Jealous.

A good word to describe Johnny when he saw you and his rival — Daniel, playing on the beach. You and Daniel kicked around a ball while Johnny and his friends ease closer.

Only when Daniel kicks the ball to far do you both turn and freeze when you see a seething Johnny and excited friends. The ball bounces and stops in front of Johnny, forcing you to go get it.

You seep closer, bending to grab the ball only for Johnny to grab your sleeve and yank you upward.

"is this a joke?"
