The Curiosity of Chance Page #3

What next, a dress?

My dad.

A man who never met a rule

he didn't try out at least once...

or a firearm.

What kind of reaction do you get when

you show up with something like that on?

It varies.

The people behind me get upset because

they can't see the blackboard...

Due to the hat.

Mostly, they just miss the point.

Which is what, exactly?

That my chosen expression of

individualism should be embraced,

not ridiculed.

Someone hit him in the head

with a tennis ball.

Then he got sent

to the Vice Principal

after a bully called him

a homosexual.

Sienna,

my real sister with the fake accent.

I tell her everything and, quite often,

live to regret it.

Why did they send you

to the principal's office for that?

Long story.

She already has it out for me though.

She's also one of the largest women

I've ever seen...

like circus-large.

I'm sure if she were to grow a beard,

which I'm quite certain she's capable of-

Chance,

understood.

Sounds like

you had a rough day, Cadet.

But I think you forgot

rule number one,

which is:
when kids call you names,

you stand up for yourself

like a man.

I think he needs more R-T-T.

Retrograde Tactical Training?

Roger that.

What did you enjoy most about that?

Jujitsu.

Aye!

When I was nine.

'Kids' aren't calling me names.

One of them, Brad Harden,

called me 'homo-breath,'

but he started off with 'f*ggot'.

Chance,

you know I don't like to hear

that word in this house.

As opposed to just living with one?

Getting settled in?

Listen Chance,

a unit is only as strong

as its weakest link.

It's my job to shore up the links.

Do you understand?

Chance,

understood?

Lights out soon.

I said come back here right now.

Don't walk away from me,

we're not done discussing this!

Well, I'm done discussing it!

Did you ever think that playing football

is not the answer to everything?

Then explain to me how you're

gonna pay for your tuition!

How are you gonna pay

for your studies?!

You think its me

who's gonna pay for that!

I don't care,

I'll figure something out!

Don't blow this

football scholarship, Lee.

Start figuring that out and soon!!

Sometimes life has a strange way of giving

you EXACTLY what you want.

And then making you pay,

dearly.

So, does your dad keep like,

guns and artillery at home?

Uh, affirmative.

The hand-grenades are stored

in the dining buffet

and he only loads the semi-automatics,

but we feel very safe.

Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?

Because sittin' here

with you two losers is doing

nothing for my reputation.

And, for the record...you are poison.

And you're... plain toxic.

Well, your reputation, from what

I observe, is pretty much non-existent.
