That One Night

A Normal Night

It was a cold winter evening, one like never before..

"That's another one!"

"You fucking cheated that's not fair!"

"Ey, a game is a game. You just happen to suck at the game."

"..Alright bitch. This is war."

"You're on."

It was a normal evening with some of my friend group from highschool, all huddled around the warm fireplace while playing Mario Kart 8 on Zeix's flatscreen TV in his living room. One of our other closest friends Geo would've been there, but he wasn't able to make it that night. So, it was only us 4. As we were all in our first year of college, Zeix was pretty much above us all financially wise. He owned his own mansion-like house, and the type of shit you'd see in a rich white person's house. I gotta admit, I was jealous at the time..though he did invest all that money from his parents who passed it down to him like it was nothing.

I was playing against Zeix and Katsura in Mario Kart while my girlfriend Midnight chose to stay out of it and play roblox on her laptop. Katsura mainly stayed in second place while I came in first every round of the game. Zeix didn't really have the right 'practice' for the game, as he constantly came in the losing places.

"DAMN I was almost there!" Katsura shouted as she almost surpassed me at the last second.

"You. Can't. Beat. The King." I stated proudly.

Kat growled and gave me a slight death stare.

"Bebe calm down- Just a game ok?" Zeix added.

"Shut up you suck at this shit."

"..I promise you next round I'll make sure to dust your ass."

"..While you two fuckheads argue I'm gonna go check on Middy.."

"YOU'RE A FUCKHEAD!" Both Katsura and Zeix shouted in sync.
We all laughed at each other's stupidity as I rolled my eyes and began crawling on the floor over to Midnight.
She had both her headphones in, and I could hear her blasting one of her favorite artists, Melanie Martinez.
When she saw me approaching, she took one of her headphones out of her right ear and moved her long, soft purple hair out of her face. She smiled at me, automatically making my face muscles smile back. Her smile, her personality..her style...It was all an addiction that I just couldn't get enough of..

"Hi there."

"Hey, you okay over here by yourself?"

"Well, my ass hurts so..that's that."

"That's because your dumbass is sitting on a brick surface. Why not come join us on the couch?"

"First of all, fuck you. Secondly, it's warmer over here.."

I sighed and turned to Zeix who was now kissing and sucking on Katsura's neck, no longer playing the game in front of them.

"..Yo Zeix..."

No answer.

"ZEIX!"

"NIGGA WHAT?!"

"STOP TONGUING DOWN MY SISTER AND GO TURN ON THE HEAT PLEASE!"

"Oh shut up, don't act like you don't do that to Midnight too." Katsura added, sitting up on the couch and fixing her clothes.

"Um, she's my girlfriend? I have a right, missy."

"Right, and Zeix is my boyfriend, meaning we also have a right, fuckface."

I gave her a stern yet joking look, before turning my attention back to Zeix.

"Midnight is kind of cold..can you turn up the heat a bit?"

"The fire isn't enough?"

"Apparently not for her while on the couch. That's why she's all the way over here and being anti-social." I looked back at her with an unamused face. She flipped me off and began to get up off of the floor, leaving her computer on the charger.

"Fine..but I'm not anti-social."

"Then stop acting like it and get your ass over here! I wanna beat you in a race." Kat said rather excitedly while picking up her game controller.

"Bish..you're on.."

While Zeix went to turn on the heat, the girls started their own game. I sat in between them having Midnight on my left, and Kat on my right. Watching the big TV screen in front of me and listening to two of my favorite girls yell at each other, Zeix called out to me.

"Yo Violet, want any snacks in there?"

"Yeah, your mom."

"..So you have chosen death I see."

I snickered and turned to him behind the couch.

"Got any hot chocolate?"

"I do indeed, sir. Be right back."

"Bebeeee!! Can you get me some Doritos pwease.." Kat yelled after him while in her race battle against Midnight. 

"Sure thing."

"Tanksss!"
