A young woman stands in her bedroom. It just so happens that tomorrow, the sixteenth of June, is not this young girl's birthday. Instead, it is one of her new friend's birthday and the finally official release date for the game the girl has been waiting months for. What is the name of this young girl?
Idiotic Heartfarter
A sour look unknowingly crosses over the young girl's face.
Skye Griffin
Your name is Skye Griffin and as was previously mentioned tomorrow is one of your new friend's birthday. It is also coincidentally the long awaited release date for a game you've had your heart set on for months. Currently, you're sitting at your computer trying your hardest to think of something to write or play, but your mind is preoccupied thinking about the game. More specifically, who you're going to play it with. You sigh and spin in your chair, allowing you to get a good look at your room.
Nothing pops out at you in particular. CLOTHES lay scattered about the floor, your bed messy, and curtains drawn. The fan quietly turns sending wind down that ruffles some papers on both your DESK and BULLETIN BOARD. You can see your closet, holding all of your INSTRUMENTS safe and secure. You sigh again and turn back to your desk, looking at some of the objects that sit there. Several PAPERS sit in somewhat neat piles full of forgotten STORIES and DOODLES and attempts at SONG MELODIES. Several small nick nacks were cluttered by the back, and your small MICROPHONE sat proudly to the right of your computer. God, do you love your MICROPHONE. You have spent many days randomly toying with it. One day you could be making a song cover, the next day you could be dubbing a comic, the next you could be trying out some cool rhythm you had stuck in your head the entire day, or, if you ever finished WRITING something you actually like, you could be making a small audio clip from one of your ORIGINAL WORKS! But let's face it, you know you'll never write anything good.
Once again, you huff out in annoyance. This day would just not end! You roll your eyes and decide to check if any of your new friends are online. All of you have downloaded the somewhat glitchy app called pesterchum. Your chumhandle is invokingXiathum and you write in a way that most old people think teens write like !but! somtimes you like to add /emphasis/ if the time is right.
In only a few seconds you have the new window open. Wow. Big surprise. No one's on. You guess that makes sense, time zones can be ridiculous sometimes, but that shouldn't be a problem right now, seeing as it should be late enough in the day for at least one the others to be awake. For a second you toy with the idea of them leaving you out. It makes sense, you think, you were only introduced a few weeks ago and they might not fully know how exactly to fit you in. You sigh and turn your computer off. You stand up, lifting up your headphones from around your neck to cover your ears. You pick up your phone, send a quick happy birthday message to your friend, plug your headphones in, and lay down on your bed. You decide to play a random song and fall asleep listening to the soft guitar strums.
You are rudely woken up by your phone vibrating next to your hand. You groan and look at it. Ah, it looks like one of your friends is up! More importantly, they messaged you first!

kF: Hey! You up yet?
iX: yeah im up

kF:Hm

kF: Oh nothing, nothing.
kF: Oh! Did you hear about the pre-release for the game?
iX: ?!no!?
iX: does that mean its coming out, like a day eirlier?
kF: *Earlier
iX: shhhh
kF: And yes, some people who preordered the game will get it today as a kind of 'thank you' for pre-ordering it, I guess.
iX: thats so cool?
iX: !that means there might be a chance for us to get it!
kF: Mhhm, I havent been outside to check my mailbox yet.
kF: But, Ive heard from hD that oS got one.
kF: But maybe you should check yours?
iX: ofc i will! brb
kF: ahaha. I gotta go too, good luck!

With a smile on your face, you bolt out of your bedroom door and down the stairs. You almost check yourself on the kitchen counter in your haste to get outside. You run out and wave at one of your neighbors. You slow down and catch your breath as you open your mailbox. You smile. It's looking like it's going to be a good day.
As you pull the pure white box from out of the small metal box, you feel a shiver down your spine. Your mind is suddenly clouded with doubt just as the sky starts to fill with dark heavy clouds. You've heard many stories about how much easier the game would be with an even amount of players. It would just be easier for them to play it without you. A cold wind tickles you back and you shiver. They were probably planning on doing that! You shake your head and open your front door, turning back to look at the world around you. You take a gulp of air in, not realizing you haven't been breathing correctly. You roll your eyes. They won't leave you out and they weren't planning to start without you. Rain starts to trickle down. It's just you being stupid and overthinking. Everything will be fine.
