“Okay, okay, what’s he like?” She breathed, leaning in so close to Mateo that if it had been me, I would’ve screamed.
“Um...sombreroy?” Mateo tried.
She gave him a threatening look.
“Okay, he’s a cool dude.” Mateo hurried to elaborate. “He shared those RPGs after all.”
“With you!” She said, reiterating an earlier point.
“Yes.” Mateo agreed warily.
“I need to meet him.” She said. “I must. You will arrange this.”
Mateo shot me a look that read “help please.” I sighed. Distraction tactics time. “Who’s this you’re talking about?”
“TheGreatCon.” She blew out an exasperated breath, and gathered in another to launch a fusillade at Mateo.
“Who?” I screwed up my eyebrows.
“Only the most famous, illustrious, amazing, totally incredible gamer ever!” She said, an odd look crossing her face that looked halfway between a swoon and hero-worship. “Sounds like a stuck-up jerk.” I said, and turned away.
She promptly hit me in the back of the head, and I toppled off the crate. I landed on the ground in a heap, my leg twisting a bit beneath me. I drew in a ragged breath. Lesson learned, never insult her current crush.
“Are you alright?” She glanced down at me, realizing that this was her handiwork.
“Yeah, peachy.” I said through gritted teeth, picking myself back up.
“You need to get over that bum leg already.” She thrust her hair back, and went back to ignoring me.
Now, if she hadn’t been a girl, I probably would’ve challenged her to a gaming duel, loser goes to school in his boxers next day, but that wouldn’t work out well for obvious reasons.
Instead, I meekly sat myself back upon my perch, and sulked as only I know how.
I guess Alejandro does know how to sulk like a pro...
One of the few things he is exceptionally talented at. Glad you're back!
That's West Texas, I live in South-East Texas which is closer to Louisiana.
Well, see, on the map all of Texas looks the same, and I am having a really hard time coming to grips with the fact that there is in fact such a thing as significantly different parts of Texas.
Let's see...El Paso is more of a desert, Amarillo is more of a prairie/tundra, Dallas/Fort Worth is a little bit like the north-east states and Houston is like a swamp.

They really ought to chop Texas up into a couple smaller states.
