The Electronic Trap

Chapter 1

Dear Diary ,
December 14 3:22pm
It was the morning of my 15th birthday when I woke up due to the loud noises from the kitchen , I assumed it was a Birthday Cake preparation festival but I guess I was wrong .
I got down to the kitchen in our new house and saw mom excitedly unpacking alot of boxes, I was surprised , it wasn't that long since she got her new job and promotion but she still went out and spent all her money.
I asked about the boxes and she excitedly answered " Oh Chika! I was unpacking the gifts for your birthday!!" , I sighed and walked away .

And Yes! I know you're wondering why my name is Chika and why would my mom unpack MY gifts......But I swear I don't know either ! And I'm that person who won't even bother asking.
It's not because I don't care , it's just that I'm too lazy to listen and I don't want to bother others to , you know, Talk.

There were nine boxes, quite enough for each of my family members to own one, but somehow they were all for me, I won't deny it , Happiness was exploding in me but I'm not good at expressing it and I was as well worried about my parents' wallets too! I mean , they have seven children , why do they need to give me all these , they know all I want is a new Mouse which I'm very sure none of them brought it , and the money my working parents collect is barely making my older siblings study in college , but still we bought a villa , and look at all this gifts they got for the middle child !
I took a chocolate from the fridge and left the kitchen , I went upstairs to annoy my 17 years old brother, Samer , who was working on his weird art works in his room , he loves putting inconsistent pieces together to create weird shapes that are not harmonic at all ! Picasso is what I would like to call him , but I like Picasso 's art where where I don't like samer's junk to be honest , but I try to encourage him since he has interest in this kind of art .
But as soon as I approached his work , he screamed " NOO!!" So loud I could have gotten deaf so ofcourse I backed away and calmed him , I mean I get him , his artworks are very vulnerable which will excuse his voice.
He started explaining his artwork to me and how this year he will be winning the championship of Artosina community , which he had joined for 6 years straight and lost badly! I felt bad for him, so I told him not to add another color to the 'Squirrel' , as he named it , or it Will turn into a unicorn donkey but he told me he knew better !
I nodded , I didn't care much so I left his room for a 'me' time on the computer, and let me tell you , If I could marry anyone , It would totally be my Lovely Computer, IT'S ADDICTION!

I guess you could call me an anti-social person who is stuck with a glue on the Computer chair , but I am proud to be!
I have accomplished enough to say I'm proud of being who I am , I've create websites for people and earned from it money that ranges from 15$ to 100$ , and I have created my own game, even if it's lame but it is for killing time atleast! Aren't all games made for this purpose?
I was good at hacking too, and I have hacked alot of celebrities and posted in their accounts my website's link so I could get more website Orders...
One thing I also enjoyed spending immense time on the internet , is that using a game I created, I was able to control other devices ,Like: my alarm , people's phones, edit some Famous Tweets and even change the TV channels ... just by ordering the device to do what I saw through the game, it's very fun being a programmer ...you just own the world ...technically !!

As I was ready to start the creation of " Gymnastics for you! " website which was ordered by a Gymnastics Coach , My mom called me to come down for a surprise .
I obviously had known that there are gifts downstairs and that there is a birthday celebration but I prepared myself to fake my yearly 'Surprise Face' .
Downstairs I saw balloons written all over them "Chika" and ribbons all over the place, it seriously was a festival...that was prepared really fast !
My Dad approached me and said " Honey, your main birthday gift from me is ...." and then he pointed at the door of the living room and we all looked eagerly waiting for the surprise to magically open the door!
We waited for a full minute and my dad's hands were still up in the air pointing at the door until finally the door opened and My eldest Brother Layth came out and said " Surprise!!" With a huge Smile .
I was utterly surprised , I haven't seen him in 3 years , he was supposed to be here after 4 months and not now! so I hugged him hard ,because I was still in Surprise mode !! then we all went to the dining table to eat the cake and other sweets , but Samer told us to wait first till he call the rest and screamed from the bottom of his heart " Lindaa, Saraah, Adam, Layaaan ! Food is readyyyy!!" My dad was annoyed from his voice that he gave him his daily "lower your voice" lecture and he totally deserves it!
And I'm sure he needs therapy as well.

As you can see , All of my family have normal names , but My luck couldn't get worse than having a weird ugly name and being the middle child of this odd family.
The family gathered up and we had a blast eating and talking and then it was gifts time so my mom happily gave me a small pink box with a yellow ribbon and winked at me.
I rushedly teared it down and looked inside the box.....it was a video game called "V.I.P. ONLY", I sighed and looked at MY mom who didn't understand till now that I don't spend my time on the Computer playing games, Instead I'm working for a better future for me!! And ofcourse because it's a hobby.
I thanked her for the gift and then the others gathered to give me their gifts as well.
We sat together on the table again and they watched me open a gift after a gift , which is really embarrassing and tough for me because I have to express Joy and astonishment which is difficult for me.
The gifts were cute and I appreciated them as always , I may seem cold to you dear reader but I'm very warm and nice, I'm just not good at expressing it ... anyways, the gifts were a box of Godiva Chocolates from Linda, a Funky, handmade, Weird artwork from Samer , A Japan Souvenir from Layth , Edgy Sunglasses from Layan , a New Bag from Dad and Adam, and a sloppy crayon-written letter from Sarah!
We stayed about 2 hours talking and enjoying our time , specially that Layth just came and we are excited to see Pictures from Osaka , the city in Japan he is currently studying in.

After we all were done with eating and talking I hugged them all and thanked them for their Gifts and went up to place them in my room while they continue eating .
I placed each gift in it's place but I didn't know where to put the video game , I didn't have a place for it!
So I told myself " I will try playing it and If it's worth it I'll keep it and if not I'll give it to my nerdy cousin to play with it" .
I inserted the CD and waited it to launch, the game didn't have a play button, it actually didn't have any buttons!! It was just a black screen !
I waited for 5 minutes and gave up, it's just a fake game , mom got tricked easily!!
As I was removing the CD from the Computer , the screen turned grey and I shivered, I returned the CD back and walked back two ateps, and then white stripes appeared and I heard voices that sounded like " keshh kessh ...." .
I was scared to death, was that a paranormal activity? Or have I been hacked by a professional hacker? Ideas were flooding in my head as I continued walking backward trying to escape my seemingly haunted room but suddenly the computer screen talked and that almost fainted me.
