“When?” I asked, but kind of knew
the answer.
“Right after I moved in.”
“Was that when we had that big
fight?”
“You remember the fight, but do
you remember what we fought about?”
“That stupid chair, that's still
here by the way. You wanted me to get
rid of it, and I won.”
“But, it's not in the living room
anymore, is it? So, I won too,” and
then she stuck her tongue out at me.
Jeez, how can you stay mad at
someone like that? I know I can’t, and
then she kissed me.
“I looked everybody up, including
you, but I already knew most of it from
Barry, except for Scratches. That was a
big surprise.”
“I know. You wanted to shoot me,
remember?” I asked, and before she
could answer, added, “I also looked you
up.”
“You bastard,” she said, hitting
me with one pillow, and then the other.
I pretended to go flying across
the room, slammed into the wall, and
slumped to the floor unconscious, all
in slow motion.
It almost made her smile.
“Why didn't you tell me that you
knew about my secret friends?” I asked
and got up off the floor.
“The same reason you didn't tell
me,” she said, and then threatened me
with another whack-attack, before con-
tinuing, “I was also afraid you’d want
me to leave.”
I took a step back, “But, how’d
you know I called them my secret
friends? I don't ever remember saying
that to you.”
“I heard you on the phone a couple
times,” she said while putting the
pillows back.
“You can sit back down,” she said
and fluffed them up.
“Hmm,” I mumbled, and while
watching her hands, sat back down.
“Back in the very beginning, it
was only me, Pee Wee, Mouse, and Rico,
a friend of theirs.
“Darryl didn't join us until the
next year. The same year I met you.
“This is Rhonda’s first year.
She’s my arch-enemy, by the way, but
don’t ever tell her that. It’s a
personal fantasy I’ve got going in my
head, and she doesn’t know a thing
about it. It’s nothing bad. It’s just
my way of dealing with her crazy
teenage crap.”
