《Flipped》3.13
When I went in to see him, those big hands of his were woven together, resting on the newspaper in his lap.I said, " Granddad? You wanted to see me?"
"Have a seat, son."
Son? Half the time he didn't seem to know who I was, and now suddenly I was "son"? I sat in the chair opposite him and waited.
"Tell me about your friend Juli Baker."
"Juli? She's not exactly my friend..
"Why is that?" he asked, Calmly. Like he had prior knowledge.
I started to justify it, then stopped myself and asked, "Why do you want to know?"
He opened the paper and pressed down the crease, and that's when I realized that Juli Baker had made the front page of the Mayfield Times, There was a huge picture of her in the tree, surrounded by a fire brigade and policemen, and then some smaller photos I couldn't make out very well, "Can I see that?"
He folded it up but didn't hand it over, "Why isn't she your friend, Bryce?
