Chapter 42 Aidan ran at me as fast as he could. “This is for when you stole my GI Joe and made him marry your Barbie!” I almost started laughing. The look of intensity on his face was humorous to me. But I was able to move towards him, grab his arm and use his momentum to flip him onto his back. “Ooof!” he groaned. “Good job. I guess you can listen once in a while.” He stood up, dusting dead grass from his pants. Since I had returned, Joey and Aidan had been making sure I knew some self defense moves. They both showed me the proper ways to attack and kill. I hoped I never needed to use any of this, but it was good to learn it. “I can listen when you say something worth listening to. Usually it’s just blah, blah, blah.” I moved my hand open and closed, like a mouth.
