Not Only Friends

Episode 1: The Party

Not Only Friends the Series

Episode 1:

It is Friday night in Bangkok. Outside of a large and immaculately landscaped house, three young men arrive for a house party. They are Mew, Boston, and Ray. Before they walk in, Mew's cell phone rings. It is a call from his mother. He sends the call to voicemail.

Ray (in a sing-song voice):

Awww! Little Mew's mother is calling to check on her little baby boy.

Boston laughs.

Mew:

Shut up. She's just checking up on me.

Boston:

Like she does every night?

Mew (Exasperated):

Shut up! Let's just go inside. You guys wanted to come, right? (To Boston) And remember: you can't bring anybody back to the apartment, okay? (Teasingly) Keep your whores outside our doors!

Mew and Ray laugh as Boston flips them off.

Boston:

Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Ray (to Mew):

You know he can't keep his dick in his pants.

Boston rolls his eyes.

Mew (to Ray):

And you, sir, try not to get too wasted tonight.

Boston (to Ray):

I'm not carrying your ass home again.

Mew:

My back still hurts from carrying you last week.

Ray (scoffs):

We live like a mile away. We can easily get a cab for less than 200 baht or I can call a driver.

Boston:

Then you pay for it, rich boy!

Ray (annoyed):

Whatever! Let's go!

Inside the party, the trio are drinking together. Boston sees a guy he is attracted to, so he excuses himself from his friends. He approaches the guy, whispers in his ear, and Boston and the guy begin to make out. Ray and Mew shake their heads and laugh as they watch Boston and the guy kissing.

Ray (to Mew):

I gotta pee. I'll be right back.

Ray walks away from Mew. He walks up to a guy and taps his shoulder. The guy turns around and smiles when he sees Ray. They whisper back and forth in each other's ears. The guy puts a small baggy in Ray's hands and takes the money. Ray smiles and walks away. He finds an empty bathroom and goes in. A few moments later, Ray comes out of the bathroom smiling. As he's walking away, he bumps into a good-looking guy. They check each other out and smile.
