Ayden's Point of View
"Yes, I'm PAC the one who led our team back to back champion, Although I'm not sure about the most famous Valorant Player." Primo introduced himself and smirked
All of us are shocked about Primo's confession of him being the ranked # 1 in North America region, because of my excitement I couldn't contain myself because there is a lot of things I want to asked him. I looked around and I see My family getting shocked but I can tell in their faces that they are confuse on what did Primo told us awhile ago.
"I'm sorry Primo but I can't understand you? The Valorant what? and what champion?" My dad repeatedly question Primo
Gosh My parents are so old and they don't know these kind of topics
My older sister pulled My hair to get my attention to look at her
Ouch! OMG Why are you like this Sister?
"Explain it to us." she demanded
When she said that, My parents looked at me and I can also see Primo smiling while looking at me and his foreign girlfriend
"Well Valorant is a 5 versus 5 tactical shooter game and when it got released the world made a tournament for it and that is called Valorant e-sports tournament, Before going to the international tournaments, first, you must be qualified for the national tournament before going into International tournament, Well, Primo here is in a Valorant Team and let's just say Primo's team got in the International tournament twice and win it twice, I've researched on google before the Prize money of being the Champion of the Tournament is about 100million US Dollars." I explained to them
I heard a broken glass sounds and I look where the sounds came from, and it was My mom who dropped her Glass maybe she was so shocked about hearing the Prize money.
"Ayden, I know you're playing Valorant, why didn't you go to that tournament?" My dad seriously asked me that
I got triggered by it but I decided not to burst out my temper.
"Well, It's not easy as you think Mr. Mackenzie." Primo uttered
"You're friend here plays Valorant 1 year ago and we don't know that there was this Prize money, If we knew then I'll probably forced my son to play it." Mom said to Primo
What the hell am hearing right now
Are they that desperate for money?
Forcing me to play a game that I'm not good at?
"Are you that desperate?!" I yelled
To think that My parents are so desperate about this kind of things, ALL BECAUSE OF MONEY!!
"Excuse me?" My mom asked while laughing so awkwardly
She is mad right now but she's trying to keep her cool
"If you are just like Primo maybe we can be in much better lifestyle, I've already told you this before, stop wasting your time playing games that you can't get money from" My dad yelled and everyone was shocked
The words that came out from My Dad is the words I really don't want to hear from a parent, Hearing those words hurts me a lot and I know that I now have teary eye, I wipe my eyes with my hands and because of anger I quickly run upstairs and go to My room and locked myself up and cried a lot. You don't know the pressure when your bestfriend just came home from another country and you guys haven't seen each other for a long time and It's embarrassing to have Primo witness all of that. What will Primo think of me as a friend ?
After a few minutes of crying someone knock at my door.
"Get away from me!!" I yelled as loud as I could
"Dude..It's me wanna go come over to My place for tonight?" Primo suddenly asked while he was knocking on My door
What did he mean by his place? As I can recall his parents abandon him.
"What place?" I asked him confusely
"Well.. It's not literally My place more like it's Kylie's place and open the door will you?" He explained
Who is Kylie?
I opened the door quickly and asked Primo
"Who is Kylie?" I asked him
"Oh..Right you were in your room and I get to pick you up earlier that is why you didn't get to know her...Sorry I forgot. That is the girl who is with me, The American girl." he uttered
Oh! Kylie is her name
"Is she your girlfriend?" I asked him again but this time with a grinning smile on my face
"No dude, She is just My bestfriend." he said
Something came up to my mind and get my revenge on Primo for what he did to me earlier
"So you've found another bestfriend other than me?" I asked him and tease him while acting like I was getting jealous
"It's not like dude!" he denied it and felt guilty
I burst out of laughter and laugh at him
"I got you good bro, It is a payback for earlier!" I declared and laught at Primo
He facepalmed I think because of the Cringeyness of the atmosphere
"So back to the topic, Wanna come to Kylie's place tonight?" Primo questioned me again
It's late and I really want to sleep right now.
