The Taylor's House
Clay, Lucas, and I all pull in a driveway after driving for half an hour, he lives a good ways away from school. We get out, he rips his shirt off, goes through his back door, which leads to his room, puts on a tanktop, changes from jeans to gym shorts, and yells for his mom. "Yes son?", says a small woman in her mid 30's, "This is Drake, the new kid I told you about.", Clay says, "Oh, the reason you beat the hell out of those guys? They were bullying him?", she asks, "Yes ma'am,", he replies, "with DJ and Tatsuya too. And he was in the last fight I was in as well, Friday.", "Gah kid, you oughta be in the MMA.", she giggles, then adds to her last statement, "You're gonna get yourself hurt.", "Well Mom I mean I kinda already have a broken nose. I've broken every single one of my fingers AT LEAST once, as well as some ribs. My ankle and my arm have been in casts before too.", "Just be careful.", she says. "I love you Mom, I'm gonna run around for a little bit.", Clay says as he goes back out, "Be back before 10.", his mom said from his room, "Yes ma'am.", Clay said as he started to back out, "What are you doing?", I ask him, "Making you number twenty-five.", I was confused by his statement, but acted like I understood anyways. "Alright, cool.", I said, "That there's Xavier's house, I would introduce you to one another if he wasn't at his aunts.", he says as he points out a small house with a German Shepherd outside tied to an oak tree, he and Xavier don't live far from one another. "Clay, what's your last name?", I ask him, out of curiosity, "Why? Who's got a hit out on me?", he says with a smile to let me know he's joking, "Just kidding man, it's Taylor.", "Oh okay, I was just curious.", I said with a nervous laugh. After driving for a while, he points at a very big house beside a gym, "If it's not obvious enough, that's Thor's house. He lives with his sister, just the two of them. Her name is Brydlynn, but everybody calls her Bryd. Let's stop for a visit, whaddaya say?"
