"Jeez, Paul, don't you freaking have a home of your own?"Paul, lounging across my whole couch, watching some stupid baseball game on my crappy TV, justgrinned at me and then—real slow—he lifted one Dorito from the bag in his lap and wedged it into hismouth in one piece.
"You betterVe brought those with you."Crunch2. "Nope," he said while chewing. "Your sister said to go ahead and help myself to anything Iwanted."I tried to make my voice sound like I wasn't about to punch him. "Is Rachel here now?"It didn't work. He heard where I was going and shoved the bag behind his back. The bag crackled as hesmashed it into the cushion. The chips crunched3 into pieces. Paul's hands came up in fists, close to hisface like a boxer4.
"Bring it, kid. I don't need Rachel to protect me."I snorted. "Right. Like you wouldn't go crying to her first chance."He laughed and relaxed into the sofa, dropping his hands. "I'm not going to go tattle to a girl. If you gotin a lucky hit, that would be just between the two of us. And vice5 versa, right?"Nice of him to give me an invitation. I made my body slump6 like I'd given up. "Right."His eyes shifted to the TV.
I lunged.
His nose made a very satisfying crunching7 sound of its own when my fist connected. He tried to grab me,but I danced out of the way before he could find a hold, the ruined bag of Doritos in my left hand.
"You broke my nose, idiot.""Just between us, right, Paul?"I went to put the chips away. When I turned around, Paul was repositioning his nose before it could setcrooked.
The blood had already stopped; it looked like it had no source as it trickled8 down his lips and off hischin. He cussed, wincing9 as he pulled at the cartilage.
"You are such a pain, Jacob. I swear, I'd rather hang out with Leah.""Ouch. Wow, I bet Leah's really going to love to hear that you want to spend some quality time with her.
