"Hey Gordo"! Chris yelled from the tree house window.

I didn't greet him back I just kept walking towards the tree house with my head down. Once I was inside Chris and teddy looked up from their usual game of cards and Vern looked up from his old comic book he's read about 100 times he reads every time he gets bored of watching Chris and teddy play I bet he's memorized it by now.

"What's wrong man"? Chris asked concerned. Teddy and Vern just watched me and waited for my answer I hated when they did that I wasn't used to being the center of attention especially now since Denny was gone.

"Nothing" I said trying to put on a fake smile but it didn't work they knew me like Vern knew his comic books by heart.

"Are you sure man"? Chris asked

"Yeah, im sure im just having a bad day that's all". I gave him a look like I don't want to talk about It and I could tell he understood because he quickly changed the subject.

"So you guys ready for school yet"? Chris asked

"No way had teddy said "I can't believe just two more weeks of summer"

"Yeah I wonder who im gonna have for a teacher" Vern said

"Hopefully it's not Miss. Henderson, what a bitch"! Chris replied

I just sat there and listened to their conversations not interested like I usually would be I just couldn't stop thinking about what my mom had told me before I had left. I was finally broken out of my thoughts when I heard teddy and Vern saying they had to go home to eat dinner before their moms had a fit.

When they had left Chris asked me what was bothering me again.

"Gordie what's up with you today? Chris asked taking a drag from his cigarette

"Well I got some bad news today" I said thinking about what had happened that day.
