Ricky licked his lips and spat. "Ach, I always feel like shit afterwards," he said.
Tom handed him the photo. He smiled wide. "Awesome." They walked back to Tom's place—more slowly than they came, as Ricky's clothing crusted over him and ants crawled up his shoes, and mosquitoes attacked him, because he had killed himself. They got back to Tom's house and Tom called for his dad, to which there was no response. Ricky took a shower and Tom threw himself on the couch. Ricky came back dripping in a towel. "Can I get some clothes?" he asked.
"In the closet behind you."
Ricky pulled some pants on first, then a shirt. He lay on the floor in the middle of the living room. "Beats the fuck out of a bridge," he said. A moment passed. His breath still sounded short.
"You cool, man?" Tom asked.
"Well, I was thinking... Yeah. I was just thinking. I'm gonna kill that kid from the bus," Ricky said. "The Blink-182 kid."
"Yeah?"
"I think so. Can I borrow your gun for it?"
"Yeah. Let me know in the morning if you still want to." They went to sleep.
Sun beamed through the picture windows as the day began to develop. Ricky woke early with a stiff back. He rolled onto his stomach. The carpet looked clean, and he took a deep sniff of it. He dug the tips of his fingers in. Tom was sprawled half on, half off the couch, somewhere in that heap of sweatshirt and jeans. Ricky thumbed through the CD collection and there were dozens of artists he hadn't heard. He thought they should skip school and listen to all of them. He paged through a novel, cooled his feet on the kitchen tile, pored through the empty refridgerator, and waved a butter knife about. All the while his thoughts were elsewhere. In his mind he was in the bus and Blink-182 was singing Blink-182.
