It only took me 13 minutes to get to the closed off library. I read a sign that said, "Library Closed for Scheduled Event". I followed a series of other signs that lead me to a door on the other side of the building; the entrance leading straight into the computer lab. The computer lab and the library are connected, so I see why one would be closed off if the other was.

I open the door and was instantly hit with the bustle of girls shouting, running around, or just jumping up and down in excitement. Just seeing everyone be so happy instantly brought up my hyperactivity level from 1 to 100.

To my right is a small booth with a sign that reads "CHECK IN HERE". I run over to the booth with a huge smile on my face. I am greeted by a buff looking bald man wearing a tight black shirt and sunglasses, inside. Ok then. He sighs and says, "Please show me the tweet you received verifying that you won." He seemed so bored and unenthusiastic about being here with a bunch of screaming girls. I quickly nod and take out my phone, showing him the tweet that read, "CONGRATS mad_madly ON BEING THE 132 WINNER!!! THE EVENT WILL BE HELD IN THE COMPUTER LAB IN THE CENTRAL LIBRARY!!! EVENT WILL BE ON MAY 3RD AT 11:30am!!! HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!!" He read over the tweet and checked the handle it was sent from and everything until he was satisfied it was real. He waved me off and I fist pumped the air. I look at the time on my phone, and watched as the time changed from 11:29 to 11:30. Perfect.

Everyone started to get quiet while people started to turn their heads towards a lady standing on a table. "Attention everybody please!" I heard her yell this time. Everyone was hushed and facing the lady. "My name is Marisol and I am the host of these events! Today as you all know is the war for our precious Lil Lachy!" She holds out the word Lachy while motioning towards a door. Two other women came in holding the man himself, Lachlan Power. But what I saw killed me. He had a chain around his hands and was wearing a fancy suit, though it didn't look too clean. His facial expression read something like defeat, embarrassment, anger, and sadness.

He was brought up to stand on the table next to Marisol. Everyone started clapping and cheering and screaming, but all I could do was cover my mouth and try not to cry. Lachlan scanned the crowd with a look of terror until he saw me. At this point, I had tears streaming down my face, but the only person who seemed to notice was him. He kept looking at me with curiosity while everyone else hadn't calmed down yet. I uncovered my mouth and mouthed, "I'm so sorry. I will try to help," to him. I think he understood me because he gave the the shortest, smallest smile possible. He looks at the suitcase that is next to me with a look of confusion, probably realizing its his. I wiped tears from my face and mouthed, "I will explain later." He gave me the smallest possible nod and put his head down.

"Everyone take a seat at the computer with your twitter handle on it!" Marisol boomed over and over until everyone had heard her. I walked around the rows of computers until I found my corresponding computer. On each screen was the Minecraft log in screen. The girls next to me logged in and joined a server labeled, "Private server event only", so I did the same. I join the server and look back to Lachlan, who is still looking at me with hope. I think we both want him to come home with me.
