My grandmother is a strange person. She goes to funerals for entertainment. This funeral in particular is Tommy Mansonâs. No one liked him, he was a school bully, and never left our small rural town of Centerville. He died in a car accident after leaving a bar in the net town over. His parents, girlfriend, and young son, Tommy Jr., were the only family he had, so a lot of police officers and those of us who went to school with Tommy came to comfort them. I wasnât planning on being here, but Gran said it would be good for me to go because I had known him. Unfortunately, we showed up late, but no one seemed to notice.
âItâs a shame he died so young. And with a toddler at home too.â
âGran, Iâm pretty sure she was going to leave with the kid soon anyway. I heard from Zack that he was hitting her.â Zachary Holland is my best friend. Always has been. I notice that heâs across the room from us, standing with a few other police offices, including his partner, Sam.
âSpeaking of Zachary,â my grandmother says quietly, âwhen are you going to go out with him.â
âGran! Weâre just friends! Donât read into it just because heâs a guy,â I whisper back impatiently.
We pay our respects to tommyâs family, and I notice that his son looks a lot like he did back in elementary school. I just hope he grows up to be a better classmate, and a better man. I walk over to Zack and Sam to say hello, and Gran winks at me.
âThey drove separate tonight, so Iâll go ahead and leave. Youâll have a way home.â
WHAT! No, no, no. First, how does she know. Second, Iâm not going to mooch of Zack for a ride home. Thatâs redic â oh great. Sheâs gone.
