Tess:
Something was jabbing into my back. It was the only reason I wasn't making fun of Jared for losing his temper. I must say, he was impressive, when he tried.
Crap that bump in my bag was annoying me!
I stopped in the middle of the road and took off my bag, already searching through it to where the bump was. I pulled out the thing and smiled.
The last peice of candy.
I quickly began to unwrap my treat when it was suddenly snatched from my veiw. I glared up at...
"Jared! Give it back!"
"No way. Now stop acting like a blind idiot and keep walking." He snapped, shoving the sweet goodness in his pocket.
I hopped up and pulled back my hand to punch him. "You son of a monk!"
His hand shot up and stopped my fist. I jerked against him. Jared had gotten stronger. A few days ago I could have pulled away easily. Now I couldn't even wiggle my fingers.
"Don't call me a liar. Only a fool could miss Everlee-" Jared hissed, but I cut him off.
"I am not a fool! I've seen her crying. I know that she is stressed and upset. Don't act like an idiot and think that I can't see through her."
Jared stared at me in shock at my outburst. For once I was really mad at him. I mean, before I had gotten irritated. But now, I could've slapped him.
How could he think that after all this time of knowing Everlee, I couldn't read her like a book? He was even more an idiot than I thought.
I jerked my fist ou tof his grasp. "Then why do you keep on-"
I cut him off again. "Because, they need something on their minds other than battles and love-lifes." I looked at Everlee as she pulled ahead. She was talking to Niyah.
"I act like this because she needs something to do other than think of how she'll be leading her friends into their deaths." I gave a small smile and looked back to jared. "In that way we have a small similarity."
He stared at me for a moment, then turned and began walking away. I stared after him for a second, before he sent the candy flying straight for my face.
I gave a small cry and caught it. He didn't say a word. Didn't break a stride. Just kept walking. I smiled. Jared was always like that, other than when he was an idiot.
I shoved the candy back in my bag and went on my way.
I had a very specail plan for it.
