"Well Jon it's getting late and I don't want to miss dinner so I'll see you tomorrow" Karyn said turning to leave.
"Wait Karyn. What about my stone?"
"I'm not sure I can trust you with the stone after what you did. I think I'll just hold onto it until I'm sure you're responsible enough to have it back." Karyn then slipped the stone into her pocket and started to walk away.
"But..." Jon said quietly hanging his head. He watched Karyn walking off not once looking back at him. He dejectedly started walking home thinking about how he had gotten himself into this situation.
When Jon got home his mother was in the kitchen cooking. She saw the clothes he was wearing and was obviously shocked but surprisingly didn't say anything. "Dinner will be ready in a few minutes if you wanted to change your clothes." she said.
"Thanks Mom, that's okay I don't need to change." Jon said. She frowned but didn't push.
"Okay dear. In that case would you please set the table." Jon did as she'd asked and once dinner was finished cooking and the table was set Jon's mom called his younger siblings, Zoe and Mikey, down to eat.
"Geeze Jon, what the hell are you wearing?" Zoe, Jon's goth sister, said as she came into the dining room.
"It's none of your business. I can dress any way I want to." Jon said.
Jon and Zoe's prepubescent younger brother started laughing as soon as he saw Jon wearing Karyn's dress. "I knew you were a girl but I didn't think you would ever admit it."
"Screw you, brat" Jon spat back angrily.
"Stop it! All of you." their mother scolded at the fighting siblings. "We are going to sit down and enjoy our dinner like a big happy family and I don't need you children squabbling. Jon, you can wear whatever you want to. I think your dress looks cute."
Jon blushed at what his mother had said. He didn't really want to be told 'his' dress was cute but he figured if he didn't say anything maybe the subject would be dropped.
After a quiet meal Jon headed upstairs to his room to start on his homework.
