Memes aside: I ended up basically resuming the whole book 1 here. My bad. I just wanted to point 2 things there. First, comedy is masterfully done in this novel. The repetition adds to the funny, much more so than I would've imagined at first. The same situation and scene is repeated with a different person confessing in the same BENCH every time. What, to me, only makes it more enjoyable. Secondly, the s*umbag character we follow around is actually justified in being pissed and the girls, and is the best friend anyone would ever want to have. It is even unreal his level of commitment. That makes the betrayal that much worse. But at the least, someone knows how good of a person he truly is, even with his shitty personality.

There you go, better than all this text. But you can read if you want so.

The thing is, MC is a bastard. Kinda. Not really. He is a s*umbag in his internal monologues after he suffers some psychological attacks. Then you end up learning that his nice cool guy is a persona he created to be popular and all that it entails. So f*ck him, right? Not right. He is the most chadest of the real friends that exist. Both to who deserves and who does not so. You see, he was planning to try and woo one of the two beauties for himself. But when you end up believing that they will confess to him, which makes 100% sense considering how he is close and deal with them, they confess their love are actually his friend, the popularest dude. Sucks to be him, no. The funny thing: the revelation is basically identical to both girls, hell even the story is the same. Better yet, it is in the same BENCH!

He gets pissed and then shows his true nature, but only to the reader. So, it is time to adapt the plans. He will help both girls try and woo the dude. But as the s*umbag that he is, the one that ends up rejected will be his. Devil, an absolute demon devil man. But hey, at least he is helping them, no? But it is a f*cking chore, as you end up learning. Both girls are borderline brainless. Maybe you could say that this is because of love or what gives. I say nay! They are spoiled brats (now in his own words). You see, he helped them, know them well, and take up all their crap, which ends up making him desist of his own plans after seeing the ugly truth. Luck him, if you ask me.

But one day, while being still ab*sed by the librarian, he ends up having an insight. What about your friend, what he wants, after all? But when he goes to ask, he ends up being pulled to a bench, oh sorry, The BENCH. There he ends with the same story again, in the same event, of how his friend ended up falling in love with some other girl he'd seen there, much like how the girls ended up falling for him. The girl? The librarian, of course.

So there we have. A complex polygon of love relationships, with him in the middle to deal with all this crap. His friend asks for help, which he promptly accepts and gives some pointers too. What does the guy do? Go talk to the librarian. But, she says to him some story about her love. As he was hopping, one more of that old same confession takes, no? But wait, she said that she loves him, not his friend. So when he heard his friend's confession he knew that the girl liked another, worse yet, him! He tells the girl to go out with his friend. Bad move, mate. She got pissed and tell him to be away for some time.

In this meantime, all hell broke loose. Our mate decided to go for a hands-off approach, as the girls are kind of dealing better with the friend, he can leave them be. The problem? They decided to go for the broke and confess. But the dude does so before them, coming clean with them about loving someone. Worse. He told them that his friend would help him too. So, both girls dump a load of sh*t on our friend and talk about how much of a bastard he is for giving them hope, worse they two vowed to help popular friend achieve his love. So, they start to antagonize the dude openly while trying to be friendly with the librarian.

On the day that finally he is permitted access to the library again, after some talk about how he is in the shits with both girls and some pep talk with the librarian, both girls come out with the popular guy friend to try and woo the dull librarian. Problem: their nemesis is there. He is shitted on by both girls, that see him as scum. But then he lost all his sh*t and start to talk back. With reason, mind you: Those girls used and ab*sed him. Tired him out of his problem and when things went wrong, instead of trying to solve it alone, they overworked him even more so. And when they learn that he wanted to help his own friend's love life, he was the bad one. So, he is in the right. But the librarian points out that he wanted to be with them too... Whose side is she on?

Short story long, the librarian outs him as a bastard that is actually an a**hole. He was a s*umbag that wanted to be with the one that was rejected. And all the time he helped them, he was getting tired of all that crap. He still comes up, saying that they only treated him as a convenient tool, that they never even thought about his feelings or whatnot. At least he ends up well. But the librarian comes out again and confesses her love for him. And what popular friend does? Punch out time!

After a beating and a half, our mate is in the gutter (actually a broken bathroom with all the smelly stuff there). Worse yet, all the school ended up learning about that. Then the bully started. His shoes are gone. His books are doodled, his desk totally vandalized, and he is seen as sh*t by all the students. From cool friendly guy to demon of the school in one day (and a weekend). What can he do now? The only place he can go is the library, be ab*sed but at least be able to eat.

There he is kind of consoled by the girl, but what does it matter, all is lost and he is in the gutter. She says that he should go there another day to learn the truth. What happens is that his now ex-friend is always going there and talking to the librarian. But the librarian will have none of this shit. She knows this was all planned. What? Yes. Popular friend is actually a s*um shatface. he planned to make his own friend fall from grace and be hated by all. The reason? One girl that was a friend of theirs in middle school was in love with his friend, not him. There you have it. So, he concocted this plan to f*ck up his best mate only because he could not accept that someone come near him because of another person. It hurt him. Boohoo. Then he confesses that used both of the s*upid girls to prepare it all and f*ck his friend over and completely. Now he, MC, will have none of it. He comes out from a hidden place in the library and talks all the more shit. What got him pissed off? His friend not seeing how genuinely the girls loved him. A real knight, with the foulest of mouths. He talks sh*t and punches the guy, but that is all. What can he do? At least he knows that it was not his fault. I mean, he was a s*umbag, but even so, he had a limit. There, all is good, at least the librarian knows that he is good. And she comes clean and say that she knew that all he did was to help his friend do his best in the next competition, so he wanted to arrange him with the best girl to pump him up. Hell, he even was preoccupied with his friend's hand while being punched, considering that he used his hands in baseball and all. And all he got was this. But such is life.

The next day the girls are strangely protecting him. In class, the popular friend comes clean and says that it was all a ruse made by him to make his friend come out as a bad person. In the end, he did not say sorry to the one that suffered and ended up coming clean with the people, but not his real friend. The real s*um of all s*umbags. In the end, we learn that the librarian is actually the prettiest of the beauties and that even knowing how much of a bad apple the guy is, ended up falling in love with him. He still hates her for being such a rotten person that only wants to see him suffer, but he is in love with such a pretty body anyway.

Funny yet, she ended up loving him because of the same event. He tried to console his friend after losing badly at a final game, so he went to buy his most loved food to cheer him up. There he meets the librarian in full goddess mode, that says she is interested in him. But he stands his ground and even in the face of the most pretty woman he knows, he stays there and waits for his friend, even with her wooing him. Dude negate even food for her, it was all his friends. Chad friend.

I believe in BENCH supremacy!
