“First of all, it was fucking hot. As in, Adam’s laptop broke because the sweat dripping off his hands had messed up the keyboard. Ethan had gotten an air conditioner installed in the window of his room right away, but Casey and June insisted they didn’t need one for the living room. Casey liked to sprawl out on the futon in her underwear and “pretend it’s a shaman’s sweat lodge and I’m getting cleansed.” June liked to watch her sprawl out. Every day Adam witnessed June veer between the sheer jo...y of being around the object of her obsession and the horror of getting to do that without getting to have her. The whole thing was sort of fascinating, if not totally depressing.
Everyone had also started jobs. Casey was working at a YMCA summer camp and came home each day babbling about how much fun she’d had, demonstrating how a kid named Kelvin had taught all the counselors the Crip Walk, or completely exhausted, tipping like a felled tree, face first onto the futon. “All I want to do is pass out, but I can’t stop hearing their screaming voices in my head.”MoreLess Read More Read Less
