She yawned obviously bored from the prolonged talks. Let the game decide who is biting more than they can chew.
A lot of people were gathered, obviously waiting for the show to go down.
sophia walked over to register and pay for the game. Don't worry I'll pay for it, the guy shouted. He walked over to the counter, I'll pay for her to play as long as she want.
Sophia frowned she hated being indebted to people, so she politely refused, thanks but I can pay for myself.
What a girl! I hope with all these stunts she's pulling off she'd be as good as she says. Nah! I don't think so, I just think she's just trying to avoid embrassment when she loses. Some people audibly gossiped. Sophia didn't bother with them.
She started with 30minutes first. When she was done with the registration she entered the gaming room which was dark, a big screen lit up with different gaming options on it. Due to the commotion and curiosity of others, the game was displayed on all the screens around, everyone could see and hear her every action. a staff walked in alongside her, he helped her put on the gaming equipments.
When he helped her put on the head-set she was quite uncomfortable, excuse me she called out to him can I use another one that doesn't have more weight as this one.
This is the lightest headset there is here. Some people giggled, some turned away with disinterest. She was already complaining before the game even started was there even a need to continue watching? they thought.
Although the equipment were heavy sophia still had to try to work with it. When the staff turned the game on, woah! Was the word that came out of her mouth. This is so real no wonder it's written on the sign to forget reality! staying in here more than a minute would make you completely forget that it's just a game.
Meanwhile sophia was unaware that the game was broadcasting live in the building and she was busy talking to herself, she turned left to right with excitement. Well some people felt embarrassed watching her display, some found it very cute.
She choose the zombie invasion and her avatar was a soldier in the hospital sent to retrieve vital drugs. 5..4..3...2..1... Begin. she stood for a while then suddenly she heard screams and some zombie nurses rushed towards her and grabbed her hand trying to bite her. Since it was 7d everything was so real even the touch; it felt cool and slimy.
Ehww.... Get away from me, sophia shook the zombie nurse away and started shooting. She was clumsy at first but in time she started getting the hang of it. It had a lot of suspense, most times after killing the zombies present, some would sneak attacks on her from different places, some people with weak hearts actually got terrified when they the zombies appeared from nowhere. but sophia was actually enjoying it she laughed from time to time, she captivated everyone with her joyful laughter.
She walked into the room where the medical supplies were. Bam! She got shot. She looked and saw that there were zombie soldiers and nurses around and they were all coming towards her.
Aren't you guys zombies? How can you can you still hold a gun? She moved to the side for cover then she started shooting them one by one, she shot the ones close to her then the zombies far were shot too.
The bullet in one gun was exhausted and it took 20min to reload so she left with only one. the shots towards her were becoming intense. Her life was reducing. Everyone unknowingly held their breaths. Titling to the side she tried to think of a way out, then her eyes lit up when she saw a barrel by the side, she started shooting it and then bam! It exploded taking a lot of zombies down. She quickly came out of her hiding place and started shooting with full force and speed till she killed everyone, she smiled and walked over to collect the package.
CONGRATULATIONS! you have successfully completed your mission with the highest points 90. The system announced.
Yes! She smiled, then she called the staff, pls help take this heavy weight off, the staff rushed over and helped her take it off.
As as she walked out, a lot of guys ran up to her. That was awesome! I never knew you could play so well! Yh you weren't even scared! You're so awesome.
She received one compliment to another. She just smiled and told them thanks. Meanwhile the guy who was dethroned couldn't spesk he just stood there staring at her.
She was about to go back and meet jason when he spoke up again. I bet 50,000 ments that you won't be able to get up to 50points if the level is raised.
Everyone gasped! Okay now that's a lot of money, it even made sophia pause. She was contemplating. I bet 10,000 ments that she'll be able to do it. I bet 40,0000 she can't..... And like that a lot of people starting placing their bets on whether she could or couldn't get 50points.
So what do you say cutie? He smirked.... No I'm tired I want to rest, sophia replied.
Lies! He scoffed i bet you're just trying to run away, playing the game wasn't easy and you know very well you won't be so blessed this time.
No matter the reason I still beat you so you're not in any position to talk about how difficult the game is, she rebutted.
He was about to explode! How can a little girl talk down on me. How dare you?
Sophia felt a throbbing headache due to his ranting. Why do you guys always have this stupid "entitlement mentality"? Little girl this! Little girl that! I'm a person that can beat you anyday, anytime it has nothing to do with my gender, gosh! It's so annoying. And you know what? I'm going to accept this challenge and I'm going to win so bad that you'll run home to your momma!
Oh!..... There was a huge exclamation! Silence and then screams....
Sophia walked back in. the staffs were also part of the audience so they increased the difficulty level much higher. She was indeed tired but she had to teach that guy a good lesson.
She walked in, with the equipments attached she began playing. This time game was on a completely different level, it was so difficult; she had more enemies and their speed was accelerated, making it difficult to kill them.
She had 5 lives, right now she was left with two, her arms were already starting to hurt but she didn't mind, her mind was clouded with winning.
Boom! One life remaining, the system announced. Beads of sweat formed in her temples. Calm down sophia! You can do this, she tried to calm herself.
It seemed to have worked cuz she was getting better and she finally killed the solider that seemed to be an obstacle. The game was getting close to an hour and her hands were seriously hurting, reducing her speed.
Suddenly she felt a heavy weight on her shoulder, she tried to turn to check what was going on.
Shh.... Stay still! She heard a familiar voice. He slid his hands through the ropes that were hanging loosely on her wrist he held her hands and with that they started shooting the zombies.
What's going on? Everyone was shocked. Where on the earth did he come from? Why is he helping her? It's against the rules? The challenger protested?
