All Characters are nameless.

Plot: A man reconciles with a friend from High school along with his room mate. His room mate invites her to a party beyond his friends wishes and something from their past ends up being revealed that no one would want to remember.

Characters:

C1: Main Character: Short Brown hair (short on the sides, longer on top, very average) with brown eyes and a slightly hefty build (Height is about 5' 11"). He is kind of dour looking but has an apathetic kind of smile on most occasions but tends to get annoyed with C2 a lot. He doesn't talk a bunch about himself or his problems and tends to not have many friends or people who he'd consider friends. Not a very happy individual inside he tends to hide the things that really bother him and even if he lets them out, he will try to avoid emotion and just sweep the pain under the rug afterwards. German/Anglo average looking but slightly handsome.

C2: Secondary Character: Black hair thats longer than C1's Drapes around his head around to his ears, maybe lower. His eyes are blue. His build is skinny with some musculature, not enough to talk about but enough to notice. he stands maybe 6' 1" and he is kind of douche. His facial features are a lot more classically handsome than C1 but also more precise and sharp. He treats people in a manner that they are his to be used but doesn't understand it, nor could he admit it. He lies constantly but not the point of the lies sounding untrue, Overall he seems like a generally nice person but tends to be an asshole after you get to know him and willing to take everything from a person if he is given the chance. Quite arrogant but only when he isn't being scolded, in which case he is cowardly and evasive. General Anglo features and all.

C3: The Girl: Stands about 5' 6" she is fairly short. She has a snubbed kind of nose, not very long but rounded and cute. Her hairs short and kind of like C2's but longer, reaching around the top of her neck or possibly longer, its colored brown. Her eyes are also Brown. She wears glasses for reading but other than that she tries to avoid wearing them if she can, especially in public. Her eyebrows are actually a little thick, but no unibrow thick and they don't connect in the middle (See Siouxsie from Siouxsie and the Banshees). She looks and acts kind of sheepish but in a deranged sort of way. She isn't phased by things that most girls are disgusted by (loves rats, collects skulls, things like that). Sex doesn't bother her and most subjects are less than Taboo (so basically like a real woman, not a generic anime woman). She C1 and C2 knew each other in High school and haven't hung out much since graduation. She used to Like C1 but nothing ever happened between the two of them. At one point she went out with C2 but again, nothing ever happened and they split up. Personality wise she is a little distant to outsiders and even to those she knows, but she is genuine with a lot of her emotions, even if she lies on occasion to be polite.

The other Girl: Once you read the outline her roles is kind of self explanatory. She is nuts and selfish. She is very beautiful in a soft but biting manner. She is Puerto Rican so her look should reflect that. Black hair, Brown eyes, lightly tinted skin. Personality wise she doesn't need to be explained much beyond that. She is C1's old girlfriend in a flashback. They met at the end of highschool and she moved to live with him and his room mate. After that she got demanding and terrible towards C1.

The Story Itself:

A man (C1 from now on) walks through a mall store with his friend talking to him, shooting the breeze about cell phones when C1 runs into an old friend from high school. His friend is a short girl with short brown hair (C3). They talk for a few moments before his male friend (C2 from now on) comes up and butts into the conversation, neither C1 or C3 seem very pleased by this but C2 continues anyway. There is a moment of talking before C1 and C2 move on, saying their goodbyes to C3. Next pages shows them both walking to their car as C2 talks. C1 seems unpleased by what he is hearing but grins and bears it anyway. They reach their car and C2 drives as C1 is in the passenger seat. C2 talks as they drive off, C1 just sits in the car silently.
Next thing they are at home, watching television as the phone rings. C1 answers it as C2 seemingly ignores it. The phone is C3 from earlier. They talk for a few moments and then all of a sudden C2 is seen on the same line and talks to both of them. He seems pleased and C3 actually does as well, but C1 doesn't.
Next in the same apartment you see a group of people having a party while C1 and C2 mingle, talking to some people. The door bell buzzes and C1 answers the door. C3 bursts in and hugs him, they both smile. Next thing you know you see all three of them are drinking Jack Daniels and Jägermeister and assorted beers with random patrons at the party. Eventually C2 gets uncomfortably close to C3 as the night goes along, till he tries to stick his hands down the front of her pants. She punches him and he throws a beer bottle at her head. C1 rushes in, having been distracted in another room and breaks up the fight. C2 points to the door and C1 points at him, both yelling, C3 is standing angrily in the background. Finally C2 gives up and shouts as he walks out of the room, yelling something that makes C1 look depressed and pale as a ghost.
Later we see C1 sitting alone at the edge of his bed in the dark. C3 walks by and looks in, seeing him. She walks in and sits next to him. A moment of silence goes by before she turns to him and asks him a question.
He starts to speak as a flashback rolls in to his speech bubbles. It is of him coming home, then walking to the door of his room, when he opens the door he see's his C2 sleeping with a woman. He stands there for a moment as they sleep, his face looking twisted in anger, then he bursts out yelling. C2 wakes up and falls out of bed, then begins to look like he's explaining, as the woman yells at C1. It becomes apparent that the woman was C1's girl. C1 and the woman yell back and forth for a few moments then C1 storms out of the room, but just as he does, the woman pulls a knife from the dresser next to the bed. She lunges at C1 but he see's her at the last second then grabs her hand. She falls on top of him as the knife twists around and they both fall to the ground, her on top of C1. The knife pierces the woman's heart and C1 is left holding her lifeless body as blood pours out over top of him in the doorway. He yells out but C2 is gone. The flashback ends with a top view shot of him holding the dead naked body of his girlfriend.

C3 and C1 are seen sitting in the same bed as he finishes the story. There is silence and then she hugs him. He stand up and just waves, his hand at her while walking out the door.

There is a moment of silence from her sitting on the bed. She looks over at the night stand, and see's the same knife sitting there. The comic ends with the shot of the knife on the dresser.
