Finally.
After a long year your finally here to participate in the apex games.
But how did we get here?
//////////////////////////////////////////
"Stop it im not joining your silly competitive games" you say annoyed as you slam the locker in front of you.
"Come on it'll be fun" giggled the voice on the other end of the phone, and that would be your close friend Sam.
"Who cares anyway? I don't have anything important about me" you smirk as you start lacing up your new running shoes.
"Well your dad is the CEO of like the most successful company" Sam said.
You look down at the new shoes and start stretching your leg.
"Hmm" you say out loud
"Is that you considering it?" Sam said hopefully.
"What? No, hell no, I was just looking at these new shoes, dad got me them since apparently a popular person is sponsored by them" you say still confused at how these shoes are worth the hype they get.
"Oh yeah? Who would that popular person be?" Sam says interested.
"Ummm oct...oct...?" You cant for the life of you remember the name.
"Octane !" You and sam both say giggling.
"Yeah him.." you say as you start walking towards the garden.
"Didn't he have his legs blown off? Why does he need shoes, he has robotic legs" Sam says in a cheery voice.
"No idea" a long pause follows
"look Sam, if you want me to join those games so badly I need to see these games happen in action."
You say as you tip top towards the running track.
"You're so tough to convince Y/n but don't worry we'll get to see the games soon I'll keep you up to date on when the next games are live"
Sam announces as you hear dog barking in the background.
"Well anyway I have to feed and walk patches, he's been growing so much since we got him at the shelter"
Sam giggles as you hear patches barking getting closer.
"Alright I'll message you after my run Sam, stay safe" you smile sweetly as you hang up.
You stretch your legs and arms, feeling the warm breeze on your s/c (skin colour ) legs; this throws you back to your childhood when you went to the beach where you could actually spend time with your mother, but times have changed now she's always gone busy with her work and social media presence, only seeing you for big events and photoshoots in front of massive stadiums that make you look like a small fish which is really how you feel next to her, a nobody, a joke.
You sigh and smile at the floor with a light sniffle.
"Maybe those apex games would impress my mother" you ponder whilst kicking a rock effortlessly out of the way.
You put your head backup and see a black car pull in the drive way, out of all the cars you've seen pull up to see father, this one looks different, definitely not a business owner or a family member who is trying to please father for money. Not even our lawyer has that taste in cars.
You stand there for a minute watching a single figure step out the car, "damn" you think as you crease your eyebrows annoyed at the distance preventing you being able to see the figures face.
You start worrying, but start getting your mind of it by jogging.

(Time skip)
After the running you decide to have a warm shower, as you leave and dry your hair with a towel you notice a notification in your phone.
"Apex games looking for more people to join !" You see in bright red letters. You bite your lip in curiousity and focus your eyes in the article in question.
As you skim through it you notice the pictures of the "legends" who are already participating, some faces are familiar, octane, lifeline she went to the same school as you in your early childhood, but one stood out.
"Mirage" you heard of his mother, a amazing woman that your dad has contact with, you smile.
"So that's what her son looks like" you smirk as you put your phone down.
"Doesn't he have anything better to do".
You start smiling again and turn slightly red.
You look back your phone as you put on the clothes.
"Why am I getting this feeling over someone I never met.."
You think annoyed at yourself, you roll your eyes and start heading towards the kitchen.
As you walk in you hear faint conversation in your dads office.
You ignore it, until you hear the word "apex" come up you start listening in, but the walls are too thick to get a clear understanding of any words.
You tap your foot in anger trying not to make too much noise.
You stop and stare at the massive brass like door that leads to father's second home, his office.
It's filled with old books he always promised to read as bed time stories, and in the corner a cabinet full of old toys from when he was younger that would creek at any slight touch.
A massive painting of you and mother behind his desk that he would love to polish for a more clean and "new".
Father's top priority is you unlike, mother  she  always got jealous and would have outbursts of anger towards both of you for slight father-daughter actions like both going clothes shopping.
You set your head on the door frame blinking at the blank ceiling. You hear foot steps getting closer to the door you rush towards the stairs where you hide behind the massive pearl white railing. You hold your breathe as your eyes bolt to the towering door open, you see a very pretty woman with dark skin come out first smiling, her hair black and curly that sat nicely on her sharp face. Your father followed and shook the womans hand, he laughed and placed his hand on her back leading her back to her car.
You went upstairs and breathed in, looking around you noticed boxes next to your room, you tip-toed over to the boxes and slowly unpacked it.
You peeked inside and saw a few items of clothing and a few extras. You stood up staring confused at the box.
"Why? Who packed this, and where am I going " you thought as you tapped your foot.
"Y/N? Are you home ?" Shouted your father from the bottom of the stairs.
"Yes, I'll be down in a second" you responded with, as you stepped over to the bathroom where you washed your face.
"Ugh what is going on today... Maybe this is a dream" you laughed at yourself.
You left shuffling over to the spiral stairs you saw your dad in the kitchen, stepping towards him you noticed he was making you dinner which is rare now a days, you sniffed the aroma in the room.
"Mmm spaghetti?" You said in a calm voice as you hovered over to the counter table to peek over at your father's cooking.
"Yup yup" he giggled as he turned up the heat.
"Awesomeness" you laughed.
You sat down at the counter and pulled out your phone.
"So who was the woman that came round in the black car? And why are there boxes in my room"
....
You bite your lip.
you start feeling on edge as there's a long pause and silence.
(To be continued.)
