"Ethan!"
"Travis?"
"Have you started reading?"
"What, a kamasutra book?"
"Fuck off, I'm talking about Sherlock Holmes."
"Nope."
Ethan sat up on the counter and faced away from Travis.
"Are you liking it, Travis?"
"Absolutely not. Too hard to read."
"The cover is pretty."
"I know! Metallic pages make me want to scream."
"Out? In pleasure?"
Ethan felt a light slap hit the back of his head.
"What did I do to deserve that? I don't do anything to you, do I?"
"Make me want to moan, but that's not the p—"
"Travis!"
Ethan swung over the counter and hit Travis in the back of the head.
"Maybe you need to bleach your brain."
"How about we get a bleach sundae or some shit? I'll share."
"Are you hinting at a suicide pact?"
"Hell naw. Life is fucking dope."
Ethan took Travis's lanyard off of his neck and threw it to Ned (the night shift worker). Ned didn't catch the pass and let the keys crash to the floor.
"Let's get out of here before your bo—"
"Yeah, I'm going."
The boys scurried out of the counter and sped up to the doors.
"Travis, for every time you say 'fucking dope'–"
"You'll hug me because I'm becoming hip with the kids."
Ethan rolled his eyes and opened the door for Travis.
"You're younger than me, you dumbass."

I didn't really like how this was written ngl
Two things:
1. I convinced my mom to let me get Netflix and tomorrow (today I guess??? I'm writing this chapter at ten fifteen) I'm going to binge watch Stranger Things and Supernatural because I've already watched all of Sherlock
2. Shoutout to @my friend Nate because I asked a bunch of people what could fill in the blank and here's what he said
"I'm a Big Mac, make you wanna eat that like MACARONI AND CHEESUS"
(my school is catholic and I)
Shoutout to anyone who reads the author's notes because you care about the stupid shit I say and yes hello hi thank you friend
QOTD: is your city full of those guys in creepy clown masks that are like going around and killing people and breaking into schools and shit???
AOTD: lmao they're like all around my city but I do live in my state's capital (I'm American if you haven't been able to tell by how i spell stuff) and some crazy shit goes on here
Have a great day y'all ;)
