"Why can't you just do what I want!?" Gloria shouted in a fit of self-ignorance. She stamped her foot on the ground and let out a high pitched growl. "You're so difficult, Bill Strasserman! You're so self-absorbed, you can't even be bothered to do this one tiny little thing I'm asking. Normally I'd be annoyed, but now Tom is buying into your bullshit, so I'm pissed off."
As if on cue, a light began to glow in Gloria's hand. It drew Bill's attention, and his eyes went wide realizing it was coming from the stone he'd found.
"Um, Earth to Bill? Someone's royally pissed at you and would like your attention!" Bill's eyes shot back to Gloria, and he could swear she was thinking about clapping. "Good job! Really, it's impressive that you actually did what I said! Doesn't happen very often with you. I mean, the girls I hang out with run like clockwork compared to you. See they know to respect me! They know that I know best, so what I say goes! Why can't you get that through your thick skull! Why do you have to make things so hard!?"
The stone's light had increased tenfold, it was nearly blinding now, but Gloria was too caught up in her anger to notice. She was in Bill's face, raging, and he was afraid that even a word of warning would mean danger for him. But if the stone itself turned out to be dangerous... He couldn't let someone get hurt when he could have helped, even if that person was Gloria. He swallowed his fear and spoke. "Gloria, I think--"
"That's right, Bill," she immediately interrupted. "You think. That's the problem! God, I wish you were as easy to control as the girls in my clique!"
The stone's light grew further and enveloped the both of them. As the brightness took over Bill's vision, he swore off ever helping Gloria again.
