What comes after (THE ONE)

Looming back from last night's still fresh wounds, Brian looked around him to find he was the last customer at the café.

The Roosted Bean was completely deserted. Julie was long gone. Her shift had ended a while back.

Well, I guess I'm back to square one!

I still have you at least, my vigorously blunt, otherwise unorthodox self-awareness/self-conscious.

God! That's a long-ass name. I should just call you Selfy instead.

"Yeah, as if!"

"I don't hang, nor chill with doofuses like you!"

Give me a break! I'm heartbroken here!

"So what! Get your fat ass out of here, and find us another hot, sexy guy."

"Bash isn't the only one on campus."

"I Guarantee it!"

But Sebastian was ("The One.")

"The One," hehe.

"Don't you remember what that crazy, sl*** mother of ours always said?"

Umm...

Ohhh, You mean...

"Exactly!"

(Brian, You know what comes after "The One," the next one.)

"I don't usually agree with her otherwise, unquestionable stupidity, but credit must be given where it's due."

"The tramp certainly hit the nail on the head with that one!"

Hahaha

Can you be blunter, God!

She still is our mother, you know?

"Please!"

But, you're, I mean I'm right... Jesus, I'm in deep need of a "Shrink"!

After his little one on one with Selfy, Brian's mood got somewhat better. Nevertheless, he still decided to go back to his room...

Even if Mara's to a limited extent/degree, unconventional wisdom was up to a point.

The aftermath of last night was making Brian's heart throbbed.

When he got to his room, which was dark and gloomy, it virtually resembling his depressed emotions. Brian shot the door and, when straight to bed.

Hours later:

A knock woke him up.

Who on earth can it be?

"Maybe friends."

Who's friends

"Yours"

Ha, hilarious, sarcasm, You sure know how to hit a guy while he's down.

"Always a pleasure!"

Brian made a sour face and got up to open the door. He didn't even bother checking out who it might be.

However, when he opened the door, a bright, stunning smile welcomed him.

Hey, you.

Ready to have some fun!

Brian arched a brown.

Oh... it's You.

Well, Someone in a mood.

"That's for sure!"

"Selfy!"Please don't start now!"

Lexy, why are you here? And how did you even get my address?

Please! Like it would be that hard for a beauty like me.

"She does have a point."

"SHUT IT!"

"Okay! Okay! There no need to shout."

They stood there in awkward silence.

So...

So what?

Didn't you hear me before? Let's have some fun; it's Saturday.

No, I did, I just don't think--

Before Brian could finish, Lexy cut in.

I know that yesterday didn't end quite how we wanted to but...

But nothing, Bash has a girlfriend, and I'm over him!

This time it was Brian who didn't let her finish.

Oh please, after all those beautiful things you said about him last night.

I find that immensely hard to believe.

Brian's ears were getting so hot; he was actually able to feel them.

Believe what you want, but as I said, I'm over him.

Lexy could only frown at his comment.

"Who does he think he's fooling."

Anyways, we didn't come here to talk about my brother. We came to get you out of this gloomy cave. You call a room.

God knows you need it!

"Burn!"

"Didn't I tell you to shut up!"

"May..be, I don't recall."

"Jesus!"

I'm perfectly fine. Thank you very much! My cave, as you call it, it's....wait did you just say We?

"She sure did, you doofus hehehe."

"Omg is Bash here too!"

Lexy could see the terror on his face.

So she quickly palled the guy next to her by the arm, and into Brian's view.

This is Pete. He's Bash's best friend.

Boom!!

Hey dude!

Brian's jaw fully dropped.

D... did you just heard all that?

Sure did!

Pete responded with a mischievous grin.

God, kill me now!

Dude, don't sweat it, I'm totally down with the gay.

Yeah, cause that's the issue here!

Don't worry. I won't tell my boy Bash your crashing on him.

You've got good taste, I'll give you that.

Pete said with a wink.

I... I don't even....

"He's hot!"

"Can we have him?"

"Can you kip it in your pans, his bash's best, freaking friend."

"So!"

"I give up. Your hopeless."

"And you're a doofus didn't we talked about getting ourselves (the next one.)"

"Whatever I AM NOT GETTING INTO PETE'S PANS."

"What a doofus!"

Come on, take a shower, and get change; time waits for no one.

I haven't even agreed to this!

So what?

We're already here. You might as well just give up and come with us.

You heard the lady.

I...

Pete cut in before he could protest.

You're not going to win this argument.

"Just go with them; you might enjoy yourself."

You're just saying that, cause you want to spend time with Pete!

"Guilty!"

Okay, I give up, give me fifteen minutes.

Yayyyy!!

Okay! Okay! Chill out, girl.

Sorry, we'll wait out here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twenty minutes later, Brian was finally done getting ready.

Okay, guys, I'm ready. Where are we going?

It's a surprise.

Said Lexy grinning from ear to ear.

"Jesus! Another doofus."

Come on, just tell me I hate surprises.

You won't hate this one, I promise.

Brian looked at her incredulously.

The three of them walked for half an hour. There were lots of people in the street at this hour.

Kids were grinning and jumping happily for some reason.

"Where are we going?"

When they finally arrived, Brian couldn't believe it.

An amusement park!

You have got to be kidding me, right!

Oh, come on, this is totally fun!

Yeah, if we were 8-year-olds. See those two; they look like they have an insane sugar rush.

Brian's right, like what the hell!

This totally blows!

I thought we were going to. I don't know a bar or something.

Lexy felt hurt.

You guys are big time, party poopers no sense of wonder what so ever.

And you have way too much!

Shut it, Pete, you---

Suddenly, Lexy's phone ringed.

Can you guys give me a sac? It's probably Bash.

Brian frowned.

Sure.

Whatever!

So I finally meet the famous Brian, huh.

What do you mean?

How am I famous all of a sudden?

Bash told me about the other day how he helped you.

Seriously!

"Omg, he's hotter up close."

"Selfy calm down!'

Yup!

I wanted to meet you ever since.

I guess I was curious about the person who made the annoyingly punctual Sebastian Wiggins to be actually late for once.

I... I don't. Are you serious?

Yup, the guy is never late.

He's an absolute goodie-goodie.

No, I mean, never mind.

Hahahha

Pete laughed out loud.

I'm messing with you. I know what you meant.

God, you're easy to mess with.

Brian's heart skipped a beat, and he turned vermillion.

Idiot!

Shut up!

"Someone is blushing; you like him."

"No! I Don't! "

"You're the one head over hills for that jerk."

"Doofus you do realize that I'm you right! If I like him, so do you."

"Ahhhhhh."

Why do you like him so much, anyway?

Pete interrupted his conversation with Selfy.

Other Than the obvious.

What I never--

Please!

Can we just don't talk about him?

Sure, whatever.

Guys, I'm sorry, but I have to go.

What??

Brian didn't expect that.

"So.. does this mean."

"Don't you dare say it! "

"We're going to have Pete all to ourselves!"

Noooooo!

What the hell, Lexy! You're the one who planned this whole thing in the first place.

I know I'm really sorry, boys, but it's extremely urgent. I wouldn't live otherwise.

You guys can still have fun without me, though.

I got to go, see yeah.

LEXY

WAIT...
