I woke up, from a bad dream, as usual. Not going into detail, in case you were going to ask. That was some creepy shit. Slowly, I rose out of bed and swung my feet to the floor. My cat, Sly, meowed faintly from his bundle of blankets in the corner. "Mornin' Sly." I muttered. At least someone would be happy to see me. I shuffled over to the door, tripping over a book. I stooped to pick it up and examined the dusty cover. "How To Get a Girl Out Of Your Head" was the title. I tossed it aside. Never worked anyway. I opened the door and headed to the bathroom. I attempted to comb my unruly mop of long strawberry blonde hair. Failing inevitably, i gave up and went to boot up my laptop.
A message was blinking in the right hand side of the screen, so I opened up Pesterchum and read the message. It was from BreakupMakeup, my internet friend who i was planning on playing a game with later. She was online! I started a conversation. In type, it went something like this. (Keep in mind, pesterchum uses voice recognition, so i couldn’t do anything about stuttering and stuff, which I definitely did.)
Dj: (DesolateJayfeather) Um, hey.
BM: Hi! Are you finally up, you lazy bum? I've been up for hours already!
Dj: Ugh. Morning people. Seriously what time is it even? Like 9:00 or something? Honestly bm, you can’t expect me to be up before like, 8:00.
That's when i realized I didn’t even know her name yet. I've known her for, what, a week? Pathetic.
BM: lol. You are such a night owl. You'd be able to get up at a regular time if you didn’t go to bed at midnight all the time.
Dj: Nonsense! I'm perfectly *Gigantic yawn* awake. Anyway, what did you want to talk about?
BM: We're starting today, right?
Dj: You sure you want to? It's going to be really difficult and dangerous. Also I don't totally trust some of the people you picked for the group.
Yes, we were playing in a group with four or five other people. Just me and bm would have been a dream come true, but no, we had to have a huge group, of mostly girls. Hopefully, that didn't hurt my chances too much.
Bm: No, I totally am going through with this! Now, we've been planning this for too long! We're starting now!
Reckless AND stubborn. Yeah, I was definitely liking this girl.
Dj: All right. I'll get the program started. You want to be server, or me?
Bm: I think you should do it. You're better at, like, strategy and stuff. I'd rather be out there, doing stuff, you know?
Dj: Out there on the battlefield with only me on a laptop to protect you. Yeah, that's a fucking great idea!
BM: Oh, stuff it! I can take care of myself just fine! Remember when we played Smite?
Dj: Don't remind me. BTW, how 'bout we play one more game of that before we begin the life threatening death game?
BM: Ok, fine. I call Hunter!
Dj: Oh, come on!
