1. Alone

Chapter 1: Alone, as I like it.

Some people called me a loner. Said I had no friends. That wasn't true, I had plenty of friends! Jacob, Adam, Alex, JeffyTuttles… or Jeffy as we call him. See, plenty! Just because they're on the internet doesn't mean we're not friends.

I just enjoy being alone. People are annoying most of the time.

And I'm a video game addict. We all play Minecraft most of the time though. In fact, I just got yet another mod. It came out yesterday, and makes Minecraft look super realistic! I was extremely excited for it to fini- OH MY GOSH IT'S DONE DOWNLOADING! I jumped out of my seat, and instantly clicked my launcher, logging in. When the main home screen came up, I started to look for changes. Nothing yet… so I started a new singleplayer world. I waited impatiently as it loaded, upset it was lagging due to my crowded computer. The familiar text, "Loading a New World," changed, to "Teleporting the Player." I flinched at the unexpected change. What did it mean, teleporting player?!

The screen grew brighter. I stared at it, startled. Soon, it was pure white, glowing, the light bathing my face in my poorly-lit room.

I groaned. I could feel wind hitting me… but it was all wrong. It felt as if I was… My eyes snapped open.

"FALLING!" I screamed. I twisted in the air, and shrieked again, seeing a body that did not belong to me. It was too skinny, too tall, too lithe. I turned to face the ground again, green going around for miles. There were mountains in the distance, an ocean, and trees EVERYWHERE. It was all so familiar, and strange. I wouldn't have long to think of it though. I looked straight where I would fall… I was so close to a lake, but not above it. I leaned toward it, screaming as I did so. I needed to make it, or I would die.

"SPLASH!"

I struggled in the lake, trying to remember which way was up. I swam up once I could feel the difference. I broke the surface, gasping from lack of air. I crawled onto land, coughing from taking in a tiny bit of water. I looked up, examining my surroundings. Everything looked like squares, and I felt so different from just a few moments ago at home. I felt My ears. They were pointed. I looked above my head.

My Minecraft username. It all fit now. And I was in singleplayer. Alone.

Just how I like it.
