Sock Tip: #21
Aito: And here she comes now. This is my sister-
Andy: Hey, I heard that you got into it with some girl today. Is Dr. Love back at it again?
Aito: -Andrea. No, it was nothing like that-
Mate A: "Dr. Love?" Did she just call you "Dr. Love?"
Aito: Yeah, don't worry about-
Mate B: Yeah, yeah, that's not the first time I've heard it. What's the deal, H. Scott?
Mate C: What, is your alter ego secretly a ladies man, and your sister here your wing-
Andy: It's a play on his name. The "ai" in his name, from Japanese to English, translates as "love."
Mate B: So Dr. Love, huh?
Mate C: He, he, yeah! Does "Dr. Love" want to hang later and test his name on the town?
Aito: No, that wouldn't-
Andy: "Dr. Love" is a name that I came up with a few years ago to get under my brother's skin. And let me tell you: it works. But since he's my older brother, he's not going to do anything about it. As his sister, I was born with the duty to annoy and right to bother him to my heart's content, meaning
that I am the only one that is allowed to call him "Dr. Love." Don't just think that you can start squawking it like a couple of stupid parrots, just because you heard me say it. Only I can joke around with him like that; anybody else needs his okay before they can play around like that.
Mate B: Um...
Andy: We'll talk later, bro. I'll see you on the field. *Walks away after planting a reassuring Pat on his shoulder*
(The guys are left standing in the hallway, silence except for school yeard sounds)
Aito: Andrea Hisashi-Scott, guys. A delightful kick in the teeth.
Mate C: We- I'm sorry man.
Mate A and B: Yeah, man.
Aito: It's fine.
Mate B: Sounds like there's more to the name than she meant to let on.
Mate C: So we don't call you "Dr. Love" right?
Mate A: What happened that-
Aito: I'd rather not talk about it right now. Maybe someday, but not today. And yeah, I'd appreciate it if you didn't.
Mate B: Loud and clear, dude.
