"It's the same here too, Jon-boy," Karyn whispered, "my family, the school, and anything else I'm not thinking of thinks I've always been this way."
"The rock is powerful, Karyn," Jon whispered back.
"It's also pretty damn cool.
"It's pretty damn dangerous. I don't know Karyn, I still think I should just bury it and leave before we do something stupid."
"Oh, I didn't know you were such a chicken."
"Karyn don't do this"
"Such a scared little chicken talking to me."
"Knock it off"
"C'monn. Just commit to the meetup after school. If you still feel bad about the rock, I'll help you get rid of it. Deal?"
"Okay okay... you win."
"Yes!"
Karyn gave Jon a quick side hug before running off to class.
