Hand Name Game

October 7, 2013
         Hey!! Today was pretty good, I guess. In language class, we had to do some pages in our workbooks. May wanted to be partners with me. Ethan decided he wanted to be with us. So he sat in the desk next to me and turned the desk so that it faced the both of us. He placed his workbook on my desk. May wanted to listen to some music so she did that first before working on her workbook. Ethan and I started to work ahead a bit since she was taking a while. May noticed and said, "Ethan! She's mine not yours!" Ethan looked up and looked at me. "I never said she was mine," he looked back at May, "but okay."
       Later on, we were finished so we just relaxed with each other. Remember that name on the hand game that I told you about? Well, May wanted to play that so she wrote a name on my hand. Ethan wanted to see, so I showed him. He grabbed my other hand and took May's pen and started to write on my hand. I just sat there for 5 minutes as he held my hand trying to think of a name. When he was finished I looked at him and he then looked at me, "I don't think I can do it to you, can I?" I asked and laughed awkwardly. He looked away, rested his chin in his arms and held out his hand to me. I smiled. I took his hand and took out a pen. It took me a bit to think of someone. He looked at me. I looked back at him and stared, "Hmmm." "Don't ask me." Ethan turned his head. "Of course I'm not asking you." I laughed. Then it hit me. Aya. I wrote down her name and closed his hand. I grinned at him. He gave me a strange look.
           When it was time to look at the name, I opened both of my palms. May wrote down Charles and Ethan wrote down Rick. I am so glad I didn't look at the one Ethan wrote. Haha, I'm so glad ☺.
