Andy was back home in his room drawing when he heard a knock at the door. He stopped what he was doing, walked all the way down to the front door of the apartment and opened it. It was one of the boys from earlier.
"Hey! Guess what Omar got! Somebody left it outside his door. Come check it out!" the kid then left.
Without hesitation, Andy abandoned his mom's apartment without locking the door. He simply closed the door behind him and followed the kid. Following the kid down the hall felt like a journey.
Omar's apartment seemed to be far away but it was only several doors down.
When Andy entered Omar's apartment, he felt like he was in another man's lair as if he didn't belong there. He saw several kids staring and laughing at something. What could it be?
It turned out to be another Buddi doll. It was a Buddi doll remotely controlling a car with his "ET" finger.
Andy wondered if that was the same Buddi doll he had or a completely different one. But how could that be the same one when he threw it down the garbage chute? Andy cautiously approached the others.
When Omar saw Andy walk into his apartment, he made a comment. "Yo Andy! Somebody gave me a Buddi doll and it actually works! Sorry yours didn't!"
The kids laughed.
Andy felt insulted. 'How dare Omar rub it in my face!' he thought to himself.
But Omar was hardly his friend! He was more of a frenemy!
Andy watched painfully as the Buddi doll performed.
"I named him Chode." Omar stated.
'Chode? What kind of name was that? That's such a stupid name! But oh well it's his Buddi!' Andy thought.
"Hey check this out! Hey Chode, salut your master!" Omar commanded.
"I salut you, master." Chode then gave a salut.
The crowd laughed.
"Hey master, wanna go get a burger? Yummy!" said Chode with a smile.
Watching everyone enjoy the moment made Andy feel bad. He looked away and wanted to cry but he couldn't let them see that...especially Omar!
However, Falyn saw Andy look away and looked concerned. 'I hope he's ok!' she thought to herself.
