Taking a page from Peppers book, I had printed out a picture of one of my surfing idols and had taped it to my bedroom wall. Yeah, I knew when I was doing it that I’d probably get into trouble, but after the last conversation I had with Grandfather, I didn’t much care what his or anyone else’s rules were. I was done being unhappy and was going to start living my way, of course that was only hours before Jacquelyn and I broke up! But I’m over that now, kind of, and if being happy means hanging posters on my walls or running away to California to surf… well then that is what I am going to do.
When Grandfather had reached out for the wall to brace himself he had inadvertently ripped two of the pages that made up Jeremy Flores’s poster.
“Aw, Grandfather!” I grumbled, “You ruined it!”
