《Hotshot? ~{Tomboo}~》~{Chapter 43}~
Advertisement
It was game day....
I was really excited for Ranboo and I really wanted to be there to support him, but-
He doesn't need me there...I can just stay home where I'm sa- er- comfortable. But in all honesty, I'd rather be at home where it's safe. I'm-....scared.
Which is why...I'm not going.
I wanted to talk to Ranboo about this, but it just hasn't popped up in our make o- I mean conversations lately.
So right about now I would call or text him to let him know, since I'd just got to my locker- but....I don't have my boyfriends number for some reason- which is wierd cause he flirted with me a ton before we dated. Anyways, I'm sure he'd understand just this once.
I grabbed my things from my locker, then locked it back up. Then I headed to the bus stop- the one that would take me home.
It was pre game warm ups and I kept looking at the stands to see Tommy. I would've called or texted him, but I still don't have his number- which is seriously wierd and I should probably get it later today. Anyways, I was really motivated to win today's game so that I could gain just a little more confidence before I go ask Tommy to prom.
We'd just done the coin flip and I still hadn't spotted Tommy. Not to mention- the other team had won the coin flip. I didn't let it bother me though, he'd walk over to me during half time, I'm sure.
We were only down by a field goal, so I knew we had a chance to come back and win. Right now I was looking for Tommy- however I didn't really see him anywhere.
"Hey Ranboo?" I heard my friend Purpled ask.

I turned round to face him, "Yeah?"
He chuckled, "Uh- did you get asked out or something? I don't see Tommy anywhere and there's like- gifts n stuff at your locker-"
"No! I didn't get asked out- actually I'm doing the asking." I laughed then continued, "I'm actually looking for Tommy, but I dunno where he is. Its fine though, cause I'm gonna do it after the game."
Purpled smiled, "Thats great man! Everyone can watch you do it! It'll be awesome!"
I blushed embarrassed, "Oh, uhm- that's not necessary-"
"Nah dude- I'm gonna go tell the guys!" Purpled cheered then ran off.
I sighed, "Great."
Tommy hadn't come to say hello or anything, but that's okay. He probably got hungry and went to get some food or something instead. It's all good, but right now I had to focus on the game.
If we were gonna come back and win, I needed to seriously focus.
I lay down in my bed at home watching TV. I really would have loved to call Ranboo and hear his voice to ask how the game was going and everything- but I didn't have his fricking number!
Honestly, it's kinda annoying.
I sighed and just averted my attention back to the television.
We lost and I wasn't feeling that confidence boost that I needed. In fact I sorta needed a hug. And I really wanted one from m- uh- Tommy.
But still- I'm ready to ask him out. It may be kind if early, but I don't want to go through next week having to hear a bunch of dumb girls try asking my boyfriend out.
Anyways, I grabbed the flowers I had and then the box of chocolates.
This is sorta cheesy.
...maybe this is too much?

No it's fine.
He'll like it.
I walked out of the locker room and looked around for Tommy. My teammates were all standing aroumd waiting to see me ask Tommy out. But- I didn't see him around anywhere, and it was wierd.
Purpled tapped my shoulder, "Hey man. Bus is gonna leave in a bit. You don't wanna miss it...Me and the guys are gonna go now- sorry Tommy didn't show..."
I sighed, "I didn't see him during half time either...it's strange."
"He's probably on the bus waiting for you. So let's not miss it okay?" Purpled smiled.
I nodded, "Yeah...your right."
I walked with Purpled to the bus stop. I gathered up confidence before I got on and when I did...I took a quick look around to- not see Tommy?
"Purpled, I've gotta go! Tommy isn't here!" I exclaimed and ran off.
Purpled tried stopping me, but I had ready ran off.
He shook his head and sighed, "Ranboo- I don't think he came...."
I shook my head, "Ofcourse he did."
I walked off and the bus drove away. I went around looking for Tommy.
He....didn't come.
This whole stupid plan to ask him out and- he didn't even show up.
Maybe it's not his fault...perhaps I should've been more clear, but- still.
I think he should've come to his boyfriend's football game.
I sighed and sniffled, then I tossed the flowers away into a trash can. I began walking home and ate the chocolate as I drown in my sadness.
As I finished the box of chocolates I huffed and turned a little- mad instead of sad...why didn't he come?
I took a shaky breath.....Why are relationships so difficult and confusing?
I yawned and turned the TV off.
I can't wait to see Ranboo on Monday- er- hopefully I can see him tomorrow.
He is my boyfriend, so it makes sense to hang out with him on weekends.
I closed my eyes and cuddled up to my pillow, "I miss you Ranboo...."
I dozed off and couldn't wait to see Ranboo. I was also very excited for the upcoming school week. I was looking forward to being asked out by Ranboo to the prom.
I love you Ranboo.
I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your game.
I really wanted to be there, but I was afraid.
You understand though- you always do.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14
