Angston High

The Odd Couple

Cody Christian as Adam

My life used to be so simple. Hang out with Alex and Jade. Go about my school days in the background, whack off to the occasional dream guy......... But is it like that anymore? Ah, yes. Only I had less time to whack off and more time to think. Think about how Adam actually talked to me. That was my happiest memory. But then again, I also had to deal with that son of a bitch, Gino. Working on that damn project with the guy id only referred to as capital J.A. (jack-ass) went horribly yesterday. I figure there's really only one way to describe what happened. EVERYTHING that happened yesterday. From horrible start, to horrible finish.......... 3:55 p.m., yesterday "Fine. Lets go. And just so were clear, I really don't like you," I replied. "Good, I don't like you either," Gino replied smugly. I really didn't like him. What kind of person profusely insults you, which is more embarrassing than harmful, and then tries to act as though it never happened? I imagined not many people liked Gino. Only, I spoke too soon. "Hey Gino, Brandon," Krystal, one of Jades friends, greeted us. I knew how she knew Jade. They shared at least 4 classes together and both shared the same personality traits, sort of. But how in the hell did she know Gino? "Krystal. Was up?" Gino asked. "Nothing much. Okay well I'm having a back to school kinda-party this weekend. Think you can make it?" Krystal said with a look that said more than a thousand different things. Gino looked her over and seemed to be in a thought process. No doubt trying to decide whether or not she was good enough to fuck. "I'll see what I can do," Gino replied. I cleared my throat loudly. "Oh, sorry Brandon. I figured Jade already told you. But you're invited too," Krystal added. Oh yeah. Tell me last. Gino gave me a weird look. One that said "I guess that means I'm not going" Krystal walked off while I carefully tried to sneak away from Gino. "I can't believe she invited you. YOU," Gino said as if her inviting me was the most shocking thing in the world. He wasn't serious was he? Then again, it was J.A. "So shall we go?" he quickly tried changing subjects. "What's it gonna take to get you to do this alone. Twenty bucks?" I asked. I really didn't want to let Alex down. I knew he'd always wanted to make the varsity football team. Our varsity team hadn't lost a game in 15 years. I wanted to be there while my friend was a part of that, even if I didn't make the cut. (more like, when I didn't make the cut) Plus would I really want to pass up a chance to see Adam in tight football pants? "Not like I know all there is about the very interesting Brandon Jameson," Gino yawned, sarcastically. "Not that there's probably much to learn anyway. Your idea of the perfect Friday night is probably curling up in front of the fire watching Will and Grace," Gino joked. How in the hell did he know that? I usually watch it while I'm taking a luxuriating bubblebath- fuck I am SO gay... "Well cause of you, I'm missing out on one of the most important days of my life. But does it matter? Not to...you," I said very stately. Gino looked as if he'd been told the same thing many times before in his life. Unfazed somewhat. "Oh I'm sorry that the unimportant nerd is missing chess club right now. There's always computer club,"Gino replied. I just hoped Alex would understand. I really wanted to be there. REALLY!!!

Alex looked around for Brandon. Where was he? He was just supposed to be putting some stuff in his locker. That really wasn't supposed to take that long. He decided to just put Brandon out of his mind for now. If he showed up great. But if he didn't, well he couldn't be mad at him. "Thinking heavy?" Adam surprised Alex. Alex snapped back to reality and glanced around. He suddenly remembered where he was. In the locker room with all the other guys. "Huh? Oh yeah, I was just uh just waiting for someone," Alex replied. Adam started pulling on his Lycra. "It wouldn't by any chance be that dork Brandon you hang around with would it?" he asked. "Hey come on dude. He's not a dork. He just isn't really good with people," Alex defended me. Adam chuckled. "I just don't get it. You're so cool you know. And Jade, may be a little uh, well you know, but she's fucking hot. But Brandon, he's lame. It's like he has no idea that no one but you and Jade like him," he replied. Alex couldn't get mad at Adam. Only because Adam was right. That was somewhat true. "Well," Adam said putting on his helmet. "Good luck" Alex sighed, put on his helmet, and headed for the field.
