The beauty of love

The Boyfriend Games

ROI

“The boyfriend games are a very interesting game in which a group of 20 people divided equally between the two gender will have to go on blind dates with each other or at least 7 people. This game will help find the perfect couple; or so they say”. Ri nodded her head in agreement to what I was saying but I don’t think she really understood it tho.

“I get it” she said still looking confused. “I guess I can make space in my busy schedule”. Is this girl crazy?

“You have no schedule”

“That’s what you think. I got to go. I have practice by 3pm and this is 2:30.”

“Do you have to” she said looking hopeless.

“Sarah’s here” I said as I pointed to Sarah

“Thanks for acknowledging that I exist Roland. I’ve been sitting here the entire time and you people didn’t even care to notice if I was alive” Sarah said a she threw her hands in the air.

“Yh… bye then” I said as I pecked Ri a goodbye on her forehead “Don’t break anything guys. I spent my full summer working on this”.

As Roi left the room, I had a feeling there was more to that football practice so I decided to ask Sarah but before I even spoke, she already started talking about how good Roland is and how cool it would be if we were together. “Come to think it” she said as she squashed my pillow in her head “Won’t it be really nice.”

“Our friendship relationship is fine this way” I said but pondering more and more about it I could see that she had little truth in what she was saying

“But then again you people are blinded by your so-called friendship that you can’t see the love between you”

“You are so sick” I said as I threw the pillow at her” And what did Roi say about it?” I asked but immediately her expression changed

“Roland told me not to speak about it and I should leave matters as they were”

“Exactly” To prove Sarah wrong that Roi and I are meant to be I’m gonna find a boyfriend at that boyfriend games stuff and I’m not going to care if Roi doesn’t like it. “Soooo, where is Roi going to”

“He’s going to the la…I mean he’s going for football practice. You know how long coach makes him work” She was clearly not spilling the beans. I know Roi was doing something other than just football practice.

The boyfriend games were going to be held at William Lockhart’s house downtown and it turns out that he was not only inviting us bears but also the wolves. He said it will promote better communal agreement but I personally feel it was more to just a gathering of 20 people. Roi told me not to wear anything to fancy or exposing so that they don’t pick me as a victim and r**e me or something. I knew something was up. Why would they just pick random girls? I wore something extra decent. The last thing I wanted to do was end up as a r**e victim.

The house was bubbling loud music and it practically smelt like wine. I don’t know why Ri brought me here but I trust him so here we are. Unfortunately for me I saw the one person I was f*******n to see sitting next to me during a game. Ewwww. I could already feel the disgust rising in me.

“What’s up sugar pie” he said as he dropped his phone beside me

“I’m cool” I said as I picked up my phone and went to sit with a guy named Phil. I couldn’t see Roi around and he’s been gone for 5 minutes. That’s a problem. As I moved across the room, I couldn’t help but notice a small group of wolf guys looking at me. It was very weird but I ignored them the moment I saw dufface with them. He was probably telling them about our or rather his little adventure in the plane. Finally, I saw Roi among a group of bears. I think they were all part of his team or something. One of them pointed and said that’s our girl. I turned back to make sure that he was referring to me. He told me to come over and then I could see Roi telling them to knock it off but at the end of the day, when I finally arrived, he introduced me to them and then they started making some noises, I feel it was a kind of message or secret language cos the wolves responded.

Roi asked the guys to stop with all their attitude, excused himself and then followed me. He doesn’t spend enough time with the boys and I kinda get that it’s my fault. Anyways I started to wonder why Roi brought me here, and why did he talk about r**e, why did the wolves look at her that way and finally why did the bears say that I’m their girl. I felt really strange cos dufface wouldn’t take his eyes off me, the wolves were smacking their lips anytime they see me and the bears all treated me extra extra special. I stayed as close to Roi as I could through all the games but I felt I was boring him cos I could see that he was really loving these games so I decided to change my seat after the next game and guess what? He didn’t even notice I was gone. Some best friend.

After a few more games I got tired and looked for Roi everywhere so that he could take me home but I didn’t see him so I sat in the couch close to the door. Phil came to sit next to me and started telling me that I’ve been a real burden to Roi’s life

“I mean look at him” he said and when I turned, I saw him I saw him laughing so hard. I could tell that he was having the best time of his life. “Don’t get me wrong, you are a great girl but get this you only left him for five minutes and you already panicked called your friend” Is it that bad? Has it only been five minutes? I panicked called Sarah and said that I couldn’t find him and that he’s being gone for a long time.

“Am I really suffocating him? I asked again

“Well, what do you think?” he said as he pointed to Roi who was apparently kissing Lily. I won’t lie to myself. I was so hurt when I saw him and I could feel the tears rising in me when he placed his hand on the wall and when he put his hands around her neck. Why do I feel this way?

“I’m fine. I mean I was even the one that introduced him to Lily solo it’s cool.” I said as I searched my bag frantically for a napkin.

“But your teary eyes speak otherwise” he said as he stood up to leave. “See, the only way you could actually convince me is for you to actually get a date this night. But I guess it can’t work since you already opted out on all the games we played”. As he left me, I felt so wasted. I don’t know why I felt this way but I was sure that I was going to get a date this night so I joined the matching game where we were asked to pick ballots. I had constol so I missed the game but luckily for me or would I rather say unluckily for me Phil brought a name for me. Apparently, he helped me pick and when I opened the paper it was none other than dufface whose name was apparently Marco.
