Gamer was watching TV at his house one day, when his left leg started throbbing in pain. He sighed as he realized what it must be. Katie was on a date with Alex, and Gamer was glad she was. He rolled up that leg of his jeans and felt the lower half of it with his hand. He winced in pain when he moved his hand down from just below the knee to just above his ankle.
He sighed again, "I knew it. That old scar from middle school is bothering me again. Oh well, nothing I can do about it." Suddenly, there was a flash of light. He looked and grew nervous when he saw Jasmine looking right at him. He quickly dropped the pant leg and stammered, "H-hey J-Jasmine. W-what are y-you d-doing here?"
She replied, "I just stopped by because I was bored. Why were you loking at your leg just now?"
Gamer answered, "What makes you think there was a reason? Maybe I just felt like it."
Jasmine's only response was to walk up to him, lift his leg up, and reveal the scar. Gamer tried to cover up his scar but Jasmine wouldn't let go.
Jasmine asked, "So you've got a scar on your leg. What happened?"
Gamer just turned away and huffed, "It's private."
Jasmine glared at him and said sternly, "Come on. You can tell me. How did you get it?"
Gamer replied angrily, "I said it's PRIVATE!" He tried to keep his anger in check, but he shuddered slightly.
Jasmine said, "Gamer, calm down." She rubbed his quills for a few seconds until he stopped shuddering. Jasmine continued, "Good. Now, I know you don't want to tell me, but we've been dating for over 3 months. How long will it take for you to be open with me?"
Gamer sighed, "I'm sorry. It's just...thinking about how I got the scar brings back memories. Memories that I want to forget, but can't."
Jasmine replied gently, "So, how did you get it?"
Gamer sighed again as he said, "All right. It was back in middle school..." He told her how he got the scar.
(Flashback; 4 years ago)
12-year old Gamer was going to his first class of the day. He took his schedule out of his backpack to check what it was. He sighed when he saw that he had Gym first. He and Gregory had Gym together, and their Gym teacher had said that they'll be playing Soccor today.
He thought, "I just know that Gregory will be wearing extra spikey cleats today." Sure enough, when he got to the Gym, Gregory had on the cleats. Gamer sighed again. This was going to be a long class.
Gregory taunted, "What's the matter Lamer? Scared that my team will win?"
Gamer shot back, "Shut up Gregory!" Gregory was about to respond, when the teacher blew his whistle.
He said, "All right, I'll divide you up into teams. You 4 on that side," he pointed to Gamer and 3 other students. "And you 4 on that side," he pointed to Gregory and 3 others. Then he divided up the remaining students.
After 10 minutes of playing, Gamer had the ball and was in perfect position to score. Suddenly, Gregory ran in front of him and said, "You're not going to score." Before Gamer could respond, Gregory kicked at Gamer's left leg with one of his cleats. He scraped Gamer's leg from below the knee to right above his ankle, causing him to fall to the floor screaming in pain and clutching his wounded leg. Gregory just stood there chuckling evilly.
Suddenly, the teacher ran up to them. He looked at the bleeding Gamer then at Gregory and asked, "What happened?"
Gregory lied, "Lamer just fell to the ground."
Gamer hissed loudly, "No. HE SLASHED MY LEG WITH HIS CLEATS!"
The teacher said to Gregory, "I believe him. You will be suspended for this." He called the nurse over and explained what happened. The nurse nodded and gently picked Gamer up and brought him into her office.
(End flashback)
Gamer finished with, "She told me that it would occasionally cause me some pain for the rest of my life."
Jasmine said, "I feel so sorry for you."
Gamer gave her a smile as he replied, "I'm still here, aren't I? It's not like the slash cut my leg off completely."
Jasmine chuckled as she said, "True. Oh well. Want to go to Twinkle Park?"
Gamer replied, "Sure."
