Pearl was busily drawing Satanic pentagrams on her copy of Lord Of The Flies, focused green eyes only tearing away from her doodles so she could meet Lennonās gaze.Ā āAdderall,ā Pearl commented absently, and returned to sketching ink black lines along the cracks. āWhat crazy schemes do you want me to cook up for you? We could plait each otherās hair like that girl in Matilda and put curses on people.ā Drumming her pen against the drying ink, Pearl plucked the joint from behind her ear and slid it between her teeth so she could spark it.Ā āIām feeling very magical.ā
āDo you have any?ā Lennon asked, her blue eyes lighting up slightly with Pearlās flippant suggestion.Ā Sobriety was like sleep to Lennon - pointless, a waste of time, nothingness. Things had a tendency of slowing down when there was nothing amplifying her bloodstream - things had a tendency of becoming boring.Ā Sheād always secretly thought that about her fatherās death; at least the fucker didnāt die bored.Ā āYeah, I love it when people plait my hair,ā she commented wistfully, sliding a lighter out of orange, crochet bra and throwing it Pearlās way,Ā āHow about getting fuckedĀ and improvising a theatre piece in the square for everyone? An Ode toĀ Amphetamines, by Lennon and Pearl.ā
