Day: Monday
Date: September 15, 2059
I was getting ready for classes today and decided to check my progress in Dream World. I checked the jobs and noticed I only had one job available which was Fast Food. I decided to put my avatar on the job then looked at the pay rate. It started with $20 per 30 seconds. All I had to do was wait and get through with the day.
I left my house and drove to the campus. I made it to my college then parked my car and noticed commotion going on in the courtyard. I got out of my car and walked to the courtyard.
"Fuck you Sean! Fuck YOU!" Jocelyn yelled and had Lexie trying to pull her back like she was pulling a hellhound who had gone wild on its target.
"What did I do?" Sean asked.
"What did you do?! Are you that fucking STUPID?! You cheated on me with Bethany! That fucking whore! Lexie caught you in the act!" Jocelyn yelled.
"Alright listen Jocelyn Flores. Your dumbass thought I actually loved you? I literally did what I did so I could get away from you. All you did was use me, you stupid gold digger, weedhead. Bethany actually has more to offer than just her body." Sean said.
Jocelyn stopped trying to fight Sean and watched him walk off. I watched Sean walk off as well and the crowd around who was recording was left speechless as well.
I walked towards Jocelyn and Lexie.
[Jocelyn's Mood: Livid]
[Lexie's Mood: Tense]
I had to be careful with what I say because one wrong word will either cause me to get yelled at or getting slapped in the face by Jocelyn.
"Jocelyn." I started, thinking hard about what to say.
Jocelyn looked at me. She was already pissed off and the mood meter over her head that I only could see was in the dark red. "What the fuck do you want?"
I looked at her then placed my hands in my hoodie pockets. "Nothing. I don't want to piss you off even more than you are now." I said as I chickened out, but for good reason. She's a ticking time bomb right now.
I walked off and a holographic screen popped up in front of me.
[Mission: Don't be a pussy.]
"Ugh.." I said then stopped walking. I turned back around and walked towards Jocelyn and Lexie, noticing they were sitting at a table in the courtyard.
[Chances of getting Jocelyn: 12%]
[Chances of getting Lexie: 29%]
[Jocelyn Mission: Cheer her up.
Reward: Jocelyn Chances UP!]
I noticed them looking at me as I walked over to them. I sat with them and exhaled softly.
[Jocelyn's Mood: Frustrated]
[Lexie's Mood: Uneasy]
"Hey. We can all skip classes and hang out in the music studio." I said.
"I don't know. I'm still just...shocked that he would-"
"Why? You know he's a dickhead. He doesn't care about anyone but himself. You know this." I said.
"I know! I know...It just hurts when you commit yourself to someone and give them exactly what they asked for and they just...throw you aside like you're nothing." Jocelyn said.
[Jocelyn's Mood: Down]
[Lexie's Mood: Worried]
Her energy lowered by a lot from Anger to Sadness. I knew I had to think of something to say to cheer her up. Lexie's Mood right now depends all on Jocelyn's Mood.
'Tell a joke..' I thought to myself.
"What do you call a guy who lost his car?" I asked.
Jocelyn and Lexie looked at each other then looked at me. They blinked and Jocelyn scratched her head.
"What?" She asked.
"Carlos." I said.
'Oh my god that was so lame.' I thought to myself.
Jocelyn snickered and lowered her head. "God that was so bad, I almost got up and slapped you.." She said, holding back her laughter.
[Jocelyn's Mood: Mellow]
"Sorry I'm just not good at telling jokes. My sister is pretty easy to please when it comes to jokes so I just tell the ones I know she'll laugh at." I shrugged and smiled.
"How old is your sister?" Jocelyn asked.
"Sixteen." I answered.
"Ahh." Jocelyn smiled then smiled. She sighed softly and looked around. "Sorry you had to see that side of me. I'm rarely angry like that unless you really piss me off."
"Nah, it's cool. I understand why you blew up on him but he just didn't seem to care but hey at least you're single now, you're free from that scumbag." I said then pat the table a few times. "So how about skipping these classes?"
Jocelyn smiled and closed her eyes. "Alright, alright...You cheered me up so I'll gladly skip classes with you. You coming Lexie?"
"I don't see why not. One missed day isn't gonna hurt anyone." Lexie smiled.
[Jocelyn Mission: Cheer her up! (Complete)]
[Chances of getting Jocelyn: 30%]
The bell rang and we got up to head straight to the music studio and chilled there. No one ever used the studio except for Lexie since she is a musician and frequently makes music.
"While we are here, we can work on my new song. If you have any suggestions, feel free to tell me." Lexie smiled and grabbed a pair of headphones.
"Alright, I doubt anything needs to be fixed or suggestions." I smiled and put on my headphones.
