Chapter 12:

Preparing for the School Trip

"Goddamn it, I told you to stop camping in that corner, the other team is gonna get the win if you don't fucking move!" Kaikane cried into his microphone, as he urged his character forward. He held the left click on his mouse down, firing his rifle's entire magazine, quickly reloading. "Shit shit shit, there's a Tank!"

"I got you, just focus on getting those Gas Cans to the Genny." a female voice cried out, the room being swallowed by gunfire. He moved his character across the map, panting loudly as he grabbed the gas can.

"I got it, last one! Get to the edge of the bridge and get ready to defend!"

"Roger!"

He held left click down watching the yellow bar move all the way to the other end of the screen. He let out a cheer as he grabbed a health pack and an adrenaline shot, stabbing the latter into his leg. He raced toward the end of the bridge, the mechanism coming down.

"Shit fuck, two Tanks! Quick, throw your Mollies!" his companion cried, urging Kaikane to react quickly. He selected his molotov and threw it, bathing the street in fire. He went back to his rifle, unloading everything he had into the crowd of undead running toward him.

"The bridge is down, go go go!" he cried, spinning around, racing toward the stock car. He heard his friend screaming as a Charger snagged her, pounding her into the ground. "No! Fluffy!"

"Just go without me Kai! You can make it!"

"No man left behind!" he shouted, racing back to the charger, pulling out his shovel. He let out a scream as he slammed it into the undead, hitting it twice and then a third time. He picked his comrade up, the two limping toward the car. "YES! YES!"

"Good shit, dude, good shit." the girl replied, clapping loudly. Kaikane glanced at his second monitor which was displaying his friend's steam, seeing her chat going wild. "This was awesome, holy fucking shit, I didn't think we would take 3 hours to actually beat this fucking map."

"I'm telling ya, Valve is fucking cursed, they decided to add that large amount of gas cans to screw people over." Kaikane replied, leaning back in his seat. "Ah man... Nothing beats Expert The Passing with Realism Mode in play. Fuck you for convincing me to play this shit, Fluff, I really needed it."

"You are very welcome, my dearest Kai." the girl, or rather, the avatar, winked. The young woman's avatar had long white hair, with fluffy looking curls. She had two coiling horns at the sides of her head. She had bright blue eyes and soft ivory skin. She was wearing a sleeveless, strapless dress that was a fluffy white color, with black sheep embroidered onto it. A lot of people found her avatar cute, but she had told Kaikane once that it wasn't what she was aiming for.

"You know, if you keep using that kind of affectionate speech, the chat is gonna think we're dating."

"I wouldn't mind that. Who wouldn't want a sexy Hawaiian boy as their boyfriend?"

"Except you forget that I'm still in high school and you're an old lady." he said jokingly, earning a hearty laugh from the young woman.

"I didn't know 21 was considered old, love. I guess I'm the new Betty White. Hah... oh the chat is loving this shit. Thanks for the Tier 1 sub KiaraxCalli4Lyfe. You know that is a perfect name, but sadly Calli is mine,"

"Pfft, you wish. Calli is married to her work and nothing else." the Hawaiian boy said, arms crossed as he looked at the stream. "Jesus man, I just noticed the time, isn't it like 3 am for you right now?"
