Chapter 2
"What is it you need Tom?" Peal asks annoyed not looking up from the T.V in the dimly lit corner. "I just wan-" "Did Amethyst get stuck in a tree again?" Pearl asks interrupting me mid sentence. I can't help but let out a slight chuckle." No, no I just wanted to come down here and tal-"
"You know it amazes me how she ends up doing that, she can transform to a bird or something and fly right down, yet she gets stuck and either one of us or the fire department has to get her down." Pearl explains somewhat flustered.
"Are you going to let me finish any of my sentences? Or are you just going to keep interrupting me and continue to talk shit about Amethyst?"
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Pearl says sarcastically " I forgot that it's all about you! It only matters what YOU say and what YOU do!"
"What the hell does that even mean?" I ask raising both arms up in confusion.
"You know I didn't ask you to come down here to join me?! I came down here to be by myself!"
"Your right." I say trying to calm myself down "I just wanted to come down here and talk to you, I keep trying to talk to you and build up some sort of friendly relationship with you, and you keep throwing it in my face."
"You done?" she asks looking me directly in the eyes.
"I mean yeah I guess, unless you have something to say to that." I say somewhat defeated.
"Good." Pearl says as she gets up and walks right out the front door.
"Good talk" I say sarcastically
"Hey man!" I say to the closest waiter I guess I'll be picking up her tab pointing to Pearl's unfinished plate of food. " I don't think she'll be paying."
"You got it!" he says as he gives me a smile and walks away.
"Oh, and can you put an order of waffles on that too? I'm really craving them."
The waiter gives me thumbs up and I plop right down into a booth.
"Hey at least I can say that I tried….again"I say to myself as a shake my head
