The only reason why I invited Jessica to go out was because she seems so nice. I hope we can hit it off well when meeting personally. It's not like I'm expecting anything to go wrong but I know it might. And besides, I just want someone outside of my own circle to talk. The people from school are nice, but they don't have anything else interesting.
The basketball team is alright, but still...
After I finished talking to Jessica, I went down to go to Mike's house.
Entering our living room, I saw Mom and Dad cleaning the mess they made. There was pie even on the TV Screen. It seemed that a little food war had happened and both got too excited.
I smiled at that.
"I'm going to Mike's house to play some games. Will be back by 11." I leaned on the couch and sneakily ate a piece of the pie that wasn't thrown around.
"Okay. Tell Jake we are going to have a rematch. Last time he got out with that lucky shot." Dad said. Jake is Mike's father.
A few days ago at the park, my dad and uncle Jake came along to play against each other as me and Mike were already working out.
They usually go to play as an exercise to keep them healthy, most of the time Dad wins two in a row and Jake comes back with another two in a row as well. So they are pretty much even.
"Okay, see you guys later." Another smile appeared on my face.
Mike's house is just beside mine, which lets me walk there pretty easily. I knocked on the door and went in. That was my usual routine to get in, our families is one, and uncle Jake ot aunt Rachel never cared about formalities.
As I entered, on the couch watching a TV show was aunt Rachel.
"Good evening, aunt Rachel, is Mike in his room?" I asked her.
"Good evening, Jay. Yes, he is upstairs." She said with a smile.
I went to his room, and found him laying on a puff couch, using a headphone and a joystick in his hands.
"Hey, what are we playing?" I asked as I sat by his side.
"What do you want? 2k? Ohh, and there's COD." He said as he kept playing. He was playing 2k right now.
"Yeah, we play a bit of 2k, and then we play COD." I replied as I reached for the second joystick.
Soon, Mike finished his match and I logged in. We were playing a 2v2, one of the guys we were playing against is "ShootingFor$$ " and the other was "MyBallingGod". The MyBallingGod build was a 7 foot, but apparently he was focused on finishing, moving like a Small Forward.
The match began and we got the ball. MyBallingGod was guarding me. I dribbled through the court and we did a pick and pop, which Mike hit the 3 point.
Their next possession, they tried to make the point in every way they could, but we locked them down and it ended on a shot-clock violation with ShootingFor$$ throwing up a prayer near mid court.
As Mike got the ball from my inbound and dribbled to the other side. He crossed MyBallingGod into a switch as he passed the ball for an alley-opp, leaving ShootingFor$$ under the basket while I dunked on. He couldn't even see where it came from.
It was crazy, as my player got the animation that made him jumped over poor ShootingFor$$. That sure was funny.
The game proceeds, they turned the ball over as Mike made the steal and stopped on the three-point line to shoot and make it.
There wasn't much excitement as they only put up a bit fight at the 10 points mark, but wasn't enough as right after they crumbled, we swept them with a 23-0.
When we logged out of the match, Mike looked at me and said after taking his headphones.
"Dude, did we just swept MyBallingGod, that streamer from Seattle?" He said, suddenly realizing it.
"I think we did. Wasn't he the 7th best player in the 2k World Cup? He is even from 2k League." I said in a calm way, but the rush slightly coming into me.
Mike turned his face to the TV screen and said "Haha, that's crazy."
We kept playing for a while and even got a 13 game winning streak, something which wasn't as easy as that first match.
Sometime later, we switched games and started to play COD. This time we called Jimmy to join us, a guy we met playing at the park near our houses.
I brought my computer this time, and we arranged the table in Mike's room to play a squad match. We also set our headphones, because Jimmy is playing at home so it was better to communicate.
After the match we found started, we decided to go Hospital. It's a hot zone and also has lot of loots.
We jumped with at least 4 other squads but quickly managed to equip with a weapon each. I got an MP5 and went straight for the squad near us.
