TW ❗️❗️ mention of ED

      We were all back in our seats apart from Bender who was sitting to the left of me, when carl opened the door whistling as he wheeled his trolly in and up the small ramp.

       He went into the front office and trapped the trash can before turning and making his way back out "Brian how you doing?" I didnt see Brian's reaction but I heard benders

      "Your dad work here?" He asked as carl smiled and made his way back into the office. When he came back out bender looked up to him a smile on his face "carl?"

     "What?" Carl asked as he made his way back over to the trolly

"Can I ask you a question?"

     "Sure" the song changed as bender tried to find the words

      "How does one become a janitor?" Carl smirked as he looked at bender

"You want to be a janitor?"

     "No. I just want to know how one becomes a janitor because Andrew here is very interested in pursuing a career in the custodial arts" I looked to Andrew seeing him Clench his jaw

     "Oh really?" Carl asks as bender smirked at Andrew "you guys think I'm just some untouchable peasant, serf, peon, you know? Maybe so. But following a broom around after shitheads like you for the last eight years, ive learned a couple things" I leaned forward in my seat with my hands clasped on the table

      "I look through you letters. I look through your lockers." He looked at bender before looking between Andrew and I "I listen to your conversations" he smirks and Andrew and I shot glances at each other "you dont know that, but I do. I am the eyes and ears of this institution my friends. I know where you are now and I know where you'll be in the future" Andy and I shared a look

       "Twatlips, you" he said pointing to bender "you get 10 years max. That's right" Carl chuckles as he looks at him "drugs, run down trailer in west Texas. Your whore bitch wife takes the kid splits. You shoot a fatal dose" he said motioning to his arm "game over. Dogs eat your carcass before the cops arrive. They don't even know who you are. Probable maybe not, possible I think so" he finished as I looked to bender with my mouth agape a bit. Bender just had a smile on his face

    "Little miss preppy" he said making me look up at him "elementary school teacher. Four kids. Live in a pretty nice house right here in town. The mom that every kid wants. Married at 27, to a guy you met on your scholarship. Everything perfect except for the fact that your husband cheats on you every weekend because you don't put out anymore." Andrew looked at me as I looked down at the table.

       "Mr wizard" he said making Brian look up "yeah lots of material success. corporate position. Big bucks. Black jag. Big jag" he said motioning with his hand before hitting his chest three times "three fucking heart attacks before your 38-39" he made the motion of going down before a making a bomb noise

       "Ms sensitive" he said now to Allison "Poet. Pretty fucking good. Nobody gives a shit. You have three kids. Then you get married. Then you get a nice wood panelled station wagon and you're the hit of the carpool believe me."

      "Huh" Carl said making me look up at him "muscle butt" bender let out a chuckle beside me making me look back down "district sales manager of a golf club manufacturer" he made the motion of golfing "here's Andy. 225 a year. Shitty little compact car and that stewardess you married. Boy becomes a box car. I mean huge" Andy shifts uncomfortably in his seat "but don't worry. You still come back to town every once in a while and hook up with the one that got away" he said pointing at me.
