Life in Dillon

Chapter 2

ok so just before some of your are confused the book will be alternating POV in each chapter just to see from both characters perspective!

"Tim" I hear Billy say faintly as he throws a pillow on my face waking me up, "what" I groan "you slept in again, get up and get your ass to school" he says. I look up and he's hovering over me with only his striped underwear and a toothbrush in his mouth "can you get your dick away from my face first?" I tell him, he scoffs and walks towards the kitchen. As I try getting up I feel a sharp pain in my head, hangover, shit. "Billy do we have any aspirin left?" I groan "what?" he yells through the house, this causes a ring to hit my ears and the pain gets stronger "stop damn yelling" I tell him, he comes back into the living room where I was still in his underwear but now looks pissed "what do you want, Tim?" "aspirin and for you to put some pants on" I tell him "aspirin is in the cupboard and I can be naked if I wanted since it's my damn house" he says and I roll my eyes.

I get up from the couch and kick away some beer cans on the ground as I make my way to the kitchen. I open the cupboard that he was referring to and I see the advil, I down it with water and head to the bathroom, I look at myself and I see my bloodshot eyes and tired bags under them, there is no way in hell I'm going to school today. I walk towards my room and crash on my own bed I hear footsteps thud through the hallway shortly and Billy appears in my doorframe. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" he says trying to parent me "recovering" I tell him "Tim, if you're not going to show up to school at least go to practice, there's a new coach and you need to make an impression" he says talking about Coach Taylor "I already know Coach Taylor and he knows me, he was one of the defense coaches last year so I don't actually need to make 'an impression'" I say mocking him. "Tim you're going, end of discussion" he says continuing to parent me "stop doing that, Billy" "stop what?" he says acting oblivious from his actions "stop parenting me, it's not working" I tell him not even making eye contact. "I'm not parenting you, Tim, I'm telling you to go to school because that's the most I ask from you when you're living in my house" he says then walking out of my room.

I groan getting up from my bed, I walk over to my closet and take out a random pair of jeans and a grey panther football shirt. I'm not gonna lie I feel like I wore this two days ago but I don't give a rats ass. Right after changing I put on my shoes, grab my keys and head out the door.

I finally get to Dillon High and I decide to park my truck in the teacher's parking lot because it was closer. I don't know what I was doing here but honestly it's not like I had nothing better to do. "Rigg" I hear a voice say from behind me as I make my way out of my truck, it was Brian "Smash" Williams. I never liked the kid, I mean he wants people to call him Smash for god's sake. "Two zero" I said referring to his football number, he had this lanky kid next to him, must be a freshmen, "I see you actually want to go to school today" he teases and I show him no expression that I was amused by his humour. "Yeah because why the hell not?" I tell him while I grab my varsity jacket from the back of my truck "nice jacket there, Rigg, does that mean you're actually coming out today?" he teases again "what do you want, Smash" I snap at him so he can cut out the remarks. "Coach gave me an assignment, this is J.D." he says referring to the lanky kid next to him, J.D.? that's his name? "J.D. is your name?" I tell him and I can tell I made him uncomfortable "well it's John Doyle McCoy but just to make it shorter and easier for people" he explains "so who is John Doyle McCoy" "he's the best quarterback in the middle league in Texas, Rigg, he's a freshman at Dillon and coach wanted me to show him around and introduce him to the guys from the team" Smash says answering me. "I'm Tim" I tell him with a nod and he nods back at me "Tim plays our starting fullback" Smash informs J.D. "I gotta go do something else, I'll see you to at practice" I tell them as I start to walk away "Rigg your truck's not even parked in the right lot" Smash says yelling for me and I don't turn around and wave him off.
