#Chapter42
Normal is a dryer setting
Ryan
Over the next two weeks, Frazier clung to me like Saran Wrap. Everywhere I turned, he was there. At first, it annoyed me, but after a while, I got used to him. Until one day, I hadn’t seen him during the last day of school.
As I made my way home, some noises came from behind the school. I walked towards the noise to find Mario and a couple of his cronies attacking Frazier. Fucking Mario.
/"Hey! Leave him alone!/"
/"Stay out of it, Jones! It has nothing to do with you!/" Mario slammed his fist into Frazier again. /"This is between my dear old cousin and me./"
Cousin?
/"Your mother is like a ride where everyone gets a turn./" Frazier spat out blood.
Crack!
I got tempted to leave but realized this kid had been through enough. Mario never knew what hit him when I slammed my fist into his face.
