As he made his plans, Judd became more and more angry. He disagreed with every-thing his parents did
or said. He was mean and sarcastic.

One day after school his little brother came into his room.

"What doyou want?" Judd asked Marc.

"I just wanted to ask you a question. Are you still a Christian?"

Judd lied. "Of course," he said. "What's it to you?"

"I was just wonderin' because it doesn't seem like you're happy or acting like one."

"Why don't you get out of here and mind your own business!"

"Will you be mad at me if I pray for you?"

"Don't waste your breath."
"You're makin' Mom cry, you know that?"

"She shouldn't waste her tears either."

"Judd, what's the matter? You used to care---"

"Out! Get out!"

Marc looked pale and tearful as he left. Judd shook his head, disgusted, and told himself Marc would be
a lot better off when he outgrew his stupidity.l used to be just like that, Judd thought.What a wuss!

Judd stuffed some of his favorite clothes in his book bag and jogged downstairs. "And where do you
think you're going, mister?" his mother said. Did she always have to talk like that? Couldn't she just ask a
simple question?

"I'm going to the library to study," Judd said. "I'll be there till closing, so don't wait up for me."

"Since when did you get interested in studying?" his mother asked.

"You said you wanted my grades to improve! "

"You don't need to go to the library to study, Judd. Why don't you stay here and---"

"I need some peace and quiet, all right?"

"What will you do for dinner?"

"I'll get something out."

"Do you need some money?"

"No! Now leave me alone!"
