The Graduating Class of '09 (Class of '09 (Re-Up) x Male Reader)

Bonus Chapter 10 - 'Daddy Issues'

- Continuation from Chapter 8's plotline.. -

The group lounged around Nicole's home, the air thick with the lingering scent of wine and the faint traces of burnt cigarettes. Despite the haze, Nicole and Jecka were deep in conversation, their laughter and familiar banter filling the room as naturally as it always had. It was just like any other time, their voices weaving through the comfortable chaos around them. (Y/N) was simply watching their conversation, eyes drooping on the verge of sleepiness.

Nicole: "I don't know, you ever feel like the girl from Nightmare before Christmas?"

Jecka: "No, I don't watch dumb shit for ugly girls who can only be pretty by relying on the alternative."

(Y/N): "Nightmare before Christmas is still a good movie."

Nicole: "Damn, that kinda ruins my depression tangent."

Jecka: "Like you think I'd watch a cartoon at the age of nine."

Nicole: "What about Family Guy?"

Jecka: "That's not a cartoon, it's for adults."

Nicole: "Are you sure?"

Jecka: "Why would it reference the 80s so much if it wasn't for adults??"

Nicole: "Yeah, I guess Jack Skellington never talks about MTV or why he hates minorities."

Jecka: "They don't talk about that on Family Guy."

Nicole: "Talk about what?"

Jecka: "MTV."

(Y/N): "Maybe no one watches MTV in the Family Guy universe."

Their conversation was interrupted when Nicole's twenty-six year old brother walked through the front door. He was in a foul mood, sneering at his younger sister.

Gamer Brother: "God I can never have the house to myself."

Nicole: "What are you so fat now that you fill all the rooms up?"

Gamer Brother: "No! I just like peace and quiet when mackin' on these online bitches!"

Nicole: "Oh my god is our house gonna end up on Dateline again?"

Jecka: "Dateline? What do you like teenage girls or something?" She directed the question to Nicole's brother who shuffled awkwardly.

Gamer Brother: "Uh.. When you say 'teenage', how old are we talking here?"

Jecka: "That was way more words than 'no.'

Gamer Brother: "Why is everyone a god damn ageist!?"

Nicole: "Dude nobody cares, just go in your basement and prey on children."

Gamer Brother: "Fine, dumb bitch.. And they're not children, they're overdeveloped middle schoolers." He walked past her and skulked into the shadowy-depths of the basement.

(Y/N): "I think your brother should be arrested and placed in solitary confinement."

Nicole: "Couldn't agree more."

Jecka: "That's.. That's swell."

Nicole: "Oh you know what would actually cure my depression? Marilyn Manson's gonna be in town."

(Y/N): "Who the fuck is Maryland Mansion? And why does he have a Mansion in Marilyn?"

Nicole: "Hahaha, very funny. Fucking hop out my second-story window and let your brain splatter on my front lawn."

(Y/N): "Fine, sorry. I was kidding."

Jecka: "At MCI?"

Nicole: "Next Friday."
