Sympathy rub: A TheOdds1sOut scenario

This writing is inspired by the events of TheOdd1sOut's video, titled, "Freshman Year of Preparatory School". This is a work of fiction that involves real people. Please enjoy.

"That is one of the stupidest ideas you've thought of yet," Faith claims to her twin brother James. "Is it not a bit strange?" Faith is skeptical for James' latest prank. "Don't be such a downer, Faith. I am certain this to be one of my greatest pranks yet," James assures Faith. Faith, uncertain but not opposed, asks James to explain the process for the prank he has proposed to her. James complies. "First you find your victim, bump into them, and as the apology, you give them a 'sympathy rub'", James continues, "the look on their face will be worth it!" Faith remains uncertain. Faith has never touched another person unnecessarily and does not wish to participate if it involves touching a person, much less rubbing. James notices Faith has yet to be convinced. James gives himself a moment to think how to sway Faith to help enact his greatest end-of-ninth-grade prank. Faith watches as James lays still, processing thoughts that could potentially persuade her. A few moments pass before Faith can sense James' final attempt to persuade her. "We could practice the prank together if you want," James proposes to Faith. "Fine, but be quick, class is soon." James nods. James takes a few steps back, stands still for a moment, and begins the scenario. James makes his way towards Faith as he were late to an unspecified location, bumping into Faith in the process. James turns to Faith and excuses himself for his rudeness, saying, "sorry about that, I didn't see you." James extends his arm in reach of Faith's shoulder and grasps it gently. James continues, "Here, I'll give you a sympathy rub to apologize." Faith watches as James slowly rubs her shoulder up and down in a rhythmic motion. Up and down, up and down, her arm felt a strange sensation she has never experienced before until now. She closes her eyes and continues to embrace the strange sensation her twin brother James had awakened. Faith thought James had been rubbing her shoulder for a while but it only lasted a few seconds. The rubbing motion had left a phantom impression on Faith's shoulder for several moments which Faith could only describe as an invisible James who's only purpose was to serve her light sympathy rubs on her shoulder. Faith realizes she was absent for an unknown duration of time. "..and thats how it should go, at least. Usually their faces would look like a raisin from the uncomfortable touching," are the first and final words of James that Faith was able to process. Faith nods to James as if Faith had been attentive for the entire duration of James' speech, and definitely not focusing on that oh so strange sensation of having her arm rubbed gently by her twin brother. Faith wants to experience it again. Faith wants to experience that sensation once more, so Faith lies for the first time to her twin brother James, "I still don't understand it. May we practice more after class?" James innocently agrees upon Faith's request, as James has no reason to think otherwise. James simply wants for Faith to help him enact his greatest end-of-ninth-grade prank.
