Robbers // Matt Healy

Chapter 4 // Drag

I had placed the rolled up paper between my lips and breathed in the substance. My eyes closed and I felt the chemicals kick into my body. I felt free, loose and free.

Matty looked over at me, laying on the bonnet of his car. He smiled and began to laugh, and I began to laugh too.

So we just laid there, both laughing.

Both smiling.

And being caught in our own world.

I had returned to my campus at the high school I had been living in for the last four years and reached my room, I placed my bag down on the bed and lazily flopped down on it.

Zoe my roommate had walked out and looked over at me.

"Jay, where did you go? You can't leave school grounds like that. Miss Hampton threw a fit" She spoke.

I slightly sat up and looked at her.

She gave me a shrug and explained that Miss Hampton said this was my 'first warning'.

I was so close to fully graduating.

Fuck it.
