“Hey, where were you last night?” Tay was standing at my bedroom doorway, arm’s crossed.
“I was out with my friends.” I said and went out to get aspirin.

My headache’s killing me.

“I know. I mean where exactly?”
“J’s Bar. What’s with the questions, dad?”

Thank you to the person who made Sundays, a no school day, at least for me, Mike and White have classes today but they would say no to a Saturday night out.

“I was there too but I didn’t see you. Anyway, Off wanted me to tell you this.” Tay showed me a message from Off.

Peng Off: to bother me
Tay: what

"What is he even saying?" Tay murmured to himself.

I read the message and smiled to myself. I only remember now what I said to him last night.

“Give me your phone.” I said to Tay. He gave it to me, without thinking.

I went to his contacts and memorize Off’s number then gave Tay his phone back.

“Tell Off, Gun said no. Gun is stubborn.” I told Tay, using my cute voice and smiled cutely. I know when to use this technique.
“Stop acting cute or I will pet you.” Tay said while pouting.

Tay and I have only been roommates for three months but we’re actually pretty close now. I know his boyfriend New, we’ve met. And Off too, his peng which is a Chinese endearment for best friend, if I remember it correctly. And he really likes to baby me. One thing I like about him; he makes me feel like I have a big brother.
