Merry late Christmas!
I was going to update on Christmas but I was super busy, what with seeing family and all.
Cody's POV
"Thirteen seriously has every game in the world, and of all those games you could pick to play...you pick Mario Kart?"
"What the hell is wrong with Mario Kart?" Devin fires back at Jason, never taking his eyes off the screen.
He's leaning back and forth on the couch as if he's actually the one making the character turn rather than the controller in his hands.
"Nothing...except for the fact that she has every other video game and you came up with Mario Kart," Jason mutters. "It shows your maturity level."
"Excuse me? You are never too old to play Mario Kart."
"You're playing Mario Kart?" I turn my head to see Ryder standing in the doorway, a box in his hands.
"Jason's already established how childish he is," I speak up and to my surprise Ryder drops the box on the table next to me and runs over to Devin, hopping over the back of the couch and taking a seat.
"Switch it to two players!" He shouts, grabbing one of the extra controllers and powering it on.
Devin complies. "Race, or Battle?" He asks Ryder, who's now grinning like the idiot he is.
"Race!"
I glance over at the box next to me. "Hey, what is this?"
Ryder looks over his shoulder at me and then the box, his expression changes for a split second before he quickly covers it up.
"Oh yeah..." He trails off as if recalling something. "Thirteen wanted us to go through that. Try to dig up something on Garrett."
"And the video game was obviously more important." I retort with as much sarcasm as possible.
He scoffs. "Obviously." He mutters something else under his breath that I don't catch.
"What was that?"
He lets out a sigh and loud protests from Devin sound off as he pauses the game.
"I said you fu-"
"Please control your tongue Mr. Stevenson." Henri cuts him off as he enters the room. "There is no cursing allowed in this house."
"I was going to say fudge cake."
I glare at him and he smiles darkly back at me, crossing his arms over his chest. Devin tries to steal his controller to resume the game.
"Um Hi." I turn towards Elaine who's also now entered the room. "I was wondering where the bathroom was?" She questions quietly.
"You've been here for how many days now and you don't know where the bathroom is?" Jason scowls. She flinches as if he struck her.
"Jason come on, lay off her," I say and he snaps his gaze over to me.
"What is your problem?" He growls at me.
"My problem?" I glare back at him.
"Yeah. So Thirteen up and ditched us, get over it! Making friends with that thing," He waves his hands in Elaine's direction. "Isn't going to do anything but piss off Thirteen and you know it!" He shouts at me, putting his hands on my shoulders and shoving me back a few steps. "I'm the only one who has a right to pissed off at her, but either way she did for our own good!"
