37-boys and their toys

I was hit.

It hurt so bad.

I don't think it's ever hurt this bad.

There was definitely going to be a bruise.

Those damn paintballs hurt. Especially when it's in the arm where there is no padding. I was going to kill Xander.

Last night we decided to have a triple date at the paintball range. Nick and I. Carter and Penny. Xander and some random chick from his college. She was an odd one. By that I mean really nice and shy. Those girls were not his type at all. My older brother usually goes for party girls or a girl who cries over a broken nail. This girl, Hanna, is completely the opposite. It had me and my family questioning how the hell this match up happened.

Anyways.

I was running to one of the barriers to hide when Xander so graciously shot me with a paintball and hit me right in the arm. It hurt so freaking bad. Now I was hunched over holding my arm behind the barrier with Nick beside me telling me he was going to shoot my brother in the head with a paintball. We all know I'm not one for violence but right at this very moment I was giving my boyfriend permission to do that very thing to Xander.

"Ow!" Xander yells from across the field.

Nick laughs and I know he got him. "Got 'em babe." Nick says then gives me a kiss on the head.

Our time buzzer makes a loud shrill letting us know that our time is up. Thank God. I was done for forever. Or at least a few weeks.

We all lower our weapons and come out of our hiding spots. Xander comes out rubbing his leg with Hanna trailing behind him. Carter and Penny are cheering because they won. Those two were so similar it was scary. Who knew Penny was anything like that.

"Sorry I hit you, Tay. It was a total accident." Xander says but the hint of a smile on his face tells me he isn't that sorry.

I scoff and roll my eyes, "Yeah right. I'm just thrilled that Nick got you back for it."

"Aw. I would do anything for you, cheerleader." Nick says and throws his arm around my shoulder.

Carter and Penny gag at Nicks affection. Those two may be in eighth grade but they aren't to big on PDA. I asked Carter if they have kissed and his face went red like a tomato. The only thing I can think of to make him so disgusted by that stuff is Xander had told him a few stories. Poor Carter is probably scarred for life. No matter, I know once he gets the kiss he will forget all about what our idiot brother says.

"Carter I say we go to Waffle Cones and celebrate. My mom is in the parking lot." Penny says to my brother who blushes when Penny grabs his hand. Oh man, this girl knew the way to his heart.

"Sure." He mumbles. The two leave us walking away hand in hand.

"If they weren't so young I would say Carter would be getting laid tonight." Xander speaks winking at Hanna who looks away with a shy smile. Oh Xander has his work cut out for him.

"Xander." I scowl. "Don't give Carter any ideas. He's thirteen."

Xander holds his hands up in defense, "I haven't told him to go for it. Carter is to young to be a dad and I am too handsome to be an uncle."

I just roll my eyes.

"You guys up for some food at Tyson's?" He asks.

"Nah. We got other plans." Nick tells him.

Ah yes. Our plans consist of us going over to the Barron household to check out their new sparring room. When Nick told me that Charlie's parents remodeled the boxing room I was anxious to see it. To be honest I was secretly hoping Nick would put on a little show for me. I don't get to see him workout ever. When I go over to his house I'm always hoping he is in his bedroom hitting that punching bag but he never is. It bums me out.
