Hey guys! Soooo, this is only my second fanfiction, so I don't know if it'll turn out that well. I'd love to get comments and suggestions from you, so please leave reviews. I'm sorry this chapter is so short, but it's only the prologue, so the next chapters will be longer. I'll try to update frequently, but I tend to get...distracted. Haha. Anyways, enjoy! ^^
"God, hurry up, you damn computer." I irritably mutter as the download bar moves its way slowly across the screen like a turtle with three legs. "Freaking annoying." I mumble again. I sigh as I resign myself to the fact that complaining isn't gonna make it move any faster. Relaxing my tense, impatient body into the couch, I look at my reflection in dark part of the screen. My high cheekbones stick out of my thin, slender face with freckles galore. My messy bangs lay across my forehead, covering my right eye, and my top lip is so thin you can barely see. My hazel eyes almost look black in the computer's reflection and my pixie cut, dark brown hair almost disappears in the black screen. I sigh again as I realize that the reason why I'm sitting here alone on a Saturday night, downloading some dumb game everyone had been talking about, is because I'm so freaking unattractive that I can't get a date. Plus the fact that boys are so into long-haired girls, which I think is absurdly stupid. Short hair looks just as good. Trying to distract myself from that depressing realization, I quickly read over the website information once again.
"Hmm, Minecraft…..What is the big deal? It just looks like a bunch of blocks, why does everyone keep saying how fun it is?" I think quietly to myself as I scan the description and then look at the video. No matter what angle I look at it from, I know I'll get bored with it soon. I then click over to the forums and read through some of the threads as I wait for the download to finish. Finally after a few minutes, the bar hits the end and goes through a quick installation. Then, it's ready. I type in my desired username and password and then hit the "Enter" button. The launch screen pops up and I wait for it to load completely. Suddenly, the dark black fills up my screen, even though I didn't hit the enlargement button. Confused, I hit the minimize one, but nothing happens. I wait for a couple minutes, then hit CTRL, ALT, DEL to unfreeze it. Again, the screen stays entirely black. I reach out my hand for the power button when big, white words appear on the computer screen.
"Are you ready, SoloAim?" I roll my eyes at the obvious question.
"Of course, I'm ready. I've been sitting here forever waiting for you to load." I voice my thoughts out loud sarcastically. I lower my eyes to the "Yes" and "No" buttons below. I promptly move my pointer down to the "Yes" button and let it hover there. Putting my finger lightly on the left mouse button, I pause.
"Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling about this?" I brood over in my mind, but I swiftly put that thought into the stupid, paranoid section to be ignored. "I'm so dumb, sometimes." I snigger to myself as I lightly tap the button. Then, everything went wrong.
