"James? Have you seen Alice?" A familiar voice called out from behind the door.
"She's right here!" James called back, focusing on the screen intensely and pressing the buttons like a maniac.
The door knob turned and Rue stepped inside. He stopped at his tracks and watched in amusement as Alice and James act like little kids.
A little character of pixels fell into a whole and the screen went black. It then came up after a second and it read in big words;
CONGRATULATIONS PLAYER 1!
YOU'VE WON THE GAME!
Alice did a triumphant grin and glanced at James, "Ha! I won! You have to buy and make me food for a week!" Alice said proudly, stood up and planted her hands on her hips.
James groaned, "Fine, fine," James muttered and turned off the electronics. He stood up and finally, fully noticed Rue's presence. "O-Oh! H-Hey Rue! D-Didn't see you there," James said nervously, accompanied by a nervous laugh.
Alice turned to Rue and did a weak-yet-good-enough grin. "Rue!~" Alice shouted out in a sing-song voice and gave him a hug.
Rue eyed James for a few seconds then snapped back into reality from the shock of Alice's sudden hug. Rue chuckled and hug her back, "Where were you? I called you two times an hour ago," Rue said with a grin. "Were you making out with James?" Rue asked teasingly with a playful grin.
Alice did a nervous laugh and thought for a moment. "Shoot, I think I left my phone charger at home. Maybe my phone died before you called me," Alice lied with a nervous grin.
Rue sighed, "Tsk, tsk. I'll buy you another one later," Rue said with a grin and released the hug carefully.
"Oh, you don't have to. I'll ask my mom to ship it over here later so it'll probably come in tomorrow," Alice lied again, still keeping a nervous grin and glanced at James then back at Rue. "First, lets eat," Alice said with a toothy grin and looked at James. "You have to keep our deal. Buy us food!~" Alice said with a devious grin.
James sighed, "Alright," James mumbled and walked out of the room while grumbling.
Rue chuckled and wrapped his arm around Alice's neck and they walked out of the room also.
After about an hour, they came back to the hallway of dorm rooms and said goodbye to eachother. James walked back to his room while Alice went with Rue to his room.
"So, what happened after that party? I saw you all drunk and then after about five minutes, you weren't at the party anymore. Did you pass out or something?" Rue asked teasingly with a grin.
Alice panicked inside, trying to search for an answer in her head but her face remained calm in the outside. "James sent me a taxi home when it was almost passed my bedtime I made for myself since middle school and I think Pewpew helped me to my dorm," Alice replied with a nervous grin.
Rue nodded, registering the answer in his head then raised an eyebrow. "Speaking of Pewpew, I wonder where her dorm room is and what classes she has," Rue said, glancing at the room numbers that they pass by.
They then heard a familiar squeal from a distance, then it got closer... and closer... and closer until it hitted them. Literally.
"Alice!" Pewpew called out and accidentally tripped on nothing while running and broke Alice's and Rue's connection. She landed face-first on the floor between them and instantly got up as if nothing happened. "Alice!" Pewpew called out again while facing towards Alice and hugged her.
Alice's eyes widened and she quickly pushed Pewpew away. "Who are you and what have you done to the real Pewpew?" Alice asked, failed to act serious and bursted out a little giggle.
Pewpew pouted, "Hey, people don't always stay short," Pewpew muttered, crossing her arms childishly.
Alice sighed, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. You're almost as tall as me!" Alice said with a grin.
"I know," Pewpew said proudly and glanced at Rue then back at Alice. "You guys are still going out even after two years? Wow, I wonder if James is still okay with that," Pewpew said while raising an eyebrow.
Alice froze for a few seconds and glanced at Rue and Pewpew, "I know, right?" Alice said with a nervous laugh. She then thought of something that'll help her from getting Rue more curious and held both of Pewpew's hands. "Where's your dorm? I wanna see how you decorated it!" Alice said with a squeal. She looked at Rue and asked, "Do you wanna come?" While hoping that he'll deny the offer.
"No thank you, I have some stuff to finish anyway," Rue said with a grin and walked off. "Have fun you guys!" He shouted out before he opened his dorm door and entered.
Pewpew watched Rue walk away then looked back at Alice. "It's right next to James. My room looks really epic! Come on, you'll love it!" Pewpew squealed and pulled Alice in the opposite direction of Rue's room.
"I'm sure I will but I'm sure you won't like the problem I'm currently having," Alice mumbled under her breath as she followed Pewpew.
