"...Jenny Matrix." Calhoun said. 'Matrix, huh?' I thought. Ki chimed in "Sir, with all do respect, but where is Jenny Matrix?" "Out in the courtyard I suspect, now get lost, I have a school to run." Calhoun said. Ki and I walked out of Calhoun's office and started towards the courtyard. "Well that was intresting, dont you think?" Ki asked. I gave her a stern but confident look. "Yeah, but you are going to meet some intresting characters here." I said. Ki stopped and studdied me for a second. "What are you planning?" She asked looking puzzled. "You'll see, but first we have to find Jenny." I said with a grin. She nodded. We walked around for a maybe a solid five minutes before we noticed a huge crowd gathered outside. "There she is." I said. "How do you know" Ki asked. "Gut feeling" I responded. Ki cocked her head. I waved her to carry on. As we grew closer to the crowd we heard "Chug, Chug, Chug" and as we pushed through the crowd we were meeted by a table with two computers on it, and at the computers, two students chugging monsters. One girl, and one guy. The girl finished first and quickly put together her gamepad and mouse then bam, shot the other character on the screen. 'heh, classic' I thought. "You must be Jenny Matrix?" Ki asked. "And you must be my next victim" Jenny replied. Ki started to look frightened. 'Better step in' I thought "No, actually you are our welcome buddy" Ki said before I could speak.
Everyone groaned as if they were grounded for a week. "Well duty calls" Jenny said, and as if on cue everyone dispersed to the building. I elbowed key in the side ,and her face just lit up. "Alright, follow me" Jenny said turning her back to us. We walked through the lobby, the cafeteria, and so on. when we finally reached the Frag Floor, Jenny said "And that concludes the tour of VGHS." "We litterally walked in a staright li-" Ki said before I interrupted "Jenny doesnt have time to show us noobs around, she has the JV team to run, speaking of which" I said. "5 Reasons" She said. "Wait, what?" I said "Give me 5 reasons I should put you on the JV team" She said again with much more detail. "I- Uh, well- I did that thing" I said trying to gather myself. "The 6 kill streak one bullet thing? Yea no, not a reason. Listen I know who you are, OnscreenEel, and well a kill streak like that isn't going to put you on the JV team. There is scrimmage in two days between JV and Varsity to see who will make the team and who will be moved to Varsity." She said "If you can prove to me by then that you are worthy of competeing, then maybe, just maybe, I'll put you on the team." I nodded. She turned and walked away. 'Where the hell did my confidence go?' I thought.
As soon as Jenny turned the corner, two punks came out of a room with another in tow, with a guitar. They hit him in the stomach with it. "HEY! Stop picking on him or I'll have to inform the TA" I yelled. "Are you stupid or something, this is the TA." The shorter goon said. "Yeah stay out of it, or you're next!" The taller one threatened. The guy being bulling got out of their grip and hid behind me and said with his hand out streched "Im Ted, Ted Wong, and im declaring you my new best friend." I shook his hand. "OnscreenEel, just call me Onscreen." I said. "OK! You guys better back off before my new Best Friend schools your ass!" He said getting all excited. "Is that a challenge?" The short one said. 'Oh shit.' I thought. "I think he just challenged you annilator." The tall one said "I think he just did JumpinJacks." Annilator said. "To the rumble room!" Ted yells.
A lot of people were in one little room crowding two computers. "Its a little cramped in here." I said to Ted. "Yeah this was originally made to be a 1v1 practice area for FPS people, but now we use it for dueling" Ted replies "Now listen, its a 1v1 Elimination match. One life, no respawns." He says holding a mic that appeared mysteriously. "First to kill the other person wins. Player one are you ready?" Ted asks. "Ready as all hell" Annilator answers. "Player two, are you ready?" Ted looks at me. I nod in response. "Annnnd, BEGIN!" Ted yells as the match starts. Everyone is going haywire chanting for me to win. 'Wow everyone is rooting for me' I thought moving behind the cover of a truck 'Annilator is just at the other end of this truck, if i can distract him and cause him to come out the other side i can kill him immediatly.' I continue perfecting the plan for execution. I take a grenade off of my belt and toss it towards him. "Oh, shit" I hear him say as I see his character jump into the open. I draw my M1911 silinced and shoot him in the knee. "Give up, or be executed." I threaten. "Do it, you ain't got the balls to" He replies. I put the barrel of my gun to his head. "Sweet dreams, punk" I say pulling the trigger. 'ONSCREENEEL WINS' it says on the screen.
The room fell silent. I look up and see Annilator hanging his head. "Sad because you lost?" I ask. Ki spoke up "If a players points drop below zero they get-" "Expelled" Someone interuppted. It was Jenny. Annilator got up and looked at JumpinJacks, he looked away ashamed. "Annilator, I didnt know" I say to him reassurely. "Its fine Onscreen, it's my fault." He said. "Four more reasons Onscreen." Jenny said walking away. 'What the hell did I just do?' I though. Ted walked up and put his hand on my shoulder. "Well on the plus side, that guy was supposed to be your roommate." He said. I walked away thinking about how i just got some kid expelled and its my first day. 'This year is going to be absolute hell isn't it?' As soon as i sat down on my bed there was a knock on my door. "Its open" I said refusing to get up. "Hey can we talk?" It was Jenny. "Yeah, sure, whats up.?" I said getting up slowly containing my excitement. "That was pretty sick how you executed him." She said. "Well if i knew he was going to be expelled i would of just let him go." I replied to her. she paced across my room and sat down on my couch. "Well he should've known himself. His parents must be pissed." She said. "well it does cost an arm and a leg to get in here." I replied once more. "Hey I'm having a party tonight, you should come." She said leaving my room. 'A party huh?' I thought
