Chapter #4Reader's Choice by: Unknown After yelling at each other for almost twenty minutes, Harry had enough and simply walked out; letting Mel fume alone in her room.
Walking through the house to find John and Megan, he found them snuggling on the hammock in the backyard. "Geez John; I thought you only like Megan as a friend."
With his friends either preoccupied or angry with him, Harry decided it was best to go home. As he walked towards the front door, he walked past the den and saw Hannah watching TV. "Poor kid; I don't understand why she doesn't have any friends."
Sensing someone watching her, Hannah turned to the door and
said, "Hi Harry; want to watch TV?"
"Sure, why not." Shrugging, Harry said, "The others may be doing their own thing; but I guess this is better than going home to an empty house."
As Harry sat down next to her, Hannah showed him a bag of
Chips Ahoy cookies. "Want a cookie?"
"Thanks, I'd love one." Pausing to eat a cookie, Harry said,
"How come you're not outside playing with the neighbor kids?"
"I don't like them; they always make fun of me." Sighing, Hannah said, "I'd love to be like John; with both Megan and you as friends."
"Don't let them get you down, Hannah; you've got nothing to be ashamed about." Smiling, Harry said, "Besides I'm your friend; I've known you since you were a baby."
"Oh yeah, I forgot." Giggling, Hannah said, "It's too bad you're not a girl like me; then we could be best friends and do everything together."
"I'm not sure I'd like being a girl, Hannah." Chuckling, Harry said, "But I'll tell you what; if you ever want to hang out and watch TV, you're welcome to come over."
"Thanks Harry." Smiling, Hannah said, "That makes me feel better."
