Splinter Way

Chapter 21

Tommy knew exactly where they would be. He ran around the school, jumped a fence, and finally spotted the gang, flicking a lighter near the garbage truck they had spray painted.

"Look who it is. Little Tommy." Sapnap teased. He began laughing as if it was the funniest thing in the world.

"Guys, I'm here to redeem myself, okay?" Tom said, determined to earn the groups trust back.

"Really? Tom Tom this your not a gift card. You can't redeem yourself." George edged, spitting on the ground.

"I beg to differ," Dream started, emerging from the shadows in his mask. "You see that guys shop over there? Yeah, that one? Steal a six pack, pussy. Do it. Do it now." Dream ushered, towering over Tom.

"Alright fine ugh- Miller right?" Tommy said as he began trailing off to the store.

"I don't give a shit." Replied Dream, awaiting Tommy's arrival as he laid in the corner. Tommy stepped the store, arriving shaking and nervous. He made the cashier wasn't looking, and grabbed a six pack of Miller's from the middle.

"Son of a bitch!" Screamed the owner in the front. Tom began running on his feet, as fast as they could carry him. He felt like he was flying as he ran to the alleyway the teens resided. He jumped the gate and fell to the ground with the miller. They all began cheering, as Tommy realized what he'd done. They all began ripping open the beers, Tommy taking one himself as he began chuckling.

"Looks like you weren't a pussy." Dream laughed, taking another sip of beer. Tom laughed again, feeling the soft cooling sensation the beer gave as its bittersweet taste flowed in his mouth. It felt so wrong yet so good.

"Damn Tom your a lifesaver." George agreed, slamming his beer and crushing it as he finished.

"Your the man Tom." Ashley also finished, but wa sit worth it?
