Excerpt
“I
thought we would be square by now, Scott.” He said as he wrapped
an arm around Scottie. He started slowly patting down his jacket
looking for scraps of anything he could take. “Nothing, man, not a
thing. That’s too bad.”
“Here,
I was holding this for him,” I handed him the few dollars I had on
me. “That’s all, honest.” The second year senior grabbed the
crumbled wad and looked me over.
“Alright,
this is start.” He butted Scottie in the shoulder, nearly knocking
him over. “I’ll see you later.” We heard the click of a
lighter as he disappeared around the corner, not even bothering to
bypass the dogs.
“I’ll
get you the money, Archie,” Scottie said as he straightened himself
up and we ducked around the corner. “We’ll get burgers sometime
soon, my treat.”
“Yeah,”
I put my hands in my then empty pockets. “So what’s with that
man? You owe some goon money?”
“It’s
complicated. I have it under control, Archie. I just need some extra
time. You really saved my ass, man. Thanks.”
We
went back inside and snuck in the free lunch line. I saw that grey
lump of macaroni and did my best not to think about those buttery
grilled unions and that patty covered in real melted cheese. The
smell of grill seasoning was in my brain and I didn’t want to let
it go because what was in front of me was the same thing I’d had
all week, leftover from the year before probably.
I
told Scottie everything was fine but I was still pretty annoyed.
What was he doing worrying about money anyway? He’s all set. In
two years he’ll be living in the city and Panzer and everything
about this place will be nothing but a memory, including me.
