Chapter 2
"Hey Teer, your dad is here." said Lydia.
"Oh...um see you later Lydia," said Rudyard reluctantly.
"Bye Teer and you won't see me later I'm going to go see Philipa and John." Lydia got up from the bench she and Rudyard had been sitting at and started walking away.
"Why, are you going to see those goodie-goodies. They are Marid, you know good djinn." said Rudyard with dislike in his voice.
"Yes, but they are my friends. Philipa invited me to hang out with her and her Uncle Nimrod. You know for good djinn they aren't that bad." She continued to walk away.
"I can't believe I'm friends with you." said Rudyard with irriation thick in his voice. He didn't like that Lydia was spending so much time with the Marid, especially John and Philipa. he was starting to get a little jealous at how close she was getting with John.
"What does that mean Rudyard? I thought you didn't care that I was mundane." Lydia couldn't believe Rudyard was actually saying this. They had become such good friends. They had fun together and she has fun withJohn and Philipa she thought because they were friends he could put aside his hate for them for her.
"I don't care that you are mundane. It's you know I hate them. Why are you even talking to them let alone being nice." spat Rudyard.
"Rudyard they are fun and I don't care if you don't like them. I didn't ask to hang out with us. You don't have to be nice to them." Lydia was really getting irritated with Rudyard now so she stormed away not looking back or repling to Rudyard.
Who does she think she is? She may be beautiful and smart but she doesn't understand how the djinn world works. Why doesn't she understand marid and Ifrit don't get along and we never will. Why is she spending so much time with John? I'm way more fun than him.
'Fine just go than!" shouted Rudyard. "Rudard, why are you shouting?" asked Iblis as he approached his son. "I don't want to talk about it." Rudyard walked to the car with a sour expression on his face.
"Alright than, how is Lydia?" asked Iblis as he and rudyard got into the car. "She is just fine." Iblis sensed an unbalance in his son's mood. He was always happy or as happy as an Ifrit could be around Lydia.
"Are you sure. What happened you're angry?" Rudyard stared blankly out the window of the car. They were driving back to their hotel to have a meeting about some world domination plan with the rest of the Ifrit. This would have made Rudyard smile or smirk a little even after a fight with a friend but he couldn't stop thinking about Lydia.
"She hanging out with Marid." spat Rudyard. Iblis looked over at Rudyard. He really didn''t know what to say. He was never much of a father and he never really any father thhings with Rudyard.
"Well, son I don't know what to say. Look, just forget about Lydia if she wants to go hang out with those Marid then let her. You don't her as a friend." stated Iblis hoping he had solved Rudyard's little problem.
