I WISH I WAS THE NERD: the girl at the back

CHAPTER FOUR:

"sam.."

we are walking home together..dont feel
like taking the bus

"why?''

"before i die please i have a favor.."

we are walking home..i dont feel like riding on a bus right now.. i wanna feel the cold breeze of the evening air.. actually its still not dark yet... just wanna be a little dramatic.. 😅😝

"yah! they will only beat you up. its not like they are gonna kill you. dont be so dramatic now. but ok... i guess there is still a posibility that you will die..anything for you"

hoel!! i can't believe this girl..forget it i'll just drag her to death with me

"never mind the favor... you said anyting for me right..then lets just die together.. when the caught me i will tell them that you are one of my accomplice."

"omo!! are you insane? dont do that to me!! dont be like that."

i walk faster

"yah! xena!!" XENA"

not listening

"xena yah!!"

"arcade!!"

then i stopped

we both love arcades.. before we always go after class, and arive home almost dark... its not very healty for us to be always in there and it cost us a
lot of money and time.. so we made a deal...

the first person or the person who say or wants to play pays it all...then after playing, go and eat in our favorite ramen shop or eat whatever the other wamts to eat but of course the person pays it all still pay it all.

arcade...

"wow it been a longtime since we last went in here..there is so many new game in here." i feel so nostalgic.. i remeber making our deal because our grades slowly dropping..now we are here again i feel like crying. and most of all it s free..play all i want!!! i will surely make a hole in her pocket!!

"i guess its been a year..i miss it so much.. cause the two of us dont even dares to say the word 'arcade' affraid of spending so much money for the games and food.. and right now i feel like im about to get robbed."

i smile..i slowly hug her to get her wallet..

"yah!"

"you are richer then me.. you sure have a lot of money." i open her wallet...and i saw a lot

"sam its really dangerous to bring a lot of money in school.. mostly when youre with me"

i got 200 peso bill from her wallet.. and put her wallet in my poket

"youre not planing on returning that to me?" her face is so sour its funny.. i went to the counter and exchange the 200 peso into token...when i got the 40 peices of token i turn around and she's gone..

this arcade is a little big than the ordinary arcade out there and its a bit crowded and full of playing machines so its a bit hard to find her...

i walk around finding her..there is a one spot that is too crowded..and that distract me from finding sam..i went there to know what it is about...

ohh..its just a fighting game..like street fighter..but the one they are playing is tekken 6...its my first time seeing that version 6 of tekken..so there is 6 now

"xena!"
i didnt notice her at all.. since when she's been on my side??

"where have you been??"

"ah i just take a look what are they playing here cause there is so many people. you were good at this right. why not try it?that guy from the other side never loses since i got in here..and i notice that they are betting money thats why its too crowded."

"wait isn't that illegal?"

"i dont know...the store manager seems to know it but doesnt care..and they are not betting loudly..they are just using hand signal..like one finger for one hundred and so on.."

"really? sound interesting. should i try it?"

"well its up to you.."

"ok i'll give a try... i will lose nothing any way.."
i sound so proud with a smile

"aishh so concieted..are you that confident that youre gonna win??"

"no.. i just said i wont lose anything." then i get her wallet from my poket and let her have a good look.

"yah!! xena!!"

i smile and kiss her wallet.

but before i play i watch first how my enemy playing..and he is really good at playing i can see that hes not just randomly pushing the botton..

i look at his face..and it really pisses me of... he reminds me of my current problem..why??!! of all people its a ugly looking nerd!! my blood started to boil.

(mesay: i'm sorry she really got a temper i feel sorry for the guy tough..)

thingking that that nerd will point me as the culprit, its making me so angry.

i'll make sure that this nerd infront of me will have no money left in him... and look at that smile his making while he is winning it so fucking creepy so annoying!!!

....

its my turn now...

i sit..i see that the audience is quite disapointed..i know they are thinking that i wont win this..

but i have to win..im playing like my life is on the line..

as a challenger i have to make the first bet..and see if he will accept..

i raise my hand at five...the crowd become noisy..and i flip it again with another five.. now the crowd is too loud..

sam pinch my cheeks hard...
"a..aa..aa..aw"
"are you crazy?!! huh??!! who's money do you think your betting!!??"

i smile at her hold her face and kiss her fore head..

"xena!! youre imposible youre crazy your insane!!".."you..!!!! dont let that nerd get my money that easy! ok!!"

i nodded.. she's so funny.. she's about to cry..
i warmed up my hands by closing and opening it....

now the game will start...
