America

< 19 >

"Hey America can I walk with you"
"Yeah"
It's tuesday two weeks before we go back home to Texas for a week and a half and I still haven't told anyone other my mom who didn't take it to well... I mean she hardly even talks to me now. Come to think of it she didn't talk to me much before I told her either.
We walk in silence for a few seconds. Should I tell him I mean what would it matter to him.
We both start talking.
"Sorry you first" he says slightly laughing
"Mitch I think I'm going to go back to Texas"
"Like permanently"
"No I'm just going to go back during winter break"
"Wait really" he said his voice getting higher
"Yeah you sound super excited"
"I'm going to Texas over winter break too"
"What why"
"Umm I sorta am going to go to a convention"
"Ooo what kind of convention"
"It's not important"
"Ok where is this convention at"
"It's in Dallas" he says unsure if he got the name correct
"That is awesome it's like 10 minutes away from where I will be."
"That's cool"
I don't know why this made me happy but it did.
"Who's all going with you to the convention"
"Oh brain, Ryan, and some friends of mine from the internet"
"Oh is it for minecraft"
"Why does it matter" I regret asking when he says that. I look at the ground.
"It was just a question" I say In a whisper.
We walk in silence the rest of the way home.
"Bye" he says his voice sounds harsh. It's not my fault it was just a question.
"Really" he says and I turn around
"What"
"You can't tell me bye"
"You can't answer my question"
"Whatever"
"Mitch you don't have to be a dick to me"
"Im not being a dick you are just overreacting"
I probably am I am know for being dramatic.
"Fine you're not a dick" I go inside.
Did I literally just fight with one of friends over a stupid question about a game... I am stupid but it's not the question I am upset about it's that he doesn't see me as a close friend like I see him so he doesn't tell me anything about this second life of his. He is just changing. He is not the same person I met a few months ago.
Just then I got a text.
Parker- I miss you!
Me- aww I miss you too!
Parker- how's life up with Santa
Me- santa is nice and life's ok nothing like Texas
Parker- how so my dear child
Me- it is already super cold and they actually get more that two inches of snow and plus they don't have sunflower fields you can run in. :O
Parker- that sounds like it really sucks
Me- it does
Parker- have you replaced us yet
Me- I could never replace y'all
Parker- so you don't have friends?!?!?!
Me- I have friends!
Parker- oh really who?
Me- Mitch he is my neighbor
Brain his real name is Brayden
Garrett he is a gossip
Ashlee she is crazy
Jada she is different
Ryan they call him dolphin
Yeah these are the main people I hangout with mostly Mitch and brain though
Parker- sounds fun will I ever get to meet these friends?
Me- maybe one day ;)
Parker- haha ok well I have to shower I haven't showered in 3 days! XD
Me- GROSS Parker! GTFO and take a shower!
Parker- Haha ok well text ya lates!
Me- haha okie dokie!
I put my phone down and get on my computer. Wait if Mitch is so embarrassed about minecraft why did he give me his twitter! Boys these days. He probably wasn't thinking... Speaking of twitter I really only use it when I'm bored or sad... I don't know why I am just weird.
I get on twitter and think oh yeah that's why I don't get on much I am following like 10 people and it's boring. I log off then sign into my email. It is spammed with thirsty colleges and junk mail. Looking at it made my head hurt so I just logged off of that. I was bored there was one last thing I wanted to do... I click on the little green and brown grass block and minecraft pops up. I open up a server labeled Kastia
The chat is going crazy...
OMG bayani!
Bayani ily!
BAE-yani
Bayani screenie?
I big fna!
I'm crying
OMG!
Am I in heaven
Who is bayani?
I type in chat and instantly get comments
Do you live under a rock?
How do you not know
Bayani is love
Bayani is life
My husband
I am bayani :P
This bayani person replyed to me... Ok that's awkward I still don't know who he/she is. Then I see the infamous 'xBayani' gamertag, with the word owner in front of his name, walk past me it's a guy with a striped sweater and a crowd of people following him. I giggle to myself as I sing the spongebob sweater song. Wait he is owner of this server that's sorta a big deal and Whatever. Now I understand why people wanted a screenie with him. I just shake it off and go to play a random match of lucky block wars and low and behold guess who is in the game? Bayani. Hmmm this will be fun. I open up my sponges and I get a piece of bedrock, a lucky bow,a lucky sword and a chest with enderpearls and some armor... Not bad I use an enderpearl to go to the middle which is a giant tree covered in vines... I make it and I am the first one in the middle I immediately climb to the top and start opening more sponges... I am pretty decked out and someone started to build towards the middle there are only 4 people left Me,xbayani,waffletaco6, and never mind a message passed in chat Kiingtong fell out of the world. I was crouched in the middle with level one enchanted diamond armor.
This game is so over powered.
