>I decide to not be a bitch
>I raise my arms and say, "Wassup?" just like that
>"YOU WANNA FIGHT, HOLMES?"
>i remember my girlfriend is with me and I don't want her to get hurt

>I've never been so fucking confused in my whole life
>our group turns and walks away
>we stop about fifty yards down the way to discuss what just happened
>I see the original mexican kids talking to some girls and jumping around while slamming their fists on their chests Tarzan style
