Last Light
“Yes, he’d messed up big-time last night, and he knew there would be repercussions. But his parents were cutting off their noses to spite their faces. He could have been helpful inside, but instead he had to sit here wasting time.
He could have slept later.
An hour went by, the sun rising ever higher in the sky, its heat beating down on him with relentless oppression. His head still pounded from last night’s events, and he wished he’d eaten more breakfast. He felt a little sick, and dreaded the ...thought of throwing up on the pavement. He didn’t think he would, though. No, this was the kind of nausea that hung with you all day long, like a stalker waiting to strike.
The first shoppers started coming out of the store, their arms loaded with purchases. A group of guys gathered outside the door, talking quietly and looking his way. He recognized them from school, though they weren’t in his circle of friends. They were a year or so behind him, probably freshmen.
