Terrorisers fist landed in my hand, blocking his hit. He groaned and pulled away, going back into stealth and jumping around our homemade obstacle course. His stat going up and improving, yet not enough because I could still slightly sense him as he hopped around.
I flinched away, his body coming into my view and towards me. I swung my leg under him and knocked him down, "Sorry Brian!" I said, looking down at him. He smiled as he caught his breath, "Its okay." He laid on the ground, looking up at me with a bright smile, "What?" I asked, my cheeks getting warm, my chest heaved from the training. He shook his head, "Nothing." I bit my lip and tried to air out my shirt, "Come on, be a try hard! Neither of us are going to get better just sitting here-" He used his leg to kick mine out from under me, my back hitting against the patted flooring. "Eik!" He put his arms under his head, "Chill out there fire ball, we need a break." I sat up and rubbed my back, "What about our next Hiest?"
He sat up on his elbows, "We are having a meeting about that later today, having Cartoonz just ups our odds. We always could use a good gamer." I nodded, "Yea,"
"So..."
I looked back at him, "Hm?"
"Whats up between you and him?"
I raised my eyebrow, "Luke?"
"Yea,"
Sighing, I scratched my head, "Nothing. Not anymore at least,"
"Why didnt you tell us you dated one of the group?"
I gave him a crooked smile, "I didn't really want you guys to know about me at all. It's kinda part of my real self, I don't give out that stuff."
"Oh, sorry."
I shrugged, "Its okay, i mean, we arent a thing anymore. Its been over for almost a year."
He nodded and I chuckled, "Why? You getting jelly?"
He rolled his eyes, "You wish."
I smiled and sighed, poking his nose, "Oh shush," he laughed and grabbed my hand.
Honestly, the feeling of his hand made me feel odd. It was comforting but I couldn't help but want to let go. The feeling of getting connected to someone again scared me. Suddenly, I didn't feel his hand, it was gone. I looked at our hands and noticed my hand had small blue code errors that glitched. He stared at our hands in shock and I pulled away, "Ah!" I yelped and jumped back, sitting with my legs sprawled. I couldn't help but look at my hand in terror, "What the hell was that Blue?!"
I shook my head and looked at my hand that was completely normal now, "I have no clue!"

He crawled over to me and grabbed my wrist, turning my shaking hand over. Suddenly Nogla walked into the practice room, "Whats wrong?"

We all stood in the living room, everyone watching my hand as it was sprawled out on the coffee table. Evan ooked at it closely, "What are we supposed to be seeing?"
I sighed and flexed my hand, "I honestly dont know but, I am pretty sure I glitched for a second."
Nogla crossed his arms, "Glitched? Couldn't tat kill ya?"
I looked at him with wide eyes, he was right. For all we know, I could glitch into the system and fry my brain. Or get lost in the codes and die of old age.
Lui smacked Noglas arm, "Nogla, lets not talk like that." The rest of the guys glared at him as I slowly fell into my own rabbit hole of thoughts. Nogla walked to me and patted my back, "Hey, sorry. I didnt me ta scare ya."
I shook my head and gave him a fake smile, "Its okay, really..."
Wildcat looked around the room, "Maybe we can do an experiment?"

All of the guys stood around as I sat infront of Panda, who looked at me with worry.
The plan was for him to hit my hand as hard as possible. He had the highest strength stat out of everyone here, he was quite scared of hurting me. He raised his hand up in a fist, he went to bring it down but stopped, "What if i hurt you?"
I sighed, aggitated, "Just do it! If it hurts, I will cry in a corner. Im a big girl, I can take it-" His hand came down onto mine with so much force that the table cracked underneath our hands, my hand almost making the same exact noise, "Fuck!" I stood up quickly, holding my hand to my chest. He got up and grabbed your shoulder, "Oh god! Blue-"
"-no I'm okay." I looked at him with tears peaking the corner of my eyes.
Cartoonz and the others rushed forward, "Lemme see your hand," he said. I bit my lip, trying to contain how much it actually hurt. "No, dont touch it."
He forcefully grabbed my arm and pulled it away from my chest, I pulled away, not wanting them to see how bad it actually was. "Luke-" When I pulled, my arm glitched out of Cartoonz's hand, the blue/green pieces connecting back to my arm and hand.