Waffletaco6- Bayani if you let me take a screenie I'll let you kill me.
xBayani- ok
After roughly 30 seconds another message passes in chat waffletaco6 was slain by xBayani
Xbayani- one left!
Mann_ylla- I'm not going down that easily...
I make my way back up to where the Diamonds were hidden and see his name pop up below me ... I break a leaf so I can get a Better peak inside... Bad idea... An arrow came and shot me 3 hearts down... I crouch as bayani pillars up to where I am... I quickly jump down onto his pillar and start hitting him with my sword...
XBayani was slain by Mann_ylla.
What!?! My first win ever and it was to the owner! Woo!
My first instinct was to text Jess I grabbed my phone and stare at the screen... She wouldn't care...
I put my phone down and look at my computer...
I smile like an idiot... I want to tell somebody...
Mitch and brain are probably at practice... Jada has been acting a bit weird lately.... I'm just going to call Ryan.
"Hey"
"Hey America what's up?"
"I just won a sponge block game!" I say way more excited than I intend
"What"he laughs
I proceed to tell him the story. Starting with when I logged on.
"That sounds awesome... Would you like to meet Jordan?"
"Jordan is....?"
"Oh I mean xbayani"
I have to remember that... JORDAN!
"You know the owner!"
He laughs again "yeah come over we can skype him"
"Ok I'll be there in like twenty minutes"
"Alright sounds good see ya in a bit"
"Ok bye"
I put my phone down and look at what I'm wearing; a tee and some shorts that have adventure time character all over them... Yeah I should change.
I change into my "snail running team" t-shirt and some shorts that look like blue jean shorts but they aren't.
I put on a pullover that I had taken from Mitch and some sweatpants because it was freezing balls outside.
I quickly make my way to Ryan's house... I am actually getting to know these roads really well... Thank you mental notes.
I get out of my car and snow starts falling... Great.
I make my way to Ryan's humbled mansion.
"Hello" I call out as I walk in and start taking off my first layer of clothing.
"Hey" he turns around in his computer chair to greet me.
I continue taking off my top now damp later in silence... I can feel Ryan staring at me.
"So how did you meet this Jordan kid?"
"We Met online" thank you captain obvious.
"Oh that's cool" I say walking towards him and sitting on his couch that is diagonal from the computer.
"Yeah I told him to skype me when he had the chance... So it should be anytime now... Anyway how wa-" He was interrupted my the annoying Skype call sound. "HEY RYAN!" I voice yells through the screen.
"HEY JORDAN" Ryan yells back
"So you remember that girl I was telling you about earlier"
"Yeah the one that you said you had a major crush on"I could hear the smirk in the voice.
I giggle at the statement and Ryan does some sort of dry laugh.
"I never said that... I-umm- the one who kicked your ass lucky block wars"
"Oh yeah- is that who's moving behind you?"
"Yeah it is"
I peak my head around Ryan's chair and smile. "Hi!" I exclaim as Jordan waves back. We continue talking for A few hours before Jordan has to log off... Something about dinner with his family.
"Ryan I'm hungry let's order pizza"
"Sounds good.. You want to invite the squad"
I laugh at the word squad... It's such a weird word SQ-ODD
"yeah you order the pizza and I'll invite the guys"...which is pretty much the squad.
I send a message in the group chat.
me- Pizza at Ryan's be there or be square
Brain- on my way!
No response from Mitch.
"So brain.. I mean Brayden is coming I don't know about Mitch".
"Alright well I ordered us some pizzas they should be here in 30 minutes"
"Okay sounds good"
"Let's pick a movie to watch when everyone gets here"
"Ok"
We sit on the couch and flip through Netflix... Nothing really. We go through Hulu and find a movie that looks scary so we decide to watch that one.
"So what have you been up to lately?" I say to clear the silent air
"I've been hanging out with Maclean and Jordan a lot they are like my bros so we have been talking about moving in together we are split between LA and Vancouver" he says this like with a sort of questioning tone to see how I will react most likely.
"That sounds super awesome I hope you guys decide what y'all want to do and I hope what ever it is makes you happy"
"Yes we aren't for sure yet so just keep quiet about it please"
"Ok I-"
I was cut off by a knock on the door.
"PIZZA" Ryan shouts as he charges like a Viking toward the door.
I hear him fumbling with something (most likely his wallet) and opening the door.
"AWWW YOU ARENT PIZZA"
I hear laughter "I knew I could trick you"
His laugh is so contagious I can't help but smile as they walk into the living area where I am "hey Brain" I say standing up
"Hey America" he says hugging me
"Hey Ryan" Ryan says hugging himself
We all share a laugh and Ryan asks brain if he has heard from Mitch
"Yeah so here's the down low... Get this Mitch is hanging out with Jada right now he text told me he would be later"
I knew something was wrong with him... Jada was wrong with him.
Another knock on the door
"This time it better be pizza" Ryan states to no one in particularly he walks to the door
