A.N.
This is a story I thought up while bored at school. Don't flame me if it's too bad, but please leave you constructive criticism in a review.
I do not own anything in this story but my characters and ideas (at least I hope so).
Enjoy!

He was new to this. New to this school, new to this country, new. Which meant that he was alone, at least for now. And he hated it. He was bored almost to death. Thankfully, he came later than he planned… Originally, he planned to be here around a quarter of an hour before the bell rung, but due to the traffic jam, he was even late by five minutes.
Rushing inside the classroom that was written on the paper he had received the day before when he came to register, he saw that there was only a desk on the second row and four seats on the first. He put his bag on the second-row one and sat down, thankful that he didn't have to sit in the front row, as he despised it.
"Excuse me, can I sit here?" A girl asked him. She was lean, with a fair complexion, long, slightly wavy blonde hair and steely-grey eyes.
For a moment he considered brushing her off, but he could never deny something to a girl, especially something so trivial. He was just so naïve.
"Yeah, sure."
"Thanks!"
With a sigh he sat at the seat right in front of her as there wasn't any other empty seat by now. The professor came in the class and thus, school began for our really bored protagonist.
(after that class)
When the bell rung, he put his things back in his bag and he went into a somewhat quiet spot he had spotted (get it? Spot…spotted…. I'm just funny like that), put on his headphones and lost himself in his music… for the whole break. He wasn't antisocial, nor was he a loner… He just had a small bit of trouble approaching others… That was especially enhanced now as he wasn't just in a new school, but in a new country.
The bell rung again.
Putting his headphones in his bag, he fell in line with the other students to go to his next class.
After entering the class, he again sat in a second row desk.
And again, the same girl stood next to his desk.
"Sorry to bother you again… Can I sit here please?"
He sighed.
"Whatever. Here."
Again he got up from his seat and again he sat in front of her
(After school)
He was making his way to the exit of the school to return home, when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey."
It was that same girl again.
"You must really dislike me…"
"Why would I dislike you? You haven't done anything to me." He was taken aback by her words.
"For making you change seat two times in a row."
"I wouldn't dislike you for something so trivial… I don't even know your name, so I don't know if I like you or not."
She froze for a moment, then a smirk split her face.
"Oh really? Well, I would love to sit here and chat, but I have to go. See you around."
"Bye!"
Then realization hit him in the head.
'I don't even know her name!' Resisting the urge to kick himself, he carried on his way home.
(Half an hour later)
After eating a small snack to keep him from getting hungry, he went into his room, set the a/c to a comfortable, if a bit chilly for most people temperature, and lied on his bed.
'So, it's finally time, huh? I've been waiting for this!'
Putting the nervegear on, he checked the time and said the words that would change his life for ever:
"Link start!
And a vortex of colour overtook him.

After creating his avatar, a blue haired lean dude, around his height and build as he didn't want to feel to unbalanced while playing the game, a prompt appeared in front of him:
'Choose your name:'
He pondered about it for a bit. Usually he would put something like "XdemifienderX539", but he would be called that a lot for the next month or so and to be honest, it did sound a bit embarrassing. Then, a figurative lightbulb went off in his head.
'Are you okay with the name "Maskian"?'
'Yes'
'Welcome to Sword Art Online beta.'
