Novel & Cerita The Goonies Chunk Meets The Fratellis

Jon went to see. A large crowd had gathered around, looking and mocking. Vinnie Gabbaducci had the half-naked boy on the ground and was straddled across his chest, battering him about the head and neck. His hook-nosed butt-buddies, Carlo Abandanzo and Gino Giordino, were right behind the bully, egging him on, taking mock shots in the air. The sight of blood excited them to frenzy.

It was their special place. Lauren raced past the Imperial drive-in on the outskirts of town. They were showing a double feature—The Goonies and Cocoon. The wide lot was littered with rubbish from the night before—empty popcorn cups, candy wrappers, cigarette butts. Sometimes Lauren helped Mr. Harper, the owner, clean up the lot in exchange for $10 and a free ticket for her and Miranda to that night’s show, but she’d already seen The Goonies twice and Miranda said Cocoon was about old people so they never stayed for the second feature.
