I kick around the stones by the lake, attempting to hit the dead frog on the other side of the lake. It was not a solution to any of my problems, but it was comforting and soothing. "I heard you two fighting," I hear a voice come out from behind the trees. Realizing it was Emily, I continue on my business, ignoring her statement. Here was obsessive and stalker-ish Emily once again. "I did not mean to eavesdrop if that's what you are concerned about." She mutters, picking up a stone for herself. "I only happened to pass by while Grandpappy Jack asked for the milk pails." "I don't care whether or not you were acting up again, Emily. It doesn't matter," I say, throwing a stone over. "It doesn't change the fact the boys are goddamn cowards." Emily tries to copy me and throws a stone over,
