New year, a new term

Today is the first day of school after a long summer, I wasn’t really expecting much
happening this year. This year would be exactly like the other years.
First we got our assigned seats, I’m seated next to an Indian guy. He seems to be an
extrovert as he said, “Sup my friend! I’m Jamal!” I replied with the powerful comeback of
quietly, “hah yeah.” And I just left it there, the comeback was so powerful the Indian dude
didn’t talk to me for the rest of the day.
It took quite a while before the teacher came to our class, while we wait for the teacher I
checked my phone to ignore the awkward silence with Jamal and to check if there’s anything
interesting.
*The new R-Type game is out!*
HOLY FUCKING SHIT IM BUYING THIS GAME.

The first school days is over, I walked back home excited to play the game. I opened my pc
and immediately booted up the game,
“Ayo, Herry! Bring me a cup of water!” My brother Jerry yelled at me from his room across
the hallway, he had to ask me since both of our parents are not at home, I simply ignored
him like always. I can’t focus on anything else when I’m playing the new R-Type. Man this
game is so fucking good yet no one plays it anymore, I’m super glad that someone is still
playing it somewhere around the earth. Without them this game would probably never get a
sequel.
I kept on playing the game and ignoring my brother.

*Two months later*

I spent the last two months just grinding on R-Type, I could say that I’m probably one of the
best players out there, sitting on top 200 on the global leader board. As I was thinking about
how to improve myself in the game, our teacher came to the class and announced we have
three new students.
First we got a guy, he’s Asian and he’s probably Chinese. However unlike the usual Asian
he seems pretty confident and proud.
Second we got a typical white guy with glasses.
The first two new students seems to be excited about the new school year, but they don’t
seem to interest me at all. They’re probably just going to be a popular kid that I’ll never talk
to.
Lastly we got a girl named Alice who moved here to Canada from America, she doesn’t look
that interesting however I need to know everything about her because, SHE HAS R-TYPE T-
SHIRT!
‘Shit I need to talk to her about this game.’ I said to myself.
After everything was settled down, our teacher told us to choose a group for our lab reports.
Usually during the choosing team part I just sit in place until there’s a group with not enough
people, and I’ll join that group. However this time I have to get up and walk towards the girl
named Alice and ask her if she wants to group up, she’s new here so she definitely need
someone to help.
“Sorry we all maxed out.” Said Alice while she’s talking to three other girls. I just stood there
and froze. As I noticed what I just said to them, “hey work together! We make a great team!”
I was thinking about what I did wrong.
While I was thinking a hand touched my shoulders, it was the other two new students I forgot
the name of, the glasses kid said, “sup dude wanna work together?”
“Sure” I replied automatically.

The group was atrocious, the Asian kid was just talking to the glasses kid while the glasses
kid was doing all the work. I was just looking at the new R-Type gameplay.
Mid class the Asian guy decided to ask what I was looking at, and as he saw my phone he
said, “Wait! Isn’t this the new game I bought for you!?” He nudged the glasses kid and the
glasses kid seemed surprised, “Holy fuck it’s this shitty ass game you bought me the other
day!” The glasses kid yelled, “fucking bought this game just to make me suffer, for fuck sake
why is does this game exist, it’s impossible to beat, the people in the that’s playing it must
spent hours on this.” The Asian kid laughed his ass out, and I was stunned that someone
even knows this game. “How did you know this game?” I asked just to understand how
normies know this game.
“Oh I just searched the hardest games that’s not dark souls and I got it,” said the Asian kid,
“so I gave it to my friend James, to see him rage.”
“Wait are you good at this game?” Said the glasses kid who called James.
“Yeah I am.”
“Fuck alright teach me this game, I can’t fucking lose to a dumb ass game.”

We spent the rest of the class talking about how to play this game, it appears that the Asian
kid is called Jeremy and the glasses kid called James are already friends before coming to
this school.
We talked about this game till lunch, and holy fuck it’s so fun talking about this game.

“Hey wanna eat lunch together?” I asked the two new students.
“Fuck yeah sure!” Said the Jeremy, “but first let me get my lunch from the vending machine.”
As he scan his debit card on the machine. Our school doesn’t have cafeteria but we offer
cup noodles and soda in the vending machines.
As I was talking to James I heard a sudden loud noise, it was Jeremy kicking the machine.
“Shit the cup noodle is stuck in the machine!” Yelled Jeremy as he kick and punch the
machine, “fuck!!! guys help me get the noodles!!!” As James rush for help to wobble the
machine. “Herry come on and help us!” As I heard this I ran and punch the machine as hard
as possible!

*in the hospital*

“So you got a broken middle finger and ring finger.” Said the doctor while chewing bubble
gum.
“How could a punch destroy his bones?” Asked James.
“Lack of sunlight, and basically anything healthy, so just eat healthy, and eat your
medicines.” The doctor gave me some pills that doesn’t even have labels on it.
“Both are in the morning, and after dinner, take three pill every day. And the pills would cost
you five hundred dollars.”
“What are the pills for.” I asked
“One of the pills is calcium, the other is ‘feel good’ pill, just the pill to make you feel better.”
Doctor said while chowing his gum. And left the room.
“The hell?” I questioned.
Then the doctor came back and said, “by the way, it’ll probably be difficult to do homework
with your non dominant hand so, I suggest you to just give up, and also don’t use your hand
for the next few months. So no video games, and the school principal is looking for you.”
We went to the school principals office and get yelled at because we broke the vending
machines, and our teacher told me I still need to do my homework, they’ll just extend the due
date.
“God damn it! Why we got in trouble.” I said.
“Well sorry it’s my fault.” Replied Jaramy, “I'll pay you off for dinner.”
We went to the sushi restaurant next to the school that I never knew existed. It’s actually
really good.

