Pandora
Is your frat thing going to run long?
I’m so fucking bored.
And the newest text.
Pandora
Tell River to send me a dickpic.
I laugh about it, and text back
Blaze
only if you share it with me.
My eyes meet River’s.
I raise my beer to him, and River raises a bottle too.
He’d held his own really well.
I think I can see why Pandora keeps him around.
27
RIVER
The second round of burgers isn’t burnt, and Franklin hands me mine as he sits down next to me by the firepit. He’s got a big bruise on his jaw, but otherwise it looks like our attackers went easy on him.
Right as I’m about to take a bite, my phone dings with a new text.
I sigh and set the burger down to look at it.
Blaze
Pandora says she wants a dickpic from you.
I’d send her one of mine, but she’d instantly know it was too big to be you
River
Why is she soliciting dick pics of me from you?
This is Pandora we’re talking about, though.
River
Nevermind. Don’t answer that.
I push my phone into my pocket, glancing at Franklin. “I’m sorry if I embarrassed you earlier,” I tell him. “I was trying to help.”
Not very well, but hopefully everyone is so distracted by the attack that they don’t even remember the awkward conversation we’d been having about Franklin and his girlfriend.
“It’s okay,” Franklin says quietly. “I’m almost glad that… I mean, it’s fine.”
Glad that we were attacked? Everybody’s heated up about who those masked fuckers were, and how we’re going to get revenge. Zayden keeps trying to talk to Blaze about it, but Blaze waves him off each time.
