The Best Book

Ari: Nothing can beat the Kane Chronicles - It’s obviously the best.

Alex: No way, Harry Potter is the coolest, most… (Alex typing coolest into thesaurus.com) sensational book ever! Both you and I have definitely read Harry Potter way more than those Kane Chronicles.

    Ari: *awake* Kane Chronicles are the best!

    Alex: You are completely wrong, Harry potter is second to none, and the Kane chronicles are second to everything - in other words, LAST ON EVERY BOOK LIST.

    Ari: *channeling her inner hawk moth (that angry guy from miraculous ladybug)*

    Hey Alex? FYI ! I am going to destroy you. I WILL GRIND YOUR BONES TO DUST. The only election Harry potters going to win is “THE MOST LIKELY TO GET IT’S BUTT KICKED”. I WILL WIN THIS DEBATE BY A LANDSLIDE. (FYI this is only an argument, Ari was wrong) and when I’m done, you won’t even be able to read it! I will devote my ENTIRE existence to destroying Harry potter forever! You won’t even be able to TALK ABOUT IT. You will tell your grandchildren about this but they won’t be able to read it! And I will hear your cries. And I will laugh at them.

    Alex: Will you shut up?

    Ari: Huh?

    Alex: You’re getting seriously annoying. So shut up.

    Ari: Oh. Sorry. Won’t do it again.

    Alex: Also, you forgot the capital “P” on “potters”. And the apostrophe.
