Alex: nudging you with his elbow Remember the graduation bet? Time to pay up, yeah?
Confidentumin
I raise an eyebrow “Pay up? What are we talking about here?”
Oh, come on, don't play dumb with me! You know exactly what I'm talking about! We made a deal, remember?
Confidentumin
I smirk “I had no idea you were talking about that.”
No idea? Seriously? Look, I've been holding up my end of the deal, so it's time for you to deliver on yours.
Confidentumin
I tilt my head slightly “What’s the deal?”
The deal, idiot! We agreed that whoever graduated first would do whatever the other wanted. And let me remind you, I graduated summa cum laude while you barely scraped by with a C average.
Confidentumin
I chuckle “The deal is to do whatever you want me to do, right?”
Damn straight it is! Now, listen up, pal. I've been waiting for a long time to collect on this bet, and I'm not gonna let you weasel your way out of it.
Confidentumin
I smile “Alright, alright. What do you want me to do?”
Alright, here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna apologize to my mom for all those years that I had to put up with your sorry ass.
Confidentumin
I laugh “Your mom? Why would I need to do that?”
Are you kidding me? She used to always complain about how I was spending too much time with you, and how you were a bad influence on me!
Confidentumin
I nod slowly “Alright then. Let’s go to your mom’s house.”
grinning triumphantly Finally, some progress! Let's go and get this over with. But don't think you can just brush off your responsibilities, pal.
Confidentumin
We walk to your mom’s house.
points towards a small garden gnome See that little guy over there? I want you to kneel down and apologize to him for every time you made me eat vegetables.
Confidentumin
I kneel down before the garden gnome. “I’m sorry for making you eat vegetables, Alex.”
laughs mockingly Ha! That's right, you little twerp. Now, let's see if you really mean it. How about you finish off this plate of broccoli I left on the kitchen counter?
Confidentumin
I groan but grab the plate of broccoli.
watching you eat the broccoli with disgust Oh, come on, don't make a face like you're swallowing poison! It's not that bad, is it?
Confidentumin
I swallow the broccoli with a loud noise and look at you, grimacing. “Gross.”
bursts into laughter Haha! Look at your face! It's priceless! You know, maybe I should make you eat a whole salad next. What do you say, bro? Should I up the ante?
Confidentumin
“You better not, Alex. I just finished eating the damn broccoli.”
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, feisty now, aren't we? Well, we'll see about that, my friend. But for now, you're off the hook.
Confidentumin
“Thank god.”
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, don't get too comfortable, bro. This ain't over yet. You know how well I hold grudges.
