CHAPTER 17

Payson, Arizona

Jaycee laughed, so hard that warm soda almost came out of his nostrils. He brought his hand up to cover it, still chuckling in that dry half-silent way he always did, like he was choking rather than laughing.

“And then,” Chad says, annunciating his words by bobbing his fork before him like a sword, “She says: You wouldn’t have. It’s a school.”

Jaycee laughed again, lurching forward against the table with his eyes pressed closed and watering. “She didn’t say that?”

“Hand to God,” Chad chuckled, holding up his right hand for effect. He dug his fork down into his penne pasta and shoveled a large glob of it into his mouth. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a couple at the next table over staring at them. He turned to them and smiled, wiggling his fingers. They turned away quickly.

“Oh yeah. Remember that time I got lynched? That was fun.”

Chad laughed. “I’m serious. Guy doesn’t grow up looking like you without learning to play the dozens.”

Jaycee looked back at his glass for a moment, watching the way the light reflected off of it.

Chad’s smile wilted slightly. “No offense.”

He smiled. “None taken.”

Chad watched him for a moment, then went back to his chicken penne.

Jaycee smiled and leaned in, resting his elbows on the table. “There was this one time during a pep rally...”
