And he was right.
When the advert finished, he clicked on the 'play game' button until another page popped up. One that had a description at the bottom which made him lean even closer to read. "Shoot two or more connected bubbles of the same colour to disappear them...." he mumbled to himself. That..... sounded simple enough.
The game loaded and he..... was confused again. It looked just like the previews, which helped a lot, but there were a lot of bubbles just sitting there, almost staring at him, and he was just..... confused. Yeah. He bit his lip as he moved his mouse around, hoping to figure out what-
Oh! When he moved his mouse..... the shooter moved! And if he just clicked over here..... the bubble was released!
Okay. It was easier to understand now. And the description said to shoot the same colour bubbles, right? And he had a red one over here and there were currently three red bubbles piled up together over on the left hand corner so..... he moved his mouse over and CLICK! The bubble shot out and all four of the red bubbles disappeared. Okay. This wasn't that bad, right?
Except..... the more he clicked, the faster the game went and the faster a new layer was added. Each of the layers started to get closer and closer towards the bottom line and for some reason, this only made his heart beat faster and faster. He bit his lip as he continued clicking. It was.... just a game. It shouldn't be making him feel like this, should it? But that didn't stop his hand from getting sweatier and his heart to continue beating wildly and....
..... yeah, he lost.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Lucas sat back and pushed the back button. Maybe he could go and choose another-
..............
Oh. Oh, was something happening?
The first year sat up and looked around at the Professor, who was having a heated battle with the Headmaster. His eyes widened. The Muggle Studies professor always seemed nice but now she looked like she was about to breathe fire and really, he wasn't sure who he was scarier right now: the always-scary-stone-cold-Headmaster or the normally-nice-but-driven-to-be-angry-Professor. His eyes darted between them until.....
........ oh. He left? Thank Merlin.
Lucas bit his lip as he turned back around. The Headmaster hadn't really SAID anything but it seemed like he'd had a temper tantrum and stormed out and...... well, he was the Headmaster. He could do ANYTHING, right? He turned his attention towards Stella, to see what she thought, but..... something else was happening.
"Stella? Are you.... okay?"
Shaking in fear she opened her eyes and looked over at Lucas.
" I...I'm ok.""she said giving him a weak smile. Although she wasn't she just shouted out in class in front of the Headmaster and could lose points, the Headmaster was scary looking so she was a bit scared.
"I spoke out in front of the Headmaster like older Lucas did, I can lose points!" she said quietly.
"You want to play a came together ?""Stella asked him trying to calm down. Although with the Headmaster in the room she found it hard to relax, one wrong mistake she could lose points. She bit her lip looking at Lucas hearing what was happening between Professor Stewart and the Headmaster she looked worried.
" I hope she doesn't stack she's really nice." Stella said quietly to Lucas.