Well actually..... A staff spoke up, it's not against the rules because there was never a rule about someone helping her out.
He paused, he was quite confused I still don't get what you're talking about.
Well Sir! what I'm saying is that you placed a bet saying she couldn't get of to 50points but you never said no one was allowed to help her.
He was completely speechless. Well....well... How was I supposed to know that someone was going to help her out in the first place?.
The staff shrugged! and didn't say another word. With gritted teeth the challenger sat down.
10minutes were left when jason came to help her. She was in complete control as she made her way through the stairs.
Shoot left! Shoot right! Over there! Were the commands sophia was saying to jason from time to time. He wasn't with the head-set he could only rely on the screen and sophia.
With only a minute left they needed more kills to increase their points. So they pushed even harder to kill more.
5..4..3..2..1... The game stopped! Jason removed his hand from hers and helped her to remove the head-set. Her hair was a bit messy, she had beads of sweat on her temples, yet she didn't mind and didn't even notice that jason was even helping her remove the gaming gadgets. Her eyes were completely fixed on the screen and so was everyone.
CONGRATULATIONS! You have successfully completed your mission with 55points.
Yes! She was so happy that she pounced on jason taking him by surprise. He came back to his senses and hugged her back, he tapped her head and whispered congrats to her.
Suddenly her senses came back she quickly pulled away and smiled sheepishly at him. Eh... Thanks a lot for helping me. With that she quickly left the gaming room.
Jason felt his heart beat accelerated, for the first she actually smiled at him. She had seen her smile a lot but never towards him, but today she actually did.
He didn't understand why he felt happy. While he was still reasoning the staffs came in and collected the gears from him. He stabled himself and walked out.
Immediately sophia walked out she was surrounded by a lot of people, all trying to know her and get close to her. She smiled but tried to locate that weirdo. Aha! She found him by the side. She walked towards him majestically.
She stretched her hands towards him, where's my cash?
What cash? He was obviously fluttered but didn't want to admit defeat. Your friend helped you so you can't say you won it on your own.
What! Don't tell me you're trying to go back on your words young man I beat you fair and square. But hehe..... She snared if you don't think so why don't you try playing it with your friend. She pointed at the skinny looking guy by his side.
He turned and looked at his friend, he thought about it and shuddered. No way, that's weird!
Well you can't then give me my money! This is to tell you that next time you shouldn't look down on females cuz they can kick your butt badly.
Sophia turned out to be a little celebrity because of the challenge, since she was not only pretty but also a gamer a lot if guys came around. I have money I can give you money, some suggested.
Suddenly someone held her hand she tried to pull her hand away then she realized that it was jason. Let's go upstairs it's too rowdy out here.
The crowd gave way for them to pass. Together they walked upstairs hand in hand, the guards also gave way and they went straight to p's office.
Here you go, you deserve it. P handed a black card to sophia, it's the money from the bet, he smirked I was able to get it out from them. The pin was randomly picked, 0000, you can change it if you want.
Really? thanks! Her eyes were full of joy as she quickly accepted the card. She didn't take her eyes off it, even for a second.
Okay p we'll talk later, can you show us the back door? We can't go back there. Jason asked.
Oh yeah sure! He lead them through his office and surprisingly they walked through a huge door that brought them outside. Jason already informed the driver to move to the back. Hence they quickly got into the vehicle once they were out of the building.
Sophia was happily thinking about how to spend so much money. Then she remembered something. So how did you get to help me at the crucial moment?
Oh! the game was broadcasting live, so everyone could practically see and hear what you were doing.
Oh no wonder! She nodded, accepting the story.
Jason quickly pulled her hand which gave her a shock, what's going on?
He rubbed her palm! How can your hand be so soft? It's like a soft bread. are there even bones in it? Have you really experienced puberty? Cuz I find it hard to believe you're so small and soft like a little baby.
It was the first time she had seen him say so much words at once, but she didn't dwell on it, as she was ready to give him a piece of her mind.
She scoffed! Just so you know, you're only a year older than me. I can't believe you'd ask me such questions. My body is very unique because I take care of myself very well mister. Besides it natural for girls to have soft hands, didn't learn that in biology class? Hmph she glared at him.
Pfft.. . Jason laughed, he couldn't hold it in anymore she was like a little hamster when angry, her checks were puffed, her pretty eyes were wide open as though they'd pop out any second.
I'm sorry! He tried to calm himself,
She rolled her eyes at him, and mumbled some words jason couldn't decipher. After sometime she pushed the card towards him, surprising him.
Let's split it. It's not right if I take everything you helped too and if you didn't take me there I wouldn't have it so it's only fair that we split it.
He pushed it back, it's yours besides I don't need such petty cash. While she was still trying to argue with him, he turned his head to the window. Oh it's ice cream.
Sophia who was busy, trying to transfer money suddenly stopped she turned to look out the window it was getting dark so the sign was pretty bright. "Sweet tooth"
Before she could say anything jason already told the driver to stop the car. He then turned to her let's go get some ice cream.
Sophia jumped down from the car with joy. She was welcomed with a cold breeze and a pleasant smell.
It was like a paradise for ice cream, there was no flavor that couldn't be found. She wandered a bit to check out all the yummy flavors.
When she decided what she wanted she walked back to meet jason, only to find a lot women hanging around him.
Sir I can list all the favors available if you wish, the cashier was smiling from ear to ear.
Oh no need thanks though. Jason smiled softly, making her almost melt.
Sophia shook her head, can't this guy tell that they're doing all that to get close to him. I guess he isn't all that smart after all.
Other ladies around tried to get close to him. He looked around and saw the little lady that made him come here standing by the side with a smug look on her face.
Why are you standing there? Come over, have you chosen what you want?
Immediately all eyes turned towards sophia.
