"Jemma!" Catherine called as she got shot. "Thanks now I'm dead!" she said. " Oh shut up I was getting ammo." Jemma said. Catherine and Jemma were playing Call of Duty. But the only difference was that they were in two different parts of the world. Jemma was in America. San Francisco to be precise. Catherine was in England. A small town called Bristol. Jemma was 20 and went by J. She had long black hair, and bright green eyes. She always wore skinny jeans, her favorite batman converse, and usually just a random shirt she had lying around. Catherine however was completely different, she wore dresses and when she wasn't she wore jeans and a top. She was 21, had strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes.

You would think they wouldn't have anything in common let alone no each other at all. But that's were your wrong. They both share their one true love, video games. The only reason they know each other is that Jemma used to live in Bristol. She was made fun of her whole life because she liked games, like a guy they would say. Catherine liked them too but never talked about them aloud. One day Catherine saw them picking on Jemma and she decided to speak up. And so began their beautiful friendship full of achievements and quests. When Jemma's dad got re-positioned in America, Jemma had to move with him. Catherine and Jemma stayed in close touch however. And to this day play games every day. The time difference gets a little tricky but they work around it.

"God, J, next time I say ' hey I'm getting shot at come help' maybe you should!" Catherine yelled through there Skype call. "Whatever can we please just play minecraft now?" "Sure." Catherine said with an evil grin. They logged on to their world and almost immediately Catherine killed Jemma. " That's for not saving me!" She yelled. " Hey don't take my gear! That took forever to get!" "Finders keepers!" Catherine ran off into the forest with Jemma's gear in her inventory. God they were childish.

Catherine's P.O.V.

After about an hour of playing Jemma logged off as it was about 3 a.m. there. It was only 9 a.m. in Bristol,and I still had about an hour until I needed to go to work. So I decided to go to the store. I was running out of Pepsi max, the one thing that keeps me going in J and I's midnight game offs. I decided to take the long way from my small cramped apartment to the general store down the street. It was an actual nice day for once in what seemed like one of the worst winters ever in Bristol. I grabbed my coat and headed out. I was walking down the alley when I saw the game store had a new game in. It was the new Worms game. I went in and decided to grab it. I grabbed the first copy I saw. I turned around to leave but bumped into a group of men. "Sorry." I said. " It was all my fault." The tallest one said. He had red hair and a some scruffy facial hair. He was quite cute. " Worms eh?" The other one said. He was shorter than the first but much taller than the last. He had black hair and wore a shirt that said 'Hat Films'. Strange name. "Yeah, it's for my friend and I." I told them. The red head just kept looking at me. "We came in to buy that as well!" the last one said. He was quite short compared to the others. I was short compared to them as well. We were about the same height. "I'm Alex," the red head, Alex said "this is Ross, and Chris." he said pointing to the others. "Nice to meet you. I'm Catherine." I said politely. These men were strange, but still pretty cute. And they were here to buy Worms which surprised me for such cute guys. Every guy I ever met who liked games was either ugly or creepy. It was a nice change. The clock on the wall chimed 10. " It's that time already?" I said shocked. It had been an hour since I left. I dropped the game and ran out. Dashing to work. " Well bye then I guess!" Alex called after me. I looked back, smiled and waved. God he was cute.

I started down the street toward the mall. I worked at the boutique there. I had two strikes already, one more and I'd be fired. I dashed down the street. I turned the corner to find two men standing there. I ran into them and fell to the floor. Why did this keep happening to me? "Are you ok?" the tallest one asked. He had glasses and a scruffy ginger beard. "I'm fine." I said getting up. My phone buzzed and I looked at it. It was 10:10. My boss texted me that I had three strikes and shouldn't bother coming to work again. Ever. "Well I was." I said. "Is everything okay?" The other one asked. He was tall and slender. He had brown hair. "I just got fired. But I guess this means I can go buy Worms now." I said turning around. "Hey our friends play that!" the tall one said. "By any chance," I said turning back around "are your friends names Alex, Ross, and Chris?". The tall one opened his mouth, but the other one raised his hand to shush him. "Why?" The shorter one asked. " I ran into them in the shop." Maybe they do know them. " Are you a fan?" the tall one asks. "Of what?" I ask genuinely confused. "Oh well, yes we know them." The skinny one says. "Could you give this to Alex for me?" I asked as I scribbled my number on a paper. I handed him the paper. "Sure." he said. "But who should I say this came from?". "Catherine from the game shop." I said as I turned around and walked away toward home.
