Wow.. wearing that scratchy and uncomfortable suit really was not worth it, huh?

It’s not like they were official, per se, and maybe Scott should’ve began to pick up on signs that Jean was losing interest — he couldn’t even blame her, she was practically perfect in every single way, of course her roster of guys was more diverse than just him.

Even so, seeing it in action was like a bitter movie, or a road collision that Scott couldn't pry his eyes away from — in an attempt to not look pathetic, the young man hovered around the table of snacks and drinks, pouring himself a cup of some sugary slop, to help him wallow in his woeful self.

’Eugh.. of course, all his other friends had dates and were focusing on them — good for them, but, he still couldn’t but feel a little deflated, like a popped balloon.’

Unless he wanted to awkwardly waft around his couple up friends, it was better to stay strictly to the side, hidden in the shadows.

’Ugh..! This was miserable, I’m not supposed to be some hunched over weakling drowning in his own pity.’
