Life Is But a Game --- Chapter 1
In the Fortress of Desolation where the evil wizard lies...
The battered-up knight continued to defeat skeletons, trolls, and other creepy things. He used potions, weapons, everything he had to reach the stairs to the next level. Pow! Splat!
"I'm not giving up! Grrrr"
Another Pow! Another Splat!
"Die, die, die!!!!!!"
Finally he arrived at the third floor staircase but blocking the door was the EVIL wizard, Defixio.
"We meet again young knight, I'm suprised you've made it this far."
"Shut up and prepare to die! And stay dead this time!" The knight had already beaten the wizard TWICE in previous levels but it seemed like the wizard just didn't know when to give up.
"I'd suggest you take your own advice."
Boom!
"Muahahahahaha"
Serena was momentarily blinded by the flash of light. Her poor knight had been blasted to smithereens. Damn that stupid wizard!!! She impatiently reached into her pocket to search for more quarters but her hand came out empty. DARN IT! She stamped her foot acquiring stares from everyone else in the arcade.
"Looks like you lost again, Serena. What's the matter no more shiny quarters?"
"Oh be quiet!"
"Why don't you ask one of your friends?"
"They won't lend me more! They say video games is a waste of time and money."
"He he," Andrew chuckled, "Well it's true you know... but for my job's sake just keep feeding that machine!"
"Hey! I'll get that wizard, just you wait and see!"
"Oh, Meatball Head, I'll be standing here waiting for that glorious day but wait, scratch that thought, I don't wanna stand here and grow moldy watching you lose over and over again!" The intruder slapped one of Serena's buns on her head.
"God, Darien get a life!" Serena covered her head protectively. And with that, she stalked out of the arcade. Not without walking into the glass doors first of course. "Wahhhhhhhhhhhh" Serena ran into the street holding a giant bump on her head.
"Ahhahahaha" Tears streamed down Darien's not so handsome face for he was pight red from lack of oxygen.
"Calm down!" Andrew started slapping Darien on the back. But the poor guy couldn't stop laughing. "Gosh, Why do you hafta be soooo mean?"
"I.........ahhahahaha......I'm.............ahhhhhaaahhhhh"
"Nevermind." Andrew walked away leaving Darien rolling on the floor. At least I won't have to mop the floor. He's doing it for me with his ugly Earth Shirt.
In every high school you will find cliques. Or at least people will always hang around people who they feel to be like them. At Serena's school, it was the same. Serena was one of the giggly teens who whinned and goggled at guys too much. Darien was one of the cool hunks that could boss just about anyone around. So you can't really blame Darien for making his life mission, "I must ruin Serena's day". Of course when your ruining somebody's day, no matter how cute you are, your asking for trouble.
"Hey Meatball Head, after yesterday's episode, I'm really considering calling you Clumsy Head."
Think of comeback, think of comeback!!! "Humph! Well...well..."
"Well?"
"You smell!"
"Yep, that's what my nose is for. Anymore obvious facts you wanna state?"
"Humph! You know that's not what I meant!" Deciding she could never win, Serena tried to walk away. Instead she tripped and landed on her face. "Owwwww!!!!!"
It was sad to see someone so clumsy. He almost had the urge to help her up but... "Oh god Serena you just crack me up. Ahahahahhahha!"
Serena, turning bright red, ran down the hallway away from her evil tormentor. "Ouch! Not again! How dare you block my way???" Serena rebounded and landed on the floor. Rubbing her injured bottom she looked up.
"Oh sorry! Are you alright? Here lemme help you!" He extended his hand to the fallen blonde.
Serena remained on the floor, staring starry-eyed at the stranger. *Drool*
"Miss. Miss! Are you alright?" Oh god, I think I really hurt her! He knelt and began tapping her face. "Miss???" Ahhhhhh she's drooling! What have I done???
"Huh?" The stranger picked Serena up. It took some time for Serena to realize she was in the stranger's arms and that they were heading down the hallway. "Where are we going?"
"To the nurse's office, you musta hurt your head or something."
"Oh! Oh wait! I'm fine." The stranger kept walking. "No, no. It's okay put me down, people are staring!"
The stranger blushed. "I'm...I'm sorry about that."
Once her feet were firmly planted on the ground, Serena replied, "It's okay, not your fault. I bumped into you anyway."
"I guess you've accepted my apology then"
"Uh...yea..."
The stranger gave Serena a heart melting smile and hurried away. Serena quickly turned to leave trying to hide her blush. She rushed to her locker, "Ahhhhhh I just can't wait to tell Mina! She'll be so jealous! Cute, nice, sooo cute!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Just thinking of him made her drool. "I wonder where he came from. Haven't seen him around. Maybe he's a transfer student. Maybe I could show him around!!!!!!!!" She continued to stand there mumbling her fantasies.
"Serena! Serena!" Mina waved her hand in front of her friend's face."EARTH TO SERENA! YOU'RE TALKING TO YOUR LOCKER!"
Will Serena ever get out of her trance?
Will they expel her for talking to her locker?
How jealous will Mina be if she ever finds out about this hot stranger?
When will I stop asking myself questions???
All will be revealed in the next installment of Life is But a Game.
