Dem peeked through her fingers to make sure he wasn't joking, then took her hands away. "Not nice." she laughed and threw a bread crumb at him. "Me and spiders don't get along." she told him. "When I was little my brother had me convinced an acromantula lived in my closet and was going to eat me in my sleep." she explained. "Loser brothers."
'Hey!' he protested when she sent a bread crumb his way. As an automatic reaction, he scooped up some jam and flung it at her. What he did not realize was how much he scooped up. Her face was covered in jam! His eyes widened at what he saw.
She is so not going to be happy, he thought.
He quickly got up and backed away.
'So, um, it was nice meeting you. I'm just going to go you know play with the Giant Squid or something.'
With that he ran away, not looking back.
