"Arlo is such a shitbag!" I exclaim
"Cam" Mom says
"No, she's right. That kid is a shitbag" Dad says
"Yep!" I agree
"Shitbag or not—it just does feel gross to say that out loud" She says
"I find it invigorating. Shitbag" Dad says
"We have to handle this calmly" She says
"Okay, well I'm gonna calmly go over to his house and bash his pea head in with a shovel" I say
"Well, this much is true...somebody has to kill that kid. Just a fact" He says
"I know your just being facetious, but it's not helping" She says
"Could you all be quiet?" We look at him, "I'm trying to hear her first peeps" Sam says
[Next Night]
I'm walking down the steps, texting Jeremy but getting no response. Then there's a knock on the door. I open the door to reveal Izzie with tears in her eyes, "Hey" She says
"Hi" I say before I pull her into a hug
We are sitting on the couch as she explains everything, "He's such a dick! He was yelling and throwing things and I was like, dude, leave! But whatever. I'm not scared of that asshole" She says
"What about the kids?" I ask
"I took them to my grandma's. But she doesn't have a lot os room, so..." She says
"Oh, you're staying here" I tell her
"Okay. Thank you" She says
Then the door opens and Sam walks in, "Sam, this is Izzie. Izzie, this is Sam" I say
Izzie waves, "No time. I'm busy" He says and runs upstairs
"Seems like he likes you" I tell her
We head upstairs and walk into his room, "What are you doing?" I ask
"I'm packing my things" He says
"Why? You don't go places" I say
"I'm going to sleep over at Zahid's to leave how to do it, for when I go to the senior lock in, and college, and eventually Bonetown" He says
"You know, that actually sound like a not terrible idea" I say
"I thought so too. I think I have everything. Edison. Should I bring Edison?" He asks
"No, leave the turtle" I say
"Tortoise" Izzie and Sam say
"Nerds" I say causing Izzie to roll her eyes
"But...I need Edison. What if I can't sleep without the sounds of his little feet on the glass, or the smell of his food wafting through the tank vent? Maybe this is a bad read. Maybe I shouldn't go" He says
"Well, Sam—" I start
"Why don't you leave Edison here, where he's comfortable? But bring his container of food, so that way if you miss him or you feel nervous you can just smell it" Izzie suggests
"Olfactory senses are the greatest memory stimulant of all the senses. That's not a bad idea. Your name's Izzie?" Sam says
"Yeah" She says
"Hmm. Well, that's everything. You'll be okay without me?" Sam asks
"Yes, I'm sure I'll manage" He walks past us, "Bye. I'm glad you like Sam" I tell her
"What's not to like? He's cool" She starts walking, "Is this your room?" She asks as I watch her
[Living Room]
Izzie and I made a fort in the living room while I'm reading her a scary story with a flashlight, "And this was so exquisitely stupid, he didn't dare tell anyone that while he was feeling for the light switch, some horrible, clawed paw would settle lightly over his wrist—" I read
"Okay, stop. I can't do it. No, keep reading" She says
I close the book, "No, I'm stopping. It's too scary" I say
We both start laughing as I turn the flashlight off, "Thank you for building this ridiculous fort, and reading me scary books just to keep my mind off of what's going on" She says
"Yeah. We can stay in here forever if you want. We can pee in the can, do college classes online. We can..." I ramble
"Oh, yeah?" She asks
"...you know, get old here and...get a couple cats" I say
She chuckles, "Newton?" She asks
"Yeah" I say
"This might sound lame, but...you're, like, my new favorite person" She says
"Really?" I ask
"Yeah" She chuckles, "Is that tragic since we just met a little while ago?" She asks
"No" I glance at her, "You're my new favorite person, too. But don't tell Sharice cause she will kill you" I say
"Got it" She says before we both start laughing
[Later On]
We are doing a handshake in the fort, "Yeah" Izzie says as we smile
Then there's knocking at the door, "It's Pennywise" I whisper
"No" We chuckle, "I forgot I texted Nate" She syas
"No" I say
"Yeah, I know, I'm sorry" She says
"He's going to ruin the girl time" I say
"Let's just pretend we're not here" She says
"We're not home" I say
"Open the door, you dummies" He says
We chuckle, "He's gonna make so much fun of us for making this fort. Oh, my god" She says
"Well, boys ruin everything" I say
"Okay, what do we do?" She asks
"Invite him in, I guess" I say
"We can watch a movie" She says
"You'll fall asleep" I say
"No, I won't" She says and I give her a look
[Later On]
We are on the couch, and shockingly Izzie fell asleep. Nate and I are eating popcorn, "Every time. So, how are things with the boyfriend?" Nate asks
"The boyfriend? You know his name" I say
"I'm sorry. How are things with Jermey?" He asks
"Why are you saying it like it's a fake name, weirdo?" I ask
He chuckles, "I don't know, cause I'm suspicious of him cause I'm protective of you" He says
"That's nice. And unnecessary. And sort of sexist" I say
"Thank you" He says
"But yeah, I don't know. Things are weird" I say
"Well, we're here, if you need someone to talk to. Or, I'm here. Clearly, this one can't make it past nine thirty" He says causing me to laugh
"You guys are awesome. Thank you for being my first friend at Clayton" He looks at me and leans in, the minute his lips touch my I pull back, "What are you—" We stand up, "What are you doing?" I ask confused
"Come on, there's something between us" He whispers
"Friendship! You're my friend's boyfriend" I whisper
"I know, but you can't blame me for being a little confused" He whispers
"Let me clear this up for you. This is never going to happen. Now, leave. Go" I tell him
"Fine, make it weird" He says and walks out
[Later On]
Izzie and I are laying in bed, she's asleep while I'm wide awake thinking about what the hell happened tonight.