"Maybe some other time bro, I'll just be here at My room and I'm about to sleep also." I replied
"Alright. I'll see you soon I guess." Primo said goodbye and was about to leave my front door but I stop him
"Primo..... this is kinda awkward but I'm planning on creating a team in Valorant and I know that you're playing against pro players and the gameplay is on another level compared to us but I was hoping on recruiting you on My team." I uttered and hoping that he will say yes
"Yeah! That'd be cool bro and don't worry about a high ranked gameplay I can teach you guys and since I'm here in the Philippines I'm gonna start all over again from low ranks and that'd be great because I can play with you guys although it is kind of Smurf but who cares right? As long as we have fun!!" Primo joyfully exclaimed and smiled at me
I also smiled at him
Wow I didn't think Primo would be like this
"When are you gonna teach us?" I asked him
As soon as I asked him I heard Kylie's voice calling him
"We'll talk about it in School, Bye, Goodnight bro." he says farewell and go downstairs
As soon as Primo leaves I close the door and jump on my bed and grab my phone to talked to my bestfriend Alexis.
"Hey Alexis, I have something to tell you but don't be shocked." I message her in messenger
She replied quickly
"What is that Ayden?" She asked
"Well... You remember my bestfriend that was living in the United States?" I asked her
"Yeah, Primo. What about it?" She questioned me
"He came home and suddenly went to my place and I was also shocked because I didn't know that Primo will be coming home tonight." I explained it to her
"YOOOOOOOO DUDEEEEE THATS GREAT NEWS!!!" she exclaimed in the chat and even if it is still in messenger I can still hear her voice
"Wait, wait there's more.... Are you ready for it?" I want to surprise her
"Come on now, Don't leave me hanging" Alexis tried to persuade me
"You know that I really want to make a team for Valorant right? I've asked Primo to be part of our team." I said
"What did he said?" She replied
"We will be having our Teammate number 3." I replied to her
"HOLY SHITT DUDE!!! That's great! Umhhh what do you mean by we?" she asked
Oh she still don't know I include her in our teammates before I even asked her to be part of the team. LOL
"I included you to be on my team even without your permission, is that fine?" I asked
"You're so sweet! You're future girlfriend should be grateful to you. If you ever gonna get one LOL" she teases me
"Shuddup If ever I'm gonna get a girlfriend I would prefer the one who plays Valorant also" I said
"If you say so. Btw, I'm gonna go for a while I have something to do in the house, Goodnight Ayden." she bids farewell
"Goodnight Alexis." I said to her and turn off my phone and put it on my side table. I lay down straight on my bed and imagine ourselves being in the top what I mean is being the Champions, I would love that after I imagine those things I tried to go to sleep because I'm still early for tomorrow at school.
--------------------------------------------
IN THE CAMPUS
Me and Alexis walked to school again because it is fun to walk than to commute and besides it's early in the morning and I want to exercise as well. We were about to go inside the school but a loud noise come from afar got our attention, We looked to where the loud noise came from it sounds like a exotic car because no ordinary car can manage to pull that kind of noise and as expected a good looking car and I think it is a porsche car because of it's logo and I can already tell who are they because the car has no roof or maybe it is portable. All of the students that who was about to enter the school was also distracted by the car and also Alexis poke me.
"Do you think they are in our school?" Alexis asked me while we are looking at the porsche car that was about to parked
I'm pretty sure they are in our school guessing from who that person is...
"Yep they are from our school." I uttered with confidence
She hit my head with her palm
"How do you know? You don't even know them." Alexis asked
I know them pretty well
"That's Primo and I'm not sure about the girl probably his girlfriend." I declared
Alexis suddenly becomes quiet and I looked at her and I can see in her eyes that she is very shocked
"That's Primo?!!" she unbelievably asked
I nodded
Kylie get out of the driver seat and all of them are amazed by her well who wouldn't though, She have a beautiful face and a perfect body. All of a sudden I heard someone shouted with a familiar voice to me and Alexis because if I remember correctly those are the voices of the bullies in our school, We watch them approach Alexis surrounded her I'm panicking for Primo but I saw Primo is just listening to his music in his headphones while fixing his things in the car before getting out.
