‘Dude, tell me about this girl you like.’
Pete sighed, ‘Man! Her name is Rachel.’
‘Sigh, egh? Pretty?’
‘So gorgeous, that I wanna cry.’
‘Intense bro. What does this Rachel do?’
‘She works in a big-ass store, man. Dunno which.’
‘She interested in you?’
‘Dunno, man! There’s this other guy in the scene.’
‘They serious?’
‘Nah, bro! It’s just on and off, bloody infuriating.’
‘What does this dude do?’
‘Not sure! Some Doctor. Name’s Ross.’
Bud stopped and pointed at a building. ‘This Rachel, she work there?’
‘Yeah, bro. How’d you know?’
‘Man, I told you not to binge watch FRIENDS while smoking pot.’

You have created very authentic voices for your characters, terse and streetwise. An excellent choice for disguising the twist of your story!

Fortunately, I’ve seen a few episodes of the show so I know what you’re talking about. Time for this guy to climb out of his bong.

I used to binge watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S and I feel it is perfectly normal to have a crush on Rachel. I don’t blame the pot..even without a pot it would have been the same.. Great post..enjoyed a lot.

Dear Varad,
Oddly enough, in its heyday I only saw one episode of Friends. Nonetheless I caught the humor in your story. Well done.
Shalom,
