"Aaron! Get back here" I yelled chasing him all around the house.

"No freaking way" Aaron yelled back.

You see, my crazy best friend decided that it would be funny to look into my secret box which he found under my bed. Don't ask me how he got under the bed. Well, you must be wondering what this box must be containing, right?

It actually has all my embarrassing photographs, which I hid from mom so that she could refrain from showing them to who over comes over to our house.

And whoever means whoever, literally.

She had once shown the plumber my photo where I was grinning with orange teeth and a messy, spaghetti covered face and sitting only in my UGs.

I mean seriously?

Even though I was just five in the photo, it was TOO embarrassing!

And coming back to the situation in hand, Aaron was running with one of my photos which captured quite and embarrassing moment.

Apparently, when I was seven, I had wanted to chase a rabbit. So, while chasing it, I saw it going down a hole. I followed it down but got stuck in the hole. And that was the day when my mom had decided to dress me in a skirt. And being my parents, they first clicked a photograph and then helped me out.

In the photo, you can only see the lower part of my body, with my skirt barely keeping anything hidden. It is too embarrassing. And now, Aaron was running, laughing so hard that I actually wondered why he wasn't out of breath.

"Aaron! Get back here with the photograph!"I yelled chasing him. He was about five metres ahead of me.

"Never!" He yelled back.

Ugh! I have to do something. Otherwise he would never give it back to me. What can I do? What can I do?

Come on Alyssa! You can come up with something!

I searched my brain for an idea when suddenly the bulb in my mind flickered on.

I suddenly stopped chasing Aaron and dug my hands into my jean pockets to find my phone.

I pulled it out and grinned to myself as I thought of the plan.

After a minute, when Aaron realized that I wasn't following him, he too stopped and turned around. He had this confused expression which turned into and alarmed one when I gave him my evil grin.

"Aaron? Will you give me the photo?" I said taking a step towards him. He took a similar step back.

"N-No"

"You sure? 'Cause this is the last time I'm asking you" I said taking another slow step towards him.

"Ooooo. Someone's trying to sound intimidating" He whistled.

"Okay then, don't say that I didn't warn you!" I said and with that, I ran the opposite way. After a moment of confusion, he began to follow me awkwardly.

I quickly took out my phone and dialed a number which was quite familiar to both of us.

After two rings, the person picked up.

"Hello?" the person spoke.

"Hey, Agent Tom? Is it you?"

"Oh hey Agent Jerry! It's been a long time since you last called. What happened?"

"Um, I need you to put Mission 'Candy Flush' into action" I looked back to see that Aaron had now picked up speed and he was within the hearing range.

Uh-Oh. He would catch up with me soon. I need to do this fast.

"Haha! Oh god. And here I thought that this day would never come. What did he do?" The person giggled.

"Um, please can you do it fast. I mean I would love to chat but I am currently being chased by the devil himself," I answered as he neared me.

"Oh sure darling. The work has been done. Good luck and please record his reaction for me. I would love to see it!"

"Oh definitely! Bye"

And then I hug up. I turned to look how near Aaron was, which was a huge mistake since he took the opportunity and threw himself on me. We both landed on the carpeted floor, with me under him.

I tried to grab my photograph back but he just held it away. His blue eyes held mischeif in them as they searched mine.

"You think you're gonna get that easily? Now tell me who was on the phone?"

"Why should I tell you?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Just tell me"

"NO"

"Come one"

"NO"

"But why?''

"Just no"

He was just about to reply when the door bell rung. We exchanged glances and then looked at the door. Neither of us moved for a minute.

"Who could it be?" he asked.

"Certainly not mom and dad, 'cause they said that they would be coming home late" I said.

"Ali? You home? Open the door," An all too familiar voice shouted.

Just three words: Oh.Damn.Shit!

"Uh hello? Alyssa? I know you're home. Come on, I don't have much time." Kinsy yelled again.

I quickly got up, pushing Aaron from underneath. He also got up along with me.

"GO! Hide under my be- No Wait. You're not going there again, just go to my parent's room. They're not here. Well, you already know that, but I still had to say something so. NO, wait that didn't make any sense and---oh just GO!"

"Okay. But remember, this is not over" he smirked with an amused expression.

"Oh just go. Now!" I pushed him in the direction of my parent's room and went towards the door.

"Oh hey Kins" I said opening the door and covering my nervousness with a huge fake smile. I just hoped she didn't want to come inside or something.

"Hey. What took you so much time?"

"Uh, nothing. Was just playing with Pudgy" I replied pointing towards my golden retiever.

"Oh. I thought I heard someone's voice. Actually, not anyone but some boy's. Is someone here?"

I tried to act indifferent. I scrunched up my face to feign confusion.

"Huh? N-No. Not at all. Who will c-come her? And that too a boy? Haha" I laughed nervously.

"Yeah. Even I thought so. What guy would come here anyway!"

Now, I was offended. I am not that socially awkward. Plus why wouldn't a guy come here?

"And why wouldn't a guy come here?" I asked narrowing my eyes.

"Uh, I, Nothing. I just came by to drop your book. You left it at school" She said handing me my book.

"Oh-kay. Thanks" I said with narrowed eyes. She was acting weird.

"Hehe, I-uh-think I sh-should leave," she giggled nervously and left.

I shut the door and turned my back towards it.

"That was rude" Aaron popped up from behind me.

"Woah! You heard that?"

"Yup! And now I have a disliking for a certain blonde."

"Oh come on! I think it was just a slip of tongue"

"Yeah. Whatever you say" he rolled his eyes. He then revealed something from behind him.

"By the way, I found another pic and this is- hahahahahaha- hil-ha-rious!" he said holding out another one of my idiotic pics and laughing.

"AARON PELT! You give that back this instant!" I tried reaching for the pictures. But they were too high for me to reach them.

"Nope" And with that, the slight tense atmosphere was lifted. I felt my phone beep. I opened it and saw what I needed along with a message:

I grinned at the text and smiled evilly once again.

"Oh God! This is so going on the internet" He raised one of pics with a seven year old girl (me) trying to wriggle her butt.

I inwardly groaned as I remembered that day. But I quickly composed myself and keeping a stoic expression, I said-

"Okay"

This caught him off guard "Okay?"

"Yeah. 'Cause if you do, this is also going on the internet" I raised my phone, switched on the front video camera to record his reaction and simultaneously showed him the video.

As the video started, the look on his face was priceless! He had a horror-stricken face with shock and embarrassment radiating off it.

"I ham supah-maaan" shouted a little boy in the video.

The video was of Aaron, when he was five years old. He had tried to experiment with his clothes and tried to create a new style by wearing his underwear on his head, his arms in his pants and legs coming out of the arms of a t-shirt. The little Aaron ran in the garden and lost his balnce and fell into a pit of dog poop.

If you showed this to any other person, he/she would die laughing. It was THAT funny.

"So? What do you think will everyone at school think when they see this?" I said as the video stopped.

He snapped out of his shock and grabbed my phone a deleted it. He then smirked.

"Now what are you going to blackmail me with?" he smirked smugly, handing me back my phone.

I just laughed. Laughed so hard that I fell on the floor, leaving him wide-eyed.

"Y-You really think that I'm dumb Candy?" I said regaining my posture.

"Come on! I've known you since we wore diapers. So give me some credit. I already sent the video to my e-mail and other accounts. So I have more copies of it than you can count on your fingers." I smirked.

"B-But you won't do anything, right? You know I-I was just kidding. Here, take your photos" he said offering me the photos.

I just simply took steps backwards.

"You won't do anything. Right?"

Step, step, step.

"Right?"

And with that, I ran off laughing!
