When he felt it encircled his waist, he lost it and screamed, "AAAAH!"
Darren tried to get away from the firm grip that's holding his waist, straight up fear rattling inside him. What is it? What is it?!
"TIM!" he called for Tim as he continue to get away, his hands shaking, his heart pounding with panic and tears starting to pool in the corner of his eyes. What is happening?!
Just then, he heard a laugh from behind him and when he slowly turned his body to face what it is and found who it is rather.
It was Timothee.
He didn't smile back nor took a breath of relief at the sight of him. He just stared blankly as his heart refused to calm down from its sheer alarm.
He thought he had lost him. He thought something bad happened to him. And it turns out, Timothee is just being Timothee. Teasing and making fun of him. Which is not fun. The audacity of Tim to think it's okay to scare him like that.
