Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Pick Up

*Grabs Adam by the neck*

"Are you stupid or did you just plain out forget?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

I forgot that her birthday was yesterday. What the hell was I doing the whole day? My day has now been ruined.

"Listen, please forgive me. I totally lost track of time."

"Lost track of time? What in the world could you be doing that made you lose track of time?"

Like I said before, my day consists of straight-up bad luck. First, my mom rushes me out of the house without my phone then I find out I'm failing every class, now I forget a brats birthday. At this point, I don't care what's going to happen.

"Hey! Are you listening to anything I'm saying?"

"To be honest, no."

"...What the hell is wrong with you. I'm going to snap you in half."

* 1-minute pass*

"Jeez. I know I messed up but can you not. I'm having a bad day as it is. All I want to do is go to this "game club" and enjoy the rest of my day."

"Wait, you were going to do that? Me too!"

Yup, I knew my torture wasn't over.

"If you were thinking about going then why where you wasting time here? We're going to miss the signup?"

"This is mostly your fault anyways. if you hadn't forgotten that it was my birthday then we wouldn't be here talking right now."

*Proceeds to walk towards the club

After walking halfway across the school, Niki turns to me and says "So where is the club again?"

"I have been following you around this whole time, and now you tell me that you don't even know where you're going?"

"Well, I'm sorry that I don't know where the club is. But you should know where the damn club is anyways."

Footsteps are heard from a distance from one of the halls.

"You stupid idiot. You do know your standing right in front of it, right?"

"And how were we supposed to..."

Right above the classroom we were standing outside was a LED sign reading "GameClub Home of the (insert name here)". I think the better question is, do I need to get my eyes checked. Marcus turns the corner, but the voice definitely didn't come from him.

"What the hell? did you not see the sign? straight dumbass.this is the reason why...

"Shut up. Who was just talking behind you?"

"I don't know, some kid with a beanie and some bummy clothes."

"What, wait you mean Anthony?"

Anthony walks around the corner.

"Yeah, it's me. I figure what else to do other than rot away playing games"

Anthony is known as "The Edgy Kid in The Back" and as you can see, he holds true to his edge.

Marcus turns to Anthony "Oh, the edgy kid in the back, I didn't realize you for a second. How is life?"

Anthony walks into the room without answering.

"I forgot, he doesn't have a life."

"Hey, can we just go in? I'm getting tired of waiting out here."

"Well, no one is stopping you, Niki."

"But, well nevermind. I'm just not trying to go in there alone."

"You act like you are afraid to meet new people yet you beat me up like you don't even know me."

"Well, that's because you deserve it. You need to learn what pain feels like."

"Interesting... Well then before I go insane listening to the two of you ramble, I'll be waiting inside."

We all enter the room and it appears to be a computer room. Another 2 minutes pass before the club starts. The club teacher walks into the room with a box in his hands and walks over to the middle of the room to set it down then he begins to speak.

"Hey guys, My name is Tony. I will be the Person looking over this club for as long as I"m around. I have a heart for gaming and I would like for everyone here to enjoy there time together, so before we get started I would like for everyone to introduce themselves. It looks like we have quite a few people in with us today so let's start with you, the kid in the back?"

"Well, My name is Anthony and I am dying."

Some time goes by and the people finish introducing there selfs.

"Well now that we know each other, I bought somethings for this class. A coupe keyboards and controllers, everyone here will be assigned one pare."

I look into the box and all I see are Cutter keyboards and GameStation controllers. the stuff in this box easily added up to a good $10,000.

Marcus turns to Tony "Hey teach, how much money do you have?"

"Yes."

"Wait what?"
