Miami Florida, Sunday
Jan. 16th, 2011 02:38 pmBilly had meant to get to Fandom after John's funeral and see about giving the flag to Principal Winchester. But in the rush of finals and preparations for this semester, he hadn't managed to get away.
He hoped John would forgive him, wherever he was. After everything Billy had seen in high school he was pretty sure there was an after-life. Maybe flying the flag from the mast of their ship would be good enough.
Then to top it all off, Zanya had once again broken up with him. In typical Zanya fashion. She'd left. At least this time she'd told him it was over. She'd been as nice about it as a borderline psychotic biker girl could be he supposed.
"I just don't know that we really have any long term possibilities." she'd said. "Sure we have fun, but hell you're studying to be a fuckin' intellectual, you try to avoid fights, and you're a reserve member of G.I. Joe. I'm looking to inherit leadership of an international biker gang that's pretty high up on Interpol's most wanted list."
He suspected that part of the reason was that he'd be gone for an entire semester, and maybe longer. But that was a little too sentimental for her to say anything about.
In any case, tomorrow he and his classmates would set sail. For, as his appointed bunkmate had put it, "Adventure!!"
