When Louis heard the story about the man, who supposedly got abducted by aliens, he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Oh my god, do the people around here actually believe that?”, he said and wiped his eyes in the sleeve of his denim jacket.
“Oh, my stomach hurts”

He finally got a hold of himself and stopped laughing.
“An lastly, I heard some of the kids who like ta fight an all started a tournament oh somethin right in the school's basement. Bettin money on each otha an all. I'm gonna check it out today ta see if its real aftah class today. Ya wanna come along for that?”
He looked at Lupe when she invited him to come along. He wrinkled his forehead and looked at the other students.
“I can’t believe there’s people who would do that.” He looked at her again and smiled before answering her. “I would like to come with you to check it out myself, but my house is still one big mess so I can’t”

“And about the whole family thing, you sound like you have it harder than me. I try not to think about it too much. New Coventry isn’t that bad, that’s where Dotty and her mother moved, the ones I told you about earlier. 4 jobs you say hmm must be tough. If you want a job just ask ok? i sometimes give a helping hand at a coffee shop, I could ask them if they want a new employee. You know, put in a good word for you?”
Louis said and glanced over at the food, which probably had seen better days.
