Peas and Carrots Chapter 22 I still couldn�t imagine that my mom would think I would do something like that. Jane was still at the table, with a weird look on her face. I can�t describe the exact look, but it contained surprise, confusion, and something else, but I couldn�t put my finger on it. "We were just playing Nintendo, Mom! What do you think we were doing? Making out?! He�s my best friend, we wouldn't do that!" I�m sure my face was turning red, because I felt hot. I was mad at my mom for thinking such a thing, and even more upset that she said it in front of Jane! "We didn�t do anything, I swear! Go ask Nick when he gets off the phone with Erik! He�ll tell you that we just played Nintendo and I lost all the games that I played against him. I bet you anything that�s what he�ll say." By that time, I was practically shouting at her, and I had to control myself so I wouldn�t yell at her or just explode. "My goodness, Andrea! Don�t raise your voice at me! I asked you a simple question, and all you do is blow up in my face. I�d like you to apologize to me right now. That was uncalled for," said my mom, surprised at my outburst. "Okay, I�m sorry, I shouldn�t have gotten so upset about that, but I can�t believe you thought that we would do something like that." "I didn�t mean anything like that!" she exclaimed. "I should apologize, also, for jumping to conclusions. I�m sorry, and I�ll try not to do it again." "Thank you Mom," I said as I stood up from the table and left for my room. "What about dessert?" Mom called up at me. "No thanks. I�m not hungry anymore," I said, probably a little too meanly at her, but at the moment, I was too mad to care.Next: Chapter 23 |