I didn't hear what are the bullies saying to Kylie but I can see in their faces that they are planning menacing. Things went by so fast and the next thing I know is that Kylie is going together with the group of bullies but they aren't heading out in the school, they headed elswhere
Alexis grabbed my arms that caught my attention
"What do you think they're planning for that girl?" Alexis worriedly asked
"I don't know?" Probably they'll hang out." I spoke without thinking
"Didn't you know that there is someone in our class had a trauma because of them?" Alexis asked me seriously
The thought of her being in danger suddenly came into my mind
After Alexis said those words I looked again to Kylie's car park and I immediately run towards that direction to alert Primo what is happening to Kylie, Alexis run also and she followed me.
Why does this guy wears his headphones even when they are at the school
When I got to Kylie's car I pulled Primo's headphone because the roof of this car is portable and right now it doesn't have a roof luckily I got Primo's attention.
"Oh hey Ayden, How are you?" Primo greeted me
"No time for that Kylie just met a group of bullies!" I alerted him
"How many are they?" Primo asked
"They're four." Alexis uttered
Primo looked at Alexis and his face started to become serious
"Who the hell are you?" Primo asked
I remember something just now that Primo is always like this if he doesn't know the person well, He's always like this to strangers.
"Uhh Primo this is Alexis my friend." I introduced Alexis while pointing out to her
"Ohh... Why didn't you say so..I'm Primo Alexander Crawford, Nice to meet you." Primo's face goes back to being jolly and introduced himself to Alexis
Alexis only waved at him because of feeling shy
"Hey aren't you gonna get out of the Car and go find Kylie?" I asked Primo
"Why bother? Kylie can take care of herself." He uttered while he was getting out of the car
After he got out of the car Primo stretched his body first
"It's too early to go to school, I hate it." he complains
Does this guy don't care about his girlfriend or friend?
"Why do you look so chill?" Alexis asked while raising her eyebrows
She may look nerdy but at the same time she can look scary when she is pissed
"Because Kylie beat me." Primo replied with a cold tone
While we are talking a guy with his 2 friends bumped into me and I suddenly trip on the ground when I look at who he is I suddenly remember the time when they bullied me last year, It was just a "prank" but they overdo it and I still had a trauma for that. Because this guy's group forced me around to walked around the campus while naked and covering only the private area. I don't want to remember it anymore . This guy is a beast in here I can't believe that he is still studying because he is so large and probably even taller than Primo.
"Watch it peepsqueek." The guy uttered and looked down to me
"Hey isn't that the guy we forced to walked down the campus naked?" the other guy asked while laughing
When they remember it was me that they pull a prank on they surrounded me even though I was still sitting on the ground
"Oh hey hey you want another prank again?" another guy said and lower his body to the ground and tapped my shoulder
I'm pretty sure the people around here are just looking at us and they are scared of this guy because this guys are in there senior year. I looked at Alexis and told her to run, She ran back to school. Luckily The 3 guys are after me and not her so she will be safe. The guy who lower his body just to talked to me grabbed me by the chin and said
"Say no and you know what is gonna happen next." he commanded while smiling
I close my eyes because I'm scared of his face because his face is like a Villain in a hero movie
"Aren't you worried about yourselves?" Primo suddenly asked and when the guy who grabbed my chin look to where Primo is he got immediately got kick in the face
The two guys were alarmed and their attention is now at Primo's.
"Do you know who am at this school?" The big guy who is taller than Primo asked while cracking his knuckles and getting ready for a fight
"I don't give a shit who the hell are you, if you freaking touch my friend, You'll be sorry in no time. Come I'll beat the shit out of you Fatso." Primo calmly provoke him while stretching his neck and getting also ready for a fight
How does he look so calm?!
He isn't like this before
Primo, Just what the hell happened to you in the United States?!
