The AR Gamer Girl «Original story»

Chapter Five

I woke up and looked around. No school today huh? I sighed relieved and stretched my arms. I went to my desk and started up my computer. I logged in and smiled. Lenpato... I put my headset on and dialed in the code from school to play with everyone from there. "I'm still first..." I didn't care much about where I was, but I did know I needed to keep being the first if I wanted the deal in Japan. I spend hours and hours not looking away from the screen, until I heard my stomach growl. I glanced at the time. "12:48?! I've been playing from like 8!" I set my character safe and logged off quickly. Since no one was home, I had to make food myself, so I didn't notice how long I was in my room. I took a few slices of bread and an apple. When I was done, I walked up again and grabbed a bottle of water on the way. I jumped back in my comfortable chair and played more Lenpato.

Time passed and while I was looking for some weapons in game, I saw a message pop up. "What's this?" I opened the mail and saw it was from the VR-incorporation. You can come to Japan from August. Onwards when school starts in September, you'll be here. That was the mail in short, because there were just a lot of little details about how to go there too.

After a while, I heard someone come home. "Hello?" I half-screamed from upstairs. "Oh hello sweety!" Oh it's mom. I smiled and walked downstairs. "Hey mom, what's up?" She shined brightly. "Just about to make dinner! But more importantly... What're you going to do now?" Her words rolled over softly and I could see her looking at me from the corner of her eye. She wasn't someone to talk about serious stuff, but once in a while, she would surprise you and give you hints about what you should be doing in life. She chuckled and switched back to her cheery personality. "Well, you have some time left. So! I was wondering if we could maybe go somewhere, just the two of us? Like a girls day!" She screamed excited. I laughed. "Sure mom, I'd love to." "Mhhmhh." She gave me a kiss on my head and I went back upstairs.

* ting * * ting * huh? I rushed to my computer and saw three missed calls and quickly answered. "I'm so sorry Macy!" "Girl. Where. Were you?!" I've been trying to call you for so long! What were you doing then? You're always at your computer!" I chuckled. "Yeah ... That's true ... I was talking with my mom downstairs for a second." She stared at me. "Oh. Makes sense. Well! What about playing a bit on Lenpato?" I raised my eyebrow. "Ehem, don't you have your final project to do?" "Ack!" "Uhu! Thought so. "Now get on with it, see you!" "Wai-!" * click * hmm ... Was that too mean? Nah, she wouldn't go and work otherwise anyway ... Let's just play a bit before dinner.
