What A Drag

Normally when someone tells you, you dress like your sister, it's not exactly a compliment, especially when you're a guy. But see, for you, it actually is a compliment, because if your sister -were- a guy she'd dress pretty damn well.

See, you're Diego Roditis, and you know, as well as most everyone else, that your sister's gay. You've known for awhile, and really you have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand it sort of creeps you out that you can borrow your sister's clothes, and that you could potentially talk about girls and who's hot and whatever; and on the other hand, it's kind of hot. Not that you think you're sister is hot because that'd be a little more than incestuous and gross, but the whole concept-- the whole girl on girl thing, after all, you are a guy.

So hearing that you dress like your sister is actually a good thing in this case, it means you're not gay, not that you had any doubt about that ever, because well, um, you haven't.

And maybe that's why you've been looking at this girl Sara lately, not because you're not gay, after all you always look at girls, but this girl in particular. Maybe because well, she's related to Ian, and Ian and Claud are well....friends. To be honest, you don't know what's up with Ian and Claud, all you know if Claud's got it bad for Ian, but well when Claud gets it bad for someone, it tends to backfire, because honestly? You're sister's a lot better at the fucking everyone game rather than the 'let's have a relationship bit.' Why? Well because when your sister gets it bad? She gets it bad for ...someone unattainable, or straight, or worse case scenario: it's just way too complicated to actually -work-.

But in any case, back to Sara. See Sara's in your Physics class, actually she's also in your math class, your Literature class, and well you might not actually be enrolled in the class, but you're both in the chemistry together. And well, it's not that you have it bad for her, it's just that you're sort of intrigued for some reason. Maybe, you think, all Roditis' have it bad for an Argenta at least once in their life, but honestly you don't think you actually have -anything- let alone something bad.

So why is it you're asking your sister to borrow that shirt? You know, the one both of you really like and you got her for her birthday, even though you keep thinking you should have fucked getting her a birthday present in the first place and just gotten it for yourself. That one. Why are you asking to borrow it? Like you do every time you start being intrigued by some girl. Because you know she knows, she being your sister.

And perhaps that's why she's handing over the shirt with that annoying older-sibling-know-it-all-smirk plastered across her face. Because she knows. Not that she would know -who- it is, because really you're not that obvious. You're not like her and get all squeakily-choke-nervous around the person you like. No, you're actually pretty cool about it, really. You don't write things in your notebook, after all you're not gay, and even if you were you'd never be that gay. But she knows there's someone, and you know that she'll find out now that she knows there's actually something to find out. And while this bugs you, you don't care, because really it'd be nice if she knew. Then she can stop you from doing something stupid if that's the case, because you tend to do stupid things, but no one ever knows about it because she's always saving your stupid ass. Not that she never does stupid things, she does stupid things all the time, but she doesn't really care that she does stupid things, and it's not like you're her mother -- it really only works one way, not the other.

So maybe that's why you're actually wearing the shirt now and walking over to her -- the not your sister? Because you're positive if you were doing something stupid your sister would be -there-, here, dragging your butt back somewhere other than here. She'd be stopping you right? But she's not there. So it must not be stupid, this whole walking over to the girl you like. The fact that she's surrounded by people doesn't seem to cross your mind. In fact the only thing you can think is, This isn't stupid. This isn't stupid. Where's Claud? This isn't stupid. Because you know that there's a good chance it is stupid, that your sister -might- be too busy with her crush-angst-ridden-life to realize you're going to do something stupid. But it's too late for her to come rescue you now.

Because well, you're already there.
