Welcome to the GAME!

Chapter 2

September 12, 2017.

Yup, that's the day! The day I got my first power. Although it was not as good as you think. It began with an ordinary day. I woke up at my usual time, had breakfast. Since it was the weekend, I had the whole day to myself. I invited my friend to my house to play on the game console.

Now, let me introduce myself.

My name is Daniel Smith, my friends call me Danny for short. I am a very attentive person. I'm always aware of my surroundings, sneaking up on me might be hard even for a cat. I am fairly handsome, not too good looking. I don't brag about my looks, nor do I like anyone who likes outer appearance rather than inner beauty. I am very selective about my relationship, up until now, I have declined numerous offers from girls. I hate faking love.

But that's enough about me. Let's get back to my story.

So yeah, as I said I invited my friend to my home. I was plugging up the cords to the television, just as the doorbell rang.

"Lou, can you open the door?" I called out,

"Okay!" I heard from the other room.

I just finished up connecting the last cord as my friend came into the living room.

"Hey Danny!"

"Hey! Sit down, I'll be back in a bit."

"Alright."

I went out in the kitchen to get some snacks. The passage from the living room to the kitchen wasn't too wide. Enough for two people to stand side by side. As I reached in the kitchen, I took a look around to find something.

The counter was mostly equipped with kitchen tools or appliances. I went to the first cupboard, it was nothing of my use. Moving to the next, I found a cookie box, potentially useless, but my Friend loves them. I picked them. I searched the refrigerator, and found some pizza slices left from yesterday. I took them and heated them in the microwave. Meanwhile I set the cookies on a dish and placed it on a tray. After taking g pizza slices, I took all of it back to the living room.

When I reached there I saw him looking at the game discs. He smiled when he saw the amount of cookies on the plate. I wonder if he has an obsession with them.

"Thanks a lot dude!"

"Don't mention it!"

This is Mathew, or Matt for me, he is the biggest stupid you'll ever find on earth, actually not, he's pretty intelligent but I like to call him idiot. He has a weird obsession with cookies, at least that's what I've noticed. He is a bit shy and timid. So he doesn't show off much. He is oblivious to almost everything that is happening around, I wonder how he survives. Also he sleeps with a teddy bear tugged in his arms. Don't tell anyone, he gets angry.

"What do you wanna play?" I asked as I sat beside him. Taking a slice for myself. He held a cookie in his right hand and looked through the discs.

"Well, there are so many I can't really choose.... How about Real Racing?"

"That's fine with me."

I said as I opened the case and put the disc in the game console. We played the game for the next few hours. We had a great time. After 2 or 3 more games, we were down to a co-op shooting game.

It was a critical situation, I was inside the enemy base and Mathew was just behind me. The room was surrounded by enemy soldiers. We were low on ammo and we had to kill all of them to move ahead.

"Danny? Can you please come here for a sec?"

I heard my mom call for me. This was the worst timing.
