----

Today was the day, apparently. Ash was starting to regret this decision more and more by the second.

He closed his laptop. He hoped Squiddo would be an okay emotional support person. Never mind. She probably wouldn't be much help in this situation. Why did he even invite her? He fell on his bed as the time passed.

But it only passed ever so slowly. He let out another dramatic sigh. How long has it been? He should take a bath. Should he? Nah. Maybe at the very least some deodorant, he's still got a sliver of decency.

He subconsciously threw on an outfit as he heard a knock on his room's door. Fuck, was it already time?

'Alright, wait,' he muttered, walking out and fighting the urge to punch his not-so innocent roommate in the face.

'We goin' now?' Red asked, tilting his sunglasses down. His mask and sunglasses basically covered up his entire face. Ash stared at him.

'The fuck you mean "we goin' now?"' Ash half-yelled, making a passable imitation of Red's voice. 'I thought you were making the call!'

'Relax, I'm just asking if you're ready,' replied Red. Ash rolled his eyes. 'Let's go?'

Red took his roommate's hand and began dragging him down the campus towards a car.

Ash noticed two other people looking at Red.

'I'm going to kill you in your sleep. Fuck you,' he glared at Red, who promptly ignored him.

'Hi Red,' someone had said, approaching him. Red nodded in response to Branzy, signaling for them to get in. There was another person beside him. They looked like yin and yang with their hair.

A short while later, Ash learned his name was Branzy and that the other was called Clown.

Wait, who would name their child Clown? Branzy was somewhat unique and passable, but-

Ash was forced into shotgun. Red was driving. The other two were at the back. All of them didn't know Red had a driving license.

'Are you sure we won't get arrested?' Branzy repeated, slightly worried for his own well-being.

'For the last time, Branzy, yes,' Red sighed, starting the engine. This is going to be a long ride, for Ash at least. Worried for his own safety, and because he did not want to die early, he buckled his seatbelt and hoped for the best.

'What the fuck is wrong with you,' Ash said, under his breath, as Red drove over some potholes. More muttered insults were uttered as Red's driving skills were quite subpar the entire trip.

As their destination came closer, Ash already wanted everything to end. The chattering of the other three made him want to disappear and wish he was never there. Worst of all, he recalled Squiddo going to bring someone else.
