now the real deal begins. I texted all my friends and we decided to meet up at the venue where the event was taking place. “George! What’s up!” I faintly heard in the distance. Right in front of my eyes were my three good friends I met from playing video games. Three people I consider some of my best friends I met through playing Call of Duty were standing right in front of me. Words cannot describe how I am feeling.
