After all, wasn't putting Gus on her enough punishment?
But not before he had some fun. Adi quickly came up with an idea at Hannah's next words. "Welllll, You could go swimming in the Lake. Just a few strokes, that's all. Oh and you have to keep Gus perched on your head all the while.'' He smirked. Hey, she asked. "You do that and the air will be crystal clear.'' He gave her a wide smile.
Waiting what seemed like forever to see if Adi was going to forgive her it started to seem like he was coming around. Hannah could tell by his body language and face that he was budging... if only a little bit, it was still a budge. Was he sizing her up? Did he think that she would just make something like that up?
"What are you thinking?" The one word that he finally spit out confirmed it. He thought she was lying.
"Of course. I have a younger brother and sister." Hannah also had an older brother, but that really didn't have much to do with anything.
Then Adi asked the unthinkable.
"You want me to do what?" Had this kid officially lost his mind?
"Oh no, no, no, no, nooo way." there was absolutely no way that she was going to be okay with that.
"Can't we just pinky promise that I will never be mean to you again or something?" She did not want that toad anywhere near her again. Hannah eyed the toad as if he was the one to come up with this absurd idea!
