ANAYA

'I still hate you,' I said to Avil, glaring at him.

'And I still hate you too,' Avil said.

And those were the last words we'd said before we were crushed in hugs by our friends.

'You're okay,' Isla shouted.

'Damn right, I am,' I smirked.

'Woah man! Not a scratch on you. I'm proud, bro,' I heard Bryce tell Avil.

'You should be. Should've seen the guys I took down,' Avil boasted.

'You mean, the guys that made you black out,' I corrected Avil.

'Who asked you?' Avil shouted.

'No one. I just corrected you from making a mistake,' I smirked.

'Whatever,' Avil said. 'Everythings back to normal now, huh?'

'Not quite,' Isla said.

'How so?' I asked, folding my arms.

And within the next five seconds, Bryce had his arm around Isla. I was shocked and I'm pretty sure that shock was evident on my face. Isla liked Bryce and now, he was her boyfriend! I was most definitely happy for Isla but that meant that I would have to hang out with Bryce and Avil more and it also meant that I couldn't prank Bryce anymore. Boo hoo! That wouldn't quite do with me.

'Isla, even though Bryce is your boyfriend, it still means that I can prank him, right? Please tell me I can,' I pleaded.

'Of course you can. But not as severe as before,' Isla said, giving me permission.

'Yes! Something's better than nothing right?' I said. 'Thank you so much.'

'Babe,' Bryce protested. 'You can't let her do that to me.'

'Common on, Bryce. Don't be a big baby. Everything is back to normal except for the fact that you and I are dating,' Isla said.

'That means I can prank Isla right?' Avil asked.

'No,' Bryce said. 'She's my girlfriend dude and I'm gonna protect her. You mess with my girl and I'll mess you up, bro or not.'

'Dude! Whatever happened to "Bros before Hoes"?' Avil asked.

'That flew out the window the minute Isla agreed to become my girlfriend. And don't ever call her a hoe again,' Bryce said, glaring at Avil.

'This is not fair,' Avil stomped his foot. 'Anaya gets to prank you but you won't let me prank Isla.'

'Oh, get over it, you big baby!' I said.

'If I'm a baby then you are a.. a...' Avil was out of words. Hah!

'You can rack your brain for that word later on. For now, we're having a prank off. I still remember our argument before we got kidnapped, so, I'm going to prove to you that I'm the number one pranker,' I said.

'Oh, you're on. The prank off will commense in two hours,' Avil declared.

'In three, two, one..'

Bryce and Isla stood there, shaking their heads while Avil and I ran to our respective houses to begin preparing for the prank war.

It couldn't have been more normal.

Hey guys,

I know it's a tiny chapter but it'll probably get longer once I start editing this book. At least, I updated fast. Am I right?

Anyway, it's just the Epilogue left now.

How many of you are sad Anaya and Avil didn't end up together? I am too.

Comment down your thoughts, share your feelings and vote away your frustration. 

Well, I've got nothing else to say, so...

See you all next update. Bye.

Peace :)

Your author....
