CHAPTER 11: BACK TO THE WORLD OF GAMING

The music festival was really great and so was the music club but gaming is my true home. I had become really famous in the school due to the music festival. A lot of people had also befriended me and I was not complaining. I was now back to the gaming club and took off where I left. Learning how to tap. Some members of the club had learnt it and have become really good at it. I was trying to adjust my game sensitivity to be able to do it but still had some problems. I received a group invitation from the twin gamers Skyler and Scarlette. They were fighting over who was the better tapper between them and it was really hilarious to listen to them argue like babies. I begun to laugh before they stopped. They invited an old friend Naomi. A gamer girl from South Africa. She actually sounded like a Disney princess when she speaks. We played a 2V2 custom match. I teamed with Skyler while Scarlette teamed with Naomi. The twins wanted to show each other who is boss and the room match was set in a way that we could here our enemies when they speak. When the match begun, Skyler said in a teasing tone “sisy I’m coming for you.” I began to laugh and Naomi and I decided to observe them. Skyler’s tapping skills was great but Scarlette was not a force to be messed with either. They fought till the entire safe zone collapsed and they were still fighting. Eventually Skyler was eliminated by the safe zone making Scarlette the winner. That was one of the most hardcore matches I’ve ever seen in my gaming career. “Your friends are crazy.” Crystal who was sitting next to me said in a low voice. I laughed and asked her how long she has been there. “Long enough to hear sisy I’m coming for you.” I could not hold back my laughter after she said that and neither could she. The members of the club that were close to us wondered why we were laughing like that but did not ask anything. I guess because most of them were shy of Crystal. I continued to adjust my sensitivity till I had the best sensitivity for my device. Finally, I could tap other players in the game. Club activities were now over and I returned to class. Clara had her head on the table when we entered but raised her head due to a call from Crystal. I was already seated in my desk and was taking some notes out of my bag. Clara stood from her seat and walked up to Crystal. She gave her a little notebook and then walked back to her seat. Chemistry lesson was next and we were to go to the laboratory. I put on my lab coat and off I went. Clara following closely behind me tucked my coat. I turned to see her looking shy as usual then she asked if ill teach her how to game. I wondered where this was coming from and asked her the first tangible question that came to mind and it was why me. She could ask Crystal to teach her but why did she have to ask me. “I asked her to teach me and she tried but she is a terrible teacher when it comes to games.” Well, she was definitely not lying if she says that because Crystal was honestly not the best at teaching. I agreed to teach her and she smiled. Still holding my coat, we walked to the laboratory and she stood next to me as my lab partner. Normally, shell stick with her sister but decided to stick with me this time. Chemistry was actually one of my favorite subjects and also one of my most well performed areas. We began our experiment and everything was going smoothly till I made a mistake. The test tube in which our solution was exploded and I pulled Clara back shielding her with my body. I had a piece if glass in my shoulder when it was over and I pulled it out. We were just lucky to have realized the misbehavior of our solution earlier before it exploded. Luckily, Clara did not get hurt but I was pierced by a glass in my shoulder. I went to the infirmary and got patched up by the nurse. The twins came there after the laboratory section. I was still in the infirmary because they had to check if I had any poisonous chemicals in my body due to the description of the accident. Crystal left early because all the leaders of the various gaming clubs were called for a meeting. I used this opportunity to ask Clara a question I’ve always wanted to ask and that was how and why does her eyes change color. She agreed to tell me but in return, she asked me to tell her everything about myself because I was too mysterious to her.
