"Tell me something Nairobi Cortes, do you love Luis Mendoza?"
"Mendoza" I repeated, giving some thought and responding "Even the name gives me butterflies"

"Woah woah woah, so you're here to tell me that you shot that awesome shot with your eyes closed?!" Goldberg repeated
I told everyone and Coach Bombay that I didn't see the shot at all. They were surprised since they said it was a good one. Even Luis himself said it was an amazing shot.
"Oh well, it's not so bad right? We still have a bunch of games to go" I continued as I sipped my drink
"Nai is right. This is just the beginning, we need to start working harder if we wanna go to the championship" Connie added
"I agree is Connie, this game was easy, but it'll soon get harder. For now let's just enjoy ourselves. We worked hard enough today" Charlie said
Luis quickly runs up to me and the others, a smile plastered on his face "Hey Nai! They have Marvel vs Capcom!"
"Shut up!" I smiled back "GET READY TO GET BEAT LUIS!"
"I'm confused, what's so important about that game?" Connie asked as she follows us
Luis and I stop on our tracks as he looked back at her "WHAT?!"
"That game is pretty much our childhood! The best of the best, the extreme, the-"
"It's a good game! Hear you loud and clear"
"But I was the better gamer since I won the most" I cleared my throat as Connie laughs
"We'll see about that Nai"
Luis and I cherish this game because it pretty much was our childhood since we were 8. We would go to an arcade downtown of Miami and play there every 2 days right after school. It was like a routine we had until he left. I didn't go as much since it wasn't the same without him.
CONNIE'S POV
"I call Ryu!" Nai smiled
"Bullshit Nai" Luis groans "You know damn well I always play him"
I watched as Nai and Luis share a laugh as they continue picking a character. To be honest, I felt a bit excluded. Sure Nai and Luis have some things alike... or pretty much anything alike if I'm being honest. Anything I ask Luis- like what's his favorite ice cream- he'll go on and say "I remember Nai and I used to eat the heck out of chocolate fudge so that's my favorite flavor til this day!". No matter what, all his stories, Nai would be in the picture.
Oh no don't tell me I'm- I can't be jealous of Nairobi. She's been nothing but supportive and caring to Luis and I. We even thought to have a girls night with Julie for crying out loud! But... it sucks that I don't have any similar interests with Luis.
