Things were bad for Idiana, very bad indeed. So bad that he found himself doing work in the canteen after school all by himself. It couldn't get any worse he thought. It could not. It definitely couldn't.
Suddenly he heard footsteps. From the odd syncopated beat he could tell it wouldn't be someone normal. Bingo, he thought as John walked into his view. Looking like he had something to ask him. Then again, he always did.
"What is it this time?" Idiana asked.
John reached into his bag and tossed out a magazine. It had two girls on the front, two exceedingly hot girls. Sigh, he thought, he should've known.
"Which one, Tristiana or her insanely hot friend?"
"Both."
"What do you mean both? Thats dumb, you have to choose one at least."
"But I can't choose. Help me choose."
"Okay, Tristiana hates you, so go for the other one"
" No but..."
He watched as John struggled to say something. A lot of weird emotions running over his face. Then suddenly he got it.
" You didn't come to me straight away did you?"
"Well..."
This was looking hopeless.
"What did you do this time?"
"Okay I creeped her out, I think."
"You think? You did."
"Okay, I screwed up. Now what?"
"Well your chances of getting either of them is zilch. Give up now."
"I can't just do that!"
"You got a plan other than following one of them around like a lovesick puppy?"
"It always works on tv!"
"It only works in sitcoms and if this was a sitcom there would be a retarded laugh track coming in about now in lieu of my sardonism."
John looked defeated. But Idiana knew that it was merely the calm before the storm. The peace lasted a grand total of 5 seconds.
"What if I enlisted the help of one of them to get the other."
"Sure, that means you still have to choose. Then again, you can't, you don't know her friend well enough, do you?"
"Well, I was thinking I could try to charm Tristiana while pretending to ask her for advice on how to get her friend"
This guy was insane. Then again Idiana had already realized that a long long time ago. He decided he had wasted enough time on this.
"Sounds like a good idea."
" Really? You think?"
"Sure go ahead. Good luck"
He watched as John scuttled away. Another day, another idiot.
