Dear Devin,

You're rich enough where you can spare ten dollars

Anyway, yes, we're very happy for you Randy. You better convince your sister to name the kid Knox

Subject: my nephew is not being named Knox

Knox: no

Devin: yes, his name is going to be Marcus after my grandfather

Both of you: thank you, as mushy as it is that means a lot to me

"Knox, even if Josie wanted to name him Knox, I wouldn't allow her to," I said with a laugh.

"Oh come on. I'm awesome, it seems only right your nephew is named after me," Knox replied.

"Even better if his name is Knox Devin. Best of both worlds, am I right? Okay, my brother is waiting for me. Bye," Devin answered before racing over to the senior parking lot.

Me and Knox walked to my car. We've been riding with each other ever since we got our licenses. "So, Måneskin or Corpse?" I asked.

"Oh man, I haven't heard Måneskin in forever. Play Somebody Told Me."

I blasted Somebody Told Me, per Knox's request, and we jammed out to Måneskin until we got to his house. "You know, every time I come to your house I expect to see the pornographic statue gone and it never is," I joked.

"I swear to God, I don't know why my parents thought it was a good idea to have a large statue with a penis the size of Canada smack dab in our front yard." Knox rolled his eyes and got out. I followed him inside.

"Okay. My sister is gonna be home soon, but for right now the house is to ourself. Penelope doesn't come on Wednesday's, as you might remember. So, we probably want to do the stupidest activity we were planning on doing. Then when my sister gets home we'll study so she doesn't snitch on me," Knox explained.

"Makes sense. We're gonna go swimming, right? I understand that isn't exactly stupid but I really wanna go swimming."

"Sure. Why not?"

We changed into swim trunks and went to his indoor pool. In his usual fashion, Knox went down the slide. I used the stairs. "Thanks for getting me soaked before I went underwater," I murmured.
