"Your class was cancelled Phoebus?" I asked him. He nodded yes as we stood next to the door to his empty classroom. "Bro, we gotta use this time to do something fun. When was the last time we went to the college game room?" I asked. He snapped his fingers and gave a smirk.

"Man it's been a hot minute since we went down there. This was my last class for the day what about you?" He asked me back.

"I don't go to Mr. Jhin's class today. So we might as well go down there." We both nodded in agreement then headed in the right direction. We used small talk to pass the time until we got to the east side of the college. The game room was sort of hidden on the east side... you had to like go down steps and shit just to get there. Once we got there we opened the glass double doors, swiped our I.D cards and took in the atmosphere.

This... this is where most of the nerds, anime heads, game heads, etc hung out. Board games, video games, little private rooms for people to hang out in, it was a big room to do your own things in. Most of the time when I come down here I just play Tekken and whoop everyone asses in it. Today? Shit it wouldn't be any different. I put my bookbag in the corner of the room, found some people around the Tekken set up and took a seat.

Meanwhile, Phoebus was on the other side of the room playing other games. He wasn't good at fighting games but was good at so many strategy games it was unreal. His favorite game was Chess with Puyo-Puyo coming a close second. I turned my head and watched the fight that was on the middle screen. The way it was set up was like playing in a tournament. Two monitors back to back with one flat screen above the competitors.

The match ended and I got up to take the guy's spot. Controllers were already supplied so I just picked up one in the middle of the table and plugged it in. I fist bumped my opponent and choose my character. I normally play Miguel when I want to fuck around and assumed I wouldn't need to go my main. This is a casual game room so no one really knew how to play.

My assumptions were right. I kicked this dude ass using like the same three strings. I started to train the room and beat everyone who stepped up. Soon everyone left and I was sitting by myself. I started up practice mode and fucked around until someone asked me to play. it was this... weird lookin' dude. He had this fedora hat on, a long ponytail, A sliver chain, light tan skin, black sweatpants, yellow T-shirt with these really nice yellow air forces. "Oh so this is the game you been practicing on?"

His friend or girlfriend, a little on the shorter side, white hair in a ponytail, white skin, tight white T-shirt with the words "top only" On them, black leggings with shoes to match.

"Yeah, I got a tournament coming up." The guy said with a very calm manly voice. This guy had to be in his thirties. We choose our characters, me not taking him seriously choose miguel while he picked Kazuya. While the match loaded I gave him a fist bump. He smiled and gave me one back. The match started and holy shit this dude was good. He punished correctly, knew my strings, I couldn't fuck with him.

I smirked at this, one thing about me is... I was a competitive guy. I go to tournaments on a regular with this game, I have fought a lot of good people so too see some actual competition in the wild? I love it. I switched characters, choose Claudio to test him. Next match, I showed him no mercy and actually whipped his ass. "Oh shit babe, he clapped your ass back!" His girl taunted.

"Okay, okay you aren't playing around anymore. I like it." He said to me. Man this dude vibe was cool as hell. Is it because he looks older? He wasn't angry how most people are at this game when shit like that happens. The next match started and he tightened his game up. He did win but it was really close. My heart was racing man... I gotta keep playing this guy, I was having fun. We played again and this time I won but the match was still so close.

"What's your name kid?" He asked me.

"Anthony, yours?" I asked back.

"Yasuo. Nice to meet you. I normally play trash here but to see someone this good it surprises me. Are you going to the upcoming major in two weeks?" He asked me.

"Hell yeah. I already paid and got my bracket placement." I answered. He stood up so I stood up as well.

"Practice well my friend. I want to see you in top eight." He gave me a fist bump and disconnected his controller. I nodded as he picked up his bookbag and walked off. His girl waved bye and followed her boyfriend out of the game room. I smiled as he walked off with such cool ass swag... Did I just meet my rival?

I pulled out my phone and checked the time. it was around five-thirty. I looked around for Phoebus and he was talking to his crush Akali. Man I was so into those matches I didn't noticed that she walked in. I didn't want to cock block my boy so I sent him a text telling him I'll see him at the dorm later on. I sighed and left the game room... it was time to stalk my crush again.

First place I went to was the gym. There were people playing basketball but she wasn't there. Maybe she was at the football field? I took that long ass walk to the football stadium and it was a ghost town. Let's try... baseball? She would like that right? I walked to the cages and baseball field and she wasn't there. I tried the tennis courts, swimming pools, the weight room and she wasn't anywhere.

Well... I guess I have to draw her without looking at her. I walked back to the football field and noticed the sun was setting. I made it to the stadium and the stadium lights were on. I walked through the long entrance way and walked up the concrete steps. I sat down and looked around to double check if anyone was here. I didn't see anyone at first... until a few minutes passed.

I heard people talking near me, it sounded like they were on the first floor from where I was. The talking got closer and closer and it sounded like women talking to each other. I waited another few minutes and the women showed themselves. My stomach dropped as one of the girls were Vi and the other? That woman she was with two days ago. I watched them walk to the other side of the stadium and sit together.

The same interactions as before, getting closer to each other, laughing, I shouldn't be worried right? I tried to ignore them but my brain wouldn't shut the fuck up and let me look away. I was jealous looking at them enjoy each other's company. "That should be me with her." I said under my breath. I opened my sketchbook but my heart made me look again.

This time when I looked? My throat shrunk... This time when I looked... Vi was kissing this woman. My heart exploded as I couldn't stop watching her kiss this other bit- I mean girl. I quickly forced myself to pack my things and walked the opposite direction to another entry way away from them. "Tomboys always turn out to be lesbians." I said out loud. I was pissed man... but in reality? I was heartbroken. It's not like I was going to gather the balls to talk to her anyway... but what if I did? Phoebus would eventually tease me to point I would.

Fuck man. I hope she knows I am going to rip all her pages out of my sketch book.

I held in my emotions as long as I could until my best friend knocked on my door. I sighed and stood up to go open the door. "What's wrong homie?" He asked me. As much as I love my boy, I hate that he knows me so damn well. I stared at him and I realized I couldn't hold that shit any longer. My eyes started to get wetter as the tears began to fall. He stood there silently as I loss control. I grabbed my best friend and cried into his chest.

"She... has... a... girlfriend... broooo..." I whined. He said nothing as I continued to ruin his shirt with my tears. It took him a few minutes to finally say something.

"It's going to be okay Ant. I knew something was wrong with you, you didn't say shit when I got to the room." I got a hold of myself and leaned backwards. "Let's go to the bathroom man. You need to wipe that shit off of your face." I nodded and walked to the bathroom. He followed me as I took some tissues to wipe my face.

"Bitches ain't shit." I said. This made Phoebus laugh at me as I wiped my face of tears.

"Well that's what you get for stalking her. you brought this on yourself. It's like going through someone's phone. You are finding truth you know you can't handle." He was right man... Still I feel like shit.

"I am going to that party tomorrow and find some woman to suck my dick so I can get over her." I can't keep my emotions in check.

Phoebus raised any eyebrow at me. "Man shut you ass up. When we go to this party you are going to sit in the corner and draw Vi over and over again." I sighed and flushed down the toilet paper. "Look, go jack your dick, forget about her, and let's find a new girl for you stalk." He patted my shoulder and smiled at me. I gave a small smile back.

The rest of the night? I jacked my dick furisously to Vi. It's going to be a while for me to get over her...
