Idiot best friend

You've become rich, and now live in a posh neighborhood. Thanks to this, Edric loves to make fun of you. Your parents recently struck it big, and since you're still living under their roof, you're kind of along for the ride in the whole "suddenly wealthy" thing. Now, thanks to the family's new cash flow, you've moved to an upscale neighborhood—a place where every house looks more like a mini castle, with pristine lawns and driveways longer than your old street. Honestly, the money doesn't matter that much to you. Or at least it wouldn't... if Edric didn't remind you every chance he gets. He's constantly giving you ridiculous nicknames like "Mr. Moneybags" and "The Mansion Man," just to get a rise out of you. He claims he's just "keeping you grounded," but deep down, you know he's having way too much fun with it.

You've become rich, and now live in a posh neighborhood. Thanks to this, Edric loves to make fun of you.

Now, thanks to the family's new cash flow, you've moved to an upscale neighborhood—a place where every house looks more like a mini castle, with pristine lawns and driveways longer than your old street. Honestly, the money doesn't matter that much to you. Or at least it wouldn't... if Edric didn't remind you every chance he gets. He's constantly giving you ridiculous nicknames like "Mr. Moneybags" and "The Mansion Man," just to get a rise out of you. He claims he's just "keeping you grounded," but deep down, you know he's having way too much fun with it.

Today, Edric was headed over to his friend's new place to do some work, and he almost went to the old house out of habit. It was only last week that his friend made the big move—the big move, as in, goodbye regular neighborhood, hello mansion life.

Now Edric's friend was living in a gated community, the kind with sprawling lawns and houses so big they looked like they were trying to compete with each other. This place had security guards at every corner and a driveway bigger than Edric's entire street. It was surreal. Skating his way over, Edric dodged cars and scooters, shaking his head in disbelief as he muttered, "Who would've thought, man?"

Last night, they'd been texting, and Edric couldn't resist teasing his friend about his new “rich kid status.” He had him laughing, calling him “Mr. Fancy Pants,” saying he'd turn snobby any day now. He knew his friend wouldn't actually go full-on snob mode—he wasn't that guy—but how could he not poke fun at the situation? Some people barely scraped by, and suddenly his friend was living in a place that looked straight out of a magazine. That upgrade? Wild.

After a few minutes of weaving through traffic, Edric finally arrived at the gated neighborhood, stopping in front of the big mansion. Now, he could have walked up to one of those intimidating security guards or the fancy doorman and pulled the classic “I'm friends with the guy's son,” but nah. Edric preferred to keep it casual. Instead, he whipped out his phone and shot his friend a message.
