The fruity squad

We were cautious when sneaking back in. Just then we heard shouting in the distance.

“Find them. They couldn’t have gone far!”

We ran in from the bush as fast as possible. 

“Exer, is that you?” Mio yelled from the kitchen.

“Yep,” I said, walking closer to the kitchen.

Miko walked around the corner and squealed. “It’s my two favorite girls!”

She ran to them and hugged them. After she let them go, she grabbed Averys' wrist and held it up.

“Um, what are these cuts and bruises on your arms you two?” 

I knew we were busted but. The two started acting like us when she asked Kyle and me that question. 

“Um, we kinda got into the same situation that Kyle and Exer got into-ish. There was…” Mio paused.

She turned to Avery and collapsed into her arms. She started trembling and broke into tears. Avery put her arms around Mio, arms still bleeding from the cuts.

“There was some, “touching”, and weapons involved. It wasn’t the best, stroll in the park. Your house was the closest place to find an adult 'cause my house was a little too far away to run.” Avery finished.

Avery wrapped her arms around Mio to comfort her. 

“Hey, what's all the noise down here?” Kyle dragged his voice, coming down the stairs. “Oh, Avery and Mio? Um, What happened?”

“Child, how hard did you kick that kid in the stomach?” Kiko asked.

“Enough to at least knock the wind out of him for a few seconds. Why?” 

Suddenly he noticed Avery all scratched up and bruises over her face.

“Shit,” Kyle whispered under his breath. “Shit, shit, shit, shit.” He kept saying that over and over till I rushed over.

“Hey, hey. Look at me.” I grabbed his face and turned his to face mine. “Breath. It’s ok. The girls are fine.”

Kyle calmed down and I let go of him. He walked over to Avery and Mio.

“Are you ok?” He asked.

“Yeah, we’re fine. The bastard and his minions found us though. Not the best way to start spring break, ey? Mio put up one hell of a fight before I could get her back.” Avery responded, lifting Mio.

“You could say that,” Mio whispered. “See, you were a pro back there!” Avery replied.

“What did you do to that bastard?” I asked. 

“You know that one summer camp where they taught the boys to do makeup and girls self-defense?” Mio giggled.

“Yes! It sucked balls there, it was so hot.” Kyle said.

Kiko slapped Kyle in the back of the head which is signaling him to “Watch your words.”

“Ow, ok ok, I’m sorry.”Kyle winced in pain still little sensitive from the fight.

“Anyway, I used a little bit of self-defense because this dumbass forgot how,” She laughed pointing to Avery. “I also ended kicking him and three of his henchmen in the balls.” 

Finally, the tension calmed down and we started chatting about other things. Jobs, grades, and classes.
