Boy meets world: A new start

Characters: John T and Shawn Hunter

I didn't know how long this roommate thing would last. I didn't mean to forget his last part but like school I tone things out I don't care about. But his expression was hopefully and he didn't yell which I like! My response was "I am sorry I forgot, is the dish still there."

Shawn was so sad I didn't mean to hurt him, at all in fact. But being a guardian/ roommate is going to take some work on my part. I finally stop my train of thought and responded with "Yes its still in there, but don't be sorry ok. When I was a child I would forgot too!"

I am not a little Kidd who need advice and be treating nicely I am almost an adult. He should treat me as such; however I wished I had a better childhood. So instead of yelling of taking my anger out at him, I took deep breaths counted to ten and did as I was told.

Shawn expression was full of pain like I would hurt him. I would never harm a child. After Shawn washed dish, I decided be best get things for his room. I mean there just a bed in there. But I will start slow..

Shawn walked back over to the couch and watched Tv. But the silence is killing me, I know he is a boy and not a girl. So I decided ounce again to start the conversation with " hey Shawn umm. Do you come with me to get things for you're room." Did I push too hard?

I didn't know what to say, I haven't see the room yet. But yet again Jon is push it, he is not my dad. But I don't say that aloud because first time it hurt his feelings. I decide to say " Listen Jon I haven't see the room yet. I bet it's not so bad."

The Kidd right. I know I pushing too hard, and I am not his father. But the pain of rejection in a kid eyes haunt my soul. I decided change my thoughts and say "Yea Shawn you're right . The room is by the kitchen to you're right. If you change you're mind Kidd tell me."

Why does he keep calling me Kidd? Is it some nickname, does he call all students Kidd? I walk toward direction of the room, it has a bed and a small dresser. Why Jon complaining this is fine. So I tell him "Jon this room perfect." Do I sound like a little kid, I want him like me as a friend!

I call him Kid, because yes it's his nickname and I don't think his family ever called him by a nickname. Shawn this room perfect, but doesn't have life in it.. It's just plain dresser and a small bed its like a motel. So I tell him "I am glad you like it. But Shawn it needs something, that's why I ask before."

I just meet this man and he has power make feel bad about myself. And this room fine at least has good space in it. Not like the trailer! I decide tell him " Really Jon it's fine Thanks."

I going drop this subject because turn into a argument, we don need that right now he is my guest. I happen to an excellent cook so I ask him " Ok Shawn will drop this subject for now. But is there something want eat, I will make it for you."

What is a cook too? Jon trying act like a real father, but I being through enough pain. I don't need another one. But on other hand I am hungry and haven't eaten, that cereal didn't full me up. I tell Jon "I am kinda of hungry but you don't have make something. I will call Cory maybe he wants pizza!"

Has no adult figure beside Matthews feed this child. He is skinny like a broom. I don't even responded, I walk into the kitchen and start making food for this child..

Obviously Jon is ignore me and making the food anyway. I don't even know what he is making, so I ask "Jon what are you making? I told I was going eat with Cory!"

I was in a daze making stew.. Until Shawn ask me what what I was making. I respond with "Shawn I am making stew. And you can hang with Cory tomorrow after school."

Stew? I have never heard of it, the Matthews always makes different kinds food. And how dare he tell me who I could and couldn't see. Again this man forgets that's not my dad. But I am hungry so I don't dare express my opinion.

Wow what surprise me,is he keep mouth shut. The stew looks just about done, so I serve him some.

Shawn:

It might be the little kid in me but I give him a disquieting look.

He reminds me of a little kid with that face. But I don't call him on it, instead I say "Shawn it's just meat and potatoes. You like meat right?"

I suddenly stop my look. Why he convince me to try? I am not a kid, who needs kind words or someone to make me dinner. Instead I try it and like it.. I eat the whole thing. Now I am wondering if I can have some more.

I am pretty good at reading expression, and this Kid, was hungry. I decide to ask just to make him say it " Shawn I told you would like it. Do you want some more?"

He know I want more just my expression, he was just teasing me and trying make me say please. I don't say that word very often, because years of abuse and rejection. So instead I don't say it I say "sure thanks."

Jon gives Shawn more stew. Jon said "Here Shawn here is more stew glad you liked it."

Shawn eyes glaze over by the amount of food in the bowl. Lots of meat and potatoes. Shawn says nothing until all of the food is gone..

Jon comments to Shawn "please wash your dish and do your homework. Tomorrow you can list Cory." Am I try too hard again, would really like this kid too like me. As a guardian or as a friend.

Shawn thinks he is try to hard, but refuses too comment again. Shawn said "okay, but I have no homework!"
