If you thought last chapter was bad, than this one is even worse. God, I hate this chapter.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLysHCIz4Q 維尼
It’s hell. Yeah. Last chapter, nothing serious happened. Sure, Jaidon did some… stuff, but nothing major happened.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5FtmXev9u 維尼
This one- hohoho, it’s a chapter, all right. Well, this is a book after all.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN771jAZWH 維尼
God. God, why? Why have I been cursed to go to this school? Being in this class, meeting a specific person, having to deal with their nefarious things? Why have I been born into a world where this specific entity of a being has to live in the same area as myself, let alone go to the same educational building and room of learning as me? WHY8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡitDljrngtY 維尼
You get the point, uh, glad that’s over with. Um, where were we? Oh, right, I was explaining what this so-called ‘Hug - O’Clock’ is. Ummm, just read what it’s called a few times. You’ll probably be able to at least come up with an idea of what it could be.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzyJWd1b1a 維尼
It’s a specific time where you… uh… hug.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡym6rDz0Jbm 維尼
“That sounds incredibly dumb, Jaidon.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8rFd3SDcP 維尼
After he proposed the idea to me, I said that to him immediately afterwards.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy0lQktQws 維尼
“A whole hour where you hug someone? Gross and boring.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiuFSHkMHU 維尼
“It’ll only be for five minutes during recess.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDWSEBUshf 維尼
“Oh, okay.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AXt9e3vpn 維尼
“So you don’t have to hug anyone, if you don’t want to.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ANIbsfqCz 維尼
“Good, cause I don’t want to.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z1sBX6YRm 維尼
“Not even Caitlyn?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOVbjFqVwq 維尼
“I- no, definitely not.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc8IhOQrOZ 維尼
“You sure?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J9VshvUe5 維尼
“Yeah, yeah, I’m sure. Dude, what even gave you the idea I would want to?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY33xxLyEA 維尼
“But you liiiiiike her.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2QGBeAlYj 維尼
“What? No!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhkne7eKDI 維尼
A-anyway, he announced the whole hug time thing during recess immediately following our conversation.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM0GwBgzjq 維尼
“Everyone! We’re about to do Hug - O’Clock!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡwesabhBFit 維尼
Everyone didn’t like that. Except Anna, who immediately ran (even though they were right next to each other, she still ran… I guess moved quickly?) to Caitlyn and bear hugged the soul out of her body. Oh, god, that looks painful. I mean besides the fact Caitlyn was being suffocated. Just the idea of hugs in general, I guess.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsw8ITan5g 維尼
Am I hugaphobic? No, because that’s not a real thing. Right? Yeah, I just looked it up, it isn’t a real thing. It’s called haphephobia, which I don’t have. Uh, anyway.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeCyekUVco 維尼
“Why are we doing this?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBvqseNp47 維尼
Great question, Karoline! I wholeheartedly agree with you!8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lbX1LQn2N 維尼
“Because it’s funny.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65PukWC8dU 維尼
Terrible response, Jaidon! Try again!8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAjTU4Vi5h 維尼
“And to ship people.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡazvtzM9DsQ 維尼
Ship- what? Like that shipping thing Anna mention- oh, whatever, I’kk figure it out later (THIS IS FORESHADOWING IF YOU DIDNT KNOW)8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5cXPGFJJV 維尼
“So what do we even do?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡntUaNXQyvR 維尼
“Uh… for the next five minutes, try to hug as many people as possible.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡazySsOgvuG 維尼
“And the prize?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkEAsDvOzP 維尼
“You, uh, get hugged.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkzTernx9u 維尼
Prize sucks.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0lMLj44m3 維尼
Anyway, Jaidon ‘let us go’ and we ran away from each other. All of us that were there. We all just split up. Probably because we were hoping that no one was going to try to hug us, and by the looks of it, no one even wanted to.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIWa49sQ2y 維尼
