I must say, the other days of high school has been pretty dull and boring. I'm so used to it that it has become a routine that is quite predictable because it goes the same every. single. week. Band rehearsals every Wednesday, pop quizzes every now and then, Mondays that always seem so torturous for no particular reason and the never ending battle to fight procrastination. The longer I'm in high school, the more it felt like another middle school. It is all nothing but a wheel of grades and academic matters that keeps on spinning endlessly, but with more people who looked like giants. Now the only thing that excites me is beating Chad on Ground Shot.
Chad is a friend of mine who lives a few houses away from mine. We have known each other for quite some while, because we were in the same class on English back then. He brought his favourite action figure for show and tell, which happened to be my favourite as well. The action figure he brought was Superman. Like any other confident boy, I came up to him afterwards because his story captivated me. We started talking and soon became best friends. I kept on coming to his house since then. I still do, although we don't go to the same school anymore.
============================
From: Chad
Come over to the HQ
============================
I take my bike by the garage and quickly come over to his house. HQ is actually his bedroom, he said that it sounds cooler than just saying the actual object. For the record, HQ does not stand for head quarter. They're just two unmeaningful letters being put up together by my friend, Chad.
I can enter his house easily, because his family has known me well and they welcomed me as if I am a part of their family. Without a knock or a ring of a bell, I enter his house. His mom is on the couch, watching TV. She knows that it's me and without even looking, she said to me "Hi Ken, Chad's upstairs."
"Oh okay, thanks."
I go upstairs and head for his room or the HQ. The door of his room has lots of key holes on its right side. None of it functions now, but they used to. He said that it is to keep intruders away from getting in to HQ. A month later, his mom told him to unscrew them all because his mom couldn't get into his room to wake him up. Chad didn't want to unscrew them and decided to dump the keys and left it unlock. Well, except for one because he'll need it for privacy matters. Whatever that is. The door is unlocked for some reason so that I can enter with ease.
"Yo, Ken. Ken you please sit down." He said, facing the other way around me on his computer chair. His head is crowned with a horrendous handmade crown. "Stop it with the pun will you." I said.
"No one ken tell me what to do, so please, sit."
"Fine." I sit on his queen sized bed because I'm not in the mood to mess around. Mostly because of the pun.
"Now what?" I said, still annoyed.
Chad turned around, still sitting on his beloved chair while his finger points to his crown. "See this crown?"
"Yeah, so what?"
"I won League of Legends." He said with his cocky accent. "And how should I care?" I really don't care.
"Just let me enjoy my victory for once, dammit!"
"Woah, easy on the language man. Besides, League of Legend is child's play so I d..." He got up from his chair and put his finger on my lips. "Shh.. Do not comment on my glorious victory." His finger was so pressed to my lips that I can taste his finger. No further discussion on that finger and every bit of weirdness going on at that moment.
"Okay" he said, taking his finger away from my lips. "How about some Ground Shot to celebrate my victory?"
Maybe he thought that the tables have turned for him, because he's finally won a game. Usually I'm the one who ask him to play Ground Shot because nothing can beat the feeling of being undefeated. I took the console left for me and started playing. Again, I defeat him which ends his moment of victory. It is such a relief that everything is back the way it used to be. He looked a bit insane about his victory, I thought that he has lost his mind.
