Chapter 4-Something Weird Happens

Irmas POV

"Irma, you could have been a little nicer" Will pointed out carefully.

"Why?" asked Irma. "She wouldn't give us the time of day for weeks, and now she comes bouncing back, what am I supposed to do, give her a hug?"

"I didn't mean that it's just-" Will cut off her own sentence.

"Just what?" asked Irma. "Sorry Will, I missed that last part"

For a second, Will didn't answer, she looked like she was being distracted by something.

"Will?" asked Irma tentavely. "Is something wrong? Will?"

Suddenly, Will shook her head and came out of the trance. "Sorry. W-what did you say?"
Irma continueed to look at her weirdly. Taranee and Hay Lin did to. "You okay Will?" asked Hay Lin.

"Course, why wouldn't I be?" she sounded like good old Will again.

"Well, you were acting kind of strange for a minute there", said Irma.

"It's just…nothing", said Will. "Forget about it"

"Well, okay", sid Irma doubtfully. Will had scared her there for a sec. She hoped Will would be all right.

The girls left Wills' about an hour later, discussing Wills weird behavior.

"I thought I was imagining things", said Taranee.

"I'm surprised you weren't in her head trying to find out what was going on", Irma joked.

"I tried", said Taranee. Irma stopped laughing.

"Whatta you mean, tried?" asked Hay Lin.

"Something was blocking me out", said Taranee. "That's never happened before. It was strange, like something was pushing me back, almost"

Irma found that kinda weird. Taranee'd had the power to read minds for awhile, and she had never described something like that happening. "Weird", Hay Lin muttered.

"You're telling me", said Taranee. "It gave me a headache"

"Ouch", Irma joked. Hay Lin laughed as they got to the corner. Taranee said goodbye to Irma and Hay Lin, and left for her house. Irma and Hay Lin had a few blocks to go before they had to say goodbye, so they kept talking.

The two finally got to Irmas' house. She said goodbye to Hay Lin and went inside.

"Irma? Is that you?" that was her dads way of greeting her as she walked inside.

"Who else would it be?" Irma yelled.

She made her way up to her room, and shut the door as soon as she got in.

"Irma!" of course, her door didn't stay shut for long.

"Chris!" cried Irma. "What have I told you about knocking?"

"Dad said you would take me to the park when you got home", said Chris.

"Well Dad lied", said Irma, laying back down on her bed. "Now get out!"

"I wanna goto the park!" cried Chris. "Dad said you would!'

"Ask Dad if he'll take you", said Irma. She wasn't in the mood to go anywhere with her little brother. What if someone saw her?

"Forget it", said Irma. "I am not taking you to the park"

"Fine!' said Chris. "Then I'll tell Mom and Dad about you breaking your curfew last week!"

Aaww nuts, thought Irma.

"All right", she said finally. "Lets go"

She dragged herself grudgingly off her bed, and followed her brother out the door.

Why am I here? Irma found herself thinking an hour later. Her brother was playing catch with one of his friends, and she was bored out of her mind.

I should have brought some homework, she thought. It'd be better than this.

Homewrok? What had her life come to? She actually missed being a guardian. At least it gave her something to do.

"Chris!" she yelled after about an hour. "It's time to go home!"

He said goodbye to his friend, and ran up to his sister. Then they both headed home.

(All right, yea, it was a boring chapter, but hey, the more important things happened in the beginning. Just stay tuned for the next chapter)
