 ??????
 
 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.
