The Fallen Warrior Chapter 4-Special

1

After Austin left, I helped my dad clean up the kitchen. I tried o avoid eye contact, I had a idea of what he wanted to talk about. Why I hated Austin. I was right.2

"Jamie, Austin seems nice, I thought you would like him," he said. I groaned.3

"I do dad, I just..."4

"You just what?" he voice got more serious, as he turned to face me.5

"Nothing," I put the last dish in the cabinet, and started toward the stairs, I really did not feel like talking about this. To my surprise, he followed me. "Um, what?"6

7

"Can you be nice to him?"8

9

"Yea, but why? Aren't I allowed to pick my own friends?" I was starting to get really annoyed.10

11

"Honey, his parents said he doesn't have any friends."12

13

"He just moved here, what did you expect?" by now I yelling, and I hated myself for yelling at him, but I felt I had to, for him to see my point.14

15

He was silent for a moment, so I took the chance, and ran upstairs.16

17

"Jamie, wait," hisvoicewas softer, so I listened.18

19

"Yea?"20

21

"I'd be friends with Austin."22

23

I groaned again.24

25

"Austin's special."26

27

I looked at him and shook my head."You'll say anything to get me to be friends with him, I don't care if he's special! I don't care what he is!"28

29

He started to say something, but I didn't want to hear it. I ran into my room, and locked the door. That was where I stayed for the rest of the night.30
