Pecan: You pissed at your dad or something?
Denny: I don’t trust him
Pecan: Why don’t you?
Denny: Duh. Because my mom trusted Dad and look how that turned out?
Zach: What aren’t you telling us?
Denny: Freya said Alec cheated on her.
Denny: I don’t trust cheaters.
Denny: Pecan, if you ever cheat on Hailey, I’ll cut off your leaking penis for her.
Pecan: DENNY!
Denny: What? At least Zach just fucks around. You made that girl your girlfriend. Either dump her before you fuck a puck bunny or face the consequences
Denny: Now, if you don’t turn that music down, Zach, I will pour bleach into your next load of laundry
Pecan: Holy shit, Z-man! TURN THE MUSIC DOWN. You know she means it!!
FIVE
TO-DO LIST
Read up on classes available at Oakwood. Maybe there’s one I can convince Dad to let me take?
Read something clever to remind myself that I’m not dumb. (Ask Callan Korhonen in philosophy. He looks smart.)
Ignore Zach until I forget again how pretty he is.
Remember not to text Mom back until she apologizes forbeing a bitch about the Pies
Arrange tutors. Me for philosophy and modern civilization. Sniff around for one for Pecan too. He’s flunking computer science AGAIN
