When Atticus got home, he found Jem sitting in front of the TV in his underwear and eating potato chips like a fat lazy slob!
Atticus shouted, "Boy, turn off dat TV! I need to talk to ya."
Jem was all like, "Jus a God damn minute, pops!"
Atticus then kicked in the TV screen in an anger rage!
Jem was shocked!
"Dat's why you should listen to me boy! Maybe if you start behavin yo ass then you could get a new one! Now stop actin up! What yo problem anyway!"
Jem frowned. He just said, "Nothing."
"It don't seem dat way to me! But me n Mr. Ewell is sick of yo attitude! We ain't gonna have you actin up no mo!"
"WHATEVA!" and Jem ran off.
"Those damn kids", said Cal.
"DAMN STRAIGHT!" Yelled Attticus! But he hoped that they'd start being good and SOON. He couldn't be going down to Bob Ewell's school everyday! But the next day, he got a call from him anyways, asking him to come down for another parent teacher conference. Atticus was getting tired of this! Jem was going to get in HUGE trouble. But when Atticus got there, Bob Ewell was not angry at all!
Bob said, "Atticus, I'm so glad to see you here!"
Atticus was all like oook.
"Well, I gotta say, your son is so much better today," said Bob.
Atticus said, "It's bout damn time! Dat kid was drivin me nuts! I know exactly watchu mean Bob!"
Ibaaa
Then Bob moved closer to Atticus. He said, "So Attie, are you doin anything tonight? I was… uhm.. just wonderin. Cuz since we are friends and all now. We should spend time together."
Atticus thought for a moment. He didn't like Bob Ewell for such a long time but since they were basically cool now, Atticus thought that it wouldn't hurt to accept!
"Aight, I guess we could hang out. Whatcha wanna do?" asked Atticus.
"Well I thought maybe we could meet at that new Restaurant down the street. Just to eat dinner. Ya know. So you can get away from those kids, I figure they must get annoying after a while!!"
"I guess so. Sumtime they do."
"Well great. I guess I'll se ya there then! At 5:30!"
"Ok."
Then Atticus left and walked home. He went home, where Jem was sitting quietly, doing his homework.
Atticus told him, "Whuddup son! Mr. Ewell was sayin you was doin good in his class now. I'm hella proud od you boy!"
"Aight aight aight. I jus wan yall to leave me tha hell alone!"
"Whateva. I gotsa to be leavin in a couple hours. I'mma go hang out wit one a my new friends."
"Aight."
TWO HOURS LATER.
Atticus garbebd his coat and started walking down the road to the new restaurant where he and Bob Ewell would be meeting. He walked in and opened the door. When he got there, Bob Ewells was already sitting at a table. He waved and Atticus went over to him.
"What it do," Atticus said.
"Hi Atticus," Bob said, and smiled.
Atticus pulled up his chair.
Bob told him, "I really like havin you here, Atticus. I'm soooo glad that we're gettin along now."
"Yeah."
Atticus and Bob ordered the food, then ate it while having great conversations. Then it was time to ask for the bill. Atticus got out his money but Bob Ewell said, "No, allow ME!"
Atticus just said, "Whateva!"
And Bob paid both of their bills! And the tip! Then Bob invited Atticus to walk around town with him. Atticus was like, fine, whatever!
They walked all down the street lined with lights that lit up the town beautifully! Then they got to a quiet fountain and sat on the bench together. Bob sat really close to Atticus! He yawned and layed his head on his shoulder!
Atticus "UH, Brotha wat chu doin?!?!"
Bo said, "Attcius, I can't stand this anymore!! I am sooo in love with you!"
Atticus was kind of freaked out at first! But he had not felt love in so long! It has been ten years since his wife dies. He stared into his eyes.
"You know what motha fucka, I'm glad."
And they shared a warm embrace and kiss!
Bob Ewell looked at his watch. "Well, I guess we better get goin. It's gettin kinda late. I gotta teach classes tomorrow!!!"
Atticus stared at the ground, "Bye."
"Love you, Attie!"
And Attcus just turned away and quickly walked home. Atticus suddenly felt sorta embaressed! What if someone saw! Like for instance, one of his client. He wanted to keep making money! He then thought about how great Bob Ewell was and forgot all that other stuff. He opened his door and saw Scout Jem sitting around reading a children's bedtime storybook. How sweet he thought. He shut the door and walked into where the kids were sitting.
"Hi Atticus," said Scout.
"Sup pops," said Jem. "You have a good time?"
Atticus replied, "Hell yeah boy. But I'mma go to bed here in a minute. You kids don't be stayin up late or I'mma beat yo asses! Ya hear!"
"Ok good night!" Scout said.
Atticus shut his door and thinking about the events of this night. He really liked Bob Ewell now, and Bob Ewell loved him, but how would this relationship, ever work out??!? He was Jem's schoolteacher! What would the kids think! What would his clients think about his relationship with another man! How could he hide this or have it go on?! He decided to just forget about it and go to sleep.
