Unexpected Love

Chapter 1

There was one minute remaining in the match and we are losing. I'm not going to give up though and neither is my team. Despite being put into a random match with teammates I never met before, they all seem enthusiastic and so did the opposite team. It was just like any other turf war, except the opposite team was very skilled and high leveled. I'm the highest level in my team and I'm only level 34 while they had level 40's and 50's I believed. Still, I was determined to win.

I decided to sneak around the opposite team and started to cover the ink with my own. I was alone so it seems that nobody knows that I'm here...or at least I thought. I saw purple ink appearing, the opposite team's color. I quickly covered it and continue to keep my guard up. That's when all of a sudden, a purple boy inkling appeared. He was wearing a Annaki mask, a black inky rider jacket, and a pair of punk blacks. His hair was in a low ponytail with his bangs on the side and his eyes were piercing red and his skin was white as a cloud. He was using the dualie Squelchers.

We both started to shoot at each other. I thought I was able to kill him no problem considering I had a n-zap. But even with that, he was able to dodge my attacks perfectly. It came to the point where we both took massive damage. I quickly hide myself in my ink and so did he. Soon after however, he threw a point sensor that revealed my location and started to go after me. I couldn't keep a distance anymore nor could I run away. Instead, I went up closer to him and shoot him. I thought he had killed me due to the amount of purple ink I was covered in but it turns out that I've splatted him. I actually splatted him. And as soon as I did, time was up.

We ended up losing the battle, despite our efforts. It was a close match but I'm proud of myself. When I look at the opposite teams scores, I saw that the guy I splatted was actually level 28 and his name was Vincent. He was at the top of his team and I'm surprised he wasn't a higher level. I then collected my earnings and left the lobby. I decided that I had enough battling for one day and besides, I needed to scrub some gear.

Once I was done scrubbing my gear, I was heading to the Grizz's place to work for a bit. As I started to make my way there, something grabbed my wrist and I was pulled off into a secluded area. I tried to scream but my mouth was covered by a hand and whatever was pulling me had a strong grip so struggling away wasn't much of a point. I was then slammed and pinned against a wall and when I looked who was doing this too me, it was the same inkling that I splatted...Vincent.

"What on Earth are you doing!? Let me go!" I yelled at him. I was so not in the mood for whatever he is doing nor do I want to find out why he is doing this. He looked at me with his red piercing eyes before he started to speak.

"How did you manage to splat me?" Vincent said in a slightly angered tone. He was still pinning me against the wall with his hands against my wrists and it was starting to hurt.

"What do you mean?! Anyone can get a splat from anyone. It's not rocket science!" I told him. What is up with this dude? I know that most people get salty from getting splatted a lot, but this is ridiculous. Come to think of it, has he even got splatted at all?

"That's not the point! Nobody has never been able to splat me at all, only people who are above level 50. So you must've cheated!"

I genuinely can't believe this guy right now. Not only is he making a big deal out of this but he is assuming that I somehow cheated? It's pretty much very unlikely for someone to cheat and I don't even know the first step of cheating. "No! Why would I cheat?! It's pretty much impossible to cheat at this time! Just let me go. You're making a big deal out of this!" I continued to yell. He eventually let go of me and started to run away. I didn't even bother to get him back and apologize to what he did. It wasn't worth it and who knows what else he might do. I brushed myself off and decided to skip work at Grizzo and head home. I was too mad to do anything right now.

As soon as I got home, I immediately took off my hat and removed my shirt and skirt; revealing a black sports bra and tight black shorts. Then I went straight to bed. I was completely exhausted and worn out and it was pretty late. It wasn't long before I went into a deep sleep.
