Josh Burrage ~ Fall

Josh was sprawled out on my bed. I was at my desk, studying for an upcoming test.

"I'm bored." he said.

"I know, Josh. You've said so for the past half hour." I replied, not looking up from my work. "Get a book and read." I add, nodding to my bookshelf.

"But I don't wanna read!" he whines.

I pinch the bridge of my nose. "Then write a story or something! I don't know! Just don't bother me. I need to study."

"Fine." he grumbles back.

Less than 2 minutes later, Josh comes up behind me and wraps one of his arms around me. The other snakes around my head and takes the pencil out of it.

"Hey!" I protest. I jump up and try to take it back, but he holds it just out of reach. Me and my dang height.

"You've been studying for 5 hours straight. It's not healthy." he tells me. "You need to take a break."

I grumble under my breath and take another pencil out, knowing that Josh wouldn't give my current pencil back.

"I'm not going to take a break." I replied, going back to my studying. "My final is in 2 days, and I'm not wasting any time. You're not going to stop me from studying."

I started writing, but my pencil was taken out of my hand again about a second later.

"Give it!" I whined, glaring at Josh, who completely ignored it.

"I will if you take a break from studying." he suggested.

My eyes glinted with evil and I smirked. "Never."

Josh shrugged. "Suit yourself."

But before he could do anything, I elbowed him to the floor and ran out of my room. I stopped at the stairs. A few seconds later, he ran out of my room and stopped a few feet away from me.

"Take a break? Please?" he pleaded.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Really? My answer's still no."

Josh sighed. "You asked for it."

He lunged at me but I quickly dodged him and kicked the back of his knee, making his knee buckle. He fell, but grabbed me and dragged me down with him. He fell on his back, taking the impact for the both of us.

"I'm not going down without a fight." I challenged him.

Then before I could do anything, he flipped us so that I was trapped between him and the floor. 

"Give up yet?" he asked.

"Not yet." I replied, smirking. And with newfound strength, I flipped us back, with me on top.

"We could do this all day, ya know." he told me.

"Yeah, so? Tell me something I don't know." I playfully snapped back at him.

"I love you." he said.

I froze. Did he just...

Before I knew what was happening, he had flipped us again.

"You really shouldn't get distracted." he suggested.

"By who? You?" I challenge.

"Oooh, the salt! That hurts you know." he said, faking feeling hurt and putting a hand over his heart. "Not as much as when you fell, but it still hurts." 

"I fell?"

"Yeah. You fell for me, remember?"

I laughed. "I guess I did, didn't I?"
