It was a sunday, just came back from church with my family, as we do every week. I have been keeping this to myself for a long time , mulling over it, hoping it wasn’t true, but the feeling , it never left, so there was no doubting it. Every time U saw a hunky guy I couldnt help myself and I would think about it all day. So it was time.

I sat my mum and dad down.

“Mum, dad, i have an announcement to make”

My dad was looking uneasy, my mum’s voice quivered.” What is it darling?”


“I’m a g-g-” my voice kept breaking , I couldn’t help it, i was too nervous. I could tell they were worried but I finally mustered the courage to sit them down, no way could I stop now.

“I’m a gamer.”

My mum immediately burst into tears and burried herself into my dads arms. He was tearing up, I had never seen him shed a tear before. I knew I had done irreparable damage to my family.

“Son, how could you? We tried so hard go raise you right, and now this?! We spent thousands of pounds to put you in a nice school in a nice neighbourhood and this is how you repay us?!”

“Dad, it’s not a cho-“

“GO TO YOUR ROOM! Me and your mother will have to discuss this and what it means for the family you just destroyed.”

As I walked up to my room I heard my mum whimper :”Oh Chad, what will we do? What can we do?”

“I KNEW we shouldn’t have bought him that Nintendo-station 4-thing, Stacy! I told you! And its ruined h-”

I couldn’t hear his voice through the now-closed door. I got into bed and wept the rest of the day, only getting out to pee in my piss drawer and taking a swig of my hidden stash of gamerfuel and gamer girl pee.

Monday.

As soon as I walked into the school all eyes were on me. I felt ashamed. I could feel their hatred for me. As I looked around I noticed Brad, the class chad, talking to my crush, Veronica. I was livid, but if I confronted him he would kick the shit out of me as usual. Either way, she could never love me back, knowing I was a gamer. I sat at the back of the class, as I had done since I discovered that I was a gamer, in order to play games on my Nintendo 3DS.

“Arthur, what are you doing back there you little shit?”

The teacher. Mr Society. He was always mean to me.

“You are not paying attention, go to the priciple”

“*sigh* Let me get my stuff at least.” I replied

I opened my desk. There it was.

My AR-15.

It’s gamer time.
