A Very Pink Mistake

CHAPTER 1 : The Motif

    Santiago was sitting alone at the corner of the living room as the party goes on wild. It was a midnight party at his friends place Ryan Morphy. Usually this would mean a great time to let go of your wild side, but for Santiago it was the usual boring day with no "special partner". He only had a few friends, Ryan was one of them. He was a  tall ( around 6'4" ), fit, blonde white guy whom you can expect to see at every party on existance. They both go waaaayy back. They went to the same schools , same collages and now they live in the same block at the same flat. Ryan is now a succesfull lawyer and very very rich.

   Santiago on the other hand was an average guy. Correction, he was THE AVERAGE GUY. average height ( 6 feet  ), average intellegence, and averagely rich. This olive skin tonned, black haired, 20 year old blogger has always been average at everything he does studies, work, life in general. But there was one thing in which he is not average GIRLS. He was definetly not average in that. He sucks at getting girls. Even the geeky, fat guys at collage are now paired up with hot cosplaying girls. Santiago has never been in a relationship in 5 years. It always bummed him out but today it had an overwhelming toll on him.

   He was just sitting alone on the couch vibing to the music when Ryan came up to him. Ryan noticed thay Santiago was kind of depressed. He sat next to him and began talking....

   " You know you don't have to be a bummer and you could as someone to have fun with.." Ryan told Santiago. 

   " Yeah I know, it's just that everytime I ask someone out or find them hot, I usually end up as their friends. I just figured it would not hurt if I did not try." Santiago replied.

   " Come on man, that's not true how about Raven over there." said Ryan as he pointed towards the woman at the end of the room. She was around the same height as Santiago and was dressed up very Emo. Even her short undercut blue hair screamed Emo.

   " You asked her out last week and you said that it was a wonderful experience." Ryan continued.

  Santiago glared and said,

 " I did have a wonderful experience. Yeah. I have never went out with a lesbian before." 

   After a brief moment of tought, Ryan  just ran his hand across his face and looked at Santiago for a while.

  " Well that makes sense. How did I not know that."

  " Yeah imagine my socially awkward ass after learning about that when I was moving in for a kiss."

  " Ouch..."

  " Let's face it. I'm never going to get a girlfriend. neither am I going to get laid." Santiago said in a rather sad tone.

   Ryan was shocked. He knew that his friend never had a girlfriend but he did'nt know that he was this desprate and depressed. Ryan gave a long sigh and asked Santiago to follow him to his private room.

   " Dude no offense but I don't swing that way." said Santiago. To which Ryan laughed and consulted him that it is nothin like that.

   They went to his 'private room', which was just his workplace. There was a computer desk, a cupboard filled with files, and a few more cupboard with some weird furniture. It was a typicall 'lawyers work area'. Santiago sat down on a moving chair while Ryan searched for something in one of his cupboards. After 5 minutes of searching, Ryan found a golden circular coin which had a wierd face engraved on it. Santiago took it and looks closer for a better look. There was something writen around it. After some time Santiago made out the words as 'Unum vis cupiditatis'. Whatever it meant.

   " This is something I got from one of my clients. After I mentioned that I don't have a girlfriend, he gave me this and said that I wouldnt have to worry about finding a partner if I make a wish apon this. I never used it since I pretty much get laid everydsy. If your as desprate as I think you are, use this to create yourself a girlfriend or something. Just give it a shot. Even if it does'nt have a 'magic' attribute it would still help build your confidence." said Ryan.

   " Yeah sure.... I better get going now. I just feel like being alone right now" replied Santiago.

   " Ouh... ok then. Just try using the coin. I mean it's not like your losing something. Right..."

   " Yeah. Whatever." said Santiago.

    Ryan stuck around in his own room while Santiago made his way back to his apartment. He was even more sad now. He could'nt stop thinking about the fact that even his best friend doubted his love life. He reached his house 6 floors down and before entering his apartment he sighed. He opened the door which led him to his 1 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1 workroom apartment. It might not be Ryan's penthouse but this was more than enough for him.
