"Hey! Lexi!" I shout as I come home and dump my bag on the floor. Paper in hand I make my way to his room as the redhead pops his head from the doorway.

"What's up?" My roommate Alex asks as he looks me over. Seeing the paper in my hands he groans lightly. 

"Oh lord..." 

"Oh lord is right!" I snap the paper against his arm.

"Hunt for Red October is a fantastic movie! How could you list it as one of the 12 worst of all times?! Matrix I get, the scream movies, of course, Little miffed about Sweeney Todd, but you're right the old one was way better... But Hunt for Red October!? Come on!" I narrow my eyes and wait for him to respond.

"Now, Haley... calm down. I only wrote it up the notes I was given, the only real opinion I gave was on the Scream movies." He gently took the paper from me and out his boss' name was the one it was published under. 

"Oh..." I blink and look to it then him before giving a low growl. "You still could have pointed out a few good qualities."

"Sure... if it had some!" He smirked before dashing past me and out to the deck.

"Take that back!" I shout as I grab the hose from the side of the house and point it to him.

"Never!" He grins and slowly tries to circle around me.

"For the Red October!" I yell as I turn the cold water on the hose and completely soak him. As he gives a not so manly squeal I make sure he's entirely doused before turning the hose off and putting it down on the ground. "Justice is sort of served..." I smirk and turn away from him to head back to the house.

"Nope!" He lunges forward and wraps his cold wet arms around me. "You can't be all left out! You need a good soaking too!" Picking me up as I kick and squirm he walks to the pool and drops me into the water, pulling a scream from me.

Once I come to the surface I glare at him.

"Bad kitty is wet now." he smirked with his best Sean Connery accent.

"You're an idiot..." I try and keep my glare but can only laugh at my best friend as he strips off his shirt and jumps into the pool where we both spend the rest of the night discussing movies and racing each other.

Have a good day Hatchlings!
