Are you ready to put the ‘fun’ in Fall Fun Fest?” he says…
““Are you ready to put the ‘fun’ in Fall Fun Fest?” he says as I slap his palm. “I can at least put the ‘trip’ in ‘Triple F.’” A pause. “By being clumsy, I mean. Not by, like, sharing drugs with the group.” Three sets of eyes are on me, and I can’t stop myself from talking. “I don’t have any drugs. In case you were worried. Or, in case you were … expecting me to have drugs.…” Gideon grins.””
