Chapter 1: Search and Destroy

"Aww COME ON!" I seriously cannot express how much hatred I have of this stupid game! I mean who the hell just pays $70 on a game just to sit in a corner?? If I die one more time I'm gonna lose it complet- "Zia, dinners ready when you want to come out and eat." "Thanks mom, love youu~." Yeah I definitely need a fucking break after this game. "He's planting the bomb at Alpha." Oh so now someone wants to talk after 4 rounds of me just talking to myself in game chat. "Hello?" I hope they reply back I'm so tired of talking to myself. "Yo, what's up?" Well he definitely sounds my age.

"I'm just glad that I finally have someone to talk to, nobody wants to talk in this game anymore." I hope I don't sound like a complete loser to this stranger. "Exactlyy that's why I am in a Xbox party with my friends that are also on the team, we just talk in there." I got to find a way how to not make it obvious by how much I want to be in that party. "I can invite you if you want, I think my friends wouldn't mind and maybe you could join our group." It's like he literally read my mind. "My name is Arber by the way." "I'm Zia." "Alright I'm sending you the invite now." Ohhh shit I'm lowkey scared to click on it. Should I wait like a minute so I don't join to fast? Ehh what the heck.

~~~~~

Zia then joins the party, and it grew silent. "Sooo guys this is Zia, she is on our team and I thought it would be better if I invited her in here." Arber said. "Ahhh of course you did, always inviting these females." And there he was, Roan. Roan didn't really talk to women, he says he doesn't like them. Zia thought he was such an egotistical douche. At one point she genuinely thought he was gay with how much shit he talked about women. "Roan common now, you know I did this for you" Arber said. "Arber, you know how many times I say this, it doesn't matter how many different females you bring in here. I don't associate with them, especially on here." Zia got the biggest ick to make her scoff at him.

"What's with the noises honey?" Roan said while laughing. "Don't you dare call me that." Zia about had it with this tool. "Well if there's a problem, no one asked for you to be here. Just leave." There was uncomfortable silence in the party. "Dude can you just chill the fuck out? You can't talk to the new member of our group like that." Arber said. Roan chuckled at his sentence. "New member? Last time I checked I'm the leader and I decide who is in the group and who isn't and I'm telling you a female is definitely not gonna be in it." "Roan, when are you gonna stop being so uptight and get laid for once?" Arber barked back at him. Roan just chuckled away and mumbled "whatever" under his breath.

Zia then gets added in a group chat with several other people. Everyone added her back except one person, Roan. "Are you gonna add me back?" Zia asked Roan. "I thought it was pretty obvious but I guess not, because females like to just ignore everything, but no sweetheart I'm not adding you back. I don't talk to females." Zia was so grossed out by this man. "Whatever dude." "Zia don't worry about him he's just a freak." Arber said to her. "Arber you are such a simp" Roan said laughing. "Roan shut the fuck up, just because he talks to girls like normal people doesn't mean he's a simp, you act like such a dick." It's like Zia could hear Roan smirk through the headset as he chuckled.

A couple of hours of us just talking past and I realized what time it was. "Ahhh shit it's almost 1am and I didn't even go eat dinner." I walked out to the kitchen and saw that my mom cleaned up and put my plate of food in the fridge in a container. I grabbed the container sticking it in the microwave to heat up. While I'm watching the timer count down for my food on the microwave, I looked down on my phone to see it getting blown up in the group chat. Seeing Roans name pop up just pissed me off. I mean who the hell does this guy think he is? After the microwave dinged, I was getting a call from Arber.

"Hey what's up?" "Are you getting back on the game tonight?" Arber asked very hopefully. "Your favorite Roan will be onnn~" there is no way he just said that. "Arber...I don't know how else to make this clear to you, I do not like Roan and I do not want anything to do with him whatsoever." "He's not that bad once you get to know him, he's actually a sweet guy but he'll kill me if he heard me say that." Arber said laughing. "Honey that's because the statement is very opposite of him." I was about to cry laughing. "And plus it's already 1am, I'm getting sleepy and I have work tomorrow at 10am I want to actually get up on time and not be late especially form staying up all night on a game talking with strangers." "Heyyy we are not strangers anymore!" Arber said with hurtfulness in his voice. "Calm down Arber it was just a joke!" This man makes me laugh. We then said our goodbyes and goodnights then shortly followed me hanging up the phone.

As I was getting ready for bed I couldn't stop thinking about Roan. Does he really mean all the things he said? There's no way he actually thinks and believes these statements. The more I thought about it the more angry I got with myself. I just want to completely forget about this guy. I hate him. I hate Roan.
