Your name is Lucas Collins. You, and your class were going to California to compete in the T-3 video game competition, and fighting against another school in that state to win. Your video game coach was the cashier of GameCo, named Julian Vidal. With his help, he would be able to help you win, because he's played video games all his life.
Also on your team was your best friends Damon, Brenda, Judy, and Julian's younger sister Skylar. Julian was the oldest out of all of you, while his sister Skylar was the same age as you, when you first met her. Skylar goes to your school, but for the truth, you had a crush on her, and she doesn't know, because you were too shy to tell her. As you all get to the airport, Julian payed for the rides at the hotel rooms, and badges for the T-3 conference, for you, and your team, and start while he also signs up for the competition.
