Conventions, Coincidences and Cosplayers

We get electrocuted at a convention

*Marina's POV*

"Fuck you, you bastard!" I screeched as my friend Gina ripped the wig off my head and threw it to someone else.

"I could take up that offer~" My friend Sam called over as they caught the wig.

"Sam, stop that flirting! It's gross!" Casey exclaimed while tossing my poor wig back to Gina.

"Your failure is hilarious!" Gina exclaimed while laughing. I charged toward her, a woman on a mission. She lifted it above her head, letting out another laugh. I jumped up and, to my annoyance, I found I was too short to reach.

"Give me my fucking wig!"

"Only if you tell me how awesome I am!"

"Not on your fucking life!"

…You know what, you guys deserve an explanation.

I live in a house with five other people. We do cosplay videos on YouTube, watch anime, and fail at contributing to society.

My name is Marina. I'm nineteen, 5'7 (about 1.75 meters I think?), and I have a weird curl of hair sticking out the side of my head. I tend to be super rude, I like to swear, and if Gina says anything about me liking her, she's lying.

The one yelling about her being awesome is Gina. She, coincidentally, is an albino and her great grandparents were from Prussia. She tends to be overly obnoxious and loud, but secretly is really nice.

The extremely extravagant one is Sam, one half of a nonbinary duo. They tend to be a flirt and they don't like seeing others get hurt.

The other half of the nonbinary duo is Casey, a sarcastic pessimist who'd rather watch a fight happen instead of stopping it. They also like sweets.

The last two are Amy and Peri, who like to play pranks on the rest of us. Amy is chill and Peri is a little (Read: A lot) obsessed with technology.

We happen to get into fights often, and on this particular day we're going to a convention in our town. Gina and I are cosplaying as Prussia and Romano from Hetalia, Amy and Peri as Amethyst and Peridot from Steven Universe, and Sam and Casey were the camera crew.

Oh good. We're here. I looked around but the others are nowhere in sight. The stupid bastards probably ditched me. Fuck them.

"Gina? Amy? Where the hell are you bastards!" I frantically yell, trying to figure out where the fuck they went. I go back outside to the entrance of the building, noticing the sky turning a dark grayish-black.

When it begins to rain, I realize I'm not gonna find them outside. As I turn back towards the convention center, I feel the sensation of my hair standing up and the air smelling like ozone. I once researched lighting strikes for a school paper, and the sickening realization comes to me a moment too late.

"Fuck." I whisper as a painful sensation ripples through my body, an ear splitting crackling sound along with it. The pain is unbearable. I think of how I'm never going to see those bastards again, as the world around me fades to black.

*Sorry the first chapter was so short! I'm going to get the next chapters up soon! Goodbye for now, my friends!*