I got a week off from my broken arm. For that week I did absolutely nothing, since I can’t
play any games. However, I know the fact that my brother got a girlfriend from discord. And
he’s meeting her for the first time next week Sunday, so I need to go somewhere that day, I
have no idea where to go.

When I’m back at school I saw Jeremy and James talking to Jamal at school. “Ayo, Herry,
how’s your arm?” Shouted Jaramy.
“Not getting better,” I replied.
“Shit fuck alright, sorry about that,” said James, “we were planning to ask for your address to
check you out, however we don’t have your contact, so we gotta ask Jamal since he sit next
to you”
“Damn I see, what are you guys doing?”
“Oh Jamal is teaching us Hindi.”
“The fuck?”
“You wanna try?” Jamal asked me.
“Sure I guess”
“Alright nice, say: Du papa de sa soniga Du pan joingga”
“Du papa de sa soniga Du pan joingga?” I replied.
“Holy shit you’re talented!” Said Jamal, “it took Jaramy years to get this.”
“Oh really?” I replied while smirking at Jaramy.
“Bro you gotta check his Hindi, it’s amazing,” Jamal said to his other Indian friend.
I repeat the thing Jamal taught me, his friend replied back with a awkward smile.
“What does that mean?” I asked.
“It means ‘I slept with your father.”
“I should‘ve predicted that.”
We spent some time during lunch time, it was really fun just learning other languages and
pronouncing terrible. Meanwhile in lunch Jamal told us there’s a party this Sunday, I guess I
should just join it since James and Jaramy are joining, also my brother is meeting his discord
girlfriend at home at that day. I need to go there, I got nothing else I could do.

The party was really really fun, mostly just because of the free pizza and me, Jamal, Jaramy
and James could talk how corrupt our school are with me still needing to do my homework
with broken hand, and how our principal care more about bending machines then their
students.
As time is getting late James Jamal and Jaramy all left the party, I stayed behind for more
pizza. As non of my friends are in the party I grabbed the pizza and went to the quite side of
the party, I might just eat my pizza and leave.

In the quiet side of the party I saw the Alice, the girl with r-type clothes just chilling alone.
“Hey,” I asked, “how’s the party for you?”
“Ah not that bad,” she replied, “all my friends left”
“Huh, so you’re still here to get new friends?”
“Nah, just waiting for my uber. So why you’re here in this quiet place?”
“Ah no I’m just here to finish my pizza before I leave,” I showed her the pizza and placed the
pizza on the floor, “my friend all left.”
“So same as me, also what’s wrong with your hand.”
“Well long story short, but my hands broken and I have to eat my pills later.”
“Oof, that’s gotta be hard, at least you don’t have to check your arm in America. Medical
there is corrupt as fuck.”
“Nah Canada medical is fucked up too,” I showed her the ‘feel good pill’, “the doctor straight
up told me that this pill his no use other then make me feel good. And I have to pay for this.”
“Kidding?”
“No kidding”
“Shit”
“How did you got into this party?” I asked
“Oh, just my friends invited my to this party.”
“Must be a really nice friend, you’re pretty new and still made some really good friends
right?”
“Well not the ‘best friends’ but we get along, at least it’s better than online friends.”
I laughed and replied
“Bro, I came to this party just before my brother is meeting his online girlfriend in our house,
and he don’t wish I’m there.”
“The fuck, do you know how it goes.”
“Fuck no, well I just wish it works horrendously so I could make a joke out of him.”
“Tell me if it works well, and I might as well get a online boyfriend.” She said laughing
“Yeah sure”
There was a awkward silence as I ate my pizza.
“You a R-Type fan?” I asked
“Oh you mean the shoot ‘em up game?”
“Yeah”
“Sorry but no, I just like the music of the game. Never played it.”
“The music?” I questioned, I never thought people would like R-Type for its music.
“Yeah the music is beautiful, but it’s really not that popular, so I’m worried if they’re going to
make any more sequels. You also like the music?”
“Nope, but I do get it, I really wish r-type get more recognition so they could come out with
more sequels. However sometimes having something unpopular is quite nice, it feels like
something only you discovered, I like that.”
“Fuck yeah”
As she’s not a rtype fan, I just spent quite some time rambling about random topics, such as
the peak sushi restaurant next to the school and how we just broke the vending machines in
the school, and how corrupt the school is.
She looked at her phone and said, “shit I gotta go, nice to meet ya.”
I replied, “yeah real nice talking with you, hope to see you again.”
As she left she said, “can I have your contact, you’re a pretty interesting guy.”
“Sure I’ll give you my contact”
After the party I went back home, it appears my brothers girlfriend mission was a success.
Well I can’t wait for school and talk about his success.
