"For fucks sake Dandy!" I yelled at my 13 year old teammate as I aggressively pressed the buttons of my mouse. A normal seventeen year old would be out partying and getting drunk somewhere on a Sunday night. I wasn't normal whatsoever.

I was currently in my room playing world of legends and I would probably continue doing that until I was passed out with a bag of chips all over me and my angry teammates yelling at me because I fell asleep. I had no regrets.

"My name's not dandy!" he groaned frustrated at me. I chuckled, as I said,

"Whatever dandy"

He groaned again as I shivered, pulling down the sleeves of my over-sized blue flannel, but I was too concentrated on my game to get up and close the window.

"Guys! Can you please stop doing whatever you're doing and cover me? For fucks sake." Annie, my other teammate and best friend yelled at us. And the last teammate I'll ever have, I thought, but boy was I wrong.

"I can honestly feel that asshole smirk you have on your face right now." Dandy said and I laughed, as I had indeed a big smirk on my face.

I went to cover up Annie, only to see that Dandy was already there.

"No, no, nonono" I yelled, as a swarm of trolls came towards me, making me lose multiple precious hp I most definitely needed.

"Hey,who's that?" Annie asked suddenly.

"What?" Both me and Dandy asked at the same time as I finished off the last troll that had been attacking me.

"Someone just sent us an invitation." she said. "I don't know him." Dandy said, a tone full of boredom in his voice. He honestly couldn't care less, could he.

I looked up to the name on the invitation and it read; luke_is_a_penguin. I snorted. "Who puts their username as luke is a penguin?"

"Should we accept?" Annie asked us. "Maybe he'll help us, we'll never pass this lane alone." Dandy stated. "Wow, rude." I scoffed, but pressed accept, hoping I don't regret it later.

Soon enough another player had joined in our game as me and my teammates were quite; only the Put Up Or Shut Up ep by All Time Low blasting from my speakers somewhere behind my bed.

"Uh, hi." a male voice said. Oh god. He sounded Australian, just like me. Hey at least we were both aussies? Annie on the other hand, was Canadian and Dandy acted and sounded like a whiteboy from California, thus me calling him dandy; my favourite character from American Horror Story. His actual name was Miles, by the way.

"Hellooo!" Annie chirped as we waited for the next lane,Eyeora to load. "I'm Annie, this is Miles-" "Dandy." I chimed in. "..And this is Michael." Annie sighed.

"Will you ever stop calling me that-" "I'm Luke and I like to party." 'Luke' apparently said, as we all left Dandy to complain alone, as I said "Good. Because this here is going to be a wild one."

We waited silently for the game to load, and I already despised this 'Luke' guy. I mean, games were never quite around here and now he suddenly wants to join our quest and make it awkward? And of course I over looked the fact that I had indeed accepted him into our game.

Well at least he sound like a teenager my age, not some fourty year old dude, I thought

"Hey guys, I um. I have to go my mum is calling me to eat dinner. I uh, I'll see you tomorrow!" Dandy said awkwardly and I wanted to punch him for leaving when things get tough, but that would result to me breaking my computer screen and that was my baby.
