A Brother's Point of View part 3

Today, instead of being stuck in the house all day with Jason, we decided to go to the park.

I picked up a spider and dangled it above Shanti's head. "Shanti-it's a friend!" I did my evil laugh and dropped the daddy long leg into her hair.

Shanti started screaming. "Ewww! Get it off! Jason-where is it?"

I watched in utter disgust as Jason fished around in Shanti's hair for the offending bug. "Here it is." he said, holding it up.

Shanti brushed through her hair and itched her arms a couple times before she turned on me. "What is your deal? Why are you being so obnoxious?"

My parents came over from the bench they had been sitting on. Dad stood between Shanti and I, the way he used to right before we were about to get into dirty fight. "What's the problem?"

I was about to make a quick excuse before Shanti could tell on me when Jason cut in. "It was just a joke. jordan put a spider in Shanti's hair. But it's out now."

Shanti and my parents were all looking at me the way they always did when I did something I shouldn't do in front of Jason. But I was sure nobody could have been more embarrassed than me at that point; I hadn't done things like putting bugs on, around, or even in (long story) since Shanti could scream and I could be devious.

My dad knew that I was really embarassed so he just nodded at Jason. "You have my permission to tackle Jordan." He smiled and went back to the bench.

I looked at my shoes. All of a sudden I was on the ground. Jason was laughing on top of me. I pushed him off me, gasping for breath. "It was a joke!" I paused to force more air into my lungs. "You-you weren't really supposed to tackle me!" I stormed off in the direction of the house with Shanti's shouts ringing in my ears; "Come on, Jordan! Can't you take a joke?"

Normally I could. I knew I was being stupid about this whole thing. But as I stomped up the stairs to my room, something in the back of my head said; can I ever show my face to them again?

A Brother's Point of View part 2

I waited in the bushes. There was the car. It pulled into the driveway. Sure, make yourself at home, Jason. I thought.

The car door opened, and Jason stepped out. He looked nervously at the house and started up the walk. My grip tightened on the trigger. Jason came within aim. BOOM!

"Ouch!" Jason stumbled back, gripping his arm. I snickered. Oh, look, Jason's got an owwy.

Jason looked at the paint stain on his shirt. I used the chance to escape back into the house.

()

"What's with the shirt?" Shanti could be such a flirt sometimes.

"Oh, that." Jason glanced at his gray t-shirt to the splattering of black paint on the shoulder.
"It's kind of weird."

I looked up from my mashed potatoes. "Yeah it's weird. Why did you even buy it? And Shanti's always saying that fashion's everything-you two obviously aren't cut out for each other."

Shanti glared at me, mouthing the words "shut up". That was another thing that had changed between us; she was so mean to me now.

Jason laughed nervously. "No, I mean how I got the stain. I was walking up the driveway, and...what I think was a paintball hit me."

"Oh, the neighborhood kids can bee so bratty sometimes." Mom's mouth twitched. She was obviously thinking the same thing Shanti was.

Shanti pinpointed me with her "this better not be true" glare. "Jordan, where did that paintball gun I got you for Christmas go?"

I knew my face was probably going white. "I dunno."

Shanti cocked her eyebrow at me. "Uh-hu."

"You fail to mention that you bought me that thing when I was twelve. I haven't seen it in forever. I haven't used it in forever too. It's probably at the bottom of my closet right now-or maybe it isn't! I don't even know! I-" It sounded fake even to me.

But Shanti held up her hand. "I'm sorry, 'k?

"You better be."

Jason laughed even more nervously. "Brake it up, you two. Brake it up."

I glared at Jason. "You don't have to repeat yourself, what do you think we are-deaf?"
