Meeting the Captain

Hey! Sorry for the wait, I have school and I'm also sick (boo). No extra comments here, except that if you do not know who Captainsparklez is, check him out on YouTube (www.youtube.com/captainsparklez) or look him up on google~ Anyways, here we are, the next chapter!

[-----------------------------------------]

It was dark when I finally got there. I was tired, but nevertheless, I had to unload my things. The apartment was already pre-paid and I didn't have to see the landlady. The apartment was pretty big, and underneath it had a parking lot. The bright fluorescent lights shone on my car as I rolled into the parking lot. It was much like the apartment that my family had when we were at the lowest point in my life, but as I thought about it, an icy arrow raced through my heart and I erased the memory from my mind.

I got out of the car just as another car was parking right next to mine. I took out my three big bags from the trunk just as a voice sounded from my right.

"Hey, are you moving into this apartment?"

I looked up to see a rather handsome looking guy about my age. My heart skipped a beat and I tried not to look nervous.

"Yeah," I said, "do you live here?" Well, probably. I said to myself almost after I said it.

He nodded, "I'm Jordan." He said, offering a hand. I put my luggage on the ground and shook his hand. It was strong but gentle.

"I'm Caelyn," I said, "nice to meet you Jordan."

He then took up a bag and I slightly smiled. "Oh no need to help," I said, taking up the two other bags. It was such a nice gesture to do to someone who you didn't even know. As the thought formed in my head, I blushed.

"I insist." He said. I just accepted his help and we made our way to the apartment. He's a nice guy, I thought, I wonder if he's in college. We walked over to the elevator. With his free hand, he pressed the button and the door opened.

"Which floor are you on?" He asked as we stepped inside.

"Second." I replied, settling down my bags and reaching for the button. I pressed it before he got to it and our hands accidentally touched. I blushed once more, but withdrew my hand quickly, seeing that Jordan did the same. To ease the tension, I started on a rather simple subject.

"Are you still in college? Or do you have a job?" I was the type to not really engage in conversation with others, as I was usually the shy person, but he seemed really sweet and I felt safe around him. Of course, he also gave me the butterflies, and I was brave enough to look into his eyes as I asked.

"I have a job." He said, not elaborating. I raised my eyebrows at him in question. "Well, it's kind of a job, but I'm a YouTuber under the name Captainsparklez." He finished, seeming slightly embarrassed. 

 And now it hit me. Sure, I wasn't usually on the internet, since my mom was very strict about it and I was a very good girl, but I had seen an animation of Minecraft on YouTube. I was confused and I had done a tiny bit of research, but all I had gotten was that it was a video game and the maker of the animation had the username of 'Captainsparklez.'

"Oh, I think I've seen one of your videos." I said, trying to remember what it was about. His embarrassed expression gave way a relieved and happy smile. "Really, which one?" He asked, just as the elevator doors opened. I took up my bags and we walked out.

"Umm, I think it had the word revenge in the title." I was still trying to remember what had happened in the video. "I'm sorry, it's been a while since I watched it." I said, seeing the slightly crestfallen look on Jordan's face and feeling guilty.

"Nah, it's fine." He said, "where's your room?"

"10." I said as we turned around the corner to see a sign that said 'rooms 7 & 8 ←' '→rooms 9 & 10'.

"Hey, your room is next to mine." Jordan commented as we got to my door.

"Oh." Was all I could say, since I was flustered. Next to mine? Wow, then I'll have to see him every day. I felt a mixture of slight terror and happiness in my stomach as I got out the key and opened the apartment.  It was very bare, as the furniture had not been shipped yet. Even so, there wouldn't be much furniture. My family was poor and we barely had anything.

I walked over to what would become my 'bedroom' and put my luggage on the ground. "You could just put my bag over here." I called to Jordan. He came over and put my bag next to the rest.

"Well, thank you for your help Jordan." I said, slightly smiling at him.

"No problem." He said, then glanced around the room. "Uh, since you don't have a place to sleep, you could sleep on my couch in my rooms." He offered in a slightly awkward way.

I blushed and shook my head. "It's fine, I'm used to sleeping on hard places." It was true. They had moved various times and sometimes they had to sleep on the ground. We walked to the door.

"Well, uh, bye." I said.

"Bye, see you later." He said. I hope so.
