Finding Love on a Video Game?
Prequel - (Kind Of)
My Name is Ray, Im just an average 14 year old kid, 9th grader, I'm into Video Games, Anime, Television, you know that kind of stuff. I first fell in love with a beautiful girl named Sara, she was my age, and we like the same things however we rarely talked, on some occasion we would glance at each other and nod, after the 'Game' we started going out, it's weird, video games find you love? I never knew that.
It was an average day, 2nd Semester of the School Year, April 14, Warm/Breezy Day outside, the usual teasing of my friend when I got distracted looking at Sara when she walked by, I couldn't respond to them, instead I just blushed and shyly looked away.
The bell rung which meant it was time for 2nd Period, Biology class, where she sits a seat in front of me, I sighed and prepared for the teasing from my best friend Michelle. me and her have always been cool, before everyone thought we hated each other, due to the fact that we go for rival football and basketball teams. I never asked her out because I already knew she liked someone else, and I knew michelle and I would always be close friend, why risk it right….no, eh whatever. I walked in and quickly took my seat, this time it wasn't Michelle who began the teasing, it was her boyfriend Francisco, I put my head down, our teacher thankfully told them to quiet down, and right before he began teaching, the speaker in our classroom gave the usual ring, it was the principle, with her cheerful attitude.
"Mr. Shaw's class?" She asked
"Yes Ma'am" The teacher responded.
"Could you send the following students to the office, Michelle, Francisco, Samantha, Sara, Kasandra, and Ray, they won't be coming back to class, this is important for each grade level students."
"Okay, they'll be right there shortly." The teacher took back the work he gave to us, and wrote us passes to head down to the office…I wonder what this was all about. Hopefully were not in trouble.
As we approached the office, I noticed Michelle and her friend Samantha snickering and laughing, they were to something, right before I could reach, Francisco snuck up, but not me, he tripped Sara, she didn't realize and took a tumble, I wasn't late though, I caught her, grabbing her waist and backing her into me, I felt her soft and short brown hair on my face, her face was inches from mine as I froze up.
"Awww get a room you two!" Samantha smiled, Michelle took a picture of us, Sara shook her head and gave quick smile before I snapped back into reality and let go of her.
"What a show you guys put on eh?" Kasandra joined in to, she knew about my crush on Sara, she didn't tease me, but she at times brings her up when I want to just have a conversation.
"You want a show?" Sara softly said.
The others looked around in confusion, I swear I could've have died in this next moment, Sara looked back at me and hugged me, she then pat my head and looked back at the others.
"W-wow…" Michelle said in shock.
"Hey! What are you kids doing out here? We need to start soon, the gamemode developers are setting it up, and we've barely gotten all the students who will participate." The principle hurried us into her office, where other kids were already inside.
They were all different grades. We 6 are the Freshman, there are 6 other Sophomores, 6 Juniors and 6 Seniors.
"The People at Mojang have been generous enough to select our school to host a Minecraft UHC competition, and we have picked 24 Contestants, 6 from each grade level, with 2 teams of 3 for each grade level"
"But what's the point in this?" I asked
"Well as you, many Youtuber's have content that is Minecraft related, Mojang wants to make more youtubers, you know, to get more viewers to watch Minecraft content. Getting a head start out of High School students, there is also a big money reward for the winning team and their grade level, they each get 20 thousand dollars in cash, pricy right? Well mojang covers everything; this game will be recorded and live streamed all across the country."
"Really? Wow Mojang is doing all this…nice." I thought to myself, I was the only that was ever played before, I knew I had an advantage, the question is who were going to be my teammates.
"We have already set up the teams, we just need you guys to come up with team names then well hop right in and start it. This game will be livestreamed, and you will be doing face cam as well, along with it being recorded for our school memories, let's begin. "
A tall stepped in with a piece of paper in his hand, judging by his ID, he works for Mojang. He cleared his throat and announced the teams.
