It was nights like this that made him glad his parents subscribed to the idea of using weekends to reconnect like Clare’s did. He was supposed to be grounded until the end of the month, but that didn’t stop him from getting around town and hanging out once his folks were asleep. Now was a golden opportunity, a weekend free of parents, and he took that chance to hang out with Aurora. She’s a lot different than the girls he’s used to, a bit scary at times, but she has never been a bore. So for tonight, he’s in her room on the floor, laying on his back as they listen to classic rock vinyl on YouTube through a speaker as they’re on their third blunt. “Yo, JD. Pass me that those chips.” He says as he points to her on her bed above him. “Or pour them right in my mouth, whatever gets me nacho cheese Doritos faster.”
