I thought for a second that the dirtballs were going to
hunt my brother down again, but everyone was so slow to move. And even
when Derek, holding the cut on his face, said," We should kick
that guys' ass," I knew he didn't mean it. His eyes that were usually
spazing-out, looking all over the place, just looked down through his
hanging hair. And nobody cared enough to do it now anyway, all their
energy was spent. The room became quiet and tired. All the guys slowly
spread out around to the dark walls at the back of the place, away form
the bright windows at the front of the room, back to playing their own
games. A couple were sneaking smokes beind that one red racing game.
When I got up to leave, I was tire too. On my way out all I heard was
the video game sounds that are so stupid unless you see the screen at
the same time as you hear the noises. Nobody was talking.
