�Hey Benj,� Paul said greeting his friend as he closed the door to the hotel room.
Paul and Joel were sitting on the floor playing a game on PS2.
�Did you have fun at the concert with Sara?� Joel questioned, not bothering to take his eyes off of the screen.
Paul laughed. �Yeah, was Brakish to your liking?�
Benji plopped down on the bed behind them. �You know, I sometimes wonder if Sara is really my sister. The band sucked�worse than Courtney Love. I don�t know how she listens to that shit.�
�At least it was you and not me!�
�Oh, it�ll be you next time Joel.� Benji assured his brother. �The night wasn�t a complete waste though. I met a girl.�
�Your point being�you meet girls everywhere you go. We all do. We�re in Good Charlotte. Girls flock to us like�well�like girls flock to money. Which by the way they all think we have.�
�The funny thing is she doesn�t think I�m me.�
Paul and Joel both looked back at him.
�Wait. She was at the Brakish show right? Well then obviously she listens to our music. How could she not know who you were?� Paul questioned.
�Well,� he began explaining. �she had a suspicion that I was me�but then I told her that I thought Good Charlotte sucked and that people usually tell me I look like Joel.�
Paul and Joel began laughing hysterically.
�Dude, you are so stupid. Why didn�t you just tell her who you were, get some action and be done with her?� Joel said between bursts of laughter.
�I don�t know.�
�What�s her name, what�s she look like?� Paul asked.
�Her name is Brynn�and she is cute�she kinda�well, she kinda looks like Christina Aguliera. Same hair, same body�different face�but real cute.�
�Oh�� Joel said understandingly. �That explains it all. No wonder you like her�she looks like your woman X-tina.�
�Hey�� Benji said almost offended that his brother would suggest that he liked a girl just because she looked like Christina. Even though he would. �I never said I liked her.�
�Then why didn�t you lie to her about who you were? If you didn�t like her you would�ve been a massive name dropper and got a little play.� Paul could see right through Benji.
�I never lied to her.�
�You so, lied to her bro.�
�No, I didn�t. I told her that I thought the band Good Charlotte sucked, which we do. We�re all losers, there-for we suck. I told her my name was Levi Combs�and it is, in a round about way. And I told her most people say I look like Joel, which they do. No one ever comes up to me and says �hey you look like yourself�. So I was definitely not lying to her.� Benji rationalized.
