“I can’t stop looking at it.” Jason said. “It looks just like an Apple watch.”

“Sort of.” Chris replied. He rotated his wrist to get a better look. “Siri?” He laughed.

“The only person you can reach on that is Sheriff McAbee.” Jason said, picking up the dice. He paused before letting them drop. “Did you do it? Did you hack Principal Houser’s Facebook page and post those videos of him and that child?”

A silence ensued.

Chris had become quite the tech guru over the years, once enrolling every student at his school in Honor’s classes, an obvious suspect. He pleaded not guilty, was sentenced to house arrest, and given a bracelet to track his whereabouts, born without legs, an ankle monitor wasn’t an option.

“And if I did it?” Chris asked his best friend.

“The man killed himself because of those posts!” Jason tossed the dice, one landing on the edge of the table nearly falling into Chris’s lap.

“It’s a two.” Chris stared at the die then rolled it between his fingers. “If I did?” He questioned Jason again.

Jason shrugged his shoulders, continuing with the game.

“This is no admission but how do you feel knowing Mr. Houser did that to a child? Who knows how many times or how many others! The child’s face was blurred out, but he needed to be seen by every member of this community!” Chris pounded his fist against the table before collecting all the dice in his hand.

“I’m just saying, he is dead because of this!” Jason replied.

Chris tossed the dice high in the air, letting them fall to the ground. “YAHTZEE!” He shouted. “See yourself out! A friend of my enemy is my enemy, no matter how you roll the dice! Game and immoral friendship – over!”
