Ian comes back a few minutes later, a glass of water and some pills that I don't know the name of in his hands. "Here..." He held them out to me. "Thank you," I reply taking them in hand. Ian had a completely emotionless face. He didn't reply with a "you're welcome," or "no problem." He just kind of, stood there, and sat on the edge of the couch. "Um...Anthony?" "Yeah?" I ask. "So, what do you think you're gonna do now? N-now that you kind of...aren't w-with...Kalel, and stuufff..." Ian stammers. looking down.
Wait, why is he asking about that? Is he asking about my love life? "I...I don't know..." I reply, gazing into Ian's eyes, even if he's not looking into mine. "Y-yeah...understood," Ian stutters.
"So um, wanna play video games?" I question him, trying to take us both away from the awkwardness that was lingering around the room. Ian opens his mouth, but stops. All of him stops. Oh god not again....
"Hey buddy! Great job! Round of applause for you!" Reflection says, from behind. I jump and look behind me. I keep my mouth shut, knowing that he can cause me physical pain. "I forgot to mention something," Reflection tells me. I raise an eyebrow at him. "What's that?" I ask. "You see, I decided to make this more interesting. There may be more obstacles you come across than you normally would, trying to get Ian back. You may run into life-threatening situations...possibly." Reflection laughs and it rings in my ears. I cover my ears trying to block it out, but it keeps coming back. That...that douche bag! He disappears into thin air.
"Are..are you okay?" Ian asks taking one of my hands off of my ear. "Hm? Yeah...yeah...I'm fine," I barely manage to say. My throat is dry and I can hear my heart beating. "You sure? You're really pale like...sickly pale....." "No, no...I'm fine," I tell him. "Anyways...you were saying?" I ask. "I said 'Sure, sounds like fun'," Ian answers.
After setting up the Wii, I grab the controller. "I call player one!" I call childishly. "Not againnn," Ian sighs, grabbing the other controller. I had already put in Mario Kart. Wait...if I'm trying to get us to bond again...why are we playing Mario Kart? This game ruins friendships. Well, gets them mad at each other and so forth. We both click on our characters. I decide to be the classic Mario and Ian chooses, Rosalina? "Dude, why Rosalina?" "Cause Rosalina is fabulous gurl," Ian says in what people like to call his 'girly/gay voice'. I chuckle a little bit. "Suit yourself. Mario is gonna kick Rosalina's ass." "More like kiss it!" Ian replies, obviously determined to win. But we both know that I've always been better at Nintendo games. I click on the Special Cup, which includes the courses: Dry Dry Ruins, Moonview Highway, Bowser's Castle, and last but not least, the most well known one...Rainbow Road. I'm so gonna win this.
"You really had to choose the cup with Rainbow Road?" Ian asks. "Duh, I told you I'm gonna win." "Nuh uh!" "Yah huh!" We both go back and forth until I finally press A on my controller.
So, this is what happened before Rainbow Road.
Dry Dry Ruins:
Ian: 1st
Me: 3rd
Moonview Highway:
Ian: 7th
Me: 5th
Bowser's Castle:
Ian: 2nd
Me: 1st
I guess he's been practicing a lot...or I'm getting rusty. Either way, Rainbow Road is going to determine who's going to win. I'm basically screwed. I guess all I can do is cross my fingers and hope. But, whilst playing all those roads, Ian seemed more like my friend again. We've been laughing, playing around, making sexual jokes as always. I swear, it's as if the fight never happened. But sadly, I can still see it. I can still see the disappointed and hurt feeling in his eyes. He just looks...different. You know what I mean? Hopefully I can do this. "Tik tok tik tok tik tok," Reflection whispers to me, before disappearing instantly. I shake my head and try and focus on the game.
We start playing, both of us with our game faces on. "You're going down bitch," I tell him. "Not a chance, douchenozzle," Ian replies. 3....2....I press 2 to get a head start....1....Start! We both start driving, trying to push each other off of the road. Ian's the first one to fall off. "Dammit!" He yells, waiting for the guy on the cloud to drop him back onto the road.
Two rounds later, and we're basically the farthest away from each other. I'm in first while Ian is in last place. "I got a bullet! Suck it!" Ian yells, using the bullet to get ahead. A few moments later, and he's in 7th place. Shit, he's catching up. I'm too busy looking at Ian's screen that I fall off of the road myself. As soon as I get back, I'm in 8th. "How's that even possible?" I ask while Ian is laughing, passing the finish line. "Shit!" I exclaim. "I won bitch!" Ian exclaims back
The game may ruin friendships, but not this time.
