"Well um what are you doing here?" I asked the boy.

"I live the next floor up. I just wanted to say hi," he explained.

"Well that's very kind of you. Would you like to come in?" I opened the door wider.

"Sure!" Magnus exclaimed. He stepped in the suite. "Wow it's nice in here." He looked around. "An Xbox?!"

"Yeah. I've always been more of a *Sony pony myself. But I still like Xbox."

"Sweet. Got any good games?" he asked.

"Well..." I looked through the games. "Minecraft, Fortnite, Sea of Thieves. You like any of those?"

Magnus nodded.

"We can play one," I suggested.

"Sure," Magnus agreed. "Well I've only played Minecraft so how about that."

"Okay." I took the disc out of the case and put it in. I handed him a remote.

"Thanks."

We began to play. Magnus started building a castle out of Purpur block. I blew stuff up.

Again, there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it." Magnus stood up. He opened the door.

"Hey Magnus," the person said.

"Hey Alex," Magnus replied. Alex walked in.

"Uh hi? I'm Emerald..."

"Hey, I'm Alex."

I smiled awkwardly. "Uh you wanna play?"

Alex shrugged. "Sure."

I handed her a controller.

"Thank you," Alex said. "Oh by the way, I'm a boy today."

Magnus noticed the confused look on my face. "Alex is gender fluid. Which means he changes genders."

"Ohhhh," I said. "That's really cool, Alex."

"Thanks," Alex replied. Alex started spawning a bunch of chickens.

We sat silently as we played.

"This is awkward sorry," Alex apologised.

"No it's fine." I shook my head.

"Awkward is my middle name," Magnus joked. He flashed Alex and I a smiled. We laughed.

"Just wait 'till dinner tonight," Alex said, after a while.

"Is the food good? I'm a picky eater," I said.

"I'm sure you'll like something," Magnus ensured. "I really like falafel. But that's beside the point."

I coughed. "Uh what is the point?"

"You'll see," Alex promised. I raised an eyebrow.

"Okay..." I mumbled.
