emily stared at me .
a truce ?
seriously ?
that is the complete opposite of what were doing .
i know but trust me ; we need to meet under a truce .
what about monster fighting and this whole puzzle with the dwarfs ?
did we just forget all about it or are we not going to do our job anymore ?
were still fighting , jazell .
were all just having some fun because its summer and not school .
well get back to it later .
listen , why dont we meet once and then go back to this water war .
at least we should think about this a little bit .
i pushed the paper of warnings in front of her face .
fine , she snatched the paper out of my hands .
well meet jazell , okay ?
are you happy now ?
then well go back to soaking each other randomly .
yes , im happy .
i didnt call a truce for the warnings .
i did it because thats when id talk to seth and get his secret out of him .
then maybe i could help him and stop having to watch his miserable face .
emily made a face and left the room to dial jasons number and tell him about the meeting .
i waited patiently for her to come back in my room .
i cant wait long because i have a tendency to go crazy , so i walked up to my window sill and looked at the sky .
i stared it and turned around to see emily come back in .
but not before my eyes caught a flash of blue .
emily and i parked our bikes and headed into the woods and towards the clearing .
we stepped into it , and i took in the familiar feeling .
out of all the places weve all been , this place felt the safest , as if it were surrounded by a good force , not bad for once .
we often met here when we werent all together .
i sat down next to emily on a log .
minutes later jason and seth emerged from the trees .
they werent smiling or doing anything suspicious so i figured we were safe , for now .
they sat down across from us .
i noticed that seth was avoiding my eyes .
so whose crazy idea was it to meet under a truce when were having so much fun wreaking havoc on each other ?
jason asked .
emily sighed and pointed at me , this crazy person right here .
so what do you want ?
he continued and eyed me .
i took a small , quiet breath and said what i had planned , i want to work on the dwarf problem .
i nodded towards emily , signaling her to take out her paper .
she groaned and pulled the folded piece of paper out of her pocket .
she unfolded it and placed it in front of us .
while we studied it , i tried to catch seths eye , but he didnt look at me .
i felt something boil deep within me-the anger at him .
we were his best friends , we told each other everything and now he was keeping something from us .
i could see it was eating at him , so why didnt he tell us what it was ?
that was the question that was making me steam .
seth out with it !
i didnt know why i shouted .
i startled him and he looked up at me .
what do you mean , jazell ?
i mean tell me what youre hiding !
i yelled at him .
he stood up , im not hiding anything .
his voice was level but it shook slightly .
i stepped towards him and gave him a hard shove .
he stumbled back and fell on the ground .
he looked up at me , waiting for what i would do next .
why are you keeping a secret from me ?
i repeated , my voice as cold as an icicle .
seth didnt answer me , instead he did the most cowardly and annoying thing you can do .
the idiot ran off .
seth pushed himself up at a surprising speed and raced off into the woods .
i did the crazy thing that people like me would do and followed him .
i looked over my shoulder to see if emily and jason were coming but both of them stared at me , baffled .
their faces disappeared as i was swallowed by the trees .
i skidded to a halt and scanned the trees .
i didnt see any trace of where seth could have ran .
that shows how much i know about asking questions .
i dont get the answers and boom ; i lose it and become a demanding person .
i walked more slowly , watching the trees .
i sent a silent prayer that seth hadnt entered igneeria , because then i would never find him .
what bugged me the most was that seth didnt fight me when i pushed him down .
he just sat on the ground not saying anything at all in his own defense .
now , i couldnt find him anywhere and i would never get my answer .
i heard a large snap to my right and i whirled around .
i heard another crack and i slowly crept towards the noise .
another snap sounded , louder this time , to my left .
i changed direction and hid behind a tree .
i peeked around it .
seth grabbed another stick and slammed it into a tree .
it hit the tree with a loud crack and broke in half .
he picked up another and rammed it again .
he went to grab another one but his fingers couldnt grasp it .
they shook so hard he dropped it and he sunk to the ground .
i saw him place his head under his arms and he curled himself in a tight bundle .
he shook and i heard him do something that i thought seth never did .
he cried .
i stepped out from behind the tree and walked over to him .
he didnt hear me , or look up .
i wasnt mad at him anymore for not telling me what i wanted to know .
now i felt bad that i had nagged him so hard that he was breaking .
i walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his body .
he stopped crying and i felt him squirm .
seth grunted and then mumbled , get off me .
no , not until you tell me whats going on , i said .
he groaned .
seriously jazell , nothing is wrong .
