The story of a Side Character in a Rom-com

Add one to the list

I observe the game Derek was playing and the dude like the protagonist he was, made new friends immediately when he scored an insane half court shot.

Not to mention the annoying critter(Ava) cheering him on at the sidelines and girls gossiping to themself about Derek athleticism.

Derek man, if you don't watch yourself, you might actually have more than one girl clinging to you.

Fauster: "...Well knowing him, he won't reject a girl that confessed to him because he's that nice."

I sat for a few minutes more observing the game with not much concentration since I can already predict how the game would.

*Fwhoosh!*

Another half court shot, I swear the NBA should recruit my dude Derek.

???: "Woah, how did he do that!?"

A new voice besides me managed to make me startled but I composed myself immediately and turned to to look to who this new individual was.

???: "He's so hot, I wonder if he's got a girlfriend."

She isn't that bad looking compared to Ava but she got that cutting board beaten by a truck, plus from the way she presents herself I can say her love is more pure than whatever sludge Ava could give to Derek.

Oh look at Derek giving me a wave and his happy smile probably signaling me "Did you see that epic shot I did!?" so I responded by giving him a lazy smile and a thumbs up.

???: "Oh my god! He's waving at me, not with those soft eyes!"

Lady calm the fuck down, he isn't the second coming of Jesus, just a really fortunate bastard.

Now he is waving to Ava, which deflates the girl beside me probably thinking strawberry milk hair is his girlfriend.

You know I think I'm gonna do a little trolling because I'm a little bored.

Fauster: "Hey, you like Derek?"

???: "H-Huh? Oh I didn't see you there."

Ouch lady, way to stab me in the heart and remind me that I'm some insignificant guy that's not as bright as Derek.

Fauster: "Haa...I'm asking if you like Derek?"

???: "D-Derek?"

Fauster: "That guy."

I pointed to the tall handsome golden blondie busy playing a new basketball round.

???: "His name is Derek? Wait how do you know his name?"

Fauster: "Easy, I'm his bro."

Okay this girl is pissing me off, I'm trying to get her with a hot guy but now her face is questioning me, scrutinizing my entire being.

???: "Are you sure? you don't look like someone that he'd hangout with."

It's my face isn't it?

Fauster: "Look do you want me to introduce you to him or not?"

???: "Huh, wait why would you do that?"

Fauster: "Because while you were off into your own wonderland I happened to sit next to you and overheard your little crush. Besides I'm bored so I'm trying to get my bro some."

She's suspicious of my intention to help accelerate her romance but I'm just doing this out of the goodness of my heart.

So to clear her wariness, I did something out of character.
