Tale of Friends

Chapter 11

"So uhhh you two are back together huh?" Nina asked quietly.

"Yep..." I awkwardly replied. We sat in silence for a few more minutes. I heard Aleks clear his throat from the backseat. After that there was more silence. Seamus coughed. That's it I've had enough.

"Nina, stop trying to make this awkward. Yes, we had problems and we broke up. Then we got back together. It is my relationship with Seamus so I would appreciate it very much if you backed the hell out."

"Shesh, calm the hell down. You're such a retard." she muttered at the end and acting as if I didn't hear it.

"I'm sorry, but what was that?" I asked innocently. 

"I hate you." she punched my shoulder playfully.

"I love you too sweety!" I replied reaching over and giving her a hug. After that, the conversation with everyone in the car started up again. We talked about our uni courses and eventually we reached the parking place to the hotel. I then remembered that Nina and I were Australians and therefore drove on the opposite side of the road and we didn't have an American licence. I raised this concern to Nina but she just shugged and said that if we were going to stay in the US then we need to learn how to drive properly here.

When we all got up to our rooms, I got changed and ran straight out the door and to Seamus' room. I got Aleks to let me in and I grabbed both their laptops and ran straight back to my room. I gave Nina the laptop that looked kind of beaten up because she thought it was the one that belonged to Aleks. We logged on to the cruddy, yet functional hotel wifi and got started on our uni planner and course selection. I selected a few courses that I found interesting, they were Drama, Music, Food Tech and as a mandatory I had to take business(for my parents sake) and IT because the University course we were on was mainly IT based as all the assignments and homework pieces we are meant to do are to be in the form of a video which we are meant to upload to YouTube to share with the professor.

When Nina and I had both finished contemplating what we were going to do, we searched through our computers to see what kind of secrets the guys were hiding. We found they had uplaoded a fair amount of games on Uplay so we got to work on that. I was on Assassian's Creed II and I was finishing the game which Seamus hadn't gotten 'round to finishing. I heard someone walk up behind me but I thought it was Nina until the unidentified person wrapped their arms around my waist. The person behind me whispered into my ear. "Got you." 

Oh no. Had he found me? Had I not covered my trackes well enough? I started to freak out until the person behind me let go and stood infront of me. It was Seamus, thank goodness. If it had been HIM and not Seamus behind me, it would be a whole other situation right now. 

Enough about my past, I can't think about it anymore. I need to focus on my current life and not what's in my past. I finally calmed down and looked up at Seamus. 

"Hello User! What can I do for you?" I asked using my best ImmortalHD voice. He gestured towards his laptop and then he realized what I was playing.

"How did you get to the end so fast? I was stuck near the very beginning and that had taken me months to get there and it took you what?" he asked quickly looking at his watch."Five minutes?" 

I nodded.

"HOLY MOTHER OF LORD FUCKING JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY!" he screamed without warning.

"What?" I asked, still kind of in shock because of his outburst.

"You are even better than Koots at this game!" He said in disbelief. I shook my head, Koots was the whole reason I got into Assassians Creed in the first place, there is absolutely no way that I was better than him. No matter, I took the compliment and moved on. 

I grabbed the laptops and handed them to Seamus and Aleks because they needed to upload some videos. Seamus said goodbye to both of us but for some reason Aleks only said it to me. I glanced over to Nina and saw that she was about to start crying. I shooed the guys out so I could talk to my best friend.

"Hey, what's up, buttercup?" I asked

"I *sniffle* think he *hic* doesn't like me anymore." Nina said shakily. 

I asked her what she meant and all she knew was that he was becoming distant and cold. She said they hadn't gotten into a fight but apparently he just had a sudden mood swing. She asked for advice but I couldn't give any to her unless I knew what was wrong with him. I called Seamus for help in the matter. I told him that I needed to talk to him with Nina around so he walked back to my room and sat listening and suggesting things that could be wrong.

"He recently told me that you aren't the type of girl he is used to." Seamus explained.

"What *sniffle* do you mean*hic*?" Nina inquired.

"He said he is used to girls who start of really outgoing and independant and that gradually change to become more reliant on him. He is so used to being there and helping out whenever he can when it comes to his girlfriend. I think he just wants you to rely on him more and maybe tell him all the things that are going on in your life."

"Since when did you become such a girl?" I asked.

"Shut the hell up." 

"No I won't until you prove you are not turning into a girl." I stated.

"He named his pegasus Deathbringer." said Nina weighing in.

"Yeah as a replacement for Glidey McHorse which is what a total girl would name her pegasus." I stated

"Yeah well I play Call of Duty and..."

"We could both beat you at COD."Nina interupted.

"While you need guns to beat me, I could easily assassinate your asses in Assassin's Creed I,  Altaïr's Chronicles, Bloodlines, Assassians Creed II, Discovery, Project Legacy, Brotherh-"

"WE GET IT!" they both yelled.

"Jeez, I get it, no need to be jerks about it." I said.

"Okay, we need to talk to Aleks and by we I mean you Nina. We also need to get ready and pack to go home tomorrow and explain to our parents about the college applications and dont forget we have to tell our parents about them." I said gesturing towards Seamus.

"That is a problem for another hour. Right now we still haven't gotten them souvenirs and your sister is CRAZY!" Nina stated.

I couldn't disagree with that. I reached for my wallet and grabbed a couple $20 notes and grabbed both their hands and dragged them out the door. 

Now is the time...
