FreeNovelJimmy's face went from pale to tomato red at my words. "What the heck? Don't insult me. We're square, end of story." Seeing him so annoyed yet trying to keep his cool made my day a little brighter.
I took a step forward, and he hastily stepped back, crossing his arms, looking like I was the big bad wolf to his Little Red Riding Hood. I couldn't help but laugh, "What, scared I'll do something? Look at you, all scaredy-cat. I'm just curious why you've suddenly turned into such a goody two-shoes around me?" "Is being good a bad thing now? Unless you were hoping I'd be..." Jimmy cut himself off, "Don't try to bait me. And keep your distance, I'll start recording to prove it." His cowardly stance madesnort with laughter. "Out with it. What did Dustin do to tyou?" Jimmy avoided my gaze, mumbling, "I don't know what you're talking about. Move, I've got things to do." I blocked his way with a leg, saying, "Quit playing dumb. I know you're in Dustin's pocket now. You wouldn't even sell out your own sister otherwise." Jimmy's face flushed deeper.
I gave him a once-over; he was decked out in designer gear. I understood when Haley was swiping Conrad's card for him, but those days were gone.

I knew he wouldn't spill. It had to be Dustin's orders.
I smiled, replying, "Jimmy, all those times you messed with me, I never took it to heart. Thought of it as child's play, but... selling out your own sister? That's a new low." My words hit a nerve, making Jimmy's eyes blaze with anger. He pointed a finger at me, "Say that again." "Did I strike a nerve?" I raised an eyebrow.
Ultimately, Jimmy's guilt got the better of him, and he withdrew his accusing finger without another word. Life's too short to waste on losers, so I walked away without further comment.
"Where are you going? What are you up to?" Jimmy, probably guessing was mon to see his sister, f me.
"To chat with your sister." swnow He immediately got defensive, "After everything you've done to her, what more do you want?" Blood is thicker than water, after all. He was still protective of his sister.
"You guys are the ones who hurt her, Jimmy. Don't you have a conscience?" He struggled to respond, his mouth opening and closing without a word.
"Your sister's in this mess because of what she did. If you've got any decency left, you'd tell her to back off instead of egging her on suggested.
Jimmy ruffled his hair in frustration, "She's too far gone, no turning back now." "So, she's doomed and wants to drag others down with her?"
