OUTSIDE THE DIGANDI HOUSE.

"You look nice. Can I come in, please?"

His other rubber band snapped. "No, my mommy and I are about to have a protein shake. It's where you put egg, meat- cooked of course. I don't want worms. And then we put bread, nuts, and other stuff and blend it together. Then, we put some seasoning into it and drink it through straws."

Karin was picking at her fingernails rather innocently.

Then he closed the door in her face. Glowering, he turned back around and made his way to Karin, looking pretty mad. Once again, I'll say it- it's hard to take him seriously when dressed like that. "Alright, you /////. Get out of my house right now."

"Alright, I will. As soon as you tell me where you got your shoelaces from. And, I suggest you see another orthodontist. Your rubber bands aren't supposed to snap." she said cruelly.

He scowled. "It's fake, you idiot." Then, he pulled out the braces. In face, they were fake. "I just found the smallest rubber bands and used them.

"Of course I knew they were fake. They certainly look fake. But," she smiled again. That signature smile of her's-rather cruel, with a look of knowledge with it. So a sorta wise looking one. "I think that they suit you. You should get really ones, for that nasty overbite of your's,"

He placed them back in. "I wouldn't mind getting them. But, you shouldn't be talking, with those horrible teeth of yours. Maybe magic didn't fix them after all." He leaned in real closely to her. Almost nose-to-nose. "Besides, if you're so eager to impress me with a kiss, you should brush your teeth first." he said softly.

"Oh, they're such a pain. You don't really wan-oh common! Now, you're just ASKING for it!"

"You know, I'm trying everything to piss you off, but nothing's working."

"Listen, after living with my sister, for all your life, pretty much nothing can you piss you off,"

He grabbed her shoulders. "Listen, I don't have the time for you this year. You've messed up enough last year, and caused such a huge problem. I swear, I'm not going to cope with your useless crap and big-headed comments. And I'm warning you, no matter how much I regret say this, just leave me alone."

Karin looked a bit puzzled. "Weird, that's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. And to piss you off, but still."

It was his turn to look puzzled. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's OWLs year. And, I can't afford to mess around any longer. If I actually want to succeed in life, I gotta pass these."

Antonio's puzzled, sharp look softened into a smile. He let his arms drop to his sides. "Yes, Karin. That's right. Well, you could have told me that on a letter."

"Yes, well. I just wanted to see you in person,"

He smiled. "I still don't like you, you know."

"Yeah, I know,"

"But then at the same time... Aww, forget it. Just go home."

"What?"

And so he repeated it. "Go home."

"Before that, stupid."

"'Aww, forget it'?"
