Chapter #4You win. by: NVR   50000 was a good score, and it was higher than what you registered last time according to the game, but what Izzy didn't know was that you gave up on playing the game when you saw a video that kinda ruined it for you, showing the game was broken and you could collect points for a really long time with just a series of patterns. You remember trying it once, verifying the video wasn't lying, enjoying the little rush of beating the game and then not even bothering to save your score, just turning the console off and forgetting about this particular game knowing it was easy for you.
And because this wasn't that long ago you still remembered the patterns, so soon enough you had time to enjoy the slow transformation on your sister's face, from confident determination as she taunted you with her gamble of making you her servant, the seeds of doubt arising to shut her up and that beautiful moment when she realized she was going to lose
"Is anything wrong sis? You seem so quiet all of a sudden" you said in a calm tone, loving her expression of defeat as you forget about the patterns and just play for fun, having broken her score. You reach around 65000 points before losing all your lives, and put your initials above her ISA 50000 register as a final blow
"When did you learn to play like that, it's unfair! I beat your last score!" Your sister protested and you just laughed
"I'm sorry sis, but I'm the older sibling. Bigger, stronger, smarter, and better at games." You smirk at her before adding "And free of boring chores for this week"
Isabel just stays quiet, her face getting red, not finding a good comeback for your silly taunt because she put the rules and you lost fair and square.
"Then it's unfair you're the older brother! I need to find a way to fix that" She said with indignation
You just chuckled again at her nonsensical mission "What do you mean? I will always be the older one. Just bad luck for you. Anyway you lost so you better get started, you have a lot to do"
You patted her head, partly to embarrass her further and partly as a sign of affection. She was alright for a 8 year old, a kid you actually enjoyed spending time with.. on most occasions, she was just a bit too competitive and the difference between you two was too much so she only won whenever you let her. The high stakes were uncommon, but since you controlled the result you didn't care about them, and in the end, you liked both how driven she was and how she always honored her bets, as silly as they were.
"Hmph.. Fine, you are older but maybe something can be done about the other stuff" she said more to herself before getting up and moving towards the kitchen to wash the dishes, her body language showing clear frustration.
You felt a bit bad for her but not bad enough to help her, the bet was her own stupid idea. You turned the console off and went back to your room to relax a bit and plan what to do with the extra time
