My love must have always thought I was lazy and wasteful. I had great grades and used to be very popular. But I guess she married the wrong guy. My parents divorced so I used video games as an from the real world. I always thought, why exist in the real world with sadness and anger surrounding you and trying to crack your soul when you can live in the virtual reality where everything can be exactly how you want it to be? I lost all my friends because I would always win matches and always be appy for myself, even when I knew I would win. So I was invited to a gaming match, and of course won. I then went to regionals, next state, then national. I even won that! During the international, I got too excited and started to drift off, somehow coming in last place and gettig mad. I stormed away and became known as "Mad Micheal".I lost it all. Money, fame, likability, and the only person that ever stayed by my side was Kelly. A blonde angel who sang while she cleaned and cared for her family dearly. Now it is our turn to care for her. "Papa?"Maddie said. She was also as sweet as her mother. "Yes?" I replied." I qualified for the Olympic trials." I was shocked. It was fame or love. Heartbreak or loss. I had nothing to do no one to care for me. I couldn't take it all. I ran to the car to cry. Memories flooded into my mind of my angry exit off the International Gaming center's stage. "You can't start early without ready-ing the battlers!" I remember screaming. I screamed and started to sprint. Nurses and doctors raced after me but I just shoved them out of the way and raced away in my old, yellow Chevy.
