CHAPTER 9

A/N I've been trying to make myself write, but my dumbass is more interested in trying to plan a sequel when I don't even know where this story is going to go.

Keep enjoying my crappy writing!

Alex POV

Laf and I were the first to arrive at the Schuyler's dorm, along with John and Herc who we met on the way. Peggy and Maria greeted us at the door.

"Hi! Come in, we have snacks!" Peggy said.

"SNACKSSSS!!!" Herc screamed, running inside and towards the food table.

We all laughed at Herc's sense of urgency to get to the snacks, then we also went inside the dorm. Peggy said that this 'knight squad' game had a max of 8 players, so she wanted to wait until we could reach that number to start.

***

About 15 minutes later, everyone but Aaron had arrived, so Peggy stood on the coffee table and gathered everyone's attention.

"Ok, so who here actually wants to play xbox?" she started off. John eagerly shot his hand up, along with Herc, Eliza, Sokka, Thomas and Angelica. I remembered that Peggy said it could have 8 players, so I put my hand up as well. That was definitely the only reason, not that John was playing. Hehe.

"Great!" Peggy said. "If anyone else wants to play, we can take turns. Everyone who is playing, come take a seat on the beanbags by the tv." We followed her instructions, then looked back at her. "Ok, now for instructions on how to play." (you can skip this if you don't care how to play, if anyone else actually knows what this game is I will be very surprised)

"So, before any round starts, you pick a character. Every game is different, some are in teams and some are every person for themselves. We can start with individual, and once you guys get the hang of it, we can try other modes. You run around the screen using the steering button, getting better weapons to attack people with, and to attack, use the 'y' button."

"Why?" Sokka joked. Peggy rolled her eyes.

"Ok, so let's start the first round. Players, pick your characters!" Peggy said excitedly. She handed out controllers, and when she gave one to John, she shouted "I bags Sparkles!"

John smirked. "Too bad," he said, before selecting what seemed to be a rainbow character?

Could it be?

"NOOOOOOOO!" Peggy screeched. "MY XBOX, I GET TO PICK CHARACTERS FIRST!"

"Well, I have to have this character, because I am obviously the gayest person here," John shot back.

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! I internally screamed. I had a chance with him!

Wait. He doesn't know that I'm Bi. How can I let him know that without acting suspicious?

My eyes scanned the room, and they landed on Eliza. Her name on the group chat said she was Bi as well, so she can help me.

I shuffled over towards her. "Hey, is anyone else here Bi?" I whispered.

"Yeah?" she responded, confused. "Thomas is."

Ew. Why him?

He was sitting behind Eliza, so I turned around and got his attention.

"What do you want?" he asked. Rude.

"Ok. You know how John can show off that he's gay in the game? Well, we're all Bi, and there are 3 of us, so we can do the same thing!" I whispered the rest of the plan to them, and we quickly selected the colour characters we needed.

When everyone had selected characters, Peggy started the game.

"3, 2, 1, Go!" the game said. Thomas, Eliza and I quickly rushed to one side of the board, got in formation and then all shouted,

"BI PRIDE!"

Everyone turned towards the noise in confusion, then looked at us on the screen and laughed. Thomas, Eliza and I were standing in a row, our colours being the ones on the Bi flag. I looked over at John to see what his reaction was, and I saw a look on his face that I couldn't quite decipher. I wonder what it was?

John POV

OH MY GOD.

I'M FREAKING OUT!

ALEX IS BI! AND CUTE! CUTE PEOPLE ARE NEVER AN OPTION FOR ME BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS STRAIGHT, BUT NOT THIS TIME!

Keep it together, John. He's looking at you. My (squip) inner voice said. I plastered a blank look on my face, and turned back to the game, still internally squealing.

The game was running pretty smoothly until I heard a shriek coming from Alex, and I almost dropped my controller in surprise.

"THOMAS!!! WE DECIDED ON A PEACE TREATY BETWEEN THE BI PEOPLE!!! WHY DID YOU KILL MEEEEE!!!" He shouted.

Thomas shrugged. "My hand must've slipped," he replied calmly.

"IT DID NOT!!! YOU KILLED ME ON PURPOSE!!!" Alex screeched. Thomas ignored him and continued playing.

A sudden boost of confidence came to me, and I walked over to where Alex was sulking and held out my controller. He looked up at me in surprise.

"You can have my controller," I said.

"Are...are you sure?" he stuttered.

"Yeah," I said. I didn't notice that everyone, instead of killing my character while I was distracted, was watching this exchange between Alex and I.

As he took the controller from my hand, our fingertips brushed for a second, and before he could see my blushing face I turned away.

But I didn't go back to my spot across the room from Alex. Instead, I took a seat right beside him on his beanbag, because for some reason, all the bean bags were made for 2 people but only had one person on each one, also so that if he died again, I could give him my controller.

Alex had his face turned back to the screen, but I thought I could see a hint of a blush on his face. But I might be imagining it.

Alex POV

I sure hoped John couldn't see my face, it was as red as a tomato, but can you blame me? My crush just sat next to me on a beanbag and we were sharing controllers.

Best. Night. Ever.

Peggy POV

I smiled and high-fived Maria as one of my favorite potential couples sat together on a beanbag. That shows that Maria's idea of having bean bags big enough for 2 people was a great idea.

I had snapped a photo of John giving Alex his controller, and it was by far one of the cutest photos that I had taken. I did catch both of them blushing, so I knew that Lams was starting to work out.

Now for Mullette, Jeffmads and Tokka...
