"Meet you on the world?" "Want to be friends in the World?" this is what most kids were saying after school to friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, and other students. Now that the Prism players were gone, nobody worried. News was about the World was always buzzing around in Walt Whitman High School. Sean, who was in tenth grade, was one of the kids who didn't play the world. He thought the concept was dumb and wanted nothing to do with it. He thought meeting people in real life was much better meeting some 3d character on your computer screen. His friends mostly liked the World. They thought the idea of having a completely different personality was the greatest.
"Hey Sean," Sean's cousin said on the phone,
"Want to play the World? It will be fun. I know you aren't into this kind of thing but you may like it," she said,
"Lisa you know I don't want to. It probably costs too much money," Sean replied,
"Don't worry about the cost, I have an extra program and headset for the World right here. Just try it. If you don't like it then you don't have to play it," Lisa said,
"Fine I'll be over to pick it up. If I don't like it then I won't play it," Sean replied,
"Okay, goodbye," Lisa said,
"See you," Sean said as he hung up the phone.
He put on his denim jacket and headed to his cousin's house, which was only a block away.
"Ding Dong," the bell went as Sean rung it,
"Hey Sean the stuff is in here," Lisa said as Sean entered.
They headed into her room. The walls were red with a wooden trim. The walls were covered with posters of popular rock bands and male singers,
"Well here you go," Lisa said as she handed Sean the stuff he needed to play the World,
"Thanks," Sean said as he grabbed the stuff and headed back to his house.
Sean loaded the World on his computer and put on his headset,
"Choose your race," the computer said as it lit up,
"Human of course," he said as he selected human,
"Choose your appearance," the computer said,
"I'll make it look like me," he said.
He made the character have brown messy hair like he had, peach skin, blue eyes, a medium sized nose, and small ears,
"What else?" he thought to himself,
"Oh yeah I need clothes, duh," he said to himself as he added red pants and a brown muscle shirt-like thing,
"Well on to the next step," Sean said,
"Choose your weapon," the computer said,
"Hmm… twin blade or heavy blade, everything else seems boring. I know! Heavy blade for sure," Sean said as he selected it,
"You are now ready to play the world," the computer said as a loading sign came up on his computer.
