The boys had to wait another five minutes because Ann's friend was having trouble connecting to the internet and then joining their lobby.
As soon as Jennie entered the lobby, Ann screamed with satisfaction because she was getting annoyed by waiting for so long.
Shawn could just stay silent and question Ann's hypocrisy, she made them wait for so long but she couldn't wait for her own friend for five minutes.
As Jennie joined the lobby she greeted everyone but she seemed a little nervous as she is a little introverted.
"Hello, nice to meet you guys". She said softly, both Shawn and Marcus could tell that she is nervous so they made sure not the startle her.
"Nice to meet you too, my name is Shawn". Shawn introduced himself first.
"Hello Jennie, it's great to finally meet you after all I heard about you from Ann". Marcus said. He has heard a lot about Jennie from Ann and he has a good impression of Jennie.
"I hope it's only good things". She said softly, from what Shawn could hear, he believed Jennie to be a very soft-spoken and timid person, she sounded nervous even though they are not in front of each other.
"Ok, ok, enough talking, let's begin. Remember what you said Shawn, I am about to smoke you again". Ann said frustrated and started the game.
At first, the four teamed up and played against other players online but after dominating almost every game, they started to get bored and decided to face each other in a team deathmatch.
"It looks like you improved a lot but you are still not as good as me". Ann said to Shawn, she still believed that she is the better gamer out of two and she would be right if Shawn hadn't gone through immense changes which improved his reaction speed and time perception.
The four then got into a private lobby and started the match, Shawn teamed up with Jennie while Marcus stayed loyal to his girlfriend, well he wanted to team up with Shawn but Ann threatened him to join her.
To win, Ann even threw her best friend under the rugs because she was not confident enough to take both Marcus and Shawn at once, Jennie is just a beginner so her existence didn't matter in this game, she just faded into the background and listened to Shawn and Ann bickering with each other.
Being the timid person she is, she tried her best to not get involved but also enjoyed laughing with the other three.
The game soon started and Shawn started to play as the lead while Jennie supported him, due to playing for more than two hours with each other, Jennie got really comfortable with Shawn and was enjoying teaming up with him.
Now both of them were working together to go against the team of Marcus and Ann, Shawn took the lead to face Ann while Jennie assisted him from the back, she mostly used explosives to force Ann and Marcus out while Shawn killed them by headshots, he didn't even miss once.
As the game continued Shawn and Jennie continued to pile up wins while Ann started to get really frustrated, the longer the game went the harder it got for her and Marcus, every time she tried to peep through a corner to see Shawn's location, she would get a headshot.
This pissed off her so much that she destroyed her mouse and then started blaming Marcus for not supporting her properly, poor Marcus could only sigh and stay silent and take the abuse, he knew how competitive his girlfriend gets during gaming, and it's in his best interest to not argue with her.
"You are cheating". Ann yelled as she got headshot again. "Hahaha, you suck, since you can't win, you are now accusing me of cheating, you are pathetic". Shawn teased Ann while Marcus and Jennie were having a chuckle but they made sure to not laugh out loud or they will face Ann's wrath.
This went on for hours and Shawn's dominance ran throughout the whole session, after losing so many times Ann rage quit, Marcus also felt frustrated after losing so many times but he was not mad at Shawn, he also went offline to calm down Ann as she was smoking out of her ears.
This left Jennie and Shawn alone, it got a little awkward between them as Marcus and Ann left, and now both Jennie and Shawn are just there in the lobby silent and trying their best to come up with something to start a conversation or at least get out of this awkward situation.
"Sooo.... that was something". Shawn said to break the awkward silence. "Yes, but don't worry, she has always been like this, she will calm down in an hour". Jennie replied.
"I know, I am not concerned about it". Shawn said and the silence continued again, Shawn wanted to smash his head against his monitor but stopped himself.
"Ya, so I will be leaving, I have some work to do, it was fun playing with you... We should do it again". Shawn blurted out a few words and went offline, he then slammed his head on the desk and took a deep breath.
"Way to go genius, why did I have to make it so awkward? fuck I am cringing". He said while his body shivered from all the cringe he just went through, little did he know he was not the only one.
On the other side of the city, inside an apartment room, a girl with black long hair, big black eyes, and pale skin was almost turning red from embarrassment.
"How am I going to fit in if I can't even start a normal conversation, I shouldn't have come here, I am going to die from embarrassment?" Jennie murmured as she buried her face on her pillow while her legs are flailing up in the air, she liked Shawn but because of her timid nature and introverted personality, she couldn't speak with him properly leading to the awkward situation.
