Chapter 40
"We need to talk." I hate it when he says that. "Sit down." I sit, feeling terrified. "Is there something you need to talk about?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Why?"
"You've been acting strangely, that's all. Are you sure there's nothing wrong?"
"Yes I'm sure."
"Ok then." He says, eyeing me oddly. "If you're sure."
When he's gone, I finally let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. What if he knows? What if he can tell? But he can't…can he? What if he can? What if he knows about what I did? What if they all know? What if everyone knows? They can't, how could they? But what if they do?
"Vince!" Naboo's voice jerks me from my thoughts.
"Naboo? What's wrong?"
"You were shaking and muttering. What happened?"
"Nothing!" I shout without realising. "Nothing." I say, my voice calmer.
"That was not nothing. What happened?"
"Nothing, I just came over a bit funny, that's all. I'm fine." He looks at me, obviously not believing me, then walks out.
I've done it now. He's properly annoyed. I hate it when he's like this. It's worse when he's quiet. I wish he'd just shout, or scream, or do something. Anything.
