Evo

"Bro, if the theory of (blabbed something that sounded German) upholds, would you still want to live in this world?" Jason asked. Obviously the guy is already wasted. From laughing maniacally moments ago, he's now in his drunk, evil genius phase. It's quite common knowledge that Jason is a "genius" because he manages to top his exams without even reviewing. Heck, he's the laziest person I know. And that doesn't even stop him from being a University Scholar. Just crazy. It drives Justin crazy.

"No, man. You're making that up." Justin argued. A kontra bulate as per usual.

Jason slapped him with irrefutable facts and asked me this time. "Your thoughts, E to the V to the O?"

"Probably." I laughed, nodding at him. Justin pouted like a baby. Jason smirked in his drunken state. Normally he wouldn't act all smart and nerdy, unless he's in class and the professor antagonizes him. He's either so drunk or Justin annoyed him. Man, my friends are really amusing me right now. Or am I drunk too?

I watched our other friends do their own thing as I sipped from my cup. Daryl, the birthday boy, was across from me. He's still sober like me, kinda, and he checks his phone every two minutes. Probably texting his clingy girlfriend. He just ignored Anton who asked him something about Cheetos. My roommate, on the other hand, is immersed in the fun facts and is being obsessive.

"Dude, I'm gonna throw that phone in the pool. Will you stop texting her?" Anton said, throwing a piece of Cheetos at Daryl. He's a bit tipsy because he's also gradually becoming aggressive.

I joined Justin in agreeing with Anton. Jason was still mumbling about this theory I've never heard of in my life, but I reckon it exists.

"Okay, okay. I'm saying good night. Geez, it's my birthday and by the way she's mad at you guys for making tonight a guys' night out." Daryl said with a pointed look.

"Well, it's because of her, you idiot. We barely go out." Anton answered.

"Nica's a total needy girlfriend." Daryl shrugged. As if he was saying she only has one foot and he cannot do anything about it.

"Evo and Jax have been together longer than you two, but we still see him once a week." Justin pointed out. Daryl looked at me pleadingly.

"Guys, take it easy. It's Da's birthday, alright? And he ditched Nica for us. Give him a little credit." I said, being neutral and unbiased right now.

"Fine." Anton and Justin groaned.

I agree with the two morons but I see where Daryl is coming from. I used to have a girlfriend who went kinda psycho on me when we were together. And I know that Daryl loves Nica. The third moron may be the bulkiest among us, but he follows his girlfriend like a loyal puppy.

Finally they have moved on. The guys were now talking about Justin's lack-of-lovelife. Or "girl action," as Anton had put it. I laughed with them as Justin swore at us.

"Gago. I'd rather be single. I don't want to be a manwhore like someone I know!" He cried, looking at Anton directly.

"Aw, bro. Sakit nun ah." Anton sneered, even patting his chest as if Justin had shot his heart.

"Oh, man. Don't you have this admirer? Remember that post on The Elbi Files?" Daryl asked, who can't seem to contain his laughter.