It seemed like none of us competitors weren’t too keen on getting a lot of early points- why am I describing this repulsive activity like it’s an Olympic sport?8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFkLz3sVGd 維尼
I didn’t want to participate. No one did. I walked around, trying to avoid people, until I got into a conversation with someone. Who they are doesn’t matter (sorry) for right now, but what did was that it was an excuse to not be hugged by anyone. Huggers would probably find people that were by themselves to save embarrassment in front of a crowd.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4mfyTpBg9 維尼
I don’t even know what I’m talking about anymore.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbCpdwo0dz 維尼
Anyway, I looked around and, not surprisingly, saw a vast number of people hugging tons of other people:8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb6mtA2XU6 維尼
0. No one was hugging anyone.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCp7bY4wqJ 維尼
Why did you even think this was a good idea, Jaidon? I mean, sure, I eventually found him to ask what was going on, but seriously? Oh. I found him hugging other people. Guess he just wanted to hug other people. Weird. Is that the only reason?8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR6KnDKiTi 維尼
As I was staring at him, waiting for him to release his current victim, he suddenly sprang from the body (possibly a corpse now) and latched onto me.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wYlzPemQg 維尼
“Get off of me!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKqIbcRoaf 維尼
“You can’t just stand there! You’re supposed to hug people back, Alan!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQAAzPxNm7 維尼
“Get off!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNpikNgduy 維尼
After successfully ripping Jaidon off of my shoulders, I was about to scold him about his dumb idea when…8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡthucnXuuZ1 維尼
“It’s Becky, not Alan.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡs63U9W3q7y 維尼
Guess who.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwwCunha2e 維尼
“You’re supposed ot be hugging people too, Caitlyn.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CdJZYxWDS 維尼
“I don’t really wanna do that, so, uh, no thanks.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡR18twv6ZR4 維尼
“But that’s the point of the game! The time’s probably almost up! Here, hug Alan right now- you’ll get bonus points if you do.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7uPzShcLg 維尼
Jaidon- ugh. Why?8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjX8tXcH5n 維尼
“No, that’s freaking stupid.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJpqySWlYZ 維尼
“Yeah, sounds like a terrible idea to me.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAcFNvTvDi 維尼
Me, too. Wait, I was the one who just said that8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wve1KjBxj 維尼
“Just do it already! Good practice, right?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWHotPKhHI 維尼
“Practice for what?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS9mb5ASjn 維尼
“Uh, duh? For when you hug each other for real?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0RPiU5P5i 維尼
We both stared at him.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMPSg98quN 維尼
“What?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡpndkhvMUvM 維尼
“You know, when you’re like, I dunno, hugging like a couple?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡm74WlxnFVj 維尼
“Ex- NO! We aren’t a couple, idiot!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08e9T75vxi 維尼
Caitlyn got pretty flustered. I was still processing what he said. Uh, when we hug… why would we hug? As a couple? Do couples hug- WAIT I’VE SEEN THIS IN A DISNEY MOVIE8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQN5bqkEBS 維尼
“NO THAT’S DISGUSTING!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A3QuDswUY 維尼
I got even more flustered than Caitlyn.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d8axhVjKV 維尼
“Hey, what? Disgusting?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWZ3cPlxmf 維尼
“Yeah, hugging you! Gross!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaNf4xT4Eb 維尼
Jaidon took a step back.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D8zuvSXx6 維尼
“Uh, says you? You’re literally gross.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS4pQjJPHf 維尼
“You’re… literally dumb.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSWUaEqNGG 維尼
GOTTEM8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXkdyqIECK 維尼
“I’m smarter than you.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4sisvx8O5 維尼
“No, you’re not.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfw0opUslb 維尼
Sure, there was that one math problem, but who cares.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVmSNBy4dh 維尼
“Remember that one time in math?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e4ptrcACy 維尼
GOD DAMN IT8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKrg9oJJ5N 維尼
