Amir doesn't want Hassan to join the at the lake because he wants his father to himself. He's also jealous of the way Baba treats Hassan.

He asked me to fetch Hassan too, but I lied and told him Hassan had the runs. I wanted Baba all to myself. And besides, one time at Ghargha Lake, Hassan and I were
skimming stones and Hassan made his stone skip eight times. The most I managed was five. Baba was there, watching, and he patted Hassan on the back.
