"Mimi!" Tai called. She turned towards him, surprised. Everyone in the general proximity stopped what they were doing to watch. Their relationship and break-up had been public knowledge throughout the school.
"Look," he sighed, "um, I know I've been acting like a total ass lately, and I think that I made a mistake. I want you back. That is … will you go out with me again?"
Mimi looked at him incredulously. "Are you crazy? Why the hell would I want to go back out with you?"
"Why wouldn't you?" Tai retorted, now getting angry. "Come on, I'm your boyfriend."
"Not anymore. I came here to forget about you, Tai. I've done enough crying over the past few days, and I'm over it." She started to walk away.
"Fine," he called out. "I wouldn't take you back now even if you begged. No one says no to the Tai-man. You'll regret this for the rest of your life."
She turned back to him. "The only thing I regret is wasting four years of my life with your poor excuse for a child's dick." The whole room gasped. Tai blanched. "Yeah, that's right," she said to everyone. "Two and a half fucking inches. How pathetic."
Everyone started laughing, and Mimi walked away.
Tai's face got red. "Shut up!" he yelled to the room. This just made everyone laugh harder.
"Hey Tai," Izzy piped up, "you just got owned – by a girl! That's some whacked-out prodigious shit right there!"
Tai punched Izzy's lights out and stormed off.
As he saw Mimi walk away from the scene, Matt called out to her, but everyone was making such a commotion that she didn't hear him. He tried to follow her, but there were too many people. He lost sight of her around a corner.
Meanwhile, Sora and Yolei were laughing along with everyone else.
"Oh my god! I never thought she had it in her!" Yolei exclaimed. "I knew there was a reason why we were friends."
"Yeah," Sora replied. "And to stick around with us 'losers' even after she got a jock boyfriend and not let popularity get to her head. What a girl."
At that moment, she spotted Matt yelling and taking off after Mimi. She sighed.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Yolei asked.
"Nothing, it's just … Matt."
Yolei looked and saw him disappear into the crowd. "Oh yeah, didn't you say he was going after Mimi?
"Yeah."
"He's a nice kid," Yolei said.
"I know. He would make a good boyfriend, but …"
"But what?"
Sora blushed.
Yolei's jaw dropped. "You don't have a crush on Matt, do you?"
After Tai got shot down by Mimi, things eventually calmed down, and Davis resumed his quest to get laid. With no success.
"Ugh," he grunted, flopping onto a couch. Of course, no one came to talk to him. "Well, this is getting nowhere," he said to himself. "Might as well go home and jerk off."
He was just about to leave when someone called his name. "Yo Davis!"
He looked up. Jay was walking up, with Bob in tow. "Yo wassup dudes, how's it hangin?"
"Pretty good, pretty good," Jay replied, taking a puff of his cigarette. "Yo there's some fine ass pussy here, just like you said," he whispered in a conspiratorial manner. "Any luck yet?"
Davis put on a cocky smile. "Not yet. I'm waiting for the opportunity moment."
Jay looked confused. "You mean 'opportune' moment?"
"Yeah, whatever," Davis dismissed, waving his hand.
"Sure, you're waiting. Bet you've just had your ass handed to you so far, am I right?" Jay smirked.
Davis glared. "Shut up. I'm getting close. I know it."
"Jay!" Some girl walked up to them.
"Oh, what's up, Kari?"
"Nothing much. I wanna get fucking wasted though. You holding?"
"Shit yeah," Jay replied, pulling out a plastic bag from his jacket pocket.
"Awesome. How much?"
"For you," he grinned, "nothing. On the big man tonight."
Kari squealed and hugged him. "Thanks, you're the best!"
A light bulb went off in Jay's head. "Hey, wait a minute. Do me a favor, will you?
"Sure."
He pulled Davis over, who looked down on the floor, embarrassed. "This is Davis. Talk to him for awhile, ok? He's a good friend of mine, and he looks like he could use some cheering up at the moment." He looked at both of them and winked.
Davis mock-glared at Jay, but Kari just smiled. "Ok," she said. "I guess I could do that. Come on." She took Davis' hand and led him away.
Davis looked back. "Have fun, man," Jay said. Davis grinned in appreciation.
Bob then turned to Jay incredulously. "Dude, how come you never hook me up like that?"
Jay shook his head. "Because you wouldn't have any chance, you fat fuck."
Bob glared. Then his expression softened, and he shrugged. "Harsh, but true."
"Hey? TK?"
TK started and pulled the walkie-talkie from his pocket. "Hullllo," he slurred.
"Hi." It was Louis. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah man, m'fine. Never better," TK answered, chugging down another cup of beer. "Whaddya want?"
"Um … I was just wondering what was going on with the plan. You know – Operation Screw Tai."
"Oh yeah, that thing. It's going great. Right on schedule. Wait," he paused. "Hold on a second." TK put down the walkie-talkie and turned to the guy at the keg. "Hey man, pour me another cup."
"Dude, haven't you had enough?
"Just getting warmed up."
The guy shrugged. "Fine." He handed over another beer.
"TK?" Louis asked again.
"Yeah, dude, I gotta go. I'll let ya know if things change."
"You're not drunk, are you?"
"Wha? NO. NO FUCKING WAY. What gave you that idea?"
"Well, it's just … you're talking funny."
TK laughed hysterically. "You're the funny one … GEEK!" he shouted before turning the walkie-talkie off. Then, he downed his beer.
"Mmm. I feel gooood."
