JOEY:

??????

I crack up at the mental image of him trying to cover the tent in front of his pants. Man, I hope he’s with his parents. That would be amazing.

JOEY:

Why are you at the mall? Reliving your high school days? Trying to pick up a high school chick?

NICK:

Fuck you. I did not pick up chicks at the mall in high school. I was getting blowies under the stadium bleachers like the other football players.

JOEY:

Classy. You’re a real class act.

NICK:

Like you weren’t doing the same thing in the ice rink!

Thinking back on those years, I can say that is one thing I never did. I never hooked up at the rink.

JOEY:

Nope, some of us didn’t have time for shenanigans. I was busy trying to keep my brother out of juvie. And the ER.

NICK:

You never fooled around in the bleachers? Or the locker room?

JOEY:

Nope.

NICK:

Well, we’re fixing that. Pronto.

I chuckle and shake my head.

JOEY:

The season is over.

NICK:

Look at all the fucks I don’t give. You’re not graduating without at least getting your dick sucked in that building. It can’t happen.

JOEY:

WTF is wrong with you?

NICK:

IDK but you seem to like whatever it is so that says more about you than it does about me.

I sigh and lean my head back against the seat.
