The depressed little twin brother

Chapter Eight

I am high while walking through the halls with sunglasses on

Then I went over to Ginny, Press, Brodie, Jordan, hunter, and Abby

Hey. I said

Hey, did you get the same text from dad? She asked

Uh, I don't know, I smoked a lot before school started and I haven't looked at my phone. I said while taking my sun glasses off

Then Ginny got another text

Oh my god. He's here. Ginny said

Oh, shit, hide me. I said and I laid on the ground behind Abby

Why? Abby asked

I'm high. I said

After a few minutes I saw my dad above me

Hey, dad. I said

Hey, Nix, let's go for a ride. He said

Okay, let me go get my keys and helmet. I said and he helped me up

Meet me and your sister outside. He said

Okay. I said

Skip

We are inside the house in the living room and I am on my phone and I am eating a big bag of barbecue lays while my feet are on the table

These are Nepalese bone dice. Dad said and gave them to Austin

Cool! Austin said

Sherpa Ang Tharkay's memoir. One of the most famous Mount Everest guides. Riveting read. Dad said and gave it to Ginny

Some of the words are underlined. Is it a code? Ginny asked

No. Dad said

So, dad, I'm in AP English, and we're doing this essay contest thing, uh, about where we feel we most belong, and I'm gonna write mine on Wellsbury. Ginny said

Boring. I said and she hit my leg

You like it here then? Zion asked

I don't. I said

And I stabbed someone in the hand! Austin said

Nice one. I said and I fist bumped him

Ok... Dad said

Can we do a blanket fort tonight? Austin asked

Mom's dating someone. Ginny said

What did you expect our mother dresses and thinks like a teenage whore. I said

Phoenix. Dad said

Sorry, not sorry. I'm going to smoke. I said and I got up and I went upstairs

I started smoking and then I saw Abby at the window

I let her in

She kissed me and I kissed back

I smoked a little more then put the blunt out

I kissed her again and then I laid her on the bed

We kept kissing while I was on top of her

Then we pulled away when the door opened

Nix. I heard my dad say

I rolled off of Abby and I laid next to her

Yeah? I asked

I got a present for you. He said

Okay. I said

I got you a bunch of colored pencils from China and there are a lot in here I think would look great with your bird pictures. He said and handed them to me
