You find Adrian at the furthest pool table drinking red wine with a short goth girl, which is a surprise to you because you didn\u2019t know that there were short goth girls. He is reading from a black bound book, and as he raises his hand to recite the next stanza with sufficient drama, he blinks as he sees you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You turn to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201dEpson?\u201d he says. \u201cIt is Epson, isn\u2019t it? I couldn\u2019t recognise you in that\u2026 looks exquisite on you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You check the girl\u2019s reaction to this. She seems to be smiling through a lot of black lipstick. \u201cYeah, Bae found some hand-me-downs for me,\u201d you drawl as casually as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201dYeah, Bae will do that for a friend,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201dAdrian is so awfully rude,\u201d says the girl, \u201cso I\u2019ll have to introduce myself. I\u2019m Eloise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not sure about the protocol, you nod. \u201cNice to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adrian\u2019s eyes focus on his wineglass, noticing one crucial fact. \u201cI better get a refill. I\u2019ll be right back. Don\u2019t suck any of Epson\u2019s blood, yeah?\u201d
Do you find this a bit awkward, and make your excuses to return to Bae? (goto 79<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
