Violent Desires - Muke (Vampire AU)

4 - Fifa

I went straight home from the Starbucks. The encounter with the rude boy bothered me.

I shook it off for now, and pulled into the driveway of my house. I took the keys out of the ignition. I locked the car and walked into the house. No one was downstairs at the moment so I just went straight to my room.

I realized school would be starting in about five days, so I went to go find Janie to ask her if she had my schedule.

I found her in her room, sitting on the edge of her bed, typing on her laptop.

"Hey Janie." I said, and she looked up, "I was wondering if you have my schedule for school."

Janie put the laptop on her bed and got up, "Oh yes, I do have it! I almost forgot!"

I followed her downstairs and into the living room, where an envelope was on the center coffee table. She handed it to me. I opened the envelope and looked at my schedule. It was so much different than Australia's system, and it took a lot of explaining from Janie until I finally understood it. There was also lists of supplies that I needed, one list from each class.

I said my thanks and went back upstairs to gather all the supplies I needed, like binders, notebooks, folders, highlighters, pencils and that sort of stuff.

After digging through my school supplies, I found everything from the list, and shoved it all into my blue and black plaid backpack.

I took off my shoes and flopped down on my bed, checking my phone and texting Kris.

I laid there for a little bit having a conversation with Kris, and then someone knocked on my door.

Too lazy to get up, I just shouted, "Come in!"

The door opened and Anica stepped in.

"Are you doing anything else today?" She asked.

I checked the time, and it was about 3:00, "Not really." I said.

"Well, do you wanna come play Fifa with me on the Xbox?" She asked a bit nervously.

"Sure! I love Fifa." Which was the truth. Me and Kris used to play it all the time.

Her face brightened, "Ok!" She said, turning and leading me to what I remembered Janie telling me was the spare room.

The room was pretty small and plain, with white walls, a white bed in the corner, and a flatscreen T.V. on a stand on the far side. There were three black beanbags and one black couch in front of it.

Anica turned on the Xbox 1 console which was on the shelf of the T.V. stand. She set up the game and handed me a controller and we started playing.

"I'm so going to beat you this time. I mean it." It was the last championship game in the tournament we were playing, and it was me against Anica. I was determined to beat her.

"Yeah, yeah, you said that last time." Anica joked.

I lost last time. But I wouldn't loose this time.

I bit my lip as I concentrated on the game. I had the ball, so I passed it to another one of my players, and the player made it past all the defenders. It was just me and the goal now.

"Come on..." I said, getting close to the goal. The goalie came out, and I shot the ball into the back of the goal.

"Yes!" I shouted jumping up, making Anica laugh. I quickly sat back down when I saw the kick-off about to start again.

The game went on, and Anica scored twice, to which she fist pumped in the air both times.

I enjoyed knowing that I at least had one new friend, and one potential friend in this new town.
