Author's Note: Thanks to whomever told me about my out-of-character experience. I'll have to keep a closer eye on my dialouge.
" You know what?," Tommy asked Lorian as they waited for the final verdict to be passed about Charlie.
" What?," Lorian was watching his parents and his sister, as they spoke with Darcie and her mother. He wished he could hear what they were saying.
" Your mom is the greatest!," Tommy declared," She told me I was courageous!"
" I heard," Lorian said, not taking his eyes off what he had been watching.
Finally Darcie and her mother left, leaving Charlie alone with Mama and Dad. Lorian looked smug as Darcie and her mother passed the group he was standing with to leave the classroom.
As Lorian watched, Dad swung Charlie onto his shoulders.
" Alright!," He whispered. If Dad was piggy-backing Char, it meant that she wasn't in much trouble.
A moment later, Lorian felt a poke in his side, and he turned to see Terrance watching him," What'cha looking at?"
It was then Lorian realized Mama, Dad, and Charlie had left the spot he had been watching and now where talking with Uncle Jon.
" Nothing," Lorian said happily," Nothing at all."
