Jolene:
Think your mom will cry?
Adam:
Oh yeah. And Jeremy and I will get in a fight, my grandfather will yell at us in Dutch, and my grandmother will forget that Greg is dead and ask about him every few minutes. My mom will excuse herself to cry in the bathroom and then spend the entire two-hour drive home apologizing for ruining the day for us. Or I don’t know, maybe it’ll be different than last year.
Jolene:
You want one of my eye-stabbing forks?
Adam:
Thanks, but I’m good.
Jolene:
Liar. That is why I have a plan for one awesome day before the suckfest begins. So are you in or out?
Adam:
Tell me exactly what your plan is, oh brilliant one.
Jolene:
First, I totally approve of that nickname. Second, have you seen Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? And third, do you know of a parade nearby?
Adam:
Jolene.
Jolene:
This is where you point out that we have no cars and can’t drive.
Adam:
Also we have school.
Jolene:
All of those things are true, but you forgot one very important thing.
Adam:
I’m afraid to ask.
Jolene:
My friend has a loser boyfriend that she’d do anything to see, including put a temporary pause on the fight we’re having and have him drive to pick you up if I provide an alibi later for her parents. Jazz hands!
Adam:
You’re serious.
Jolene:
We’ll pick you up outside your school in 20 minutes. Also, where is your school?
