That night after training and dinner, Olivia really wanted to play Minecraft. Her wanting to play was also a reminder of her "friends" being at a sleep over together. That didn't matter. Olivia wanted to play, so she did. She wasn't going to let her bad day get in the way of doing what she liked.

She sat at her computer, slipping her headset over her ears. Olivia loved her gaming set up. She had a white desk with a pink monitor, pink PC, a fun gaming chair, a cool keyboard and mouse, and her pink headset. Just two years ago, Olivia could never imagine herself playing video games, let alone loving the color pink.

Logging into her game, she noticed that one of her friends was currently online and playing as well. She looked at the name, Sarah. Olivia debated for a moment on if she should join Sarah's game or not. After all Sarah was the one who wanted to invite her, so she joined.

Once the game loaded in, Sarah noticed she had joined, sending her a message in game. "Do you want to voice chat?" The message said.

"Sure" Olivia typed back, getting on the voice call.

"Hey, I saw you left the park early" Sarah said. "Are you okay?"

Olivia debated on what she wanted to tell Sarah. If she told the truth, she could find out more information on the situation. If she lied, she would never know. "Well, to be honest, when I was getting my food, I overheard Audrey saying really mean stuff about me . . ."

"I was afraid it was that" Sarah sighed, her voice soft. Sarah was really similar to Olivia. She had a childlike spirit, loved video games, crafts, and trying new things. Sarah was just as tall as Olivia, and had short blonde hair.

"Shouldn't you be at the sleepover?" Olivia asked and she played the game.

"I told them I wasn't going, not unless they invited you. So I didn't go" Sarah said.

Olivia perked up at Sarah's words. Maybe Natasha was right about having to find that real friend. "That's very nice of you" Olivia smiled. "Thanks for sitting up for me."

"Of course. I've always liked you way better than the other girls. And by the way, I think your accent is cool" Sarah said.

Olivia had never had the courage to ask her friends this before, but she felt comfortable asked Sarah. "Do you think you'd want to come over to my house and hang out sometime?"

"Sure! What are you doing tomorrow?" Sarah asked, continuing to play the game as she spoke.

"Nothing" Olivia said, excitedly. "Let me go ask my mom if you can come over!"

"Ill ask mine too" Sarah said, leaving her gaming system to go ask her mom. Olivia did the same, running into the living room to see her mom and Steve watching TV.

"You look excited. What's up?" Natasha asked, seeing Olivia's giddy appearance as she entered the room.

"Can Sarah come over tomorrow?" Olivia asked

"Sarah? Isn't she apart of the group that was saying bad things about you? Absolutely not" Natasha groaned.

"Yea, she is, but she stood up for me. She told me that she ditched the sleepover, because I wasn't invited" Olivia said, defending her friend. "Please?"
