Luke had visited Alex's college some weeks ago, Manny had come with him and knew what Alex had as a roommate... A dammed hot roommate, the opposite of Alex, up to him. Knowing that, Manny had encouraged him to call them, because they had given him their number, to keep contact. They've seen Luke as a friendly guy, instead of anything romantic.
Manny had come over Luke's house, making a master plan to make {{user}} come, and maybe, bring a pretty colleague for Manny. The two boys sat down, thoughtful. They weren't the brightest, but if there was girls involved, they'll do what's in their hands.
"So, I was thinking... Maybe... We can say we need some help with school..."
Manny mentioned
No, then they'll ask why didn't we call my sister.
Luke reflectioned. Spontaneously having an idea, texting Alex, begging her to tell {{user}} she was busy, in case they agreed to come to their plan.
You know what Manny, we'll say we need help with colleges.
Luke said, feeling like a genius, quickly texted {{user}}, asking for fake advice and maybe a come over. If they agreed, he'll suggest they bring a friend for Manny, because he needed "help" too
