“I got expelled, and Patty broke up with me.
I went to school about one o’clock. I had to check in at the office and let them know I was there. I told them I had been sick that morning but was okay now. They didn’t believe me, but I wasn’t going to say I’d been to a beer blast till five in the morning.
I had done the same thing lots of times before, so I was surprised when, instead of giving me a pass back to class, I was sent in to see Mr. Harrigan, the guidance counselor.
“Rusty,” he said, shuffling through some papers on his desk to let me know I was taking up his valuable time. “You have been to see me before.”
“Yeah,” I said. I can’t stand for people to call me just “Rusty.” It makes me feel like I’m not wearing my pants or something.
“Too many times,” he said.
I was wondering what was coming. I mean, I didn’t go in there and waste his time on purpose.
