CASEY'S POV
Ugh. I couldn't do this. Planes. Planes terrify me - it's not so much being in the air. No, I don't have a fear of heights. It was just going up in the air. It was stupid, really. I'd been on steeper rollercoasters and been fine, so why did planes scare me so much? I'd brought my laptop with me, and had it on my lap, but without internet connection, I couldn't really do much. I could play a survival world, which I hadn't done in forever, or build houses in creative mode.
"Must suck to not have internet." A boy next to me said. He looked about twenty, with dark brown hair and blue eyes. He looked like the stereotypical hipster, with skinny jeans, a patterned t-shirt, and gray converse. Don't forget the gray beanie and the black, plastic hipster glasses. He was cute, sure, but not really my type.
"Yeah. I don't like going up in the air - I took some medicine to calm me down, but it isn't working." I say to him, more looking at my laptop then his face as I open Minecraft. "Afraid of heights?" He asks, and I shake my head. "No. Like. I said, it's just going up into the air I don't like."
"Oh. It's not really so bad. Anyway, my name's Danny." I nod, before realizing I should really tell him my name. "Casey." He also nods. Wow, lots of nodding. "Hey, is that Minecraft?" He looks surprised, and rather than speak, I just nod. Again. I mean, obviously it was Minecraft. It said so in big, easy-to-read letters.
"My little sister plays that. She made me play it once. It's fun, but I've never played anything my singleplayer. Can I watch you play?" I look at him again, before responding, "Sure! It's pretty fun. I usually play on servers with my friends, though. So, what brings you to London?" I ask, as I start up a singleplayer world. I mean, the planes only destination right now was London, so that must be where he was going.
"I'm moving here. I got a scholarship at one of the colleges, for engineering. Do you go to college?" Hmm. So he wasn't just a stereotypical hipster, he was actually going to college. He was also smart enough to have gotten a scholarship. Maybe he wasn't as bad as I thought.. "Yeah! I go to college back in Washington. I'm just getting my degree, I'm not planning to get a job in a certain field."
The singleplayer world opens up. I've spawned in a savannah biome, with pigs nearby, and tons of acacia trees. Danny and I continue speaking as I collect wood and go mining. "It took me a while to realize I wanted to do engineering. My brother did it, and I never really wanted to just be a clone of him, you know? Turns out, I actually really like engineering."
"Yeah. I'm not very decisive, so I couldn't really choose. I might go back to college for a certain field someday. For now, I'll just be happy with a plain old degree." I tell him as I kill a group of spiders. I'm down to just three hearts, so I eat some of the cooked porkchops from the pigs I'd killed earlier.
God, he was really cute. Now that I was looking at him, I realized just how cute he was. His blue eyes had flecks of gold in them, just like my amber ones. The edges of his pupils were lined with dark blue, with contrasted with the almost electric colour of his eyes. His hair actually looked clean, not greasy, and was styled well. He actually seemed interested in talking to me, unlike most boys I talk to. Even his teeth were perfect - straight and clean, but not blindingly white. Too bad he didn't seem like much of a gamer.
"I was just raised to be decisive, I guess." He says, snapping me out of my daze. I look back towards my laptop screen, where I was being shot by a skeleton. I placed two pieces of cobblestone in from of me to block the arrows while I regened, then walked around them and killed the skeleton once I had full health.
"The planes landing in a few minutes." He said after a while. We'd been talking for quite a while, and I already had full iron, save for a diamond chestplate, and a diamond sword. "We are?" I look up, surprised. Sure enough, I could see the ground, not as far below us as it had once been. "I guess we are.." I mutter.
As we get off the plane not long after that, my laptop in its case, tucked under my arm, Danny pokes my arm and hands me a piece of paper. "It's my skyp3," He whispers, "I saw it on your laptop, so I'm guessing you have one."
I was shocked, to say the least. So he was cute, nice, /and/ he liked me enough to give me his skype? Sure, I liked Mitch ( aka the BajanCanadian ), but that was just a crush. It wasn't like I'd ever really end up with him, right?
Right?
[ A / N YESSSS. I'm trying to keep this off the stereotypical minecraftmarysuefqllsinloveblarglblargl sort of thing 3 had to give her a love interest who isn't Mitch, Jerome, or any of them. ehe ]
