I dodged behind Mac for cover and refused to take the bait. I glanced at my nonexistent watch. 'Oops, look at the time. Guess I have to be going now. Let's not do this again sometime, okay?' Before I could move, Pritkin was there, jamming the medallion into the skin of my upper arm.' Ow! ' He looked at me expectantly. I glared at him. 'That hurt! ' What do you see?'

About This Quote

When I was 7, my parents got divorced. It was a very sad time for me. My mom had to move to a different town, and my dad stayed with us. I didn't want to go to school that day because I didn't want to see my dad crying.

I tried not to think about it, but it hurt too much. So I decided to play hooky. When I got home, he was there with some friends pitching horseshoes and doing all kinds of other crazy stuff.

He looked at me and said, “Hey, you wanna play?” I said no because it would make him cry again. He smiled sadly and said, “I never wanted us to fight like this…” And then he got down right in front of me and started crying. He hugged me and said he would never leave us again (he did).

And that's when I realized that mending the broken family ties was more important than playing hooky.
