Where the Consoles Lead, The Heart Will Follow

The After Date

Jackie's pov

We were both on our way back to Conor's house, excited to see everyone.

As he pulled into his driveway, we both noticed a car that was familiar to the both of us. Curious, we headed inside with our guards up.

As conor opened the door, he was instantly tackled to the ground by some girl.

"Tiffany?" Why does it have to be a Tiffany? Why can't it be a Sursheska? The last time I heard of the name Tiffany was from one of my tournaments. Beach blonde hair, skinny waist, big butt. Let me tell you one thing straight. I won that tournament, but she grabbed all the fame. It made me so mad.

"CONNOR!" She shrieked. Yeah it was Tiffany. "Oh my gawd, I saw your vlog and came rushing over to prevent you from making that horrible mistake. Why have some washed up sea garbage when you can have a beach babe!"

"Jackie, Tiffany. Tiffany, Jackie." Conor said trying to get up.

"Yeah we've met." I spat between my teeth. I pulled Conor successfully out from under her. Who knows how much longer she would've gone before she began to grind on him.

"Gosh, babe. I didn't know you had a sister. She's kind of ugly." The last part she whispered loud enough for me to hear.

"Hehe. Listen, Tiffany. I'm sure way, way, way, way, way down you're a sweet person. This is Jackie, my girlfriend."

"Oh Conor, you've always been a kidder." She playfully hit him on the shoulder. "I know she's your girlfriend, I was only messing with you for old time sake."

"I told you guys they were here- who's she?" Puzzled Franklin.

"Welp, it was a great night Conor, but I'm out." I turned on my heels really not wanting anything this fish bag has to cast. I won't take any of her bullshit. Luckily, I kept my skateboard in Conor's bush, in emergencies like these.

I heard Conor calling out to me, but I was already gone.

--Wednesday, after school--

I skateboarded over to Conor's house, hoping this whole Tiffany thing blew over. To my relief, her car wasn't there. I decided to volunteer at a homeless shelter today, knowing it had been a while. I opened his front door, knowing the others were inside by now.

As I walked through the door, I'm greeted my the familiar gaming curses and noises. They were playing Smash Bros. I proudly pulled out my customized WiiU controller and headed down.

It had already been linked to the gaming system, so all I had to do was pick my character.

"Jack! What the heck, we haven't heard or seen you in any of the classes." Cried Ashley. She chose Bayonetta.

"I heard you dropped out of regular classes and signed up for the virtual ones instead." Mentioned Franklin. He chose Mario.

"I didn't even know you could take virtual PE." Spoke Wendell. He picked Bowser.

"Come here. I haven't seen my own girlfriend in how many days?" Questioned Conor. He selected Pit.

I walked over to the spot that had been saved for me, next to Conor. When I sat down, he tilted my head towards him and landed a surprise kiss on my lips. One that made up all the days I haven't seen him. "Sorry, its just...you know what. Its nothing." I brushed off. I selected Cloud.

"No, please do tell us." Squealed a high pitched girl. Tiffany. Well, I might as well leave now. She came down from up stairs, holding her own customized WiiU controller. She had chosen Jigglypuff.

--

She won. I don't know how but she won. She beat me. I guess I'll have to show her a tad bit more respect than before.

"So Jack, why were you avoiding us?" Asked Franklin.

"I just needed space, that's all. But I guess I'm better now."

"It's because of me isn't it? You saw me again, and got a little worried I'd steal your new boyfriend." Sheeped Tiffany.

"Yeah....that's exactly it...." I felt ashamed to have admitted to stoop so low in my levels of tolerance.

"Well don't you worry Jackie. Things will be different this time around. You can keep the gamers, well all of them except Wendell. He's mine." That sly dog.
"Hmhm. I'm relieved to hear that Tiffany, I apologize for my beforehand behaviors. They were childish and so... unforgivable. May we start over?"

"Of course."

[Yeah its not much of a chapter, but don't say I didn't give you anything. I promise I'll have a better chapter for you guys coming up.]
