your name to Dickville Boys! Go on let us see that name grace that screen”.

“Fu*k you!” he muttered into the mic before their team name changed.

“That’s better. See you another time, Dickville Boys. Venomous Angels, signing out!” we dug into the snacks “Ha ha… that was a good game. Those guys did have some skills up their sleeves!”

“Yeah they did” Angela wiped her hands over her pyjama pants as she got to her feet “I am toast bro… gotta snooze!” plopping on the bed she pats the place beside her and I jumped on the bed hitting her with the pillow “Oh fu*k!! You hit me with a god damn…” I cut her off but hitting her face with my pillow “Oh you are on!”

She hit me back with her pillow and just like that a full – blown pillow fight erupted with lots of giggles and squeals before we finally had to stop to catch our breath “God! That was fun!” we said in unison while we panted, laying on the bed.

“When was the last time we had a pillow fight?” she said dreamily with her eyes glued to the ceiling.

“When we were eleven and we won that dance competition called Little Stars and then Ethan gave you that rose while Mike gave me one too. We were both so excited that we never slept that night and decided to have a pillow fight” I chuckled remembering that night like it was just yesterday.

“Ahhh… what times they were” she got up on her elbows peering at me “I don’t know why you never dated Mike, he grew up and turned into a really hot guy”.

“You dated Ethan and you saw where that took us. We stopped speaking for months as you made new friends with his clique and you found out a few months into your dating that he was cheating on you. Guys are cu*ts that way and Mike being Ethan’s friend was not helping his case and FYI if I ever meet a guy like Ethan, I will most definitely kick his ass” we started laughing.

Angela glanced at her phone and sighed “We should really get some sleep if we don’t want to be looking like zombies walking around the school. It is hard enough that we are already have a target painted on our backs, to walk like zombies is only going to make it worse”.
