He slaps my arm. “Hey, let’s do something tonight?”
I wave to the books and papers sitting in front of me on the coffee table. “Seriously? I still have to study, go over these other forms for loans, and I want to finish the other applications I picked up today.”
“Other applications? Dude, you just got a call for an interview.”
“Yeah, but I want to be safe. It’s not like I just drop my dad’s name and get what I want now.”
He lifts his shoulders. “Yeah, I guess so.” He gets up from the couch, heading into the kitchen. “We got any frozen pizza left?”

“Hello?” Silence on the other end. Pulling the phone back, I see the call is still going. “Hello?”
“What’s up, Austin?”
“Uh … who is this?” The voice sounds familiar, but I can’t place it.
“A King.”
The word and voice finally hit me. “Maddox?”
“Got a minute to talk?”
