11. Old Place

23. Not my problem

- Jacob -

.

June scurries around the living room as I throw a few cushions on her way. I chase her behind as she goes upstairs to her room.

“Behave like your age, Jacob!” Mom yells from behind.

God everyone pampers June so much! I gotta kill her. I don’t think I have ever felt this much embarrassment in my life before!!!

I try to push through June’s door as she tries to stop me from entering her room.

“I did you a freaking favor!” She glances at me from the door crack.

“Let me inside! Or I will push hard… Don’t cry mommy when you fall on your bum.”

“Promise we will talk like civilized people.”

“Ok..” I stop pushing the door and June locks it.

I scoff. ”I knew it. Coward.”

“Go pick someone your own size!”

“How long are you planning to stay there? You gotta come out sometime.” I warn her and walk away from her door.

Wait, what?

I go back to her door and knock.

“I am not stupid, Jacob!”

“What do you mean, you did me a favor?”

There is a pause, then she opens her door.
