Kids in Love Page #3

All I do is I wait and I dress

Then I eat then I leave the yard

Wait, are not we going

to ring the doorbell?

It doesn't work.

Come on. I'll show you the scenic route.

Whoa.

Cas?

Cas?

Oh, sh*t!

Sorry, man. You scared me.

I'm... I'm Jack.

OK. Good talk.

- Cas?

- Dog!

Oh, sister.

You can't call me that

when Elena's not here. I'm Viola.

I'm... I'm Jack.

Oh, thank God, dude.

My ex was called Dog.

Feeling the pain.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Um, is this your house?

Thank you so much for having me.

Oh, you're so sweet.

Uh, also, is that guy OK?

Who, Dave? Yeah, Dave's alright.

Aren't you, Dave?

Yeah, see?

He blinked. He's cool.

- Hey!

- Hey.

God, he's way cuter in the light.

Yeah, good shoes, too,

but shame about the shirt.

I can get past a bad shirt.

I'm feeling recently broken up?

Hmm. Good call. Sagittarius?

Virgo. I think Virgo.

Uh, well, uh, Taurus, actually.

But you're sort of right

about the girlfriend thing.

- Taurus. Really?

- Yeah, I didn't see that one.

Yeah, anyway, we gotta

go check on our tie-dye.

- Ev's upstairs.

- Thanks.

- Don't be a stranger!

- Yeah, thanks.

Oh, hey.

Hey.

Sit.

What's up?

- Nothing. What's up with you?

- Not much.

- So a weird place.

- Why?

Well, I-I just don't get any of it.

What is it that you don't get?

Well, we've only got

seven minutes, so...

Oh, well, you'd better get started.

OK.

Uh, what do you want?

Most? Bottled-up fun.

- What do you all do to live?

- Really?

Well...

Um, Cassius works at The Drambuie.

- Uh, the sisters, they just...

- What about Milo?

That question wasn't on the list.

Um, what do you do?

I'm a full-time daughter of darkness.

Right.

But, no, I just think you're different.

We're just kids, man, like you.

Like me? I'm not so sure.

There is something

about you, Jack, isn't there?

Now, which ones?

Um... those ones.

Great shout.

So d'you live here, man?

Yeah, Jacky. This is where it goes down.

Where are Viola and Elena's parents?

They're not really around anymore, Jack.

- Bad car crash, man.

- Oh, sh*t. I didn't know.

No, no, no, no, they're fine.

I mean, the girls are.

A couple of days ago I hooked up

with this artsy-fartsy baby.

She left her camera here.

It's like a Panto or

a Pentagon or some sh*t.

She's not coming back for it?

She's never coming back.

You want it?

- This is a Pentax.

- Is that good?

Is it good? It's the best.

Start taking some photos, then.

You know what? I think, for a Pentax,

I can take some photos.

Good.

Thanks, man.

- You wanna be my first photo?

- Let's go.

You ready?

Oh, sister!

- Hey.

- Oh, hey.

- How's it going?

- Good.

So, who dumped who?

What?

Who dumped who?

You or your girlfriend?

Yeah, it wasn't really like that.

You know, it was more of a, um...

She dumped you.

Yeah, dumped you real good.

No, no, I promise.

It wasn't. It was, it was fine.

I love a good dumping.

It's like one of those ones

from out of nowhere. It's like...

But I... I love you.

I need you.

I am nothing without you.

It's good, though.

You know, you've got emotions, Jacky.

- I can call you Jacky, right?

- Yeah, yeah, that's fine.

I mean, that's more than

can be said about some.

True. Not mentioning

any names or anything.

Milo.

- Who?

- Milo.

Where do you think

she'll say he is tonight?

I'm going for "f*** knows."

Obviously.

"F*** knows" sounds right.

Not eaten you alive yet,

have they, Jacky?

He calls him Jacky, too!

Uh, yeah, I'm, I'm hanging in there.

Elena's got a girl for you.

I don't need hook-ups.

Come on, Jack.

It's for us. You got your

boogie shoes on, baby?

Oh, don't "baby" me, honey.

You're on the run

You have nothing to fear

I don't know if it's a good thing

But you have me

It won't be long

Till you're back home

I'm pretty sure

We won't get along

- Hey. How are you?

- OK.

- Where's Milo?

- F*** knows.

All over your head

And in my car

Your mama's talkin'

To all the news

She thinks you run away

With some crazy fool

You scared of somethin'

You got me

I'll keep a secret

Well, it's just for you and me

White Fang

And red blood

All over your head

And in my car

Guys, I should get home.

No, you can't. Then you'd be

breaking the only rule.

What's that?

When you come to the Gabettis',

you gotta stay at the Gabettis'.

I should be going home, though.

Jack, you are at home.

A few days later

Feeling sober now

My head is gonna burst

With your innocent thoughts

Another drag won't save you

I need more whisky

And more virgins to be sure

And all my wild boys

They feel it too

I'm not the one

Who's gonna make it stop

They keep takin' me

night after night

Wakey-wakey, sunshine.

- Hello.

- Hey.

Oh.

What are you doing today?

Oh, um...

I dunno. I probably

should be getting home.

Oh, not on an empty stomach.

What would your mother say?

Come on.

Hmm. You don't wanna know.

You've known the sisters for a while?

Yeah. A year, I suppose.

I just moved in, like,

a year ago or something.

Oh, nice. And they're so sweet.

They love you.

Hmm, they love you.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Although I'm totally blaming them

for how I feel this morning.

I just feel so bad.

Sorry I'm late, baby.

- Counted on it.

- Well, that's sweet.

- Hey, man.

- How's it going?

I'm good.

- Where have you been?

- Just busy.

Um, excuse me.

Can I get a coffee, please?

Yeah, coming right up.

Anything to eat?

No, I'm good, thank you.

- You should eat.

- I'm not hungry.

I sorta never eat breakfast.

Most important meal of the day.

Well, that depends when you

start your day, though, right?

True. Normally in the morning,

but not today, apparently.

- There you go, love.

- Thank you so much.

Enjoy.

What do you do, Jack?

Mmm... sorry, mouth full. Um...

I'm going to Bristol uni next year.

He's working for the London Heart Trust.

You're a chugger? That's beautiful.

He's a real-life Robin Hood.

Yeah, without the bow and arrow.

Is that yours?

Um, yeah. Well, uh,

it's Cassius's actually.

Or his friend's, but, um,

he gave it to me, which is...

- Really? That's sweet of him.

- Yeah.

- What are you gonna do with it?

- Try and take some photos.

Other than Cassius in his underwear...

Some proper photos, you know.

How was the party?

It was fun. Jack is my new best friend.

Watch out, man. She's flaky.

I'm flaky?

You're the flakiest person I know.

Jack is a little reliable rock.

- There's a compliment for you.

- Right.

Yeah, no, I love being compared

to inanimate objects. That's...

I'm going for a smoke.

She really lives in her own world.

I wish I could be

more like her sometimes.

- Like all of 'em.

- Yeah? All that's pricey.

What does that mean?

They're a bit lost. Going

round and round in circles.

You just keep your head, you know.

Yeah. Thanks.

What about her?

Well, if she ever lived in it,

she'd be the most beautiful

thing the real world ever saw,

but...

Yeah, she's hard to work out, I guess.

I wouldn't even try.