I found one player watching the others in the corner of a wall and killed him easily. But then a dude jumped from the roof and tried to kill me, luckily only destroyed my shield. I ran into the building while my life is recovering, he was right behind me. When I recovered enough I stopped dashing and waited for him. He came and I just used the default pistol to kill him, leaving his loot to me. I got more armor plates and immediately used them.
At this moment, Mike killed two and Jimmy was struggling against another two.
I told Mike to keep looting and try to find money to buy a loadout drop and leave me as I went to help Jimmy.
I talked to Jimmy and asked about his situation. He only had an MP5 and was low on ammo. That's why he couldn't attack easily.
I dropped enough bullets for him since I had looted the other two guys. We advanced for the other team's location and entered the building. It was a Convenience store in the gas station. I entered through one door and Jimmy through the other.
I killed one, but Jimmy was shot by the second and, surprisingly, the third which left him downed. As I came from the backdoor, I quickly killed the two, since one of them didn't have armor plates, and hit a headshot on the other guy.
I helped Jimmy, looted the kills, and went back to meet Mike. He already had the money to buy a loadout drop, and I had money to buy a UAV.
After buying it, I got two customized weapons from the loadout drop, then we used the UAV and headed for the kill.
The first players we found after that, were two squads in downtown, killing them through the surprise attack. I got 3 kills from that.
After some time, the safe zone was closing to its end. We had already bought more UAVs and killed 8 teams. Checking the score, 13 kills for me, Mike had 10, and Jimmy had 9. There were only 3 more teams left for us to kill.
We were up in a place called Crash Site, which is basically a mountain. The other teams were coming from Riverside, down the mountain cliff.
Soon, I heard Mike's voice.
"Sh¡t! Jay, they got me. Somewhere between the trees, I couldn't see." He yelled, sounding a little agitated.
"They got me too. On the left side where Mike is at." This was Jimmy.
Before I could reach Mike's situation, the other last two teams were a little far to my right side, and already firing at each other.
Back at the guys that shot Mike and Jimmy, I noticed they were beside a few trees, with my position having the height advantage, I threw a Grenade, making them run further left to the trees, trying to escape the explosion. I had switched to a sniper and managed to get one down with a headshot, finishing the kill in just a moment.
I jumped from where I was and used the parachute to land smoothly. A few meters above the ground, I closed it and got another headshot on one of them before landing. Then I hid behind a three, changed weapons, and created a little distance between me and the tree.
I started running and did a slide to get closer to the last guy. He was waiting for me to finish his partner and kill me while doing so. But I actually ran to the other side and killed him, consequently killing both as there were no other teammates left.
It only took around 30 seconds. By this time, Mike was already cheering as loud as he could. Jimmy was laughing like crazy too.
Yet, there were two teams left, so I can't get complacent at this moment.
I climbed the hill again and closed near a house where one of the teams was hiding. I shot one huy trying to hide from the other team. I waited about 4 seconds and shot with the sniper.
Right after I downed him, I shot at his teammate, who had just the top of his head showing at the window.
Both were downed with headshots.
"HOLY SH¡T, DUDE!" Mike exclaimed.
Jimmy was silent. I think he couldn't believe what he just saw. It was just too fast.
After that, I assumed the position of the first guy that I killed, entered the house, finished him, and went up the stairs. There was the last teammate helping the second one I downed from their team.
I started to fire at him, broke his armor, and then I went down the stair, because he also fired at me, although barely. But as soon as I had cover, I threw a bomb.
Killed both.
As I went up the stairs again, I collected the loot and waited for the last three guys.
The safe zone was closing in my favor.
There was only a tiny bit of open space between their position and mine. So I threw a smoke in the middle. I stayed by the window and aimed the rifle. They had to come, the gas zone was closing.
I waited and they came. I fired the rifle, got one down and two others went into the house. Right after, the explosion sounded and they both were down as well. I had left the house loaded with C4 explosives before I went to the second floor.
"That's it. Game over."
