Have we met before?

Chapter 2

~~~~~~~~

Stretching for how many times now, I checked my phone to see if there's any message completely ignoring the time when I saw 20 missed calls from Vivian. Well sht.

Surprised to see her name popped up my screen, I answered.

"Hello?" I casually said.

"What the actual fvk Knox?"

Woah. Someone's not having a good day today. I cleared my throat.

"Vivian? Why are you calling me so late? And why do you sound mad?"

I heard shuffling in the background.

"What do you mean late?! Are you playing again all night? Fck sake! It's already 10 am Knox! We planned on going out today! Remember? Did you even sleep?", She said in a higher voice.

Wait.. what?

I completely zoned out, ignoring Vivian's rants about me being irresponsible.

I slowly opened the blinds on my room and was greeted by Jesus itself welcoming me into the afterlife.

I wished. Kidding.

I quickly closed it and turned to my computer to save the game I was playing. "Sht sorry Viv. I'm getting ready now. Where are you?" I head to the bathroom.

"I'm almost at your place. You better get your big ass ready. Well only if you have some."

Before I can answer her back, she laughed loudly and immediately ended the call.

~~~~~~~~

I didn't really want to go out today.. but Vivian insisted to let me socialise on the outside world. I can't really say anything back, she was right. I.. want to find someone too. Life's been boring nowadays. I mean I have my computer at home but you know, someone that cares and would buy me more games. I dozed off.

" Are you listening to me Knox?" Vivian grabbed my arm to face her.

We've been walking for hours just doing window shopping not actually buying stuff and I'm so tired already. Yeah yeah its my fault. But come on!

I looked at her with a blank face.

" Damn. You look high with those red eyes." She sighed while dragging me to the nearest cafe shop. When we found a place to sit, we ordered 2 cappuccinos that arrived no less than 5 minutes.

"Ugh Viv, I feel so sht. I wanna sleep!" Trying to open my eyes while drinking our cappuccino.

"Not my fault you didn't sleep and even forgot that we're going out today." She said while sipping her own cappuccino, feeling satisfied.

"I can't help it," I mutter only for me to hear.

She cocked a fresh painted eyebrow and shrugged. Thank god she's not a btch anymore.

I hate this side of myself. I would just play games the whole night till morning without taking a break or anything. Well time flies before you know it. I've played different games my whole life. It helps me relax when I have a problem. I don't need to look good for someone and honestly, it doesn't require too much energy that would probably urge to embarrass myself further.
