Wild Tigers I Have Known Page #3

That's total bullshit.

Oh.

Some kid killed himself In one of those

caves a couple years ago.

They just don't want us

messing around in there.

Don't want any more dead kids, I guess.

Hello?

Jesus, where were you after school?

I was with Rodeo.

What?

He said he knows where the lions

are and he said he might take me.

- Such a liar.

- No, he's not.

Let me know when you see the lions then.

So what are you doing?

Oh, I'm making a list.

A list?

A list. Ways to be cool.

Ways to be cool?

Yeah, so we can be cooler.

So what's on the list?

Mostly stuff about motorcycles.

Motorcycles?

Yeah, got anything to add?

Uh, how about not making lists?

That'll make you cooler.

Whatever.

Maybe I just won't give you a copy then.

So...

So what?

Rodeo's, like, your new best friend now?

I don't really have a best friend.

Oh...

But you're still mine.

That's OK, right?

Just call me later, OK?

Well, it's stupid.

Why is it stupid?

Because... he's lame.

Why is he lame?

He just is.

He probably, like, wants

to blow you or something.

What if he did?

Did he?

What can I say?

Everyone likes me.

You're so full of yourself.

And you know what?

If you, like, let him like you,

then you're a fag.

He's just bored with everything.

Except you, right?

Yeah, he likes me.

But, what's so...

bad about someone liking me?

Are you jealous?

God, no.

Sounds like you are.

Well, he can't come over.

You can't bring him over here.

Why is that?

Well, you just can't, OK?

He's your friend.

Don't try to make him mine.

- Whatever.

- No, not whatever. I'm serious.

And if he makes you a fag,

then you can't come over either.

When you're a ghost, will you haunt me?

What?

A ghost.

I want to know if you'll haunt

me when you're a ghost.

You mean, like when I'm dead?

Yeah, when you're really dead.

You want me to?

Well, no.

Well, I guess I'd watch you.

I mean, I'll have to.

I'm your mom.

So... if you died tomorrow, like, in

the day, could you watch me in the night?

Yeah.

If I died, would be able to watch you?

Would you want to?

I guess. What else would I do?

You better be watching me.

If we both

pretend that there was an end...

then maybe there really will be

a beginning...

and it will start with us

running away together...

off, off, off...

far, far, far away.

And we'll live with the lions

and sleep in trees.

Just sleep, that's all we'll need.

Do you think about breaking things?

We could break things.

Hearts?

Don't break my heart.

Does my hair look OK?

You look like you

could be famous or something.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

OK, you get half and I get half.

Well, we should do something cool

with them.

- Like what?
