****** AFTER SCHOOL*****

“Yes! I win!” Jeremy cheers after his character stabs mine, killing it. 

I stare at the television in shock and silently start planning when I would do to him what he has just done to my avatar.

“I will get you back” I mutter “how about Friday?”

“Like a rematch? I don’t know… I kind of like being the Videogame Champ, I don’t want to lose my title after only 2 days!” he laughed at my frowning face “I’m just messing with you! Frida sounds good, I’ll see you tomorrow Charlie.”

After Jeremy left, I took a seat at the desk in my room. Usually i would let my parents organise everything and clean up the mess afterwards, but this time will be different. This time, I will do everything on my own. I hear the door open and close, my parents are home. 

“Charlie?” my mother calls out “How’d your game go after school?”

“Great! I won,” I lied. 

“That’s great son,” they said at the same time, with fake enthusiasm of course. They wanted me to lose, they wanted to kill. However Jeremy was my target, only mine.
