When a Noob falls...

Chap 3-Just noobing around

"I'm sorry, but my mum needs me for a kitchen emergency at home right now" Tyler said looking at his phone.

"Yeah, and I promised my dad I'd help him with something later today" The Roach said getting up the table.

"Let me guess? You have an urgent video game tournament you need to attend to, Kevin?" Shope said sighing sadly.

"Actually, no...I'm free. I can help" He said shrugging.

"Wow,.. that's got to be the nicest thing you've said to me all day. But thanks Kevin, really, I owe you one" She said smiling.

"Sure, that's what friends are for, right?"He said smiling back. Although it could be more than that....-Woah! Where did that come from? The black haired boy wondered. What is wrong with me these days?....Nah, maybe I just ate too much or something. It's not normal for him to have such malicious thoughts.

Tyler and Roach left, and Shope and Kevin started walking back to the galacticus with just some small talk on the way. Mem and Zen reminded Shope and Kevin to never leave their stuff there. Zen said he'd start throwing stuff away if it got worse. And the two noobs listened to the warning and scurried their way to the bus stop to catch a the bus cause it was getting kinda late to just walk home..

In the bus Kevin told Shope she wouldn't have such problems if she played more video games. And Shope told him he'd get better grades if he spent more time reading books, even just story ones. And to summarize the argument, let's just say everyone agreed that they were better in their department, and the other couldn't top them and both were satisfied.

They arrived at their stop, by Shope's place, and Kevin carried the extra books until they reached her doorstep just in time for dinner.

"Thanks again for helping out, Kevin. I would never made home in time without you" Shope said getting the remaining books from him.

"Hey, I know how feisty your parents can get when your late for dinner" He said passing them to her.

"I feel like you want something from me to pay you back for this though..." She said quizzically.

"Oh, not really....Unless you have a problem with doing my math homework tommorrow" He said looking at her with a crafty expression.

"Fines, it's a deal" She said rolling her eyes and he smirked.

"It's been a pleasure, Jennifer" He said to her.

"Aww come on Kevin! You know how wierd I feel being called that by you guys, especially you.." She said eyerolling again. She had gotten so used to her friends and Kevin(since he oddly says her name a lot) calling her by her surname. Only her parents or teachers called her that!

"Precisely why I said it Jenny.." He said folding his arms while smirking.

She was not entertaining this.

"You continue like that, and I'll dump all these books on your head" She said threateningly.

"Well, I guess I'll be going then, don't want you to be late....and since I love my precious head..." He said backing away while touching his head.

"Mhm, you really should.... Bye Kevin" She said turning arounding and opening the door.

"Yeah bye......See ya.....-" He said backing away faster ".....dear sweet Jenny!!!" And that's when he made a break for it.

"KEVIN!!???" She yelped, but the black haired boy was out of sight.

*********************************

The school year was moving smoothly.

The noobs were balancing their school life with super hero life. They were getting less noob-y at the hero thing and were actually becoming pros at stopping the virus.

Shope and Nick where getting along and started get to know eachother more. Nick may have not been an exceptional student like Shope but he was doing well and also shared the interest of reading books sometimes like her. He was also funny and really fun to be around. Ah, yes....It was a budding friendship.....

Classes were over again and Shope was in a deep conversation with Nick about how awesome at football he was becoming.

"-No seriously dude, you have got to apply for a scholarship someday! Even Jock has respect for you!" She honestly.

"No, I don't know if I'm THAT good, to think of doing that..." He said rubbing his neck nervously.

"Ofcourse you are! If I say so myself, I've seen you play before, and I don't even need to know much about the sport to know you're good!" She said so giddily.

"Thanks Shope, that means so much coming from you" He said blushing in embarrassment.

"Well you needed to know, It's you're talent. Your a natural!" She said punching his left arm. And they both laughed happily as they sat on one of the benches outside the school.

Their was a gentle breeze and Shope removed her glasses to clean some dust she noticed on them. And the wind seemed to pick up some of the strands of her hair and they moved elegantly with the wind. Not to mention Nick hadn't seen Shope without her glasses before...

"Woah.....Shope,...you should remove your glasses more cause you look..-" He started.

"-SHOPE!" The two young teens turned their heads in the direction of the voice, and Shope put back on her glasses.

"We have Uh-Tenis! Practice remember?!" The Roach said from a far. The Tenis excuse became a common excuse over the school year.

"Oh yeah right!" Shope said looking at the time on her phone.

"Hey, I've never seen you play Tenis at all?" Nick asked.

"Oh...that's because our team hasn't played a real game yet, we're still learning the sport. Gotta go!" She said getting up.

"Well, can I at least come with you?.." He said curiously.

"NOOO! I mean-Not yet! Our team's still pretty shy. So I guess I'll see ya!" She said waving goodbye before rushing to Roach.

"Yeah, See ya..." He said waving unenthusiasticly(that's a long word)

Dear journal,

I made it through yet another day. I'm getting really comfortable at this place and my football game has never been better!

And I've started to know Shope better and she's even more amazing than I thought! She's great with school work and also fun to talk to . She has quite the personality but isn't so pretty when she get's mad!(which I see most of the time when she's mad at Kevin )

But who am I kidding, she's pretty all the time.....and the more I spend time with her, the more I realize something I was in denial with at first. But now I can't deny that I like this girl-But I'm afraid of telling her somehow because I don't want to mess up our friendship....but I'll figure out a way to do it . And she's always going for tenis training practices-But I feel like she's hiding something?Maybe it's just my curiosity. I should sleep now journal. See you later!

And that's done....this is going to be smooth. If you liked this one, then I have a feeling you'll like the next😂

And don't just read things without reacting? Comment and Vote! And I'll catch you later💞
