Chess: The Next Move

Chapter 5: Love Game

Listen to this song bitch :)

Anyways, this chapter is love ❤️ not the inappropriate love, but the good love.

There's this couples festival in canoga park this week. Cherry was hired to make the games and activities. Hopefully, she does a good job on these games. Sometimes, cherry's games don't make sense. Since this is a couples festival, she'll probably do a good job since cherry is in love with love.

I signed Marissa and Tyler up for the festivities. They teased me about me and Liam, but nope. Our friendship isn't really going anywhere. It's been the same since we first met.

I played the song "Hear You Me" in my car on the way to work.

May Angels lead you in.

I always say my favorite song and then it changes, but I really like this one.

When I got to the building, Liam was there helping out the construction workers. There were some detectives at the site.

"Can I help you?" I said.

They showed me my picture with Leatherface and asked my a bunch of questions.

"How long have you known him?"
"Well, I saw him in the movie but if you meant in person, just yesterday.

"How old did he look?"
"Well, I don't know but he said he hadn't been inside a store for 65 years so he must be hella old."

"Is he still alive?"
"Nope, he tried to kill me but I used self defense and he got killed."

"Then I've been hearing right."
"About what?"

"There's a man pretending to be Leatherface in Texas, like cosplay. And you killed him..."

...

"Sir, he was about to kill me and my friends!"

"I know ma'am, it's alright. You're not in trouble. Just thought you should know."

Omg. I killed a cosplay dude? I killed a cosplay dude!

I really am part of the "I murdered Somebody" group.

Actually, it should be called "I murdered an Innocent" group.

Oh well.

So we're at my house and cherry is secretly writing up the games. Ok, I have to say I'm really excited to see how these games work. Yeah, it's true.

Game Day

It's the big day! No, it's not a wedding (yet, hehe), it's the day Marissa and Tyler prove their love for each other.

Apparently, Marissa and Tyler are the only ones who entered the contest. This is gonna be fun. Lolololol.

I got a foam finger that says #1 and popcorn in a heart shaped bowl. Valentine's Day is in two months, I think. Yeah, no. It's in one month ;)  I'm pretty sure everybody is rooting for Marissa and Tyler since there's no one else to root for .

Ship names. Marler. Myler. Tarissa. Myler Lewoechlin. I'm having too much fun with this.

I sat in the judges' table, next to Lady Gaga and Simon Cowell. Well, I sat between them. Cherry just stood around the stage so that she can move on with the rounds.

"Wassup!" I eagerly yipped to the two judges sitting next to me. 

They both gave the peace sign. At least Simon didn't judge me. ✌🏼️

"Hey everybody! Welcome to this love festival of which name I forgot!"

Everybody clapped and laughed since cherry had no idea the love festival was just called "love festival."

"Since only one couple entered, we're gonna make these games a little challenging." She said that in a sort of evil voice. I can tell she has something in store for Myler Loechlin.

"The first game is "Do you really know?"

Do you really know? Is basically a game show where a series of questions are asked to see if they really know each other. Simple as that, but cherry's questions make it complicated.

"Question 1: What did Tyler's mom say when Tyler was born!"

What. The. Actual. F***.

How the hell would Marissa know that? Scratch that. How the hell would TYLER know that?

Marissa tried.
"His name is Tyler?"

"EHHHHH. Wrong."

Everybody still had straight faces. •_•

Simon and Gaga were confused just as much as I was.

"Question 2: What were Marissa's parents doing when she was first born?"

All I could do was yawn. Sigh. Let all the boredom out. I'm waiting for the second game which sounds Interesting.

Tyler tried.
"Crying of happiness?"

"EHHHHHH. Wrong."

Morgan blurted out from the crowd while Audrey was reading the program paper.
"Well what did happen?"

"They were arguing with each other about how to take Marissa to Universal Studios. A car or a van. You know, just in case they wanted more children."

Marissa actually has an estranged brother. His name is Marshall Lewis. The last time I saw him was sophomore years. After that, he suddenly disappeared. No one heard from him again. Will we hear from him again? Let's see.

So this next game was that Marissa had to find Tyler's hand hanging out from a wall, but there are 5 identical hands. She has to find his

I got confused.

Morgan got confused.
"Wait, does Tyler have 5 hands?"

"No, you ditzoid," Audrey said, untangling her dirty blonde hair.

Simon Cowell and Lady Gaga held up signs that say the number "1".

"Put those down," I whispered, maybe a little embarassed because of this whole game thing.

I had to say something.

"I want to say that, this love festival is sweet, but these games are ridiculous. Cherry, I love you, but you made these games a little too impossible. I know, I'm known as a cold hearted bitch who has a small grudge against the world. I'm known as that one girl who wouldn't care if you got hurt. I'm the type who only cares about my family. No one else. But let me tell you this. I know, what I'm saying has nothing to do with love, but I'm trying to sound inspirational here! So, you guys should all know, that love is love. You don't have to know each other to love each other. That's what makes the relationship interesting! And if you wanna learn more about each other, then do that! You don't need to know EVERY detail about your partner. You just gotta know that your love is Unbreakable, or however long it lasts."

Everybody was either clapping or crying. I told you, I'm good at roasts and toasts.
