“In the flesh! Ant, you’re here too!?”
Gentle arms wrapping around you. The corner of a graduate’s cap bonking your head.
“How’d I do, huh?”
“Amazing, sweetie!”
Another Gardenia-scented arm wraps around your shoulders and squeezes you closer.
“You dinked it outta’ the park!”
“No one says that, ma…”
“I do! Let me be a lame mom for one day, will ya?”
“So,” Begins aftershave, “Where are you planning on staying, hm?” A raspy laugh and a smile in his tone. “Rented out your room to a whole family, y’know.”
“Har har…” The graduate’s eyes fall upon you. Bright. Warm. “What about you, flash? Any schools catch your eye?” She leans in close, stale gum on her breath. Spearmint. “It ain’t just parties, y’know. Sometimes you LEARN something!”
“Don’t give him ideas…” Grumbles aftershave with another weary laugh under his breath, “You wanna party? You’re getting a LOAN.”
You responded… in your own way.
