chapter 13

moose: okay, so I had a rough day today. can we just talk about that real quick?

trickster: of course. what's up?

moose is typing...

moose: okay. I'm just gonna start from the beginning. 

moose: this morning, my dad got really angry at me and Dean. he didn't get so angry that he started hitting us, no. but he started yelling at us and verbally abusing us. mostly me. when Dean tried to defend me, dad started yelling at him instead.

moose: after he was done yelling at us, he forced us off to school. 

trickster: moose, that's terrible. 

moose: yeah. when we got to school, we were late by about thirty minutes. our dad hadn't cared enough to just send a small call saying we'd be late. so of course, with my strict first-hour teacher, I got detention. I don't know about dean. but here I am, in detention, because of my stupid father.

trickster: man, I'm really sorry about that. I actually have detention tomorrow. I messed with Mrs. Johnson too much. 

moose: Oof. been there, done that. Thanks for letting me rant a little bit. 

trickster: yeah, no problem.
