He was quite right.

________

"Jesus.. George?" having realized he had been swallowed with the thoughts in his head, After his friend had asked him about his love life. His train of thought completely vanished, "huh." George exclaimed, Looking at his friend. 

"Did you doze off or something? I was talking to you!" His friend said throwing his arms in the air, Kind of pissed off.

"Oh- Uhm, Sorry" George blurted.

"Whatever weirdo, You didn't have to think so much about the question-"  His friend added, Sticking they're hands inside of their jacket pockets.

"George- have you ever kissed a woman?" He friend asked out of nowhere.

He looked at his friend flustered, What kind of question is that? especially right now. "Tommy, Chill out with the questions." George says, Turning down his question. \

"Ooh, Your ignoring the question.. Is it because you're lonely?" Tommy coughed, Putting his hand over his mouth slightly laughing into his hand. 

 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘥.

"Oh my lord, Its not like you have ever spoken to a woman either." George accused, ruining Tommy's moment.

Tommy blinked at George, Opening his mouth to say something then immediately putting his finger down not saying anything.

_______

"George-" 

Tommy pointed at the game store that we had stopped in front of "Lets go in, I would like to buy a new game for my PC-" Tommy spoke, Rushing George into the shop.

𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭.

𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺, 𝘚𝘰 𝘐 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵

Stood at the entrance they both begin to look around, Tommy had ran to another isle. George hadn't noticed and began looking at the games himself 

 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦.

"Tommy, This place is old. The games kind of suck here" George groaned disappointed, Looking for Tommy. "I really think this is a waste of time" George coughed, Tapping Tommy's shoulder.

"huh?" Tommy gasped, Frightened at the sudden touch. George gestured to Tommy that they should leave, Tommy nodded in agreement. 

________

The cashier looked at them walking back to the door, Empty handed. 

"Hello, Did you boy's find anything?" The man smiled, waiting for an answer.

"No sorry-" Tommy said accidentally bumping into a shelf almost falling back, But catching himself. George groaned, Embarrassed for what Tommy had done. 

𝘖𝘬𝘢𝘺, 𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘱.

George had bent down to pick up the games Tommy knocked over, Setting one back on the shelf then proceeding to swoop up the last one. He looked at the cover and realized he had never heard of the game before, He began to read the back of the case.

"𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘔𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 24 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴, 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬."

The cover only had a picture of a few poorly drawn houses and people, It looked old.

 03-12-2008. The date read on front bottom left, George looked back at the cashier and then back at the game. 

"How much for this?" George asked, Walking to the pay area. The cashier took the game from his hands and looked around for a price tag, Which wasn't there.

"Well, It seems it doesn't cost anything-" The guy whispered aloud, Handing it back to him.

𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺? 𝘐𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯? 𝘞𝘰𝘸.

George tapped Tommy who had been texting his mum, gesturing for them to leave once more. With the game in his hand, George walked out of the shop with a new video game. 

________

 Once George was home, He had forgotten about the game. He had put it on his dresser next to his laptop before going downstairs for supper.

𝘖𝘩! 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦.

He had suddenly remembered halfway through dinner, He decided he was full and excused himself from the table. Walking up the stairs and into his room, he grabbed the game and took it over to his laptop, Putting the disc in.

𝘖𝘬𝘢𝘺, 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵?

He scrolled with his mouse, clicking random files without seeming to be able to find it. "C'mon.. Where is it?" He groaned and leaned back in his chair. Closing his eyes and thinking that maybe the game didn't work, It didn't bug him since it cost him nothing but it was still a bummer.

𝘋𝘪𝘯𝘨. 

he had heard from the laptop, He opened his eyes seeing a file in the middle of the screen. his eyes widened after realizing it worked, he sat up straight and looked at the file.

" 24 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴. "

He read the file name, Amused he smiled and stretched his back ready to game. Clicking on the file it began to load slowly.

"I guess its slow, Its old." He added, closing his eyes to wait. He then began to feel something so he quickly opened his eyes, Seeing green sparkles around him and his laptop. "What-" He tried to get  sentence out, Before his hands warping into the game.
