I flopped down into bed with a happy sigh of relaxation. The day had been busy, and I needed some time to get my head around what had happened recently. Gita said yes! Gita is the girl who I have had my mind on for a very long time. I tentatively asked her if she would go out with me. She had smacked me across the side of the head, hugged me, and said "Of course I will you idiot!"
Dad had been being a tosser, making up all this shit about 'the fathers must approve' and 'you are too young to make your own decisions'.
I'm sixteen. Quite old enough to make my own decisions… In fact, I'm going to prove it to Dad. I'm moving out.
Well, that was a week ago. I still haven't moved my lazy ass, seeing as I have a new game on my Xbox 360. I've been waiting for ages for this as well.
SKYRIM!
I just had a nerdgasm. I've been playing for almost six hours straight.
No, this is not all I do. I also play sport and do music.
So I've been playing for ages, and I've managed to get my Dark Elf female assassin-type character to level twenty-two. I kinda started to feel a bit sick then. A little nauseous. I stop playing to get something to eat, and after the food has gone down, I feel a little better. I start to feel tired, and decide to go to bed.
"Night, mum. Night, Trent. Night, Gabby." I get a chorus of differing 'good night's and flop into bed.
Mum pops her head in the door to my room.
"Alek, Gita's mum is on the phone. Gita wants to come over tomorrow, is that OK with you?" she asks.
Is that even a legitimate question? Asking me if my girlfriend can come over tomorrow? "Yes mum, it's more than fine."
"Ok, honey."
Her head disappears back 'round the door, and I start settling in to sleep.
I wake up to the two dumbshits screeching. By the way, the dumbshits are our budgies. They don't call people birdbrain as a compliment you know.
I jump up, full of energy, ready for Gita to get here. I rush into the dining room, where Mum, my little brother Trent, and my little sister Gabby, are finishing breakfast.
Mum chirps a little 'good morning' to me as I sit down for a breakfast of pancakes, lovingly made by Trent. They aren't half bad.
Gita's going to be here in half an hour. She's a gamer, like me, so I don't have to worry about setting something up for us to do. I just turn on the Xbox and wait for her to show up.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
I bolt for the door. It's a man. An elderly man.
"Hello. I am a representative for your nearby church, and would love to-"
"Sorry, not interested." I cut in, just to get him to go away. I slam the door before he can say anything else.
I walk back into the lounge to continue the game I had paused.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!
I bolt for the door. Again. It's Gita this time.
"Hey!" she jumps into me with a hug, all flying brown hair and arms.
"Hey, Gita." I reply, with her arms wrapped crushingly around my chest. "I already have the lounge set up for us, with the Xbox."
She smiles at me, "You know me too well. I can't believe it took you that long to figure out I liked you…" She sticks her tongue out at me.
"Well, actually I didn't know you liked me. It was a total guess." I confide.
"Really? You seemed so sure of yourself." She shakes her head. "Let's go. Got drinks?"
"Does a bear shit in the woods?" I taunt.
"Not if it's a polar bear!" she jibes back.
"Oh, I don't know if you heard, but I got Skyrim…"
Her eyes open wide. "What are we waiting for, then? Let's go!
We adjourn to the lounge for drinks, food, and Xbox. She starts her character, lovingly names him after me, and makes him a bash-'em-up character. With a two-handed axe.
I start to feel slightly nauseous again.
"Hey Gita, I think I'm going to throw up." I mention.
"Yeah, I feel slightly nauseous as well." She gives me a grim look. She's beautiful when making a face. I must be the luckiest guy in the world.
My vision starts to waver. I start feeling a bit scared. I see Gita fall off the chair she's sitting in.
"Gita? Do you know what's-" I break off as oblivion descends over me.
