CHAPTER 10: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29th << 127 | 128 | 129 >> “When?” I asked, but kind of knew the answer. “Right after I moved in.” “Was that when we had that big fight?” “You remember the fight, but do you remember what we fought about?” “That stupid chair, that's still here by the way. You wanted me to get rid of it, and I won.” “But, it's not in the living room anymore, is it? So, I won too,” and then she stuck her tongue out at me. Jeez, how can you stay mad at someone like that? I know I can’t, and then she kissed me. “I looked everybody up, including you, but I already knew most of it from Barry, except for Scratches. That was a big surprise.” “I know. You wanted to shoot me, remember?” I asked, and before she could answer, added, “I also looked you up.” “You bastard,” she said, hitting me with one pillow, and then the other. I pretended to go flying across the room, slammed into the wall, and slumped to the floor unconscious, all in slow motion. It almost made her smile. “Why didn't you tell me that you knew about my secret friends?” I asked and got up off the floor. “The same reason you didn't tell me,” she said, and then threatened me with another whack-attack, before con- tinuing, “I was also afraid you’d want me to leave.” I took a step back, “But, how’d you know I called them my secret friends? I don't ever remember saying that to you.” “I heard you on the phone a couple times,” she said while putting the pillows back. “You can sit back down,” she said and fluffed them up. “Hmm,” I mumbled, and while watching her hands, sat back down. “Back in the very beginning, it was only me, Pee Wee, Mouse, and Rico, a friend of theirs. “Darryl didn't join us until the next year. The same year I met you. “This is Rhonda’s first year. She’s my arch-enemy, by the way, but don’t ever tell her that. It’s a personal fantasy I’ve got going in my head, and she doesn’t know a thing about it. It’s nothing bad. It’s just my way of dealing with her crazy teenage crap.” << 127 | 128 | 129 >> CHAPTER 10: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29th