“Uh, no? I don’t remember anything that happened in math class.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZUi4QV59F 維尼
“So you don’t pay attention in class, so you’re dumb?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiYinSBbSG 維尼
“NO THAT’S NOT WHAT I- ugh, no!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡBraBA1j9Yv 維尼
I rolled my eyes. I heard Jaidon’s laugh going on to the right of me.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡoztef6oLkN 維尼
“So I’m smarter than you?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY6xnRhpDy 維尼
Caitlyn said that with a pride-filled face. She put her hands on her hips, even.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡha9vpWrSHy 維尼
“No, watch- Jaidon, say any hard math problem, and whoever says it first is smarter.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40V14BmL89 維尼
“Uh, 4 times 5?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBL6x3HOEh 維尼
Jaidon, you’re stupid.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1IGwBYuIQ 維尼
“20!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr5iEIp42V 維尼
“20!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQTAsDIg7n 維尼
Uh8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdOeR9RFXp 維尼
So I was a little slow at saying the answer.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCjo2CagfA 維尼
“I said it first!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy4QqtbiDt 維尼
Maybe if I scream that I said it first, they would actually think I did.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Csy2Eumms 維尼
“No.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMW8MnHmdS 維尼
“No.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o0SkNjPJS 維尼
“Okay, well, speed isn’t always smart.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Jk9isg74 維尼
That sentence just doesn’t make sense8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡncOrtr8aNc 維尼
“I dunno, I think Caitlyn’s smarter than you.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡonoC6WnNGk 維尼
Jaidon, you’re supposed to be on my side! What happened to, like, boys versus girls? Uh, you and I versus Caitlyn and Anna?8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmF3No4BWq 維尼
Oh, god.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bFFAnMg0B 維尼
I said her name, didn’t I?8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYD1cYvFUJ 維尼
“She is smarter than Becky!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHeGybtcGt 維尼
SHE’S HERE I’VE GOT TO GO8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡldRHuyDmvI 維尼
“Where the hell did you come from?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpEFRkqlGj 維尼
“I just hugged 13 people. How many people have you hugged, Becky?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBo4HHKAcd 維尼
“Like, 15 people.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzTrGdQVdU 維尼
Maybe Anna’ll believe me8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡss8CEcuVbz 維尼
“So you’re dumb AND a liar, Becky.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqLUvF9oS3 維尼
Ok so Anna isn’t gonna believe me any more thanks Caitlyn8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡezq1BwtlKK 維尼
“I’M NOT A LI- okay, whatever, I give up.”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnvxsKAWeX 維尼
“Psst, Jaidon!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qLUy6nZqb 維尼
Anna whispered to Jaidon, but, uh, didn’t? She said it with the like hiss noise that whispering makes, but…really loud? I don’t know. Scream whispering. Sure. Yeah, I think I’ve used that term sometime in my life.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQzwb5yWaF 維尼
“What, Anna?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtMtvrWruF 維尼
Jaidon also scream whispered. Great. Caitlyn looked confused. Why were they pretending to whisper?8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95JDFB0qfF 維尼
“Have they hugged yet?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nEu2CePMX 維尼
OH MY GOD BACK TO THIS8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUeieK67LZ 維尼
“No! Should we activate plan D?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIL1k3VeBP 維尼
Plan d*ck?8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6JX7ikC9X 維尼
“Yeah! Go, go, go!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsgTPlnb7h 維尼
Anna walked towards Caitlyn and grabbed her arms. I saw Jaidon approaching me, so I stuck my arm out to stop him. We struggled a bit, but eventually he grabbed a hold of my arms too. I tried to stomp on his feet, but he wasn’t just holding me. He was pushing me, using his feet to propel me forwards. I wasn’t sure what was going on, so I tried to push against him, but after a bit I gave up because it was too tiring. It’s not like he’s strong, he just grabbed hold of my arms, and, like, had the hill advantage (there wasn’t a hill), and, like, short people tend to be… stronger?8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc6bDu8Nso 維尼
