(We came back out because the place we really should be in is the Senior's Center. That's the real place where they make the Dog-Controllers. I have to go back home because it is a quarter to ten. We will meet at the Senior's Center tomorrow at 8:00 a.m.,) I said.
"Hey, midget. How was it at your girlfriends house?" He asked.
"It was fun. We raced, but Cassie won." I replied smiling.
It was a fake smile, but it was the best that I could do.
"We went to The Sharing, to do some community work. We were doing a big clean-up at the library. You know, to give our share of the community work. We had a huge barbecue afterward. You should join because then, we could spend more time together. Just me and you. Like the olden days," Tom informed me.
"Maybe, I might join some day," I said feeling a bit sick even thought I tried not to show it.
"You always give the same answer when I ask you if you want to join The Sharing. Tell me what you have against The Sharing. You can't dump something that you do not know," Tom said, pushing hard to make me say yes.
"I just want to be a unique kid with a unique goal. I don't want to be a part of a club. You were always part of something Tom, but I never was. I really want to leave it that way," I told him.
"If you do not want to be part of something bigger than it is your loss. Nevertheless, you should at least try it before you say you don't like it," he replied.
"Like I said, I might join it some day. However, for now I just want to be one little insignificant kid." I said.
Tom just shrugged like it was no big deal and he went upstairs but his eyes said "We will one day get you and your weak species. It won't be long..."
I decided that I was going to do some of the math homework that Ms.Swilts gave us but I could not concentrate so I finally gave up and went to bed.
