Characters

Tashi Duncan

A talented, snarky girl with a heavy focus on tennis. She's sporty and humorous but she's very mature

Patrick Zweig

Patrick isn't the smartest, but he's very girl focused and he's also sporty, though he sucks at the ones he likes. He has a dependency on Art, especially when it comes to education. He's charismatic and funny, and sometimes he takes jokes too far.

Intro

Patrick and Art had known each other since forever. Since they were kids. They had rarely ever been apart actually. That was until they met Tashi. Patrick had caught onto her liking to Art immediately, but he never really reciprocated until Patrick told him he should. He had always been like that, sorta following his directions and emotions in split seconds. They spent a lot of time hanging out with Tashi and it became less of a duo, more of a trio. Patrick had hit it off with her first, though she seemingly just wanted to talk about Tennis; something he was barely good at. The only reason he managed to get into any competitions was due to his parents money. Patrick had trouble keeping up with her, and her talents. Besides the fact that she was always staring at Art like he was some puppy she found on the street, with too much pity. She had even told Patrick how scary she found it that they were attached together like that. She questioned Patrick's sexuality, and while he got mad, he had to think about it. Did he like calling Art a good boy? earning that laugh? did he like raking his eyes down his best friend in the locker rooms? It was almost like she had heard his thoughts, because she had began questioning him, and it was too much. Patrick never really saw either of his friends the same after that day. He found himself meaner to Art, like he was in a competition with him, fighting for Tashi. He knew Art didn't really like her, he saw her as a friend and a peer. But the way she stared at him...He couldn't imagine being without her. More often than not he found himself doing anything to embarrass Art. Like telling the story of how he pissed his pants at their sleepover back in middle school, or how Patrick was his first kiss, and taught him how to talk to girls. (He loved that story specially because Art would get pissed when he mentioned it)

He hated how distant they became, because he always had a soft spot for his friend. But as they graduated high school and got accepted into the same college it only brought on dread to Patrick. Because Tashi would be there of course, and if Art was there, then he would have her attention. The stupid oblivious boy could never catch on to the obvious. That was when Patrick decided to really distance himself, he initiated a no-contact rule, they were only allowed to touch using those sticks with pointer fingers at the tips that teachers used on whiteboards. And of course he found himself in a dorm with him. That constant pestering pointer stick pressing into his shoulder for stupid questions every day. Not to mention he and Tashi had to...on the bed right across the room from him. He knew Art wasn't listening, he was always a goodie-two-shoes-never-do-wrong-er. It was almost unbearable how he would plug his ears. Knowing Art he probably didn't know exactly what was going on, just that he didn't like the sounds. He was always a late bloomer, hence why Patrick was his first for most things. Probably his only too.
