The day has finally come, once a hobby now has become a big thing in my life. What is this feeling in my heart? The feeling of being noticed, to be seen instead of to see, people actually know me for what I do. Video gaming has changed my life, it reset my life and I can now live as a new identity, a girl that by chance is good at video games, not a useless girl who is colour blind.
I arrived at the arena, I was amazed by the different various types of promotions of the video games, it was like.. heaven, the only thing that makes me happy. I was immersed in the stores and I was interrupted by a man with a pristine suit, he looked proper, not someone I would expect in this kind of event, he wore these bulky black glasses, I wasn't sure about his choice of style.
'Hi, I'm David Spectar, I'm one of the organisers of today's event. Are you Emily Clarke? One of our guests to compete in the gaming battle onstage today? It's a pleasure to meet you, if you follow me Miss. Clarke.'
So I did, I walked down the long alley down to the middle of arena, and a lot of people were looking at me, I felt self-conscious, this has never happened in my life and a few moments I will be playing video games in front of a big crowd, I don't know how I'm going to cope.
I was sent to wait backstage alongside with my 'opponents', I realised that I was the only female amongst the group, it felt strange. I sat quietly at the corner, observing the other people in the room, they were all very anti-social, but I guest I'm anti-social as well, they all had their gadgets, holding their PS3s, they all looked really professional.
In the midst of these thoughts, someone poked my back, I turned around and saw.. a coloured boy, he had black nike shoes, blue jeans and a grey t-shirt, all these colours evaded my mind, he must be one of my stimulants to improve my vision, I was loss for words, I looked at him with wide eyes, he had a well-structured face, beautiful cheekbones, dreamy blue eyes and brown hair, his eyes squinted when he smiled, he had this charismatic look, like a charm.
'Hey, I'm Aaron, so you're the legendary player that made it up the leader board within a month, how did you do it? I can't believe it, it took me at least half a year to accomplish that. What's your name?'
My heart fluttered, what is this feeling? I don't understand, why is my heart beating so fast? A heat flushed to my cheeks, I didn't know what to say, but these words came out of my mouth
'I'm Emily Clarke, and... it's none of your business.'
WHY DID I SAY SUCH THING! Is my body resisting to him? Why am I acting so cold all of the sudden? I haven't talked to a boy since.. Forever. I saw his smile fade, I saw his dreamy blue eyes lose its sparkle, I felt terrible and at that exact moment, I was called on stage, I looked back and saw him waiting to go on stage, he waved at me and mouthed the words Good Luck, I didn't know what to do, so I idiotically ignored him, well done Emily.
Maybe this wasn't meant to be, maybe I'm acting like this because I shouldn't be attracted to him, I don't want him to know about my insecurity, I'm a hot mess and I don't want him to be dragged into this. However, what is this bad feeling I'm experiencing? Somehow, my gut tells me something is going to happen.
Ignoring all my thoughts, I walked on stage faced by the cheer of a thousand people.
Aaron's POV
Video gaming is a small part of my life, I like to hang out with my friends at school, I get the occasional love letter and gifts from a lot of 'fangirls', I enjoy attention, it makes me more occupied. Recently, one of my best friends proposed her love to me and I rejected her. I'm not interested in relationships, I'm waiting for the right girl for me, like the girl I met in prep school, I still couldn't forget her, I don't know why she never came back to school after she was hospitalised, I missed her.
I was invited to become on of the competitors in the battle in the Annual Video Gaming Festivals. When I walked in the backstage, I saw this girl with long silky brown hair, she wore ordinary dull clothes, but there was a sense of secrecy that compelled me to her, like a sense of connection, I couldn't resist her. I figured she was the famous gamer that was mentioned in all the inner gossips in the gaming world, people describe her as cool and beautiful with style, I was obliged to see her face. I poked her shoulder and she turned around and I saw the most beautiful girl I've ever encountered, she had this kind of sad face, like she has this insecurity inside her that she doesn't anyone to know, her big blue eyes pleaded with hope and potential, her lips were rouged and looked like they haven't smiled for a long time. Despite all the depressing features that I could sense, her face was telling a story, it intrigued me, how come such a beautiful person could have a hard life? I wanted to know her.
Then it hit me, she resembled to the girl I met in prep school, Emily
