>be me
>high school
>never owned a Nintendo console before
>always make fun of nintendo kids and their "kiddy games"
>eventually, one of them (who was admittedly more alpha than me, and who was an idort) challenged me to beat SMB1 in front of everyone
>everyone in the class (girls included) started chanting "do it, do it, do it"
>get nervous
>accept
>the challenge was that very day at 4PM at his house, everyone was invited to watch
>he'd set up his NES with Mario on his living room
>get home at 2PM, barely had time to change clothes and quickly download an emulator to practice a bit
>levels 1 and 2, piece of cake
>level 3, I start dying constantly
>fuck
>no more time to practice, gotta go to my school mate's house, everyone will be there
>get there
>nobody is there
>relax a bit
>my school mate receives me with a coke and potato chips
>we chat a bit and I try to persuade him that I don't really hate Nintendo or mario, it's just that I don't really know about it all that much
>"Yeah but you always talk shit about it"
>I tell him it's all joking and tongue-in-cheek
>"Well, whatever, today we'll have some fun"
>other kids start arriving, including girls (including my crush, fuck)
>The challenge starts, everyone is chanting, cheering for me, and also singing along the Mario level 1 theme
>Die on level 2, something that didn't happen on my emulation practice, I notice I'm getting nervous
>can't make it through 3rd level at all
>everyone starts laughing and telling me that I suck
>I just laugh it off and pretend that I don't care
>eventually the host starts playing the game
>he doesn't lose a single life
>he gets to last level and I see these fucking hammer turtle enemy
>There's no fucking way on earth I could have come beaten that shit
>everyone just watch and don't really comment on it being difficult or anything, as if they knew the game by heart, even the girls
>my crush ends up being the girlfriend of the host a few days after
