Jerkwater

But how can she believe the rumors after witnessing how he acts with his little sister or the way he plays along with the stupidest deals just to amuse her?

3 Quotes/Phrases: 01) "I'm so tired of hearing about skittles that if I pick one up right now, I'll shove it so far up your ass you'll taste the fucking rainbow, bitch." 02) "A mini-fridge is waaay more important than a bassist." [stolen from guitar hero. because everyone needs a mini fridge. 03) "...Why does it sound like there's an orca in your basement?!"

Note: this started out as an one-shot that got way out of hand and demanded to be expanded. Also, I decided to try something slightly different and write the story with university-aged characters. Because I'm not very familiar with the North American education system, I don't go into much detail about university life, but I promise to research more for the next college-themed story I write. Hope you have fun reading!

Warning: this fiction is rated for mild language, sexual innuendos, references to drugs and other illegal substance, bad music and a few stupid jokes.
