Benjamin stood still at the entrance, a combination of shock and shame evident on his face while he looked at his sister's angry expression. "I was just hanging out with some friends," he stuttered, trying to get a hold of himself.Claire's anger grew stronger as she listened to his flustered reply. "Are you hanging out with your friends?" Can you tell me the time? "Why do you have those costly accessories?" Approaching nearer, her tone filled with irritation.Benjamin squirmed uneasily, dodging Claire's piercing stare.
