“...Dustin tried to concentrate, but his attention kept drifting to the hallway that led unstoppably to Taz’s room. It was a dark hallway, with lights that went on automatically as you made your way to the bathroom. It reminded Dustin of the reptile hose at the zoo. Unless you were stoned, the effect was merely irritating. As Dustin tried to make small talk, the back door opened and Kira’s little brother came clattering with his skateboard, wearing one of those surf-wax T-shirts that said THE BEST FOR YOUR STICK. Unlike Jonas, he would never lack for friends or have to worry about being pantsed.”
