“No, I’m still going to prom. What are you guys doing around midnight?” William asked.
“Well, let me check my calendar,” Dave said, miming flipping pages. “Ah, yes. We don’t have any plans.” He turned the invisible calendar toward William.
William sighed. “Do you want to meet up around then?”
“I’ll probably be home, spooning my pillow and watching a movie,” Dave replied. “Wait—that’s Ed’s plan. You can meet me at the McDonald’s across the street. Might be a party at Matt Walker’s house. That could be fun.”
“Yeah, we can meet there a little after midnight,” William said.
“You still got that condom I gave you?”
“Um, no. I lost it,” William lied.
“Lost it?” Dave shouted. “You were supposed to put it in your wallet, forget about it, and then give it back to me when I asked. Not lose it!”
“I’m sorry. I’ll buy one and keep it in my wallet for you.”
“Thank you. You’ll never know when I might need it. But not so close that you creep out women.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it,” William replied.
“Thank you. You’re a good friend, Further.” Dave circled him. “But you look ridiculous in that thing.”
“You look fine,” Ed said.
“He does not!” Dave shouted. “If he had a mustache, I’d call him Monopoly Man.”
“His name is—” Ed started.
“Irrelevant! Moving on!” Dave leaned back against the counter. “But seriously, pick up a condom and meet me at Mickey Dee’s.”
