Invite Someone Over

This isn’t an inconvenient time for a lot of people that you’d invite over, although they would find it a little strange that you’re asking them over at this hour. Realistically, the only time someone ever has another person over at 1:30am is for one of a few reasons: 1. You got broken up with and need consolation/a rebound, 2. You’re definitely booty-calling them, or 3. You truly do like hanging out late like one of your clubbing friends, Gabby Homada.

But, you’re not Gabby, and so the other two options are usually what you’d be going to. Knowing that most of your friends know your relationship status to be single, that leaves you with option 2. You shrug. You could play it off as just wanting someone to talk to, so you consider your options.

Your AR screen buzzes as you mull over the few people you know, and a message pops up.

“Hey, I can’t sleep. Got home from the club and I’m wayyyy too wired to close my eyes. You up?” — Gabby

Well, there’s Gabby — your partner in crime during your college days — you haven’t gotten a ‘u up lol’ text from her in months. Not since you let her know you were keeping the midnight oil burning, working on your next big app, at least. Maybe she had this 6th sense that told her you got done and had been experimenting on your dick. Maybe it’s sheer dumb luck.

You pull up another contact who you know for sure to be up, just due to her being a regular night owl — Anastasia. You might as well try and see if the blonde bombshell would come over.

“Hey A, you up reading or practicing right now? Wanted to see if you’d come over to talk about something important. Can’t wait for the coffee date tomorrow.” You send off your text.

And the last option that comes to mind is an unorthodox choice, but a great one nonetheless — Rylie — a classmate in your CS major throughout college. Saying that partying and enjoying ‘frat boy energy’ is part of your major’s stress relief is kind of redundant, and you’re hoping she’s kept that same vibe.

“Rylie, you busy right now? Got something I need you to see in person — script-execution related.” You aren’t lying about that — you do technically have something that came from executing a computer script.

You get back Rylie’s response first: “Hey, you — yeah, just tuning up a side project right now. Uhhhh could you give me 20 minutes? I gotta throw on something that isn’t gonna show 7/8ths of my ass when I stand up lol.”

Before you wait for anything else, you get to Gabby. “You caught me at the perfect time. Did your spidey senses go off and tell you that I’m done with my big project? I can show it to you if you come over.”

Then, Anastasia: “You know, I had to look away from my Haydn piece to see your text. That’s something I only do for you. If you really want, I can be at your door in 25. Sound good?”

You got 3 people cued up to meet you. Who do you choose to meet?
