I opened the fridge; and grabbed four drinks, before shutting the fridge. The Coke can nearly slipped, but l caught it in time. l continued fumbling with the cans l held.                                                                     

"Need help there?"                                      

I tilted my head to see who was talking to me. The Fanta almost fell this time,so l stood still and balanced the cans.                

"Yeah, l'd really appreciate your help."  

Two cans were taken and l sighed. I heard the pop of metal and the bubbly hiss of a drink. I saw Daniel drinking his Coke.         

"Thanks."                                                                 

"No problem,flower."                                      

I laughed at Daniel.                                            

"Flower? Are you serious?"                     

"Your name is a flower,"                                                                                   

I shook my head. He was right, my name is a flower. But it's still weird that he calls me that.                       

Daniel shook Ash's drink. I raised a brow,he noticed this. So he to told me he was pulling a gag on him. I didn't say anything. We walked into the lounge together. He casually gave Ash his Fanta,before he slumped down next to him.

Ash pulled the tab on the can up. It hissed. He waited a few seconds  before he fully opened it,and gulped it down. Daniel crossed his arms and pouted.              

"Why'd you open your can like that?" He muttered.

He put his drink on the coffee table.

He glared at him.                                             

"l'm not an idiot,Danny." 

"You've shaken a couple of my drinks before. l'm not falling for it again."                                                     

He grinned at Daniel. Daniel in response huffed and took a packet of lightly salted Lays from the table. I laughed and gave Paul his drink. He snatched it away. 

"It's about time."

l rested my butt on the cushy,carmine three-seater. He popped the can open and it fizzed over. It sprayed all over his clothing.

"Hey!" he screeched.

Screaming, l jumped away as purple froth stuck to my face. l groaned angrily. Paul gritted his teeth his  bright mood quickly darkening. Daniel and Ash laughed,doubling over in amusement. Standing up Paul pat down his purpled neon-green shorts.

Why are they laughing anyway this is not funny. l thought as l wiped my face. 

"Very funny isn't it Daniel?"  He clenched his jaw afterwards.

"Yeah,it is pretty funny." Daniel brushed away some blond hair that managed to fall into his eyes.

uhhh... Noooo!!! It isn't!

l opened my mouth to speak but Paul rose and advanced quickly to Daniel. He towered over his diminutive form. l only stared.

What? What was he doing? I thought.

His chest was heaving when he spat venomously at his friend.

"Real mature Daniel ! That's a stupid trick to try and pull!"

And that was when it hit me. He thought it was Daniel's fault that his fizzy drink was shaken.

"What are you talking about?" he whispered.

He had stopped laughing now and was staring at Paul dumbfounded. Paul's lips were curled back and his eyes were squinted. Daniel's deep brown eyes were as wide as saucers. He  backed himself far into the couch .

"Don't play dumb,you know what you did!" he said.

He continued to move forward menacingly. l couldn't  stand this. Daniel was being blamed for what l did. l came behind him and gripped his hand.

"Paul," l spoke.

He was glowering at Daniel. l tugged at his arm but he continued to glare at Daniel.

"Paul."  Nothing. "Paul,calm down. This isn't his fault!" l pointed at Daniel.

"It's mine." l admitted quietly.

Paul stopped shaking and  turned to face me. That  was the first time l noticed Ash was frightened.  His wide blue eyes returned to their normal size. Ash and Paul both sighed simultaneously.

"Why'd you do it?" he asked mildly annoyed.

"l didn't mean it. l guess it got shaken when l took it out."

Paul laughed, and as a result l laughed too. 'Wow.' I thought.

"Sorry guys." he smiled sheepishly.

"It's alright dude." Daniel smiled.

Ash spoke lowly "Next time try and chill."

With those problems sorted out,Paul went upstairs to change. Daniel returned to munching his crisps. Ash sorted the wires out to set up the gaming system. He plugged in the controllers and soon he was finished. Ash was tinkering with his controller when Paul came back in red shorts and a white button down shirt.
