C'mon Chris! How many times have we had this conversation?! And it's always with the same starter pack: it's over boo fuckin hoo!
They were literally the most annoying couple in the world, they were always like break up make up break up make up over and over again.
"Please Chris, cut the crap! We had this conversation like zillion times" I said
"Fuck you Nick I'm serious! This time is not like the others!" Shouted Chris
"So you have told like 10 times before" I said laughing.
"You know what? I shouldn't have called you" said Chris
Then I realized he was really serious.
"Fine, tell me what's wrong? Obviously you and Nora fought, that's nothing new" I said
"We didn't just fight Nick" said Chris
"Then what?" I said
"We broke up, once and for all" said Chris
"I've heard that before, Chris" I said
"Well, yes you have, but have I ever told you that I saw them together?" Said Chris
"Oh.. Now you have my attention, tell me what happened" I said
"We were at school, and I saw them coming out together from the gym" said Chris
"ARE YOU FUCKIN KIDDING ME?!! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM IF THEY WERE TOGETHER AT THE GYM?! MAYBE IT'S A FUCKIN P.E CLASS!!" I screamed
Surprisingly Chris didn't shout back at me and just said quietly those five words that dropped my jaw wide open "The gym was closed, Nick"
Both of were silent for like a minute then I cleared my throat and said "Umm.. So what do you wanna do?"
"Nothing, absolutely nothing" said Chris calmly.
"Nothing? How's that even possible? You never do nothing, Chris"
"Well everything starts somewhere my friend" said Chris
"But Chris the prom is just a few days away" I said
"What's that got to do with anything?" Asked Chris
"You know.. You and Nora planned to all that couples stuff" I said
"She can do all that stuff with her pimp" said Chris
"Okay, but are you sure there's nothing you want to say about this whole thing? I mean you are really calm, I never saw you like that before" I said
"Nick, there's nothing to say, You always told me I deserved someone better, but I was stupid to see that" said Chris
"Does she even know that you saw her?" I asked
"No. She's been calling me for two days and texting me about the prom, but I don't answer or reply" said Chris
"Shit! You know that she will turn to me, right?" I said
"I know" said Chris
"What do you want me to tell her?" I asked
"Just be yourself, and that will shut her up" said Chris
"What do you mean?" I asked
"Don't think I'm stupid, Nick. You never liked her" said Chris
I laughed at that. it's true, I never liked that hoe.
"Okay Chris, I'll deal with her" I said
"Enough about me, what did you do with all that Emma thing?" Asked Chris
"I dunno man, I'm still planning with Sophie" I said
"Just hook up with that girl already man" said Chris
"I'm trying you stupid ass" I said
"Not Emma, I mean with Sophie" said Chris
"Have you been drinking?" I asked
"C'mon man I'm not joking" said Chris laughing
"Shut up, now you're being stupider than usual" I said
"What's wrong with that, Nick?" Asked Chris
"Try hooking up with your sister then see what's wrong" I said
"But.. she's not your sister" said Chris
"She's like a sister to me. you know what? Just shut up" I said
"Okay okay fine, what's up with your score and shit?" Asked Chris
"Still not yet available" I said
"Classic Nickolas Owen, the most unfortunate human being on planet earth" said Chris laughing
"Thanks man, you made me feel much better you prick, I'm really unfortunate to have a friend like you" I said
"Yeah yeah, I love you too, I'll see you later" said Chris
"Later" I said

I sat there for a moment thinking of the irony that never could've happened except movies or something, I mean.. me and my cousin had the exact same experience, firstly my heart was broken by a hoe, now it's his turn to have his heart broken.. by a hoe too. it seems like it's something in our family, our genes, we're only attracted to hoes.

Then my phone buzzed.
It was Sophie on iMessage.

Sophie: hey there
Nick: hey beautiful :D
Sophie: someone's is in a good mood today
Nick: yeah.. I just woke and realized how lucky I am to have a friend like you in my life
Sophie: yeah yeah I'm lucky to have me in my life too :p
Nick: okay cocky girl, what's up with our big plan?
Sophie: I met Emma in the club..
Nick: and?
Sophie: we had a conversation..
Nick: ENOUGH WITH THE SUSPENSE, BITCH!!
Sophie: Hahahahahahahaha. fine, I have some bad news
Nick: you never have good ones. do you?
Sophie: you're the unlucky one, what can I do?
Nick: okay, spill
Sophie: I think she's dating someone..
Nick: I know that you *think* but I want to know for sure
Sophie: I told you before that I'm not that close to her to talk with her about her personal life
Nick: no, you are but you just don't want to
Sophie: fine grumpy baby, I'll talk to her again
Nick: Fine.

Five minutes of silence, then my phone buzzed.

Sophie: bonjour
Nick: bonjour mademoiselle
Sophie: you missed me?
Nick: soph, we were talking like five minutes ago
Sophie: I'm bored, Nick
Nick: so am I
Sophie: I have to ask you something, Nick
Nick: shoot
Sophie: do you even love Emma?
Nick: I have no idea what love is, or how it works, or how I am supposed to feel when I love someone
Sophie: what?!! You're 18 and never loved any girl?
Nick: no, I did once when I was 13 and it lasted till I was 15 then the game was over
Sophie: do you wanna talk about it?
Nick: not really
Sophie: okay
Nick: okay soph I gotta go
Sophie: okay talk to you later

Seriously Soph?! You had to bring this shitty thing up now? With all that crap going on with Chris?
If I came across that bitch Nora, I'm gonna kill her.

Then my phone buzzed.
It was bitch-Nora direct message on Twitter

Nora: hey nick, have you talked to Chris recently?

Oh god! Have mercy!
I have a life to live, not to bring this couple together.
Here we go again..
