Chapter 10 - Let's go fishing

In the morning Gavin runs into Loui on his bike.

"Get on! Bro I will bring you to school." 

"With this lousy bike?"

"It'll collapse when I get on it."

"You're the one walking and you're looking down on someone riding a bike?"

"You can still look to the side when you're riding a bike?"

"The front view is not as pleasant as the side view!"

"Your family lives in this area?"

"We've always had."

"Then, why have I never seen you before?"

"This is the first time I'm late, you're still not awake!"

"Usually, when I'm on this road, you're still not awake!"

"I know everybody in every corner here"

"What's your surname?"

"Why don't you ask me the reason I'm late today?"

"I don't know."

"You were dead drunk yesterday, I carried you home, all the way to your doorstep"

"You were holding onto me so tightly and wouldn't let go."

"You just refused to go home."

"Can you even get more thick-skinned?"

"I would hug anybody else, but i wouldn't hug you!"

"You can't be saying that!"

"Yesterday, I was just eating skewers"

"When you suddenly threw yourself at me, hugged me, and called to me"

"Until i got goosebumps! and, you pulled my pants and insisted on comparing our sizes!"

"Don't you think you lack shame and preservation?"

"I told you to get on earlier and you didn't"

"So, I just had to insult you to convince you to get on?"

"And you still sneakily punch me!"

'Why are you facing the back?"

"I can't be bothered to look at you!"

"So, you're the one who carried me back yesterday?"

"You finally remembered?"

"I was just guessing."

"I've already carried you twice!"

"When will you carry me too?"

"Don't you have legs?"

"Don't you have legs too?"

'So, why did I have to carry you twice?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Do you even know how to ride a bike?!"

"I'm practicing my riding skill with my hands in the fronts, at the same time giving you a massage at the back!"

"At the same time giving you a message at the back!"

"What a natural way to keep fit!"

They have breakfast together at Loui's aunt's shack and arrive at school together. 

"Auntie, good morning."

"Morning! What are you having?"

"Give me 2 soybean curds, and another 2 fried sugar dough sticks."

"Ok."

"Auntie."

"I'll have what he's having!"

"I've included your share in my order..."

"What'd wrong?"

"Nothing."

"I haven't had such authentic fried dough sticks in a long time."

"Then, where do you usually eat?"

"Usually? Where I pass by."

"Anywhere is fine."

"Here."

"Good."

'What? You can get full just by looking at me?"

Yuk asks Loui why he came to school with Gavin instead of Nicholas, to which Loui replies with that it was just a coincidence that they ran into each other.

"What?"

"Why haven't you been walking with Loui recently?"

"I haven't even seen him these few days before or after school."

"I don't know who's taken him away either."

"There."

"Loui, aren't you close with Nicholas?"

"Why did you come with him?"

"We met coincidentally."

"That's not it."

"Whose uniform is this?

"Whose do you think it is?"

"Do you think it's mine?"

"My uniform?"

"You washed this for me?"

"Nope."

"Stop lying."

"You still let your family see this?"

"Why ask if you already know?"

After school, Gavin gets invited to hang out with his friends on the following Saturday,

"Hello."

"Gavin, what have you been busy with?"

"Why didn't you contact any of your bros?"

"Not busy with anything, just going to school, sleeping."

"It's quite boring."

"Let's meet up this Saturday!"

"That fellow just bought a new car"

"He wants to show it off to you."

"So you go to us or we pick you up?"

"I'll come over."

"In the future, don't look for me if it's not important."

"If it's urgent, call me first."

"After I've approved, you all can come over."

"What shameful thing have you done?"

"Are you afraid that we'll see it?"

"Nothing."

"That's all, then see you on Saturday"

But the next morning, Loui invites Gavin to go fishing with him on the same Saturday. 

"Doing stunts with your lousy second-hand bike"

"Hey, how did you know this second-hand?"

"Bikes are stolen in this neighborhood everyday."

"If yours was new, it would have been stolen long ago!"

"Why didn't you say so before."

"If I knew that bikes could be stolen from here, I wouldn't have wasted money on this!"

"Don't you live in this neighborhood?"

"How come you don't know?"

"Let's go to school already"

"Let's go."

"Tomorrow is Saturday, wanna hang out?"

"What."

"Tomorrow is Saturday, so you want to go fishing together?"

"No, I have made plan already, I can't go."

"Then, forget it."

"Deal! I'll come find you on Saturday."

"Didn't you say you have other plan?"

"The wind was strong, you misheard it."

Gavin ends up fishing with Loui on Saturday, blowing off and ignoring his friends, and together, they catch a fish.

"What are you doing? I'm fishing!"

"The fishes are gone!"

"After fishing here, do we have to pay according to weight?"

"What you think this is a fishery?"

"There isn't a single soul within 3 miles!"

"Who are you going to pay?"

"Can't you adopt a better attitude when you talk to me?"

"You're pulling a long face, even before you open your mouth!"

"I'm telling you, I hate it the most when someone pinch my face."

"You pervert!!"

"Do I look like a pervert?"

"What else can you do?"

"I'm just gonna pinch your face!"

[Phone ringing]

"Hello?"

"I forget to call"

"Your girlfriend is sick, I went back to visit her."

"She's with you? No-"

[Call hang up lost signal]

"How's it going? Any fish?"

[Phone ringing]

"Hello?, Hello?"

"I'm busy with something right now, I'm fishing."

"I can't make it"

"Are you with Lee?"

"If your together, why are you calling too?!" 

"Are you playing with me?"

"I really have something to do, I'm not going"

"I'm not going"

"I can't talk now, hang up! Bye!"

[Hang up call]

Gavin turn around and see Loui walking away from him.

"What are you doing, going all the way over there?"

"Don't go! I've turned off my phone"

"Loui!, Loui!"

"My phone is off"

"What's the meaning in fishing alone?"

"Can you stop harping on it?"

"Ok"

"Isn't that a big fish?!"

"I'm not fishing anymore"

"What?"

"It's not fun, I don't want to fish anymore"

"No, don't mind me!"

"Come up!"

"Don't be ridiculous, the water is cold!"

"Isn't it this one?!"

"Yeah"

[Both laughing]