I’m not weak. Trust me.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IySzPXAmK 維尼
After giving up, I looked forwards to see where my transportation was taking me. I saw that Anna was basically doing the same thing to Caitlyn, too.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BAysI1kVL 維尼
BACK INTO PUSH BACK MODE WHAT IS HAPPENING8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRJw6yFdST 維尼
I figured the two of them were trying to push us into each other, so we… could… hug?8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9fTbXRoYI 維尼
I don’t- why are they doing this? Did Anna plan this?8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1DE4ziLNW 維尼
Ohhhhhhh. Of course she did.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsbj4MNqSa 維尼
“Hey, Becky, Caitlyn, to tell you the truth-”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡNECFr80Qim 維尼
Hey, how come she can just talk so easily? Isn’t Caitlyn pushing back on her, to- wait why isn’t she8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlTFNqL1KH 維尼
“Caitlyn! Push- ugh- back- argh- harder!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡKncGkEd9QS 維尼
I was trying to push against Jaidon, so talking while doing that was pretty tiring. But you know who wasn’t tired? Anna.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwbRBlEFh0 維尼
Caitlyn wasn’t pushing back nearly as much as me, so Anna just kinda shoved her towards me.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2BztC7Q7L 維尼
“STOP!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHqGEkgqpN 維尼
I felt a great force shove my back forwards, straight towards Caitlyn. Anna gave a final push and Caitlyn fell forwards.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lnliyCkEy 維尼
What, did they think this was gonna work?8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrBddQrLPx 維尼
So, about that. I stuck my arms out to protect my fall, and so did Caitlyn, so things kinda just snowballed after that, and we both just fell into each other’s arms-8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKkeO15Ujl 維尼
No, we didn’t hug each other. We slammed our heads into each other and fell backwards. I felt dizzy, and my forehead hurt. I opened my eyes, feeling nauseous and started to pick myself up. Jaidon and Anna both looked surprised, watching as the two of us attempted to stand back up after that. I looked at them with an angry face, but didn’t say anything. Just groaned really hard. Which Anna laughed at.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAw5Ew37Zk 維尼
Caitlyn and I both had to go to the nurse to get our heads checked (nurse made to check our heads for physical and mental problems). After about 15 minutes of explaining what happened, we came back with ice packs (they weren’t ice packs. The nurse wrapped ice cubed in those like brown paper towels, taped them up, and told us to keep them to our foreheads for a couple hours until they melted. Friggin’ awesome.) and found Jaidon and Anna, still there, waiting for us.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtZv2r0cws 維尼
“Aww, you both went to the nurse together!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjMcaaTeQN 維尼
“Shut up!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡdewQQ8M1eT 維尼
“Aww, you’re so cute together!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPO7qGlQ85 維尼
DUDE SHUT UP8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡSChW6egd2I 維尼
“DUDE SHUT UP!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UY2ke3Gt2 維尼
I- Caitlyn said exactly what I was thinking of saying. Huh. Crazy how that works.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡThzOcjTo0B 維尼
“But you guys would be such a good couple right, Jaidon?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Fcmw77Au 維尼
“Yeah, totally!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kg0W9LAQL 維尼
Jaidon and Anna just love being partners in crime, always causing Caitlyn and I to do these stupid things.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiP8awi8rm 維尼
Hmm. Jaidon. Anna. Love. Partners. Stupid things.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx45mg9iqd 維尼
I’m sensing something.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDUMk5zJMl 維尼
“You’re making my head hurt, stop!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGFvGVtrG1 維尼
Get the pun? Get it? Get it?8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡznv6Lfkpvk 維尼
“Why don’t you ask Caitlyn to kiss your boo-boo for you, then?”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT3mI0FYH0 維尼
THEY JUST DONT LET UP DO THEY8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfW8bgNRs8 維尼
“NO!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBTLYkOyUx 維尼
Bell rang. Recess was over.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl8UNzYb8d 維尼
“See you, lovebirds!”8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVWobVI7Go 維尼
Caitlyn and I both screamed at him, Anna laughing.8964 copyright protection6ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdj2jcTciB 維尼
