He was trying to sound tough, but in all honesty, he wasn't sure he'd be able to hold out for long if he factored in that he might have to drink more of it than she did. Just to be tough, you know? He ran his fingers through his hair nervously. During the summer, he'd let it grow a bit, particularly his sideburns. He figured a new look for school was in order, and he sort of liked how he looked with this haircut.
