Of course he wouldn't be as excited as he should be if he hadn't known that Jobet, his long time online friend was going to be there. All those nights he had spent chatting with him and replying to him in RR with all those cute smiley faces will now face judgment. You can't completely like a person through the net, or more so be his friend if you haven't met them at least once. Considering their long online relationship with each other, he wonders if Jobet will like him in RL and be as friendly towards him as he was in the forums.
Nervously brushing his hair away from his face, he tightened his grip on the plastic bag he was carrying. Inside were the models he would show Trace and the other guys during their kit bash. He also brought the HGUC Hazel II that he wanted to show to Jobet. It was hot and humid and the fact that Trace's girlfriend was late was eating away on his nerves. What if Jobet liked it when people were on time? Surely, he wanted to make a great impression on the guy. Jesus, that woman is such a headache sometimes. Hanna arrived 30 minutes late and by then Fox was already at the end of his wits. He asked Hanna if she would like to rest up first before walking to Ricks house, hiding his irritation and trying to be a proper gentleman. Gratefully, she refused and they set out to Ricky's house.
Fox felt more nervous as they went closer and closer. The house was further away than he had expected and he was already sweating by the time they hit Galaxy St.
Great, just great, Fox thought, wiping the sweat from his brow,
not only am i late but I'm sweaty too. Jobet will REALLY think im a smelly otaku by the time he meets me. He frowned at the thought and concentrated on walking.
Soon enough, Rick y's maidwas there to greet them by the gate, letting them in his big house. The other members were already there. Mark was killing Goat in tekken while doom trigger cheered for them. Raffy was fiddling with the controls of his AC. Cz was lounging on the couch along with Ricky. Everyone was excited to open Cab's big box of toys from Japan. Fox deposited his wares by the sofa and sat next to Rick. He breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that he was actually earlier than Jobet but this was soon replaced by anxiety. What if Jobet decided not to come? What if he already went here and left? What if Jobet just decided to stay as an anon in the net? Surely he's worth more than a person who comments on posts to Jobet. Atleast he's worth seeing in RL, right?
"So, where's Jobet?' he asked Ricky as casually as he can muster. He hoped Ricky wouldn't catch the nervousness in his voice. Ricky just shrugged 'I dunno, traffic maybe.'
Frustration maybe the only word that can describe what Fox felt after that. He played AC, tried Tekken, even surfed the forums in case Jobet decided to post that he's not coming.
I should have given my cel number to him or something! DAMMIT!! Fox thought.
Or maybe this shirt Im wearing is bad luck. he wished he hadn't worn his white shirt with the word 'Flirt' emblazoned in front. He had an inkling it was bad luck. After RR have eaten their Philly cheese steak sandwiches, Jobet finally arrived.
