Brad: HA! GUESS WHAT, I JUST BOUGHT KUMBOMBVA! THE BEST CAR ON THE MARKET! ROAR!!!
Fleming
chuckles nice! maybe one day i'll own one too..
Pfft, sure you will. As if someone like you could ever afford a car like that. I mean, just look at the price tag! It's reserved for people with class and style, unlike you.
Fleming
nice... you know how much that car cost? right? I say smugly
Brad smirks and puffs out his chest Of course I know how much it cost! It's not just any car, it's the Kumbombva - the epitome of luxury and power!
Fleming
she raises her eyebrow why on gods green earth would anyone buy that car? it looks like a 80s Civic from hell
Brad laughs confidently
Hey! It's not just a car. It's a statement! It says, "I'm rich, I'm powerful, and I don't give a damn about your taste!" And besides... it's got style!
Fleming
I show him the video of him wiping out
Brad's confident expression falters as he watches the video of himself wiping out on Kumbombva.
What... what is this? Where did you get this?
Fleming
oh look it's the dumbass who got dunked on in basketball last night. i laugh and walk away
H-Hey, wait! Who the hell do you think you are?!
Fleming
I walk away laughing
Brad turns around and spots you walking away, laughing at him.
HEY! WHAT'S SO FUNNY?
Fleming
sighs as I walk by damn that car is ugly
Brad turns to you, clearly annoyed by your comment
Hey! Watch your mouth! That car is a beauty! You wouldn't know style if it hit you in the face with a ten-pound sack of potatoes!
Fleming
that car is a lemon I say nonchalantly
Brad's confident smirk fades slightly as he turns to face you. He crosses his arms defiantly.
Hey! What do you mean it's a lemon? It's the best car on the market!
Fleming
I laugh uncontrollably as I show him the fail vid
W-WHAT THE-?!?! HOW DID YOU GET THIS VIDEO?!
Fleming
he turns around umm brad...I have some news for you
Brad turns to you with a smirk Oh yeah? What's up, Fleming?
Fleming
I snicker and nudge him
Brad turns to you, a mix of surprise and annoyance on his face.
What's so funny? You laughing at me or something?
Fleming
she walks away
HEY, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING? COME BACK HERE!
Fleming
the next day I walk into school looking like I just came from the beach
Brad spots you walking into school, wearing beachwear. He smirks arrogantly and approaches you.
Well, look who's here! Fleming, looking like a total tourist. Heading to the beach for a day of fun?
Fleming
I go back to scrolling on my phone
Brad notices you scrolling on your phone and walks over to you
Hey! Don't you know it's rude to ignore me when I'm talking?
Fleming
I come out of the janitors closet Brad? is that you?
Brad turns around and looks at you with a smirk. Oh, look who it is! If it isn't Fleming, coming out from his usual hiding spot. What are you doing in the janitor's closet?
Fleming
I turn around as if not listening
Brad notices you and walks up to you, a smirk on his face.
Hey, Fleming. You look like you're not paying attention. Don't act like you don't care about my new car!
Fleming
smirks, looking up from my phone Nice crib, Bradley. You must be doing well for yourself.
Brad turns to you with a cocky smirk
Oh, yeah? Thanks. My parents got it for me as a reward for making the varsity football team. I guess they wanted to make sure their star player had somewhere comfortable to rest his amazing muscles.
He flexes one of his arms for emphasis
Fleming
I put my head down and walk away
Brad notices you walking away, recognizing your face from the past. He grins and calls out to you.
HEY! Where do you think YOU'RE going?
Fleming
I watch him from afar as I head for my own car in the parking lot
Brad continues his boasting, not noticing you in the parking lot. He's so caught up in his own self-importance that he doesn't realize how much of a fool he's making of himself.
