Guardian of the Proxy (Ben Drowned story)

Chapter 30

"Please forgive me!" insisted Ben, for the 15th time, I think. I let out a sigh and gazed at him. "Fine," I started, "but promise me you won't try drugging yourself. Ever."

"Well, I ain't gonna lie. It is gonna be hard leaving that addiction," he started but I began to glare at him. "B-but yeah I promise I won't do drugs again," he nervously finished. I looked at him slightly in relief. A small grin plastered on his face. "Wanna play video games?"

"I don't know. I don't play video games anymore," I responded. He glanced at me with puppy eyes. "Please, just once,"

I smiled at him. "Alright,"

I didn't know how to play the game 'Super Smash Bros Brawl' but Ben explained me how to attack and such. He could be a good explainer but that doesn't mean I'm a good listener. And vise verse, I could be a good listener but that doesn't mean he's a good explainer.

I started to hyperventilate. "BUT I JUMPED. HOW'D I FALL?"
The game announced the winner. Which was of course, Ben. This had been the 60th time he beat me in the game. Literally. How many times did I beat him? Cero.

Ben laughed uncontrollably. "You can also double jump, ya know?"

I sighed through my nose as I picked Peach. And Ben picked a character I hate a lot; Ivysaur. It freakin' poisoned me! A lot! I gazed back at him, which had a smirk playing on his lips. Which meant one thing; he didn't pick Ivysore because he wanted to, but he did it just to tease me. He knew I hated that character. "You've gotta be kidding me," I muttered under my breath. Ben let out a chuckle as I looked back to the TV.

"GAME."

"Oh, come on! I haven't won!" I whimpered. "That's right," Ben began, "because I always win. And also because you've been using only one character throughout the whole gameplay. You gotta explore!"

"But Peach is the only character I actually like," I pouted.

"So plastic," Ben winked at me. I felt how my cheeks began to grow hot. "I-I'm not!"

Knock knock knock.

Someone was knocking the door. Ben invited the other person to come in. The door swung open, and Slenderman walked in. "Sorry to interrupt but I have some news,"

I cocked an eyebrow as me and Ben tilted our heads to a side. "Mrs. Davis, Jeffrey offered to help you as the final session of your training.......tomorrow."

My mouth was wide open. "So, wait, I have the final session...tomorrow?!"

Slender nodded his head. "I apologize for the short notice at last minute,"

"I-it's alright..." I nervously replied.

Oh, God.

Tomorrow?

I'm so not ready.

And with that, Slender teleported away, leaving Ben and I dumbfounded. Then, I felt someone patting my shoulder. I turned around to see Ben. "Did Skyleigh have to do this?" I questioned. He nodded his head slightly, pursing his lips. "How'd she do?"

"Let's just say she beat Jeff into a pulp,"  he replied.

My eyes widened slightly. "Are you being serious?"
