Charlus watched the Friends Reunion and went to sleep. He woke up the next day. He remembered that he had to meet up with Milo at the new gaming café. Charlus called up Milo.

“Hey Milo? The Gaming Café thing still on?”

“Yeah. When should I meet you there?”

“How about 11?”

“Sure!”

Charlus hung up and just wasted time till it was 10:30. Once it hit 10:30, Charlus got on his scooter and made way to the Café. He was interested in seeing what it offered. There weren’t a lot of new stuff at Lewisville.

Charlus got there at 10:50 and sat down at one of the tables in the café. The café was pretty spacious. It had a few tables in the front and a bunch of PCs in the back. The PCs were all visible to the people in the front and were looking very tempting.

Charlus didn’t care though. He didn’t like PC games. He only played cause he could play it with his friends. Friend. He sucked at PC games though and Milo always carried him through League of Legends.

Charlus saw Milo park his car in the front of the store from his window seat. Charlus waved to him and Milo saw that. Milo came near Charlus and sat beside him.

“What’s up? Anything interesting happened?”

Charlus laughed.

“You know me don’t you?”

“Anyway, I checked my Instagram this morning and saw someone in our school post something about this high schooler from our school who took on two gangs and beat down both of them. According to that the police took him into custody and released him because he was actually an undercover CIA agent.”

Charlus laughed.

“Wow. That’s believable.”

Charlus wanted to laugh out loud at his situation but people would probably send him to the mental hospital if he tried to explain it to them.

“So what are we playing today?”

“You pick this time. I always pick.”

“Fine. I’m just gonna let luck decide.”

Charlus asked the reception girl for a pen and wrote down all the games on a paper napkin. He tore each part and folded them. Then he shuffled them in his hand and threw them down onto the table.

Before picking up a chit, Charlus decided to put 5 APs into Luck. Cause why not? He was going to do it anyways. From what he saw he could only put 5 each 10 levels.

Charlus picked up a chit.

<COD>

Charlus looked at Milo.

“You know how to play this one?”

“Well, I prefer Fortnite but this should be like a less complicated version for less skilled players. I should do fine.”

Well, who’s the gamer now? Charlus felt that Milo would be a better fit for whatever he was going through.

Charlus and Milo found two PCs beside each other. Both of them sat down and started playing a few Duo Battle Royales.

“Damn man! Your luck is pretty good. You don’t actually suck at this game.”

“I don’t suck at any game.” Charlus retorted.

“You should see yourself play League of Legends. I felt ashamed to be your friend in the game. I mean, I have like I have a bunch of Diamond and Master friends. I know this Grand Master too. And then there was you. You’re in Iron.”

Charlus swatted an imaginary fly.

“I’m just making sure your friends list has some diversity.”

Charlus felt hungry after 6 games. He looked at the time.

“Damn! It’s already 2! What should we eat?”

“You said Irda’s is good?”

“Yeah!”

Charlus and Milo paid their tab and left the shop to go to Irda’s Burger joint which was two stores away. They opened the store and were greeted by an empty and bashed up store. They saw Irda sitting at his usual place in the counter but without any of his usual happiness.

“What happened here? Someone trashed this whole place.”

Milo was taken aback by the state of the whole store.

Irda looked up.

“Charlus? What are you doing here?”

“We came to get a bite. But what happened here?”

“You’re just a kid Charlus. You should enjoy life while you can. Life can be a real bitch when you’re an adult.”

Suddenly, a group of men barged into the restaurant.

“Yo man! Where’s the money at?!”
