All true. I didn't want to make the family suffer too much from Manny's anger.
Manny saw that Rocky was only defending himself, so punishment was tame. There will be more interaction with his school friends.
Rocky ran into the house. He saw Sandy first.
"Where's Bass?"
"I'm not sure, maybe his room."
Rocky hit the stairs two at a time up to Bass' room. He knocked, but there was no answer. While he was upstairs, he changed his shirt. He'd have to mention it to Linda, maybe she knew some trick to get the blood out. Rocky's next choice was the study. He knocked and opened the door. His search was successful this time.
"Hi Bass."
"Hey Rocky. I've been reading up on arm transplan
Not if the treasure was there. but if it wasn't, and there wasn't a second cave-in, they'd be able to save themselves the trouble.
Hot crossed buns?
Personally, I see Ben being slightly homophobic, but because it's his cousin, he tolerates it; but screams bloody murder when he wakes up to see them having sex.
Should they invite Courtney Love for a threesome?
Great chapter. A couple ideas on supplies for next year: Something to poke a small hole through the rocks, maybe a long telescoping truncheon. Add to that a fiberoptic camera. They can push the head of the cable through the hole previously opened and see if there's anything back there without a lot of back-breaking, and possibly dangerous, manual labor.
Like I said above, he apparently assumed it was an accident, although the teacher at the buses definitely was weak.
Oh, Bruce started it alright. More on that later.
I think I Made mention somewhere that Manny's work insurance wasn't very good. He has other options, as we'll see in later chapters.
Considering he's Russian, maybe Drago would have been a better nickname.
The counseling will happen, just, really pretty much in the background.
Bass will definitely make Loretta Lynn happy and ‘stand by his man.’
No major hassles are planned for the rest of Rocky’s first week. After that, I make no promises.
Probably early Wednesday you’ll get your wish.
And probably not only Wilmer.
Yes, but he makes another appearance and isn't quite as dicky. So, he's only a half-dick.
I really need to request a groan emoji.
Shoot, that's too complicated for me. Manny would end up drenched in beer.
Perhaps. But your first sentence may limit the amount of patience required.
He's safe in the restrooms, I've already written an attack occurring there in another story. But there may very well be other areas of the school I have left void of attacks before.
I have no idea how to respond to this!
Yes, his perspective was definitely a positive.
Drama upon drama.
You don’t really want me to answer that, do you? I’ll be vague, the roller coaster ride is far from over.
Well, he is a thirteen-year-old boy. Impressions are everything.
A nine-bedroom house, with heavy-duty security, an indoor pool, tennis and racquetball courts, riverfront property? Very high standards must be assumed.
We'll assume they passed the smell test.
Middle school rules of engagement really aren't that much different than those in prison.
