CHAPTER 4

"This is all your fault!" Stephanie pouted at her brother. She didn't want to stay out here doing nothing, she didn't want to stay here with Shane, of all people, and she didn't want her dad mad at her.

"How is this my fault?! Everything that has happened today is your entire fault! Brat!" Shane spat back.

"I am not a brat!"

"Oh yeah, 'cause you're a spoiled brat!"

"You're just jealous 'cause mommy and daddy don't love you!! They don't give you much attention as much as they do to me."

Shane thought to himself, "Yeah, they don't give me attention. It's me they've been seeing always! It's always my fault!" But he turned to Steph and rebutted her. "I am not jealous of you! Why would I be jealous? You're rude, mean, impolite. Brat!"

"At least someone loves me…"

"Yeah, and one day, nobody's gonna love you anymore. You're so rude that people would hate you. Then, noone's gonna come near you already. Keep that bratty attitude and let's just see if anyone will come and be friends with you anymore! No guy is gonna like you, and they're all gonna avoid you. Then, you'll grow up alone with noone caring for you 'cause you're a selfish brat! You're so spoiled that one day, you're gonna rot!"

On the verge of tears, Steph had to defend herself. No, she was not going to cry. She couldn't let Shane win. "That's not true! You're just jealous…"

"Brat!"

"Jealous!"

"Brat!"

"Jealous!"

"You know what, I don't care anymore. Why do I even bother talking to you? You're just a waste of my time!" Then, he proceeded to sit on the front porch. This was gonna be a long night.
