Someone came up to me and said that he suspected our classmate was a friend of Joe Biden’s daughter. He asked me to search it up on Google Images and I did so on my phone. There was in fact a familiar face appearing alongside someone who was presumably Biden’s daughter. “They’re probably related too”, he said. “I mean all presidents kind of are, right?” I replied.

The four of us were playing mahjong but it became readily apparent that the two girls joining us were here for something else. They got drunk pretty quickly and started flirting with us. The guy beside me seemed to ignore their advances and continued playing and counting points seriously. When he finally revealed his hand, he said that they should “stop being horny and find someone to love [them].” The rest of the night was awkwardly silent.

When he left I rushed out onto the veranda and couldn’t stop laughing. The moon was reflecting off of the ocean waves. “How can one not see it?” I asked.
