"Oh, that's embarrassing," I muttered, looking away.

"What does 'H2o daddy-o' even mean?" asked Angel.

I looked over at Husk. He was in the middle of an existential crisis.

"Uh..." I started. "When I was in sixth grade, I decided that I would reword every common phrase I could think of. That... um... I was essentially calling him 'moist daddy', but with... synonyms?"

Husk groaned and walked away. Angel laughed and sat next to me.

"You know what you should do? Just-"

"I don't take advice from you," I said, holding my finger to his lips.

"Hey! I'm not a bad guy!" he said.

"I do not associate with your kind."

"What, you don't like spiders?"

"No," I said, shaking my head. "Spiders are cool. I don't take advice from thots."

He looked at me, clearly confused.

"Thot is slang for slut. I don't associate myself with sluts."

"I see.  Well, if you ev-"

"I am going to stop you right there," I said, sliding away from him.

"I didn't even get to finish!"

I tried suppressing a laugh but failed.

"I think that's called 'blue balling'," I said, smiling. "And I don't care what you say, I don't want to hear it."

"That's too bad," he said. "I know a way to make Husk fall in love with you."

"Uh, what? W-why would I want that?" I asked, trying to stay as calm as possible.

"Oh, I've seen the way you look at him," he said with a grin.

'Fuck, fuck, fuck. Why me?'

"I... I don't know what you're talking about."

Angel shook his head and laughed.

"You totally like him. I can see it in your eyes."

"I don't like him! That's stupid and gross!" I exclaimed, crossing my arms and glaring.

"Sure, you don't," he said. He got up and left, laughing to himself. I couldn't help but wonder...

Is he right?
