Monday morning came around and He Tian headed to school on the train with all the other office drones and sleepy school commuters.  He didn't mind having to go by train everyday, it felt like there was no way in hell that his Uncle would appear in the carriage.  It  was a safe haven, the one place he felt he could relax and switch off his brain.

    Tian's phone chimed and when he looked at it he saw it was their group chat.

    Momo:  You awake?

    HE TIAN:  Yeah, on my way, the place I am staying at is a lot further out than my apartment.

    JIAN YI:  You moved?!

    HE TIAN:  Just a temporary thing, while I get some work done at my apartment.

    JIAN YI:  Who are you staying with?

    HE TIAN:  My brother.

    Zhan Xi:  Shut up, you're all keeping me awake.

    JIAN YI:  Xixi stop sleeping and get to school!

    Zhan Xi:  You idiot I'm sleeping on the train, or I was until my phone started going fucking crazy with message notifications.

    HE TIAN:  You're such a grumpy old man Zhan Xi, you even put Momo to shame.

    Momo:  I'm not grumpy, I just have a low tolerance for He Tian bullshit.

    JIAN YI:  Haha!  You do have this insane ability to rub people up the wrong way He Tian.

    Zhan Xi:  Says the most annoying asshole ever.

    JIAN YI:  Xixi you're supposed to be on my side now that we're dating!

    Zhan Xi:  Says the most annoying asshole ever.

    Momo:  We can both agree on one thing Zhan Xi.

    Zhan Xi:  Yeah, we do have annoying boyfriends.  There should be a school club we can attend, to get advice on dealing with them.

    Momo:  Yes, even I would attend that every day, after school.

    Zhan Xi:  Me too.

    JIAN YI:   You're both fucking hilarious.

    HE TIAN:  Zhan Xi you can't attend 'Annoying Boyfriends' club, you have 'Caring for your Pet' club with me every afternoon.  It's very time consuming looking after our little kitties, we need advice on proper care and discipline.

    Zhan Xi:  Yes, I find sharing our experiences and swapping information very beneficial.

    JIAN YI:  You guys get to play with cats in your club?  Can I join too???  I like kitties a lot!

    Zhan Xi:  .........

    HE TIAN:  I seriously feel for you dude.

    Zhan Xi:  I know.

    Momo:  It wouldn't be Monday without you yanking Jian Yi's chain He Tian.

    HE TIAN:  Don't tell him Momo!

    JIAN YI:  Tell me what?

    Zhan Xi:  Its okay, you just continue being you, never change.

    JIAN YI:  Oookkkaaaay?

    HE TIAN:  See you at school.

    JIAN YI:  He Tian, you would tell us if you were in trouble wouldn't you?

    HE TIAN:  Sure thing, I will run and tell you guys immediately if I need you.

    Zhan Xi:  You're such a sarcastic dick.  We're just worried about you, it's allowed, we are your friends.
