We only shock people when we say something intelligent. We surprise ourselves too.

Chapter 14

PIPER

*******

“Why aren’t you having to wear one of these?” I hiss at Reese, who is snapping a thousand pictures of me in an oversized dinosaur costume.

I slip and fall for the fifth time, because these ice shoes don’t have the grip I was expecting. Fortunately, the padded dino suit absorbs most of the impact. Even more fortunate is the fact the shallow water here means the ice is frozen solid.

Reese’s endless laughter turns into evil cackles as she snaps even more pictures.

“Stop that!” I gripe, struggling to figure out how to get up.

I’ve yet to be able to stand back up on my own.

“I can’t help it. I’ve never seen you look so ridiculous,” she manages to get out between dry heaves, tears pouring from her eyes.

I glare at her, but she can’t see it, because the dino’s neck is covering my face. I can see out fairly decent, but it’s hard to see in.

“Her arm’s broken, and I don’t want her getting more hurt than she already is,” Hale says as he glides across the ice in his dino suit like he was born for this role.

Unlike me.

This is humiliating.

The other dino who glides to my side is Kai. I can tell by the green. He’s the only green dino out here.

I hear him chuckling under his breath, as the two of them help me to my feet once again.

“What’s the purpose of this, Vincent? I can’t spend all day in this damn thing. It smells like dirty feet in here!” George Malone calls out from…one of the many dino suits.

“We’re going to break the internet,” Hale calls back. “It’s for my YouTube channel. I need more subscribers to get more games.”

Reese only laughs that much harder when I dance on the ice in an attempt to stop myself from falling.

Kai’s dino arms come around me from behind, steadying me. At least I hope it’s him. It’s hard to tell from this angle because I can’t see all that well.

“Dino porn may be in style right now, but you two better not go at it until your Ma is off the ice,” George shouts, pointing a golf club at us as though it’s a weapon.

I never know what to say when they say things like that.

Some of the dinosaurs are wrestling. Some are ice skating. Some are having snowball fights…

It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen, and I can’t stop myself from laughing when Kai’s green dino takes off and tackles another one at the waist. There’s just something funny about watching overgrown stuffed animals do mundane, ordinary things.

“These suits are all over the internet,” Hale goes on.

“Vick will skin us alive if he catches all of us together. We’ve been together too much lately. Let’s get this over with,” George gripes.

Greta Wilder, Kai’s mom, glides on the ice in her pink dino suit like she’s the queen of ice. Life isn’t fair.
