"Thanks," said Antonio. That was a real compliment, especially coming from Jack. He was pleased at how much he was developing as a person and learning how to interact with others. One day he would be a great man.

It had been a while, but Antonio heard a distinct knock on the door. "I guess I better see who it is," he said, and went to turn the door knob. "Hello, Paris," he said. "Would you like to come inside? We were just trying that muggle beverage known as Coca Cola." He smiled. Paris was wearing a very pretty dress and looked like she had taken great pains with her appearance, as if she were trying to impress someone. Antonio figured it must be some boy.
