High School Never Ends: Bowling For Soup

"I got a full twelve hours of sleep everyday this past week and I still feel like slipping into a coma." I enter the Kent house.

"You and me both." Clark replies. "But then again, being in the same room as you makes me wish I was dead." He grins.

"Careful what you wish for, Kent. Because you never know when a pencil might enter your temple or if a pillow blocks your airway."

"I'm getting chills." He mocks.

"You better. I'm trained now, remember?"

"No, I don't." He shakes his head. "Guess you should be more interesting, then." He takes the toast from the toaster.

"Jon, Martha, your son is being verbally abusive to me." I take the toast from Clark and open the fridge.

"You wanna talk about verbal abuse?"

"Saying things that are true is not verbal abuse, Kent. You're just a narcissist." I grab the butter, making Martha and Jonathan chuckle.

"Mom, dad."

"Oh, no, did I make Clarkie mad?" I spread some butter on the toast.

"One, never call me that again, and two, you wish." Clark goes to take the toast.

I turn and place the knife in the sink. "Wish already came true. You're irritated. My job's done." I put the butter back into the fridge and take a bite of the piece of toast.

"I'm not irritated, I'm annoyed."

"Same difference."

"No, it's not."

"You still haven't used that dictionary yet? Explains a lot." I take out my ginger shot from my pocket.

"Tell me why I missed you again?"

"I can't read your mind." I down the ginger shot and throw the container in the garbage. "Open your mouth." I say and he does so before I place the small piece of toast left in his mouth. "I'll see you at school, Kent. Lord knows you need all the knowledge you can get. Bye, Martha. Bye, Jon." I walk towards the door.

"See you later, Brianna." Jonathan calls out and I hold up my hand while leaving.

"You know, socially divisive cliques and hall passes aside, this place really isn't all that bad." Chloe says as we pull into the parking lot.
