Amber unlocked the door with the spare key she had in her pocket, she entered and shut the door softly before putting her shoes away neatly, "I'm home!!." She yelled out not expecting to hear a response back.
"Hey honey how was your day?" Her mom, Aria Johnson, asked as she sat on the sofa in the study room criss cross. She set her reading glasses down as Amber walked in.
She went to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "It was the same old normal." Aria just hummed and went back to reading when Amber made her way towards the door.
Her dad had died in a car accident when he was 3 years old, I wouldn't say Amber was sad, but she wasn't happy either. Amber had gotten to a door that read out in big print 'Amber's room, knock before entery' on a small white board.
She entered the seemingly tidy room and went towards the connected bathroom. Sh washed her hands and dried them off before going to on a chair Infront of a desk with a computer right Infront of her.She logged in and went straight to Google.
She typed in 'EGO the game' and clicked search.
A lot of results came up, like links on how to beat the game, sites to purchase the game, maps with a location of game stores near her were she could purchase it and videos of people reacting to the gameplay.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
She did a little more digging before shutting it off to focus on the homework she had to do.
A few minutes in and before she could even put on the finishing touches the door swung open with force and hit the wall right behind it.
"Yo, Ambs, Wassup!!" Her dumb, loud and crack head of a friend, Logan along with his smirking girlfriend, Anais entered.
Amber sighed and run her hand across her face with tired eyes. she shut her book and put away the book neatly before turning towards the boy and girl
"What now?"
She noticed a big box, wrapped in brown paper in Logan's hands as he spoke. "Weeeeellll, we just wanted to see you, can't a friend see another friend?" Logan asked with puppy eyes.
Amber scowled and said, "You only come here when you want something or you want me to do some dumb shit." Amber said as she folded her arms and looked at them with suspicion.
Anais held up her hands in defence, "Okay you caught us, we just wanted to give you something." She nudged Logan to give what he was holding to Amber.
He placed the wrapped box near Amber's feet and backed away. Amber grabbed the box, she looked back at them with question evident in her eyes.
Anything could be in that box, a mouse trap, black mail, maybe even nothing.
"STOP BEING SO SKEPTICAL AND OPEN THAT SHIT!!!" Anais yelled at Amber to hurry the truck up.
Amber without question tore the wrapping paper and set it aside only to be met with the same face that had everyone awestruck.
Levi fucking Anderson.
She groaned loudly and pouted as she looked at the very box she swore not to touch. She opened the said box and in it was a guide, the game disk, a complementary stuffed toy of Levi and more merch.
Before she could even ask why they gave it to him, Logan interrupted, "Just take it man, we already payed for it. Plus it would be a waste of money if we took it back."
Great now she couldn't refuse if they spent their money on it just for her, "It's time you live a little." Anais said, and with that they left without hearing any nagging from Amber.
"We didn't pay for it, your brother gave it to you." Anais said with confusion after they bid farewell to Amber's mom.
Logan smirked, "I know, but I had to get him to accept it one way or another." Anais just stared at him like he grew two heads, "You're a fucking genius."
Anais leaned in and kissed his cheek, "I know." Logan said with pride.
While Anais was praising Logan for his genius plan, Amber was contemplating on something.
Whether she should play the game, or sell it and make a quick buck....
But since her friends spent so much money on it she didn't have the heart to do the other, so she did the unthinkable.
She played the game.
