Chapter 24
I barely got inside my house when I decided to head back out again. Mother called me out and I answered back with some excuse I can’t remember, shut the door and headed straight to Deppy’s.
As I walked there, I got lost in my thoughts.
This all seemed nuts. If my friends hadn’t been there for me, I’d think I was going crazy.
My friends.
I took them for granted, but they had really been there for me. Billy the tall and lean geek had come with me to a strange meet, saved my life after my heart stopped, and still said when we parted, “Call me as soon as you need me.” Deppy, the short and curvy geek, whom I didn’t even care to hang out with at school, had defended me from the people who’s attention I craved for.
It was the first time I really appreciated them, instead of just thinking I was worth it so they just did stuff for me.
One hundred and nine minutes. That was my life now, a countdown.
