Chapter 32

THREE HOURS LATER

A RESTAURANT

"Uh, can you put this on Cameron, Ward? W A R D?" Rafe asks the worker. The Kooks were all leaving a restaurant for lunch, even if they just had brunch a few hours earlier, they were starving.

"Thank you, you're the best." Rafe says to the worker.

"Hey bro, you think you-know-who, they're scronking yet?" Kelce asks.

"Shut yo-" Topper yells out, annoyed and moody. He was clearly upset but Rafe and Kelce were dying of laughter.

"And you called me the moody one?" Violet counters, laughing. Kelce started clapping, mocking the sounds and teasing Topper.

"What's that sound? What's that? They're making this sound." Kelce says, putting his hands together and clapping.

"You think I wanna hear this right now?" Topper asks, grouchy.

"Oh c'mon Top! Take a joke." Violet laughs, crossing her arms.

"C'mon man." Rafe says, thinking it was just a harmless joke.

"I'm tryna get my mind off things. You think I wanna hear this now. Rafe?" Topper says, visibly upset.

"Topper? We should call you Downer instead." Violet says, taking a sip of her leftover milkshake.

"Damn, she got you." Kelce says, trying to hold back a laugh. But Rafe was already laughing.

"Calm down alright, we're just tryna make you feel better." Kelce says.

"That's not funny! How is that funny to you?!" Topper whines.

"Damn she really did a number on you." Violet says.

"This joke's on her. Cause look who she's with.." Rafe says.

"Don't talk about my brother like that." Violet defends.

"I'm your brother too, did you forget about that?" Topper snaps back.

"I might've gotten a little amnesia since you THREW ME OFF THE HAWK'S NEST!" Violet yells.

"...and after that she's-" Rafe was cut off by a car pulling up to the driveway of the restaurant, so loud that it left skid marks on the parking lot.
