I'm trouble.

Trevor's pov

'I'm trouble."

"Really."

What's up with this guy? He's got this smug look on his face.

'(Clears throat.) Oh boy!' 

'What?'

'Nothing.'

"You know what? I've realized that you tend to zone out a lot like you are talking to someone else in your head."

"Maybe I am."

What the hell was that?

'Its called vibing.'

"So what brought you to Spring valley? This is a small town and I kinda know all the guys here."

Did he just wink at me?

'Oh yes he did.'

'Oh just shut your mouth hole.'

"I wanted to start freshman year in a new town."

"Why? What's up with your old town?"

"Quite a lot."

"Example?"

"For starters, my dad's an asshole."

'that's kinda his thing.'

"I feel you man. I mean some dads can't just let you be. My dad always reminds me of all the responsibilities that await me and its stressful. I'm in college for heavens sake!"

'See. I told you that's what the kids say these days.'

"Tell me about it. My dad can't just stop telling me of how much I need to prioritize my duties."

We both laugh and it feels great.

"I'm sorry but I have to go."

"Can you chip in your tracker."

"My what?"

"Your phone number."

"Oh. I don't have a phone."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah."

"Why don't you have a phone?"

"Daddy issues."

"Um,,,okay."

"Bye."

"See yah."

'We need to get you a phone."

'What for?'

'So that you can have a life.'

'Just say that you want some drama.'

'Yeeees. This life is so boring. Sometimes I wish I could just...'

'Just what?'

'Never mind. Its not like it can happen anyway.'

'Yeah. You're stuck with me old man.'

'Oh no you didn't.'

'But I just did.'

**In his room**

'I was just about to...'

"Dad?"

Nothing.

"I know you're here. I can feel you."

"You don't say."

"Why are you here?"

"Can a father just visit his so coz he misses him?"

"Nice try."

"Oh well...I'll get to the point. I see you ha d quite an experience on your first day of school huh?"

"What about it."

"You clearly know what I wanna talk about."

"I've already said that I can't do it!"

"Now now child. Its who you are. You are my son damn it! What do you expect? A life full of roses and sunsets for you to watch?"

"No. But I want you and Fiz here to stop treating me like I'm just a weapon of destruction."

"Oh but you are."

"Mmm? what was that?"

"Nothing."

I swear i heard him mumble something.
