Show Inside Out, 218 "Yeah," said Terra. "He's the one my brother Joseph got his stuff from. I've actually never seen any of my friends" (she looked at me significantly and gestured back to the house) "buy from him, but I'm not surprised that he's Simon's dealer." I was speechless. I began walking again, towards where I knew Dad would be waiting with the car. Terra asked, "Where are you going?" "Come with me. My dad is here, in the car, around the corner there... Terra, why didn't you tell me about him?" Terra laughed a little. "I told you he was a cheater, didn't I?" "Yeah, well, that's . . . mild compared to this, don't you think?" "Maybe," she shrugged. "You really liked him." "Yeah, I did," I said. "But you would have told me, right?" "Probably," she said. We rounded the corner and saw Dad sitting in the car. His face lit up when he caught sight of me. He really did love me-I could see it all over his face. He jumped out of the car and ran around to the passenger side. "Andli. Tm so glad you're alright. I know it was just a party but-well, I guess parents worry. Something about it gave me the creeps. And you must be Terra." Terra nodded, smiling a little. "Hop in, girls," he said, opening the back door. I turned towards Terra. "I do really need to talk to you," I said. |
