Part 4

"This is wonderful Paul" I said trying to get his mind away from the fact that i was invading his privacy.

"Answer my question" he said in a very forceful tone.

"i.... ahhh.. Paul"

"ANSWER IT!"

"I just wanted to see if you had an ok day at school and the door was open" i hoped he would calm down a little.

"This is my shed. I specifically put on the door to knock and if there is no answer then go away. But you obviously didnt respect that did you. Get out."

"But Paul i..."

"JUST GET OUT!!!"

I looked at him and saw the rage in his eyes so i left. I made my way slowly home with tears streaming my face. Why was i so stupid! i knew i shouldnt have gone in there. but No, i had to be snoopy. I stayed in bed the rest of the afternoon and had an uneasy sleep. I had to do something to let him know im sorry.

The next day whilst he was at school i went over to his place and slid a note under his door.

The note read:

Dear Paul.
I didnt mean to go into your shed. I guess i was curious. Its just me. I have to know everything. Im really sorry.

Chris.

I waited for the rest of the day on my verandah. He walked into his house and didnt even notice me sitting there.

I waited for a while longer and finally he came out. He looked over at me and then turned away. He walked back into his house and left me feeling even worse than i was before.
