Gaming Contest [Surprise]

You know the first time I met him was at a gaming tournament. It was my middle school year and he was on the opposing team. Him and his smug smile. I don't know if he could tell but my team was horrible at video games, didn't know anything about them, yet they still played with me.

Him and his team dominated, a clean match 2-0. Afterwards he smiled that smug smile at me, but I noticed something. His eyes, they were sad. They weren't full of the confidence that I once imagined in it's place. No, they were a dark. It was like a storm was brewing.

Yet at the time I didn't notice and instead decided from that point on I would beat him. I would destroy him at his own game.

So in my first year of high school I didn't expect to be on his team. I didn't want to believe it. I was so full of hatred I lashed out but our captain calmed me down. He told us that if we couldn't cooperate we couldn't join the club.

Of course we both were against it but later that day we started practicing together. He soon realized that I had skill, enough skill to match his killer tactics and understand what I was supposed to do. So that night while we were in the public library discussing tactics, a boy came up to us. He told us that we would never make it onto the team he was.

The next day me and him fought that boy and his side kick. We won. That was the first moment I saw him smile.

I don't know if it was then, but somewhere I fell in love with him. The boy who called me names, hit me for messing up, and was always mad.

I guess I wanted that sad glint to go away and as we kept winning it slowly went away and a bright fire took it's place. A fire that came from not only winning, but having a team that actually loved instead of hated him.

And soon those rare smiles made a reappearances more often. And even though the smile was directed towards the win, I couldn't help to be filled with this intense joy, scratch that it was more than joy...an indescribable feeling.

This feeling made my heart pound and my stomach churn. It made me want to go to the roof of the school and shout that I loved him.

Not soon after I realized my attraction to him and I was scared. I was scared because I loved him more that a team mate. It was also scary that I was in love with a guy.

And I was scared of my feelings. Scared that I could do something that would hurt or diminish our friendship for good.

So I avoided him.

I mean it was for the best.

I realize now that his insults were right and I was nothing but a imbecile who can't do anything right.

So after I've thought long and hard I realized I can get one last thing in before my stupidity takes over again, and it's write this letter.

And I know he might think it's selfish to have just disappeared without a trace, but he needed a chance to live his life and he can't do that while tethered to me and out games.

So as you two get married, have kids, and grow old together. Just remember that he likes his ketchup on the side of his burger to dip it in and remember to put salt on his fries.

Also bride-to-be I hope you take care of him okay? And don't try to find me. And please, whatever you do don't tell him or show him this because it will only give you two problems.

I love you Tyler Wilde and all out moments spent together. And you bride-to-be are awesome to have captured his heart, yet another thing I can add to my can't-do-right list.
