Wild Tigers I Have Known Page #2

I would be your only dream.

I would be your only dream...

I could hit him for you,

if you want.

Who?

Bryce. I could do it, you know.

No, it's not worth it.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Do you like school?

Not really.

I hate it. Not as much as I used to hate

it because, really, it's almost over.

What's almost over?

Junior high, it's dumb.

It's just such a dumb time.

Yeah, but it's not really over.

High school will be better.

More kids.

Right, more kids that'll hate me.

Who hates you?

I don't know, boys like Bryce.

Everybody, really.

Nobody talks to me.

You think I hate you?

I don't know yet.

Yet. So you mean you will know?

Yeah, maybe.

Well, I don't hate you.

Yeah, well, you're different then, I guess.

I really want to see lions or a lion.

I guess they're not around today.

How many have you seen?

Like, two.

No, wait... three.

All together?

No, different times.

Do they see you?

No.

How do you know?

You think I'd be here if they saw me?

I'd be dead for sure.

You can't survive something like that,

you know?

I thought they lived

in caves or something.

That's total bullshit.

Oh.

Some kid killed himself In one of those

caves a couple years ago.

They just don't want us

messing around in there.

Don't want any more dead kids, I guess.

Hello?

Jesus, where were you after school?

I was with Rodeo.

What?

He said he knows where the lions

are and he said he might take me.

- Such a liar.

- No, he's not.

Let me know when you see the lions then.

So what are you doing?

Oh, I'm making a list.

A list?

A list. Ways to be cool.

Ways to be cool?

Yeah, so we can be cooler.

So what's on the list?

Mostly stuff about motorcycles.

Motorcycles?

Yeah, got anything to add?

Uh, how about not making lists?

That'll make you cooler.

Whatever.

Maybe I just won't give you a copy then.

So...

So what?

Rodeo's, like, your new best friend now?

I don't really have a best friend.

Oh...

But you're still mine.

That's OK, right?

Just call me later, OK?

Well, it's stupid.

Why is it stupid?

Because... he's lame.

Why is he lame?

He just is.

He probably, like, wants

to blow you or something.

What if he did?

Did he?

What can I say?

Everyone likes me.

You're so full of yourself.

And you know what?

If you, like, let him like you,

then you're a fag.

He's just bored with everything.

Except you, right?

Yeah, he likes me.

But, what's so...

bad about someone liking me?

Are you jealous?

God, no.

Sounds like you are.

Well, he can't come over.

You can't bring him over here.

Why is that?

Well, you just can't, OK?

He's your friend.

Don't try to make him mine.

- Whatever.

- No, not whatever. I'm serious.

And if he makes you a fag,

then you can't come over either.

When you're a ghost, will you haunt me?

What?

A ghost.

I want to know if you'll haunt

me when you're a ghost.

You mean, like when I'm dead?

Yeah, when you're really dead.

You want me to?

Well, no.

Well, I guess I'd watch you.

I mean, I'll have to.

I'm your mom.

So... if you died tomorrow, like, in

the day, could you watch me in the night?

Yeah.

If I died, would be able to watch you?

Would you want to?

I guess. What else would I do?

You better be watching me.

If we both

pretend that there was an end...

then maybe there really will be

a beginning...

and it will start with us

running away together...

off, off, off...

far, far, far away.

And we'll live with the lions

and sleep in trees.

Just sleep, that's all we'll need.

Do you think about breaking things?

We could break things.

Hearts?

Don't break my heart.

Does my hair look OK?

You look like you

could be famous or something.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

OK, you get half and I get half.

Well, we should do something cool

with them.

- Like what?

- Like put 'em all over town.

Right.

Let's just go wait outside.

Most boys just want to get

drunk or go steal something.

They like to get into trouble.

Right.

Yeah.

You never want to do

that stuff or what?

I don't know, I guess

I didn't really think about it.

That's cool.

Thanks.

How come you don't have a girlfriend?

I don't know.

I have... a bunch of times.

How come you don't?

I don't know.

Girls don't really like me, I guess.

They don't really think about me.

Sometimes... girls make me want

to go to sleep.

Yeah?

I'm gonna go home and sleep.

I got, like, two hours

of sleep last night.

Last couple nights, actually.

Really?

Yeah, but you can call me

if you're bored or whatever.

I don't really have your number.

Yeah?

You never really gave it to me.

I don't really like to give it out.

Hello?

Hello?

Is this Rodeo?

Yeah, who's this?

Oh, you don't know me.

But you know me.

What are you doing right now?

Nothing. Who is this?

I'm... Leah.

Leah.

Do I know you from school?

You don't know me.

Yeah, but you know me.

I think you're cute.

What about you?

What about me?

What do you look like?

I don't know, my friends say I'm pretty.

Do I know your friends?

Oh, I don't know.

What are their names?

No, I don't think you know them.

Why are you calling me?

I just wanted to say that I like you,

that I think you're cute.

Like... you want to blow me or something?

Do you want me to?

I don't even know you.

But... would you want me to?

I want to be more than friends.

Shouldn't we be friends first?

Oh... aren't we?

You said you want me to suck you.

I want to know who this is.

I really am pretty.

My friends wouldn't lie to me about that.

So... what are you doing right now?

Nothing, I guess.

Wanna get off?

Right now?

Yeah, like, on the phone.

What are you wearing right now?

What are you wearing?

I don't... want to say.

Boxers.

Oh.

I'm wearing this flower dress.

It's yellow and white.

I've got my hand down my pants.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Hold on.

Have you... done this before?

Like, with other girls?

What?

Like... on the phone?

Are you touching yourself?

Yeah.

I wanna see who can come first.

Like a race?

Yeah.

OK.

I can... feel you more than

any ghost would ever dare try.

Uh, I've got to go.

Hey.

Hey.

You want some?

Hey. We should go.

Hello?

Hi, it's Leah.

Oh, hey.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Bored, like always.

Wanna talk?

I wanna f***.

Who?

Whoever this is.

Oh.

OK.

You can... f*** me.

Where?

Can't we... do it on the phone?

No.

Why not?

Because that's not f***ing.

Oh.

You're a girl, aren't you?

Yeah.

Then why can't I f*** you?

I'm a girl.

You can, I just... don't

know if I'm... ready for that.

Call me when you are.

Hello?

Hey, it's Leah.

Oh.

Hey.

What's going on?

Nothing.

What do you want?

I think...

I'm ready to have you f*** me.

OK, where?

The caves.

Where the lions live?

They're not there.

How do you know?

I've...

been there before.

OK...

What time?

Two hours.

I'm here.

Yeah?

Why won't you let me see you?

Take...

off your clothes.

Are we gonna f*** or what?

You can... f*** me.

You're not Leah.

Yes, I am.

You... really didn't know?
