Sailing in Endearment

Chapter 3

"GET THE HELL UP IT'S GAMING CONVENTION  TIME WE'RE MEETING HOT GAMERS AND HAVE VIP PASSES THANKS TO THE MYSTERY MAN SO GET UP!" Emelee jolted me awake.

I rubbed my head. "Emelee calm down." I told her. Emelee was only two years younger than me, and she was barely two when my mom had died.

"Well get up and I won't do it again." She simply stated.

We got ready to go, with Emelee in all her gaming merchandise. She bought me a "CaptainSparklez" shirt because she thought it was funny for me to wear it since I was a captain myself. To be honest I have no idea who CaptainSparklez is.

I got a text from Jordan, and it told me the location we were meeting at. I was actually excited to see him again.

I pulled into the parking lot and saw Jordan waiting for me. Then Emelee screamed bloody murder.

"OH MY GOD IT'S JORDAN MARON!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

"EMELEE YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK DON'T EVEN DO THAT AGAIN!" I yelled back at her. She tried to calm down but she was still breathing heavily. I don't know why she was so excited about meeting Jordan either.

When I got out of my old beat-up ford car Jordan smiled at me.

"Hi Jordan!" I exclaimed. He looked down at my shirt.

"So you're a fan, huh?" He laughed.

I glanced down at my shirt. It was grey with a red and yellow logo on it shaped as a C and an S.

"Of CaptainSparklez? No, I barely know who she is. My sister likes her though." I replied.

At this point Jordan burst out laughing and Emelee face-palmed.

"OH MY GOD JESSE THIS IS CAPTAINSPARKLEZ. THE GUY IN FRONT OF YOU IS CAPTAINSPARKLEZ AND YOU CALLED HIM A FEMALE!" Emelee wailed.

Jordan was almost in tears from laughing so hard.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry I didn't realize..." I started.

"No it's fine it's not the first time someone thought I was a female!" He laughed.

"You are such an idiot, Jesse!" Emelee scowled.

"No, it's really fine." Jordan replied, he had finally contained himself.

We walked into the convention only to be mobbed by people.

"Um, Jordan, why exactly are you so popular here?" I asked as we were escorted by security because of the people crowding us.

"Well, I make some YouTube videos under the name 'CaptainSparklez' and I have seven-million subscribers. I had no clue I was going to be mobbed here, though. I'm sorry you had to deal with that." He said.

"Nah, it's fine. It's kinda cool I've never been escorted by security before for being with a popular person!" I exclaimed.

"The first time is fun, but any more than that it gets tiring." He sighed.

We were hiding in a back room of the location the convention was being held at while Emelee was walking around the convention on her own.

"Lets play a game!" I exclaimed.

"What type of game?" Jordan replied.

"I'll ask a question, then you have to answer and ask me another question. Then once I answer that question, I'll ask you another question as well. We don't have to answer the question, but you have to ask the other person a question in response. I got this from my favourite book, "It's Kind of a Funny Story". Do you understand?"
