Fun and Games

“Gavin, guess what?” Heather said as she and Kendra walked over to Zack and Gavin. “I found another assassin!”

Gavin almost spit out the soda he was drinking. “What?” He spluttered.

“Duh! ‘Fatal Tower of Doom’, remember?” Heather asked. “The game you play as a wizard, Chloe play as an archer and I used to play as an assassin. Well, I just found out that Kendra plays as an assassin too.”

“Uhn, that’s nice, Heather,” Gavin said, still a little surprised. “I guess.”

“Wait a sec, you never told me that Heather played the game too.” Zack piped in, looking at his friend with a raised eyebrow.

“Yeah, sorry about that,” Gavin apologized. “Chloe and I found out that time you went back to town with Victoria, but when you got back, I already had forgotten.”

“It didn’t cross my mind at the time, but I should’ve known that you’d play the same game as Gavin,” Heather said while looking at Zack. “Which class do you use?”

“I’m a knight, of course.” Zack replied, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Heather giggled. “Figures.”

Kurt decided to stay out of that conversation, since he wasn’t much of a game guy. What he did, instead, was sneak a couple of glances to Kendra as he sipped on the beer in his plastic cup. The young woman had an elegant way about her, dressed in a cream colored dress and a pair of brown high-heeled boots.

At that moment, Hannah and Taylor came from the kitchen and walked over to them.

“So, Heather, we have everything at our end.” Hannah said.

“Cool,” The busty brunette answered. “I’ll have a look at our cabin later today or tomorrow morning.”

“Oh, before I leave,” Hannah suddenly said. “Zachary, c’mon, I wanna show you something!”

Zack raised an eyebrow as the older blonde started dragging him by the arm on the direction of a stairwell near the dining table where they were gathered at.

“Aww, Han,” complained Taylor as she followed them. “Do you really have to show him that tonight?”

Heather and Gavin looked at each other and shrugged, following the trio as well. Hannah led Zack down the stairs to the room below the main section of the cabin. The younger Bishop widened his eyes when he saw what was there.

“You guys got a pool table here?” He asked, surprised. “Freaking awesome!”

“Don’t tell me you play pool too?” Heather asked, skeptical.

“Yeah, Hannah taught me about a year ago,” He replied. “Ashley and Brandon were there as well, but he didn’t want to learn.”

“That’s right, if something happens to me, my two apprentices will carry on my legacy.” Hannah said, imitating the voice of some movie character.

“Does someone else can play too?” Zack asked to the rest of the group. “We can play a game now.”

“Oh no, you don’t!” Taylor stopped him before the idea could go forward.

“Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Your sister, the party pooper, made me promise to not drag anyone to play tonight,” Hannah said, looking at her friend. “Don’t worry, tomorrow we can get Ash and a fourth person to play when we have an actual party.”

“Yeah, but that’s tomorrow,” Taylor said. “Now let’s go back upstairs.”

“And speaking of my sister, I think I’m gonna go see her now,” Hannah announced. “You’re sure that’s not a problem, Heather?”

“Absolutely, she probably needs you there with her,” The brunette answered. “Enter from the back door, then she’ll be at my bedroom, which is the one facing the lake on the right.”

“Thanks,” Hannah turned to the rest and waved. “See you guys tomorrow!”

Meanwhile, Kurt had been left alone with Kendra by the dining table, which was filled with plastic cups of beer and soda.

He reached to one of the cups and extended it to her. “Want some beer?”

Kendra looked at the cup offered by him for a couple of seconds, seeming a little surprised by the gesture. “Thanks.” She said and then took the cup in her hand.

However, before she could lift it to her lips, Shawn came bounding from the living room and took the cup from her, setting it back on the table. He took a hold of her arm and began pulling her to his room.

“C’mon, I need to talk to you now.” He said.

Kurt watched the two of them leave with a scowl on his face. ”So, I have competition, huh?”
