Story: The King Contract

Mack

EMERGENCY MEETING. Dan and King need to kiss and makeup.

Callum

Stop trying to fix everything. Let them sort it.

Mack

It’s been a week since camping. We haven’t surfed together once.

Callum

Everyone’s busy

Mack

Bullshit. It’s Christmas! Time for forgiveness.

I hate when mum and dad fight.

Dan

We’re not fighting.

Mack

Hooray!

Noah

He’s only saying that cos he promised my mum he’d be there for Christmas dinner, and he doesn’t want it to be awkward.

Dan

Mostly true.

Noah

Could never say you weren’t honest.

Dan

Well, I don’t lie.

Noah

Yes, you’re better than all of us.

Dan

Pull your head in.

Noah

Gotta keep it out so you can clean it up.

Callum

Definitely seems like they’re not fighting.

Mack

See what happens when you communicate as adults? SO GLAD IT’S FIXED.
