Something Else

Territory

I didn't want this moment to end. Yeah. Cheesy heck of a thing to say but I honestly didn't....Keith made me feel wanted on many ways and I can't get enough of it. Looking up at him I smile and squeeze his hand.
His hair was slicked with sweat as he battled the dreaded colorful ghost dancing on the screen, occasionally groaning in frustration or having a victory "Yes!".

I let go of his hand to start walking around when I saw my favorite game.

Galactic Heros.

Lame name yeah I know but the graphics and the plot of the game is awesome. I was just about to insert a coin when the doors to the arcade were slammed open and screeching teens came stomping in.

Watching from the side of the machine I see a blonde tall girl saunter in. She looked around in complete boredom then sighed dramatically before hitting some guys head. He yelled out then turned to see it was her and smiled nervously.

"S-sorry Nyma. D-didn't know it was you"he shakily said.
"Whatever Manny..anyways. Where's that stupid game you talked about. You make it sound so amazing so where's it at."she smacked her gum loudly and flipped her hair while looking around.She turned to my direction and I slammed back against the game. Holy crap did she see me? Maybe I should go back with Keith right now.

Just as I pick up my helmet I hear footsteps shuffling towards me.

"It's right here Nyma. It's the best space game around."he replied proudly.

"Uh huh yeah. Sure."she said in a bored tone.

Geez what crawled up her butt.
"Hey! You. What are you doing here? You know who this area belongs to Four Eyes?"The one named Nyma yelled out.

Oh god come on. Wait a minute.... Nyma...she's..."Lance's girlfriend..."I say aloud.

She raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms."And how the hell do you know that kid huh? You been spying on me or what?"she said.

"Ah no actually. But never mind that what are you doing here?"I said boldly.

"I'm just here with friends..playing a video game...that ain't against the law is it?"she asked.
I shook my head. Obviously not. I looked around for Keith but failed to find him.

I sighed tiredly and crossed my arms. "Well look. I'm not gonna do anything alright. All I was doing was attempting to play this game. Til you showed up and demanded me the reason for my being here...."
I turned around around with my helmet when I felt a a hand grip my shoulder.
"You don't know who you're talking to you brat. Seriously. You don't...so you better back down and slow the attitude. Cuz bad crap will start happening to you and everyone you know. Ya got it?"she angrily whispered then added in a low tone"and do not tell Lance I was here. I have no idea how you know him..but you do not speak of this moment as of right now."and with that she released my shoulder and shoved me.

This girl..how is she dating such a sweet guy Lance!??
Frickin prick kind of a human. But no one talks to me like that. Ever since Matt left us...I've always kept my guard up and I've always fought back. But this is Lance's girlfriend. If I do go after her. She'll hurt him. And if I don't. She has complete control of me...
I looked up slowly and turned around then smiled a fake smile. She glared down at me and I socked her straight in the nose. It was like a hose was just turned on because blood spewed straight at my face. Shaking my hand off I grab my helmet and saunter off to find Keith.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Ok so Nyma...told you to not tell Lance about any of this?? Why would she say that? I don't understand..."Keith asked confused. Sighing, I get up and get a cup of coffee then sit across from him again.
"I really have no idea. I mean. What would she have to hide from him? That she plays video games? Yeah no I don't think so..."I blew on my mug then took a cautious sip.
Keith was fidgeting with a bracelet on his wrist when he said lowly"she's cheating on him."

I pause from drinking my coffee and push up my glasses. That's actually a pretty reasonable explanation. The man who was with her was pretty touchy yet it still looked like she was in control.
"There was a guy that was connected to her hip. And he did whatever she said to do. And he was pretty touchy touchy with her. Think his name was Manny."I replied.
He nodded and stayed quiet as I saw the shadow of sadness cross his face.

"Hon..you still care about Lance don't you."
