Bang, bang, bang, bang. There is a universal rule out there that all teenage boys must make as much noise as possible whenever possible. There totally is. Look it up. There's no other reason why he would make so much noise dragging a skateboard over some steps if there weren't ( Read more... )

Unhelpfully, "Tell her they're dead. Borrow someone else's family. Lie. Lying's important." Thanks, Gaheris.

"Dude!"

Gaheris has apparently reached the level of uncool, from the sound of Martín's tone.

"Yeah?"

"She's sixteen," he says, with emphasis. This is apparently supposed to tell him a great deal it actually doesn't.

Don is stretched out on a convenient if not comfortable bench, chest rising and falling steadily. A hat rests on his face.

The banging does nothing to aid his already agonized attempts at sleep, and after a third round of it he shifts--gingerly--into a sitting position.

"Why aren't you in school?" It comes out a croak.

Martín is aware enough to take note of Don's expression, and he lifts the skateboard off the ground obligingly. He may be a teenager, but at least he's a polite one.

"I'm homeschooled?" he offers, as if it's a suggestion. "And, uh, it's past sunset. School's long over, dude."

It's a little odd to use 'sunset' as a time marker rather than an actual hour, but he isn't aware of it.

Of the things competing for Don's attention right now--among them a pounding headache carrying on where the skateboard left off and a rising tide of nausea--peculiar chronographic practices don't even rate.

He sets his hat beside him and hunches over, shuts his eyes. "So what's in the backpack?"

He unzips the top and produces a basketball. What, were you expecting books?

"I got aspirin." He should probably try to lower his tone, but he doesn't. He shortly produces a bottle from an outer pocket. "My sister gets headaches, but if your hangover's that bad you outta drink water. That's what they say."
