I followed Mei down the stairs, taking them down one at a time. Once the machines came down, they landed side by side in front of my parents and my sister. Mei hugs my sister with a big smile. I hear my sister say things that I don't understand. As soon as I look away from the girls, my parents start asking me questions, my mother first.

-Is the day going well? Are you watching Mei? she is fine ?

-Well yes she is fine you see and not dead.

The girls heard my response and nearly fell to the ground laughing. I roll my eyes before making it clear to my mother that the day is going well. I set the table with the help of Mei and my sister and went up to my room to put on my pajamas: A plain black T-shirt with also plain black shorts. You have to be at least presentable even in your pajamas in front of Mei. As I left my room I smelled the good smells of my mother's house and kitchen. I hurried down the steps. I arrived just waiting to eat. Around nine o'clock I go back to my room with a full stomach. As soon as I put my butt on my seat and put my helmet on my pillows, my friend sent me an invitation to come fight with him. He didn't waste any time...

I accept his invitation and hear him say in my headset:

-Hey man, glad you're back to play again.

-Hi my friend, you didn't waste time inviting me.

-Yes, sorry but I have to win a trophy and you are the only one who can help me win it.

-You've come to the right place. I replied with a small smile.

We play for about 10 minutes winning 4 matches when he asks me.

-How are you at home at the moment? Did you tell me that your sister's best friend was here and that she was going to stay for a while?

-Yes, I'm not going to lie to you, she's cooler than my sister.

-Ha yeah, and she's beautiful? Besides, what is her name? I hear him smile through the microphone.

He still hasn't changed...

-Yes, she's fine and drinkable. But don't think you're going to do it man.

She is just downright magnificent...

-I see that you have taken him under your wing. He laughs behind his helmet.

-Dude What you're saying is just that she's my sister's friend, I don't want you to die.

-Of course I think you're falling for her...

-Focus on the battle if you want to win instead of talking bullshit.

I still smile in spite of myself while thinking about what just said.

I refocus on my duel and resume the game.
