fang

1 Every time the phone rang, I prayed it would be Faith, feared it would be Fang—bawling, rope in hand—but it never was; it was Astelle, always Astelle.

2 When the CD ended, Fang exited the spa, hit me with a killer look, dove for cover under the red velvet and snapped off the rickety lamp between the beds.

3 Fang brushed his Steven Tyler hair out of his eyes so we could get a good look at each other.

4 Fang slid into the back seat and gave me a careful nod that I didn’t return.

5 Fang was naked now, his hands resting on his narrow hips, his elbows wide.

6 Only my hand against the rock and Fang’s hands on my shoulders kept me from falling.

7 I don’t know how I hopped on my board, how my foot found the pavement again and again, how I wheeled right up to the death scene with Fang, pretending I didn’t have a clue.

8 Harry bellowed, fighting off Fang the boarhound’s attentions as the enormous bearded figure clambered to his feet.

9 I could never make it more than a quarter of the way up, but it didn’t take long before Fang could shimmy to the top.

10 I gave Ted a sideways look, one I’d learned from Fang, and nodded.

11 From the comfort of the passenger seat, I watched Fang slouch up his front walk, the battered Converse box pinched under his arm.

12 Fang must have trampled the box on the way up, because when I put it on the seat beside him, its dented lid was the only thing holding the whole cardboard mess together.

13 Coming across the room, Fang looked scrawnier and more heroine-junkie-ish than ever.

14 It had been my mom who’d insisted I hook up with Fang when she’d called from the airport the night before.

15 Either way, thoughts of Faith and Fang and Astelle and how I’d just been slain outside by a single note seemed distant, muted by the church’s shadowy stillness and the Pastor’s lingering calm.

16 A couple of years ago Fang and I had put the rock on our list of Michigan must-climbs, and not only because of its height.

17 Harry could smell burnt wood and dog hair; he put out a hand and felt Fang’s reassuringly warm and alive body quivering beside him.

18 Still, the next day, right after my mom quit her job at the bank, she did go over to see Fang.

19 Miss Fang,we've got some water but we need some paints.

芳小姐，我们有一些水，但是我们需要一些油漆。

20 “Yeah, maybe. Fang usually only smokes pot. He’s done acid a couple times. And Ecstasy. And shrooms. And Special K.”
