⌜ chapter twenty-one ⌟
"Matthews." Turner gets his attention as he and Mr. Williams walk up behind Eric in the school hallway by his locker. "The teachers got together, and, well... We have a few things for you."
"Aw, thanks, guys. Graduation gift?" He asks as Letty walks over to them.
"Confiscation gift." Williams corrects. "You get your stuff back, like we promised." He says as he pulls something out of the box that Turner's holding and hands it to him.
"Hey! My giant underpants!" Eric chuckles as he unfolds them. "These always got a laugh."
"You could fit two of you in those." Letty says as she pulls on one side of the elastic.
"Or the two of us." He wraps his arms around her. "You wanna be stuck to me?"
"I usually am anyway." The brunette shakes her head when he starts laughing.
"And my personal favorite — the Feeny puppet." Turner says as he reaches into the box.
"Aw, little George." Eric takes it from him, and Letty bites back a laugh as he puts it on his hand.
"We'll leave you three alone." He says, and they walk away from the teenagers.
"Detention, Mr. Matthews." Eric says, waving the puppet around, and Letty laughs as he then holds it in front of her. "Detention, Miss Black."
"What is with you and dummies?" The brunette questions. "The Feeny puppet, the life-size Cory you tried to hide by burying it in Feeny's backyard."
"I have to find inventive ways to keep you entertained." He muses, and she narrows her dark eyes, but he can see amusement as she shakes her head at him.
"What are you doing with this ridiculous thing?" Mr. Feeny questions as he stops beside them, looking at the puppet that Eric has on his hand.
"It's just a dummy."
"I'm not talking to you." He tells him, and Letty puts her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing at their exchange.
Eric then drops the puppet into the box that he's been putting his things in as he cleans out his locker. "You're gonna miss me, aren't you, Mr. Feeny?" He asks.
"Am I?" Feeny asks. "Have you heard from any more colleges?"
"Uh, yeah. Actually, today I got turned down by B.U."
