Cherreads

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 - The Fours

[I'm already leaving, let me know because I won't have any data on the way]

A friend sent that message on his cell phone. The four friends were going to meet at one of their houses, like every month, normal for them.

"Okay, let's meet at the terminal, and from there we'll go to Yung's house."

Another friend responded to the group call on their cell phone. Yung was the one who put the address, and he lived almost on the edge of Babilton City.

"Wait for me, we'll go to the terminal together, Fisu."

"Okay."

Fisu and Gerson lived nearby, while Uri lived on the other side, opposite Yung's house.

Uri lived closest to the terminal, so he was the first to arrive. He was carrying his backpack, chargers, a laptop, and a jacket.

"Oh, I told you they wouldn't be long. I'm going to get something at the supermarket in the meantime."

Uri entered the supermarket and wanted to leave his backpack in the lockers. They were different from the last time he'd been there.

"What the hell, how does this work?"

The lockers weren't red; they didn't have keys; they were gray, and there was a screen on one side with a red bar. Some lockers were open and others were closed.

"Ha! I get it!"

Uri placed his backpack in one of the open lockers and closed it. Immediately, a piece of paper popped out of a slot under the TV. This was the ticket, and it had a barcode.

With these tickets, he swiped it over the red bar.

"I see."

Uri squeezed the paper in his hand and entered through the small iron door that opened automatically as a security measure.

"I see." He walked to the back of the supermarket where they were, grabbed one, and went to the register to pay. On the counter, he saw some salty chips on sale and grabbed three.

He paid and left.

"I'm here,"

Fisu said as they were entering the supermarket with Gerson.

"I wasn't going to wait for you outside, it's freezing."

The boys greeted each other with a handshake, as always.

They went outside and headed to Yung's house.

"Here, they're chips."

"Oh, right there,"

The boys said as Uri drank his soda.

Fisu looked skinny, not very tall, wore earrings and a nose ring, and had a short haircut. A Feid, on the other hand, Gerson was tall and fat, and had long hair.

They walked several blocks until they reached the "Flag." It was a roundabout where the country's flag was placed. This country was Bachánn, located on the Asian continent.

"Not long now, guys."

"Yeah, not long, just ten more blocks. Don't talk nonsense, Uri, my legs are hurting now."

"Haha, anyone can say Uri."

Fisu and Gerso responded to Uri's sarcastic comment.

"I know I'm done with the soda."

"You didn't have any more time for a big rat."

Uri and Fisu were talking.

Until a message came to Fisu from Yung, since he was the only one with any information.

"Are you guys coming?"

Yung asked.

"Hey, I left because I was already around the corner."

Fisu sent an audio recording, holding back his laughter.

"Haha, now he's going to come out and wait for us and he's going to freeze to death."

"No, haha, if he believes that, he's still a total idiot."

"We're only halfway there."

Approximately forty minutes passed, and he was just getting to Yung's house.

"Look, haha, Yunh is waiting outside."

Fisu said, putting his hands to his face.

"Nah, you're a total idiot. He waited outside for like half an hour."

Gerson said.

"You're all really stupid, aren't you?"

Yung said with a long face.

"You're not going to keep waiting, Gil."

Yung came over to say hello and tried to punch Fisu in the stomach, as payment.

"Here, you idiot."

"Ah, you're really overdoing it."

Fisu said while Yung greeted Uri and Gerson.

"Let's go quickly," Yung said, and they continued walking to the house on the other corner of the block.

They went inside and left their things.

"Ugh, what are we eating, guys?"

Yung asked.

"I don't have a penny."

Fisu replied sarcastically, referring to his lack of money.

"Let's get some snacks and a soda."

Gerson replied.

It was around nine at night.

"Let's go before it gets any colder."

Uri said.

The boys went out to a 24-hour convenience store five blocks from the house.

"Shall we get some pizza on the way?"

Yung asked. He's the one who always orders things, so he asks the others if they're okay with it.

"Yeah, okay,"

The others replied.

They bought the things and were already on their way back.

"Uh, do you know what I found to play with?" A game I saw there is called something like 'Secret Card,' I think."

"Fa, no, I don't know which one you're talking about," Uri and Gerson replied.

In a couple of minutes, they returned to the house, poured themselves some soda, prepared the snacks, and left the pizzas in the refrigerator.

While they were drinking, they put on a football game on TV.

The first half ended, and they started talking about their lives, normal as always.

"Hey! Should I get the pizzas ready?"

"Yeah, yeah, go ahead,"

Some people replied.

Yung took out the pizzas, and also took out cheese. He heated the pizza in the oven with cheese.

"Hey, shall we play the game I told you about?"

"Let's see what it is," Uri replied as he went to his backpack to get his laptop.

The others took their laptops out of their backpacks.

"Wait, I'll get mine,"

Yung said as he went up the stairs.

He came back immediately and looked for the game.

"Here it is."

"Let's see."

Uri got up to look at his screen, and what he saw was a website.

"You're saying it's good?" Uri asked, looking at Yung, who was sitting at the table.

"Yeah, I guess so... According to the reviews it had."

"And where did you find it?"

"On 'Rbka'"

[Rbka is a social network where you can upload any content without censorship, like Twitter.]

"And have you tried it yet?"

Uri asked.

"No, I waited to try it with you."

The game was a website with a black background and a large green 'View' option in the middle.

"Press 'view'"

Uri said.

Yung listened and pressed.

Two more options appeared on the screen: 'I'm sure' and, next to it, 'exit'.

"I'll press 'I'm sure', right?"

"Yes, press it."

As soon as he did, a title appeared: 'List', and below it, a myriad of people's names.

Yung and Uri were processing what they were seeing when a notification quickly appeared in the middle of the screen, but it wasn't part of the page, but from the laptop.
