Gary found the door of Ash's apartment open when he got there. He walked in and closed the door with his foot as he was carrying a pack of beer.

Ash was lying down on the couch with the cushion on his face.

"What the f*ck is wrong with you?" Gary put the beer on the coffee table and grabbed a can. A few empty coffee goblets fell to the ground.

"I feel like a stuffed penguin." Ash moaned and lowered the waistband of his pants. He kicked the pizza boxes with his foot.

"I don't care as long as you don't fart on my face." Gary sat on the single sofa seat. He felt (once again) like he sat on a book and he grabbed the item from under him. "Oh, that's a new one."

Ash turned to look at him. "Serena gave me that."

"Serena?" Gary flipped through the book. "Serena who?"

"Yvonne." Ash turned on his side trying to look for a comfortable position.

"Wait, that stupid girl from high school?" Gary chuckled. "Can she even read and write?"

Ash let a moan and turned to sleep on his belly. He let his hand dangle from the couch.

"I guess that's a yes." Gary put down the book. "Now that I think of it, how come she graduated high school?"

"How come I did?" Ash spoke in a low voice.

"Misty helped you in senior year." Gary shrugged. "Serena didn't have someone to help her on senior year. How come she made it?"

"Maybe she is stupid, after all." Ash smirked. "That's an antiphrasis, by the way."

"Your literature sh*t makes my head hurt, so don't even." Gary shook his head and took a sip of the beer. "I will never get it."

"I feel like exploding..." Ash pulled down his waistband again.

"But wait." Gary sipped the beer again. "Whatever happened to that four eyes buttface who used to follow her around?"

"Huh?"

"You know, Clemosomething? The blond white guy? He liked Yvonne."

"I don't know this guy." Ash never heard about anything like this, maybe because he was barely involved in school life. He didn't even know the names of his classmates.

"He's short, wears glasses, skinny."

Ash let a heavy sigh and sat down slowly. He looked at Gary. "I'm never eating again."

"Stay away from me when you feel the fart coming." Gary grabbed another can of beer. "But say, don't you remember the Clemo-guy?"

"No..."

"He went around and told everyone he liked Serena. I think she avoided him or something." Gary cracked the can open. He smirked. "He messaged Paul for porn and he shared it with him."

"I worked hard to get the porn on Google Drive!" Ash frowned.

"Chill, Ash. He's a guy, a fella. He deserves we help him in his time of need." Gary slammed the can against the table. "Plus, who needs porn right now?"

"..."

"Need a cond-"

Ash whined.

"Anywaaaay..." Gary pulled out his phone to check if he's received any messages from Leaf. "Are you now friends with Serena? Exchanging and sharing books? Talking about authors?"

Ash hugged and cushion and sighed. "You can say that."

"She's cute."

"Uhm."

"What about Misty?"

Ash blinked. "What?"

Gary sipped the beer. "Knowing Misty, she'd probably snap if she learns you're friends with someone as cute as Yvonne."

"Misty isn't like that."

"I saw Misty in dorms today." Gary hid his dirty smirk with the beer can. "She wasn't wearing any underwear and she looked damn hot in her cute fluffy pink robe."

"..."

"..."

Gary ran off when Ash picked up the beer six-pack and threw it in his direction.
