The AR Gamer Girl «Original story»

Chapter Eighteen

I called off work to say I needed one day off and just couldn't do it. They told me it was fine, since I hadn't taken off any days since I began. They gave me the next day off and the day after that too, saying I could reflect a bit on myself and then come back again. I agreed and took the computer they had sent me. "Hey Jace!" I screamed from my room to his. "What?!" "Give me your name on Lenpato!" "Jace01!" "Okay! I just added you!" "Okay!" Then I realized I sent it on my main account. Well I need to stay at the top ... "WHAT?!" I laughed. Jace rapidly opened my door. "ARE YOU REALLY THE NUMBER ONE?!" I chuckled. "Yup, told you I was good, let's play!" He stood there at me staring, until he understood and walked to his room. We played for a bit and it was great. Jace and I talked about a lot of stuff. He told me he was in the athletic club and that I should visit. I told him I would and said bye. I then called Macy for the remaining time, letting her chat away and have a good time. After calling, I took my augma and put it on. I saw Sy waking up. "Hey little one! Sorry, I won't be active for some time, okay?" She seemed a little sad, but then I got an amazing idea. "Oh I know! When I'm in my room, I'll put my augma on, so we can be together!" She purred and I hugged her.

"Oh wait! I'm out for a second, be back!" It was 21:30, so I had half an hour. I quickly put a black dress on, some shoes and ran out. Before leaving, I told Gina I needed to buy a tea set for school. She understood and said to come home as quickly as possible. It was beyond curfew, but she told me that she was okay with it for today. I thanked her, while taking my bike and left. While riding, I saw that Sy was still with me. I luckily put a black beany on so you couldn't see it, but I still sighed. You know, it's not so bad ... I noticed some monsters spawning, but ignored them and rode on. Finally arriving I put my bike on lock and ran inside the store. I looked as quickly as I could and found the tea sets. I bought a brewer and a nice blue-white set with it. I went over to the counter, but was surprised to see Will. I quickly ran to some random products and waited until I saw him leave. I sighed. That was close ... I went back to the counter, paid for my stuff and left.

"I knew I saw you ..." I froze. "W-Will?!" He chuckled. I backed up a meter away from him. "Ah ... Yeah, sorry about that kiss-thingy ... Don't worry 'bout it. I won't do it to you here." I let out a small sigh of relief. "Okay that was just rude!" He commented. I laughed. "What! Not my fault!" He chuckled. "Well I thought I'd let you know, since you kinda dashed off ..." I smiled, until I saw more monsters spawning in the area. Shoot! I need to get out! I tried to take the augma off without raising suspicion, but I quickly realized I couldn't take it off. What?! A message popped up in the air. 'You cannot leave the augma within the range of these monsters." Shoot .... I started to look around. "Something up?" Will questioned. I sighed. I had no choice, I couldn't do this without him seeing it. It was him or the rest of the population. "Look Will, I need your trust. I've never told anyone before, you can keep secrets, right?" He saw I was dead serious and a little panicked. "Yeah I can, but what's up?" I took a deep breath and took my beany off. The augma had a function, that you could pull a small circle out. It acted as a little augma. You couldn't do anything else than watch though.

I pulled it out and gave it to him. "Listen, this augma is AR, you know what it is. There are monsters all around, put it on the side of your head." He put it on the side and it stuck. "Woah ...!" He saw everything now. "Listen, you can't tell anyone." He understood and I pulled him back into a small dead alleyway. "What're you doing?" I rolled my eyes. "This is actually a big secret. No one should know, so I need to try not to let people notice. They can't see the monsters." I walked over to him and gave him my spare knives. "Use them if you must, though I'm sure Sy and I can protect you." He raised an eyebrow. "Who's Sy?" I smiled. "Sy!" My little forester crept on my shoulder. "Protect Will okay? I'll make sure to take out the big ones that you don't like." I gave her a small kiss on her head and she jumped in front of Will. "Change!" My outfit changed and I got my weapons. "Wow ... How did you do that?!" "Sorry, I can't tell, but I'm still wearing my dress. I'd rather just have you see me in this outfit. But this is it, they're here." I took my weapons ready and ran to the monsters. I was used to fighting them, so I didn't have many problems with it. They came in large numbers, so sometimes one would get through. Sy protected Will, while he stood there staring at us.

Ten minutes passed after I was finally done. I was breathing heavily. Will ran up to me. "Are you okay?" I smiled. "Yup." I went to Sy and hugged her. "I'll give you a reward at home okay? I'm off now ..." I gave her another kiss and took the augma off. I took the small circle back from Will and put it back in its place. He saw me back in my dress and remembered. "Okay ... Explain?" I chuckled. "Yeah, but I need to go. My curfew was twenty minutes ago. I'll tell you tomorrow, come to my club." "Okay." We waved each other bye and I went back home. I need some rest ...
