Bolt : What is it?

Axel : Uhh...well...is it okay if i could sleepover with May tonight? *Fidgeting*

Bolt : Sure, but make sure you two are on separate beds okay

Axel : *Sighs* Please?

Bolt : Well... I don't think you can sleep with girls yet, and your mom might not be happy about it so it's still a no.

Axel : Fine...*Leaves*

Bolt : *Gets back to reading*

At May's room

May : *Drying herself up* Ahh... that hot bath was so good, i could stay in the tub for ages

Axel : *Knocks* May?

May : Wait up, I'm coming *Heads for the door while rubbing a towel in her face then opens it*

Axel : You just finished taking a bath?

May : Yeah, so what did you come here for?

Axel : Can I have a sleepover with you tonight? I already asked dad about it and he said it's fine

May : Did you really ask permission? Don't lie to me

Axel : Yes of course i did, why would you think I'd lie to you

May : Hehe just kidding, come in. Why did you bring a sleeping bag though? My bed is quite big

Axel : Dad didn't want us to sleep on the same bed...

May : Aww too bad, so your gonna sleep at the floor?

Axel : Pretty much *Puts his sleeping bag down*

May : So, what do you wanna do before bed? If we would even get to bed that is

Axel : What do you mean?

May : Since it's just the two of us, why not have some fun right?

Axel : Right...what do you have?

May : I have some unused notebooks and different colored pens

Axel : What could we use those for?

May : Well, its a game me and my friend mostly play during break. We call it "Black Hole"

Axel : Ooh, how do you play it?

May : Well, the board is 21 circles arranged in a triangle shape, then we put numbers 1-10 in order in any circle except for circles already having a number. For example, once i put a 1, you put your 1, then i put a 2 and so on. The winner is decided by adding the numbers of one person near the remaining empty circle together and whoever has the least number wins.
