How to Blow a Fuse

By now, you should have heard a bottle smash. You notice the Perrier is still in Nick's hand. He quietly pulls it back inside—something about a $2,000 fine; "Write something tough," you think—and he holds it in the front seat all the way back to your house. When they finally drop you off, it is not yet 2 a.m.—not bad for a school night.

As you walk to your door, Nick hoists himself out the busted passenger window. "Hey," he says. "This is for you."

And he splatters the rest of the Perrier across the pavement.
