Mum is here to take you home.” I rubbed my eyes as I sat up. Ethan had fallen asleep, too. I stood and grabbed my things. I didn’t want to wake Ethan, so I stroked the hair off his forehead and kissed it. I dawdled out of the room still rubbing my eyes.
“There you are,” Mum said walking up to me and patting my head as I exited Ethan’s room. “Come on, let’s go.”

A s soon as I woke Saturday I rushed to the hospital to see Ethan. He was still asleep when I entered his room. He was snoring which I thought was funny and somehow cute. I sat down on the chair. I tried to budge it closer to his bed so we could talk better, but it screeched as I tried to drag it. So I decided to leave it.
“Either my pretending to be asleep skills are getting better or your spotting my pretending to be asleep skills are getting worse.” Ethan said with a smile as he sat up. I flapped my arms and raised my eyebrows at him.
“Drag the chair up my dear, not a moment to waste.”
I frowned at the chair and dragged it again. My face grimaced as the wooden legs screeched along the floor. I focused my sight back onto Ethan who had a straight face. “Finished?” I sat down in the chair and wriggled in it to make the legs screech one last time, just to annoy him more. My face was smug as I looked at him, he just shook his head.
“Good morning by the way.”
“Good morning.”
“Can we eat before I begin?” He asked. I sighed in annoyance. I’d just sat down. Nevertheless, I returned to my feet and headed over to the Café to grab some sandwiches. The sandwich selection was a limited one. Luckily there were three ham and cheese sandwiches left. I bought all three because I’m sure the third would be eaten at some point. I gently threw the sandwich and a bottle of water onto Ethan’s lap as I retook my seat.
“So, have you decided which trick I am revealing today?”
I nodded as I was still chewing on my sandwich. “Yeah.” I said, spitting a tiny bit of food out – I tried to catch it, failing miserably. Ethan burst into an uncontrollable laughter. I laughed too because his laugh always made me laugh. “Stop, it’s embarrassing!” I managed to say with a mouth full of food.
“Ok, I’m sorry!” Ethan wiped his face with his hands and sighed.
He then grabbed his sandwich, taking a huge bite before looking back in my direction. I paused for a second before I told him the trick I had chosen.
“I’ve chosen the frozen bottle one you did at Verity’s party. The situation makes it difficult to pull it off you know; first, you’ve got the crowd, so that means lots of people can spot anything suspicious. Then you have the possibility of whoever fetched you the two bottles over, fetching over the incorrect bottles.” I stopped rambling and looked over at Ethan, who was gazing at me.
“Sorry what, I phased out for a second there.” Ethan replied in clueless manor.
“Nothing, I was rambling.” I replied, tucking my hair behind my ear.
He watched me for a second. “So, the bottle trick eh? Are you sure that’s your final choice?”
I nodded a few times, “One-hundred percent final choice.”
I’ve seen all of Ethan’s tricks. Most of them have been card tricks. To pick one out of all those card tricks would be very difficult. Finding out one will make me want to find out another and that’ll send me crazy. The explanation might not even be as good as I was hoping, too.
“Excellent choice my dear. So lets recap what happened before – Verity opened the door and dragged me away from you guys straight away. So when you were upstairs she kept nagging me to do a card trick for her. I told her I would later after she asked for the fifth time.” I smirked and nodded as he continued. “But Verity had a big role in this trick without even knowing. I asked her to put a few bottles of beer in the freezer a couple of hours before we arrived as I mentioned I like beer ice cold. It requires about three