She nodded then I played the music for her so she could record her vocals and lyrics. Jocelyn was on her phone and listened like normal. The song Lexie recorded was called Feeling Numb. She wrote this song to tell a story on how she felt inside. Her lyrics hint at what happens with her outside of college and when she's alone.
She groaned and stopped singing. "I lost the flow!"
"It's alright, we can do another take. You were doing really good." I said and prepared another take.
"Hey, do you think the lyrics sound too dark or edgy?" Lexie asked.
"I mean your song is literally called Feeling Numb. It's not a normal song that should sound all happy and chipper." I said.
"I know but I'm just worried that no one is gonna like it." Lexie said.
I looked at her as she stared at her lyrics. I smiled and sat back in my chair. I looked at the computer screen. "I like it."
"Of course you'd say that, dork." Lexie chuckled softly.
"Come on, I really do like it. I helped you make it, why wouldn't I like it. Your song is unique and doesn't sound like all the other alternative rock songs out there. This one is more...personal." I said and looked at Lexie.
Lexie looked at me and smiled. "I guess.." She said then looked at her lyrics again.
Jocelyn watched us and smiled a bit. "I like the song too. I'm not usually an alternative rock person or a metalhead, but I can get down with this. What's this song for anyway?"
"There's this huge music competition happening called Superstars of Tomorrow and I want to enter it. I want to make my talents more known. My dickhead dad doesn't believe in me. I want to prove him wrong. I have to. I need to." Lexie said.
"When is this competition?" I asked.
"In about...I don't know three weeks from now." Lexie said.
"Let's do this." I said then sat up in my chair. "I'll help you with the vocals and everything, Jocelyn can..."
"I can play the drums really good. My cousin is a professional drummer in a band." Jocelyn smiled.
"Alright and I can play the guitar with you if you need me to. We can have this song perfect within three weeks." I said.
"You'd really do that for me?" Lexie asked.
"Of course. We're friends right?" I smiled at her.
"We are friends." Lexie rolled her eyes, smiling.
[Lexie Mission: Help her win the Superstars of Tomorrow competition
Reward: Lexie Chances UP!]
We began to record more takes and recorded until it was time for us to go home. After getting our final take, we called it a day and left the music studio.
"I'll see you tomorrow here." Lexie said.
"Alright." I said then walked off. I walked down the hall and looked at my phone. I walked out the door and walked downstairs then felt Sean bump my shoulder again.
"Yo watch where you're going." Nathan said and pushed me.
I stumbled to the side and looked at Nathan. "I didn't even see you. I didn't know you were sucking Sean's dick that much. He's a man so he can defend himself."
"You wanna say that to my face?" Nathan asked.
"Listen here, asshole. I didn't come here to fight your dumbass. I'm just going to my car and leaving. You're really not like that." I said.
"Who's not like that?" Nathan asked. "I'm all about that shit and if you wanna test it then swing."
"Aye control your boyfriend Sean." I said as I pointed at Nathan.
"Oh you got jokes huh?" Nathan asked and pulled up his pants.
"Bruh, you are not hard like that. Pause! But you are not about that life and neither is Sean." I said. "Now I'm gonna go to my ride and bounce."
I walked off and shook my head, sighing.
[Duck.]
I noticed the pop up then ducked and avoided Nathan's haymaker. I turned around to look at Nathan.
[Left. Right. Duck. Uppercut.]
I blocked his left swing then his right, I ducked then hit him with an uppercut. The crowd noticed the fight and we're hyping up the fight. Nathan groaned and held his chin then walked backwards.
"Fuck..!" Nathan groaned.
"Damn I didn't know you could help me fight too." I said to myself.
[You are my owner so I have to keep you safe at all times.]
"Good shit." I said and watched Nathan.
Nathan looked at me then huffed and walked ahead. He threw a jab at me.
[Parry. Gut check.]
I parried his punch then punched his stomach. Nathan groaned and fell to his knees. I walked backwards and fixed my hair. "Damn that felt good."
[Achievement: Win your first fight!]
[Reward: Badass Trait Level: +1]
"Somebody ohhh, somebody help this man!" Someone in the crowd said. "He got laid out! You hate to see it!"
Sean looked at me then looked at Nathan. He walked over to Nathan then helped him up. "That's alright...we got him tomorrow."
Nathan nodded and they walked off inside of the building to go to their football practice.
I walked off and headed straight to my car, got in, and drove off. I went straight home and I got a text from Lexie. I read the text.
Lexie: Hey come over by my house tomorrow so we can continue our song okay?
I smiled and made a note on my phone to meet up with Lexie tomorrow.
