At the park

Claire's POV

I'm at the park, smoking with my friend. I'm supposed to be at lunch, at school, right now. But why would I stay at school, when I could smoke in the park with my friend? Well, one of my friends. Jay's still at school. He said something about a Math test that he couldn't miss. He said he'd cover for me if anybody asked about where I was, though.

Krissy: Well you're never in class anyway. So who's really gonna know?

Claire: I talked to Zoe, earlier. But I take like one class with her. And by the time that class comes, it'll be almost time to go home anyway.

Krissy: Jay won't say anything?

Claire: Have you met him? Jay's not a snitch. I mean, maybe if it benefited him in some way. But snitching on us wouldn't do anything for him. So we're good.

Krissy: And you're sure that Sam and Dean don't drive on this side of town? Like, you're absolutely positive?

I'm not even sure why WE drove to this side of town. It's scary here. But like, this is the only part of town that the guys won't drive on. So this is the only part of town that we can be absolutely positive that nobody's gonna find us.

Claire: They wouldn't drive down here. Not unless somebody's life depended on it.

Krissy: You said they'd been tracking your phone.

Claire: Yeah. Sam put a weird tracking app on my phone, but I found it and deleted it. He really thought I wouldn't delete that shit.

Krissy: He tried that with me, but I threatened to shoot him.

Claire: I can't threaten anything anymore. Now that they've started "disciplining" me and Jay, it's hard to threaten anything without getting spanked.

Krissy: So they were serious about that?

Claire: Yeah. Especially Dean. They've got this thing about "disrespect" and "attitude". Sam's kind of a pushover, but Dean doesn't let anything slide.

Krissy: I know. That's why he texts me every five minutes, asking if I'm at school. How does he expect me to be in school and learn, while he's texting me? If I answer, he's gonna ask me why I'm not paying attention in class. If I don't answer, he's gonna be mad that I didn't answer his text.

Claire: Sometimes I forget that you've known them longer. What's that like?

Krissy: It's like having two older brothers that you don't live with, but somehow, they find a way to be in your business and worry about what you're doing. They care about you, but they get pissy when you do something that they don't like. Especially Dean. He's all "If you're gonna do this thing, you have to run it by me, first." Sam's more "I want you to be a teenager, and do what you think is fun, and express yourself, but I also wanna keep you out of prison". They both care, they just show it differently. One's really strict, and the other one's chill as long as you don't piss him off.
