Lily and Dunkin

Lily wonders what Dunkin was about say about his dad, and part of her wishes he had a deep secret to share, too. As they go to leave, Lily can’t move as the chain saws dismantle Bob, but she feels the support of Dunkin and her family as they stand there and watch. 

Lily’s family takes Dunkin to breakfast, but Lily can’t eat. Alternatively, Dunkin, polishes off a huge breakfast and drinks five cups of coffee. Dunkin acts a bit strange and talks a mile a minute, so when they’re alone for a moment, Lily checks to make sure her secret is safe with him. Shocked, Dunkin assures her that she has nothing to worry about. Lily asks Dunkin if he’s going to the dance, and when Lily tells him that she’s definitely going, Dunkin agrees that he’ll go, too. Lily thinks that’s just perfect. 

Dunkin is starving and craving caffeine. While he eats, he thinks about Tim’s secret. He wonders if Vasquez calls Tim a fag because he looks like a girl, but Dunkin knows that fag isn’t the right term, and besides, he hates that word from when kids used to call him that. Dunkin realizes that he doesn’t really like Vasquez and the guys, though he figures he’ll have to get along with them through basketball season.
