All this….It's just déja vu to me……"Hey..look over there-" The kids from my preschool all point and whisper about me."He's so quiet..weird-""Yeah-"I was by myself for a while now.I did attempt to make friends but… they were short lived because of rumors or me not being interested in what they're into..They just drift away.And I stopped trying…."Haru! Haru!"My mom often picks me up from classes until I graduated…I'd always dread going in that car…she always had high expectations that I often never meet and when I don't…"Aren't you ashamed?"She asked me in the car as we were driving home after my final graduationI placed 2nd in my entire class. I lost 1st by two points.. I expected her to be happy but-"Huh?" i was confused to what she was implying-"Your scores..you passed your tests but you're not the top in your class,you made a promise to me…Did you forget that?"..."No mom…"—I was held down while the guy searched through my bag.He came out empty handed and just t
Me and Gabriel waited at the gates of the college for Tom and Jerry who was supposed to pick us up today.I sighed, staring onto the street waiting for something, anything to relieve me of this awkward situation."So …how about school?" I asked, trying to start a conversation."Stressful-" He replied, staring onto the street just like me."How about you?" He asked."Same-" i sat on the floor and held my bag close to my chest..i couldn't stand anymore it's been too long!Gabriel copied me and we both just sat there ..waiting."Anyone give you any trouble?" He asked.I looked at him confused. That question came out of nowhere but he seemed to be seriously waiting for an answer."Nah everyone just kept their distance..""Really?" He gave me a look of genuine surprise."What do you mean, really?" I asked, also giving a look of genuine surprise."Well… on your current reputation i would doubt that someone wouldn't trouble you …even after all that-" Gabriel explained..He did have a point bu
Hi, my name is Taida Haru but my close friends just call me Haru.Well, I only have one close friend, in fact, he's my only friend Gabriel Briar. We live in a dorm room together for university.He's the best. He's also super into gaming but has a better social life than mine and if anything he's the only reason I see the sun at all other than school.All I do with myself all day besides study is just play video games. I know it's incredibly unproductive but believe it or not, I like my current lifestyle.I keep in touch with a lot of gamers and streamers my favorite one has to be unentitledghost47 also known as Miku AlvieEveryone knows her but my best friend is obsessed with her."Hey dude guess what." Gabriel burst through my door with a huge grin on his face.I looked at him not responding, trying to process what he just said after being up for 24 hours just playing video games. He walked in and opened the blinds letting all the light in. I quickly covered my eyes. I felt like I w
Hey my name is Taida Haru I'm 19 attendinguniversity as a freshman.My life isn't at all interesting...I live in the small town of Syoto. We don't have apartments and the only thing we have worth mentioning is our university. Oh, and the new game stop place is opening today.Yeah, they're actually making a comeback took them long enough.I remember my grandfather talking about his great great great great great great grandfather's experience there. I can't wait to see it.Oh right back on topic.As a celebration of the grand opening, they hired Miku Alvie herself to do a live stage performance!exciting right?I don't know about you but I can't wait to meet her."Hey...Haru!" ...I felt a sharp sting on the back of my head."Ow!" I turned behind me to see what was the issue."Are you still sleepy? I told you to sleep early last night." My best friend Gabriel started to nag me."no, I was just ..daydreaming that's all." We were in a Taxi heading towards the concert."Ok then. we'
The game was on. Everyone got separated except for me and Gabriel.Apparently, the whole thing was a battle royal everyone vs her."There's no way we could lose."That's what I thought anyway."" Roi was killed by Unentitledghost47"""""troybultin56 was killed by Unentitledghost47 """"" rian'n'Jamal was killed by Unentitledghost47 ""The list just kept going and going and going.Now once a list of ten thousand ...is now a list of five thousand in seconds.The pressure was on.We were hiding in a tree looking down for Miku so we could have a chance at escaping.Gabriel was just as scared yet excited as I am."So any knowledge of this game?" he asked hoping I played this before and as a matter of fact I did."This game is called universal take over. This is one of the biggest battle royal games to date with 10 different planets and each of them has the map size of an average open-world RPG.""Then how the hell do games even finish with that much space??" "The map shrinks over time. A
We were stuck in that building for hours until the police arrived.Miku pulled them aside away from the line to talk to them about something.I was nervous I might go to jail. I don't know what this is about. I probably touched something I wasn't supposed to and now it's gone??Ugh, my head hurts.Soon enough the officers came up to us. There were only two of them, one looked to be more of a trainee than an actual officer."We're going to check you for stolen equipment so one at a time come up to officer Jerry here and we'll check you."Stolen equipment? who in their right mind would try such a thing?? Well at least I'm fine I didn't steal anything.I walked forward first full of confidence I just wanted to get this over with.They patted me down and felt something. I still didn't budge, it's probably just my phone....NOPE! Of course not, they reached into my pockets and pulled out a tiny chip that people use to mod games."step out of the line sir." I was in disbelief but I liste
So... let's recap shall we?Two gamer dudes (cool dudes Mind you) think it would be fun to attend the concert of our favorite gamer. Enjoyed the event, and planned to go home but whoops a new sudden change has been added which causes us to stay because we love games and it's against our favorite game Miku for crying out loud.Gets absolutely OBLITERATED in said game and somehow during all that time we get framed for theft."Today has to be the worst day ever," I muttered to myself.We were at the dinner table. It was macaroni and cheese tonight. Gabriel did not join us tonight though he almost threw up at the sight of more cheese. 'heh- serves him right-' I thought to myself"Oh Haru, I didn't know you had a girlfriend." I sunk into my chair when my mom said that both of my palms were against my face."no, I'm not-" Miku tried to explain but my mom just cut her off as she normally does when she's about to hear something she doesn't like."No need to be so modest here have some more
"I'm giving you five seconds!" I shouted from outside, still waiting for her to get out."You're just wasting your breath." I heard her say from the bathroom but I counted anyway."5." "4." "3.""2!!"I heard someone knocking on the door.Now before I go through the whole "I opened the door." type thing imma just say this.You remember that cousin I talked about."Hey.." A tall guy about six feet with black hair and brown eyes."uh...what are you doing here Eli?" I said not wanting to fully open the door."I could ask you the same thing.." He tried speaking through the door but I blocked him."uhh... I was ...suspended ..yeah." I tried to play it off cool but all that effort was ruined when Miku shouted at Gabriel from upstairs."What the hell are you doing??" "uh...""you got friends over?" Eli began to get skeptical..shit... it's only a matter of time until he decides to push through me-"no-" There I saved itThe conversation got quiet between us just blankly staring at each o
