#22 - Vern Tessio

A/N: (Y/B/N) - your brother's name

••••

When walking around Castle Rock during the summer time, everything seems peaceful. No noise or disturbances. It was too hot to do anything, but you decided to enjoy the peace and quiet and walk.

You passed by the Blue Point Diner, getting a 65 cent malted milkshake on the way home, and walked by the candy store, getting some PEZ for your brother.

As you reached home, you pass by the Tessio's house. They live across the street from you, and usually are very quiet.

As you walked by their home, you hear a loud thump.

You turn around and see someone coming out from underneath their porch.

It was Vern.

"Ow..." He mumbles, shaking his head and getting all the sand off of his clothes.

And then he sees you.

"Hey Vern."

"Hey, (Y/N)."

"What the heck were you doing underneath the porch?"

He looks back and smiles sheepishly. His face turns the shade of pink.

"Oh! Uh, I was looking for a jar of pennies that I buried underneath the porch. No luck though."

"Oh..."

You then notice the cherry flavored PEZ in your pocket.

(Y/B/N) doesn't even like PEZ anymore...

"Vern? Do you want some PEZ?"

His eyes light up like a little kids on Christmas.

"Sure!"

You toss him the package of PEZ, and turn around to go home.

"Wait, (Y/N)!"

"What?"

He smiles at you, holding the PEZ in one hand, and a shovel in the other.

"Thanks."

You smile back at him.

"Anytime."
