Episode One: "Genetics"

[Grandpa Gohan]

Douglas Olsen
Houston, Texas

?Shit!? he thought to himself as he barreled down the halls, racing towards the room at the end. Doug was a freshman in college and always seemed to find himself late for math, no matter how early he left. He slowed down, catching himself just before slamming into wood door, something that he?d become quite good at in his short stay at the University.

Slowly he turned the knob and pushed open the door, trying not to make too much noise so he wouldn?t interrupt the lecture. As if, Dr. Foley never let him slide.

?Late again are we Mr. Olsen??

?Obviously, or you wouldn?t have brought it up?? Doug quickly retorted.

?Have a seat Mr. Olsen, so we can get this show on the road.?

With that the freshmen quickly found his seat, though for him being late all the time it probably wasn?t the best. Sitting on his left side happened to be Wendy, a stunning looking? Latina and Doug?s girlfriend.

?Late again are we? Maybe you enjoyed last night a little too much!? she teased.

?I did enjoy last night, though that?s not the reason I?m late, some dumb ass got into a car accident which backed up traffic forever.?

?Mr. Olsen, would you please refrain from talking while I?m trying to lecture? Dr. Foley?s words were a cold as ice.

?Sure thing, Foley? Doug shot back, knowing that Foley preferred to have his title said, because it would empower him and make him feel like he had a bigger penis, or that?s what the Doug and a few of his friends thought.

~~******~~

The class ended with the ring of the bell, and Doug let out a sigh, almost thanking god that the ?long? hour was over and he could finally get out of the classroom.

Wendy and Douglas walked hand in hand through the halls of the math building, drawing ever closer towards the exit, both knowing that friends awaited the other side.
