Has Sparky worked out that Rat is in love with him?
Chapter 21
Sparky works me out
I got a text from Sparky asking me to meet him in the car park of The County Ground.
Alarm bells were screaming inside my head after what I had done. Remember when I told you about that Spider-Sense I’ve got? Well, it was telling me not to go and meet Sparky.
But I went along anyway.
What else could I do?
He was there already when I arrived, pacing back and forth.
“Why did you want to meet here?” I asked as I walked up to him.
I was pretty sure I knew the answer. At least the answer to what he wanted to see me about. How I was going to answer the obvious question he would ask me, I had no idea yet.
Sparky stopped moving and turned his back on me and looked out over the cricket pitch behind the football ground.
He had never turned his back on me like this before.
“How long have we known each other Rat?” asked Sparky.
“A good while.”
“And we’ve been fighting like brothers too, haven’t we?”
I nodded.
“I just want to know that you’ve got my back. That I can trust you.”
“You already know that I have. Why the Hell are you asking me?”
“Because I think you’re lying to me,” he said.
“What?”
“I think you’re a liar. I’m gonna ask you one question and I want an honest answer.”
Sparky stepped towards me, “What you did at my place the other day, I thought it was just weird, but it isn’t, is it?”
…….. Let me know in the poll if you want to find out what happens with Rat and Sparky now.
