Chapter Eight- Doubt

Zack stared at him. "You?"

This question caused Jack to get uncomfortable, seeing Zack's unbelieving face. "Uh... yeah. Me."

Zack looked at him and then looked away. "I don't know..."

Jack could feel his blood start to boil. "What do you mean 'you don't know'?"

"I don't know if Old Sam wanted his farm taken by some... boy he didn't know."

Zack was acting almost snobby. Jack couldn't stop his cheeks from burning with anger. He tried to keep his voice steady. "...boy?"

"Yeah, I think having a farm would be too tough for you, little dude. I mean, look at ya!" He moved a hand up and down, motioning for Jack to look at himself.

Jack didn't look and continued staring into Zack's eyes. "I don't see anything wrong with me," he said cooly. "And, Sarah was going to take me to his farm anyway to see it. Why wouldn't Sam want me to take over the farm?"

Zack sneered. "Do I have to answer tha-"

"Look, pal." Jack pointed his finger at him. "I don't know who you think you are, but I'm going to Mineral Town, and I'm going to look at this farm myself. I've been wishing for an opportunity like this for too damn long to have some fat, stupid oaf tell me otherwise."

Zack opened his mouth, speechless. After stuttering a few times, he replied back, "Very well. If you think you can handle it, you can come see it."

"Thank you. But, I don't think I needed your permission." Turning on his heel, Jack left Zack staring dumbly after him.

What the hell? Jack fumed, walking briskly to his car. He seemed so nice before, and then when I let him know I want the farm... he becomes a jerk? His eyes squinted in fury, Jack jammed the key into the ignition.

"Hey! Wait!" A large figure was running to him, his arms raised.

"Now what?" Jack groaned.

Zack's head appeared by his car window. Staring ahead, Jack acted oblivious to the standing man beside his car. That is, until Zack tapped annoyingly on the glass.

Jack rolled down the window, not caring if he showed anger and frustration. "What?!"

Zack looked down at his feet. "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry I gave you a hard time back there. I shouldn't judge someone by how they look, so I have no idea how you would do on the farm." He smiled sheepishly. "I usually don't apologize like this... This is kind of new for me."

Jack blinked.

"Well, I want you to know that I'll give you a shot, and I'll see you when you arrive in Mineral Town, ok? That is... if you do." An awkward silence followed after this sentence. "So... uh... good luck."

Jack's anger was slowly dripping away. "Thank you. I'll come sometime next week." With that, he started the car, and drove off.
