Bad boy and the gamer girl

I. I am living my truth.

Author note: Ada is our gamer girl! Laura, Ashley and Ben are her friends from high school.

Ada's POV:

Ada," wake up !!! you are no longer a teeny weeny" my mom shouting from her room and she is getting ready for her office. I am still in my bed with frizzy hair, barefaced with a pillow on my face pouting at my mother for waking me up so early, after a slumber party with my high school friends Laura, Ashley and Ben. I wish I could say "Mom lemme sleep some more time", but I had to bite my tongue.

Holiday vibes are over. Time to get back to the daily hustle. I'm officially a senior now!. "OMG!!! I am already late".

I spent my holidays with some nerdy stuff, Xbox cloud gaming and working on my gaming simulator with Ben.

I took a quick shower, put my vintage clothing on, stuffed sandwich into my mouth and went to greet my mom. She's already flyin' out the door, yellin' at me to get in the car. Next thing I know, Ben - my homie from next door, who goes to my school - hops in, too

We're pretty much there! My mother dropped us off in the school, ushered me do's and don'ts , pecked on my cheek and left us. Laura and Ashley rolled up and we dipped out to our classrooms. We crushed our morning session and now we're on lunch break.

Laura, Ashley, Ben, and I were chillin' around the table, having a dope convo about our holiday vibes. Suddenly, I got this weird feeling like the air's stuck, like time froze. Everything's hella calm, but my Spidey senses are tingling. It was straight-up peaceful everywhere, but I got this hunch something was going down behind my back.

I flipped around and the whole crew was gasping for air, and then BAM! These three Adonis-types appeared from thin air! Can't deny it, those Greek gods had me mesmerized, but Mr. Green Eyes, right in the center, stole the show. I had to get a grip, though. They walked by our table, and someone hollered, 'Evelyn, what's up! He was wildly tossing the book in the air the whole time, then he plopped down near our table and got totally sucked into their convo.
Laura and Ashley are gossipin' like crazy and gettin' all worked up over those dudes. Me? I'm just observin' from afar. But Ben's all about that gaming life, buried in his book, trying to level up our gaming simulator.

School's out! Laura, Ashley, and I are hitting the mall, gonna score some sick new outfits and accessories. My mom, Sasha - the tech genius at some fancy company - hooked me up with her credit card. And that's the reason she gave her my name, Ada, straight up. My dad's off on a wild adventure, snapping pics of wildlife in Africa for his photography gig.

We hit the mall, and I spotted a peach-colored dress that's totally missing from my wardrobe. I grabbed my outfit in no time, but Laura and Ashley were taking forever to try on theirs, totally living their best shopping lives. Meanwhile, I picked up a tech mag and started flipping through it, searching for some dope gaming articles. Then, BAM! I saw a familiar face - Mr. Green Eyes, staring back at me from the page. I was totally stunned. I did a triple take, checking his details and facial features, and yeah, it was similar to him. The article was titled 'Forbes Under 30' - no joke!

I was totally lost in thought, wondering if it was really him or just my mind playing tricks. Laura and Ashley snapped me back to reality, done with their shopping spree. I hastily closed the book and returned it to its spot, keeping the article on the down low. We headed home, and Laura and Ashley grabbed a quick bite at my place before bouncing. Then, Ben rolled up.
Ben and I are crushin' it on our gaming simulator project. We've built the sim from scratch and now we're focusin' on the software. My mom's lendin' a hand with the coding - she's a total tech whiz. Our game's a treasure hunt thriller with sick racing and chasing scenes, which is why we needed a sim. Plus, it's packed with hilarious quests and an epic storyline based on real-life events.

I'm blown away by our progress, just gotta squash a few bugs. We're pourin' our hearts into this gaming simulator for the hackathon, and we're countin' on it to pay off. We're flyin' the flag for our school, and a win would mean showin' off our creation to the tech titans in Silicon Valley, so that we could land some investors. No pressure, but we're all in on this one.

Ben's a total stud - handsome and crazy smart. He's been helpin' me out with my game simulator and software, and we're crushin' it. We're just undergrads, but we're prove-in' that with the internet, we can figure out anything. We can literally go from buildin' a hairpin to a helicopter with just a few Google searches. I'm hella grateful to have Ben as my partner in crime. His dad's a uni professor, and his mom's a total sweetheart - a stay-at-home mom who's always been super warm and welcomin'. I've known her since we were kids, 'cause Ben and I have been homies since kindergarten.

It's almost nighttime, and Ben and I have been grindin' away till 2:30 AM. We've got school tomorrow, but we're not tryin' to miss our fave nighttime ritual - star gazin'! I've got a sick telescope, courtesy of my dad for my 13th birthday. We love chillin' out, snackin' on some goodies, and tryin' to spot new stars in the galaxy. We can get lost in the stars for hours - it's our go-to nighttime vibe.

School's been back in session since Thursday, and I'm so ready for the weekend! Ben and I are plottin' somethin' epic - stay tuned!

Guys, who's up for a lit weekend?!
