The Occupants

As I walked into Gamestop, I noticed that there were more people than usual. I noticed some kids over at the WiiU section, and that was strange to me. Who still would buy a Wii U? Their hardware is outdated and their games are dying. They probably are too young to realize that buying that console is a waste of money, or that they are attached to the old Gamecube days.. I moved my eyes to the Xbox section and it had a lot more people. The Battlefield 1 beta section was packed and noisy. The guys over there were yelling and screaming whenever they got killed. I thought to myself, did they just come to Gamestop to play a demo? That’s dedication right there! They must be one of those hardcore Battlefield fanboys. I noticed that the 2k17 area was filled with mostly African Americans, but they weren’t loud like the Battlefield section. They talked with a normal tone and did some fake hoops. Realizing that I stood there for a straight five minute looking at people; I made my way to get my prepaid card. The cards are all the way in the back and usually empty. I saw a girl back there as I made my way to the cards. We both reach for the same card which was the League of Legend one and I greeted her. She was there because she didn’t trust online payment, and I had an instant connection. I knew she was here for a safety net, and I respect that. I walked out Gamestop with a new friend.
