“Hey there, Sammy Boy”

I looked up at our team leader, Bennett

Bennett was like a second father to me He had been there when I lost my first tooth Wrecked my first car Fucked my first…

“Hey,” I said, viciously cutting off that original thought “What’s up?”

He looked atokay?”

I shrugged “I’ve been better”

In fact, I had been better

My throat was on fire, my eyes felt like they were about to pop out of my sockets thanks to the pressure headache behind therade fever

“You look like a pile of dog shit,” Bennett offered “Where’s your uncle?”

My uncle Foster also was one of the team leaders

“He’s not co my eyes as the headache pounded harder “He said he told you that”

“I was hoping that he wasn’t serious,” Bennett ad annoyed and amused all at once

I snorted “Apparently he doesn’t want to be on national television,” I said

“He thinks that I do?” he asked, sounding miffed

Neither did I But I hadn’t gotten the choice

Honestly, I thought both of those assholes should be here Icalendars They were the ones to tell us ere doing it We hadn’t even gotten the choice to say yes or no

“He also said that y’all played rock, paper, scissors,” I commented

Bennett sighed “Fuck”

I would’ve rolled my eyes, but I knew if I did, that would make my headache worse

So instead, I justaway in search of my locker

There I knew I had ibuprofen I also had Tylenol
