Chapter One
Dark
For as long as I can remember, I have been competing with him… When we were small, we were told that we could never play together and do things together. Why? Our families have always been business rival… Our father, our grandfather, our great grandfather… but seriously, I bet no one can remember what happened that made as enemies… so why must we still remain being like this? That's crazy! I didn't mind this when I was a bean. Ok, I won't call myself a bean. When I was little, we were always competing. Clothes, books, results, buying of limited edition plush toys, queuing for food… The daily necessities we do had all become rooms for competition… I really didn't mind until my opinion changed about him…
That day, he walked over to me and hissed at me "Hey Mousy! I bet I scored more then you. 100/100 for maths… Can you beat that? Loser!"
This time, strangely and mysteriously, his provocations didn't trigger the mime in me… What was I thinking of? He was wearing a real cute ribbon at the tip of his hair. Woah! Why was I noticing that? I guess the famines in him finally caught up with him… He looked at me with that kind of big eyes when he saw me laughing at thin air. "Nutter" he said and he left. Boy… He had this pair of really cute yellow eyes… reminds you of a cute kitty doesn't he? He is definitely the type that scratches and bites when you get near him. Being the suave me that I was, I can always seem to charm girls with a wink. And so, with that born talent of mine, I managed to get the class chairman to organize a class outing. Where? I wasn't sure… Maybe just a meet up at a nearby shopping mall… and so, it was settled.
A good time to know him better. I sure don't want to keep that competition thing between our family for the next few generations… That's incredibly insane. And so, we met up. He turned up much earlier then me. To be precise, I was the last. But never mind! That was because I had to make sure I look so much better then I usually do. We met up in a park, which was a stone throw from the shopping mall so we won't clog up the entrance. After a short walk, we were there. I was amazed to see how shocked he look when he entered. Don't tell me he had never been here before? Doesn't he have any leisure time? That's terribly sad if he doesn't. Shop by shop we went, the amazement in him added. He bought so many cans of soft drinks just to try out the Vending Machine!! Hahahaha! Looks like Mr. Perfect don't know normal things like a vending machine! But guess what? At least I got a drink from him too… that's so rare.
I almost died from laughter when we entered the arcade. He doesn't even know what all the machines are about. So I, being so incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, I decided to teach him.
"Hey Kraddy!"
"Yes Mousy?"
"Watch me closely"
"…"
I slotted the coin into the machine, took up the rifle and shoot at all the enemies happily. Just because he was looking, I had to buck up. I can't usually pass level 3, but this time, I'm going to complete it! I can't look too bad in front of him. And pretty soon, I'm sure he'll be amazed at how fantastic I was, and quit competing with me. I'm just to good to be beaten by him. Very soon, almost the whole class was crowding around me.
"WOAH! Dark! Its not easy to play this game… I've never even pass level 2 before! You're good!"
"Good luck dark!"
"Way to go!"
I can't let all the praises get into my head or I'll get over-confident. Looking at the expression on his face, I'm sure that he is stunned by my great gaming skills. Oh boy, it soon was getting tough… the boss monster of level 3! I can't afford to lose to that! And so, after a lot of stress, I finally conquered him…"Wow! You're… Amaz… nothing"
Why can't he just admit I'm just fantastic in gaming and his not… And he is amazed at me? But his studies are better then mine. Its so obvious! He probably spends half his life on thick bulky books just to win me in exams and all. But I can see that he is pretty lonely, keeping to himself all the time… I'll be the first time to make him smile! And when that time comes, I'll be sure to…
GAME OVER!
Argh! I should just focus on the game!
