It was a Friday night, my favourite time of the week, and I was already in my PJs. I was on my PlayStation playing Halo with some kid online, I had been for the past four hours.

"Fuck you gamerboy91", I groaned as I got kicked off a level.

I was such a gamer. I had my own chair and everything. I'd game for ages, until the early hours of the morning, even on school nights. As I paused the game to go and use the toilet, I noticed my phone light up, with luke's name.

I stopped everything I was doing, and put my headset off, to read the message.

Luke

suppp

I smiled, scanning my eyes over the message a few times before replying.

Michael

hey, nm, just on ps4

He replied instantly, which made me a little excited. I felt stupid like a teenage girl talking to her crush or something.

Luke

Michael

Luke

Michael

Luke

Luke

Luke

I felt a flutter somewhere in the pit of my stomach as he double texted. This was so weird i had never felt like this before.

Michael

tru that. i'll add u now.

Luke

kayy :-)

We didn't talk for a few minutes after that, and i kinda missed him texting me so i thought of something else to say. As if my prayers had been answered, Luke called me. I answered with a huge grin.

"Hello?"

"I think my ps4 is broken."

I snorted.

"What? Why?"

"It won't like.. turn on. Hold on."

I heard shuffling on the other end.
