Chapter 13: My Decision

I was completely lost that whole day. Caroline and Jonah where having a normal happy day as I sat there motionless and confused. I sat in the middle of Caroline's bright light living room with floral wallpaper and fancy nice decorated furniture. The truth about Caroline she was actually one of the richest kid at school and Jonah and me where the only one's who knew about it. I sat on the floor in front of her light brown shinny coffee table where her mother left chocolate biscottis on the center of the table for us. Jonah sat right across from me where Caroline sat beside me with many books out on the table. She placed her head on the books complaining about she couldn't understand anything from the text book. Jonah just ate as I sighed and said,

“Come on Caroline, your not even trying to solve the problem. Here I'll give you an example.”

I wrote down a problem on a white piece of paper where she looked down at it as I solved the problem with a explanation. She sighed and kept asking questions where I found myself repeating everything all over again. I sighed as I looked down at Caroline who looked sorry and depressed. I placed my hand over the written problem and said,

“How about a break?”

She lifted her head from the table and smiled with relief. Jonah then said,

“Let's play a game.”

“What game?” I said as Jonah then stood and dusted himself off.

He brushed the biscottis crumbs off his shirt and walked up to Caroline where he grabbed her hand to pulled her put to her feet.

“Lets play truth or dare.”

“Don't you think that's to childish.” said Caroline where she looked back at me where I then said,

“I think it would be better if we had a little more people.”

“Then call Nathan. He's been outside mopping for the longest time. I swear that boy needs some action, and I plan to give it to him if he only asks.” said Jonah with a sassy smile and one eyebrow raised.

I laughed where Caroline then smiled shyly and nodded at me. I sighed as I then stood and walked out to Caroline's backyard. I walked out of the living room to her kitchen that was as big as her living room. White cabinets sat all around the walls of the kitchen white grey granite counters and fresh polished shinny pine wood flooring. For my dad it was a gold mine. I passed the kitchen and walked up to a glass slide white door where I then looked out through it and saw a large long fresh green grass everywhere. Rose bushes, and a oak tree sat on the perimeter of the yard. A small stone fountain with fish sat at the very back next to the rose bushes. I found Nathan sitting on the grass leaning again the large oak tree. I opened the door and stepped out to the grass. My feet slid over the grass making small brushing sounds. I walked to the back and leaned against the oak tree on the other side from where Nathan was sitting.

He seemed not to notice me and sat there staring out into space. He was looking at the fountain that sat in front of him a few feet away. I sighed where I then sat on the grass and said,

“You know we all want to be part of this study group. Jonah keeps asking about you and Caroline is worried about you.”

I looked back to him. He didn't even move. He sat there quite and depressed. My temper was rising like just like the time we fought, and I mean physically. I sighed again trying hard to relax and cool myself down.

“We all care about you Nathan. Why don't you just come back inside and have some fun?” I said looking back at him where he just turned his head away from me.
