This is quite the power Abel III has. I have to admit I read this with mixed feelings, thinking someone really could manipulate others like he can. And it must be tempting too, if only to play a prank on someone. Great chapter!
Thank you for your thoughts, Irri. Yes it wasn't only caddish (new word for me btw. but cowardly of Eric. And I imagine Ren walking down the stairs muttering words my mother wouldn't approve of.I needed a way to show that Jonah wanted to really prove he was okay with Eric and Chris, that's why he didn't say anything to their somewhat rude behavior.
Should I start a discussion thread?
I'm glad you're warming up to Jonah. He's one of my favorite characters.In a multi-chapter story a good back story is important to understand better why characters act like they do.

This is how stories start for me. A slice of life, a scene, a short film and I ask myself what happened? Did they break up? will he come back? etc.Oh yes please, a rowing boat in the middle of a lake maybe and they are forced to talk this out.

He felt as if the eyes of everyone in the room were on them. “You don’t have to tell me everything, but m
