She accepted my gifts.
I know that it was only a game, and that everything wasn't really real.
We chatted for a while, and I had a poem that I made in school when I was bored, and typed it line by line in the chatbox, it took a few minutes, but she patiently waited for me to finish and hadn't typed anything. When I was done, I thought she was away or something, but she was still there, and told me that what I brought her earlier, and then the poem, she was deeply moved, that she was a bit embarrassed because a few tears fell, and her brother made fun of her. I'm sure to smack that guy later in PVP.
After that we went to different places in the game, like going on a date but just in the game of course. Took screenshots of places while sitting close to each other.
I am quite the happy guy that I hated so much before all of these. To be honest, I also felt quite blessed too, and gave a lot of thanks to the heavens above.
We went back to town after all those sightseeing and repaired our equipment, then rested for a bit. Time was also running out, as midnight was almost coming. I hope her brother didn't mind letting her play all day, but it was generous of him to let her play until now, considering that we both grind for hours in this game. Maybe he took a breather and perhaps did all his homework and stuff.
LittleHunter [time really flies fast]
Me [yeah... I thought it was only a few minutes]
LittleHunter [it's late already]
LittleHunter [...]
LittleHunter [^^]
Me [^__^]
LittleHunter [I]
LittleHunter [love]
LittleHunter [you]
.....
Then her character disappeared.
That got me off-guard and was speechless for a while. Silly girl, I didn't even had the time to reply to her.
My heart was feeling very strange and fuzzy I almost crouched myself at my seat while reading the log again and again. Hoping that she would come back after a while, I waited until midnight. Only, her brother was the one that logged in instead.
StarQuincy09 [hey bro]
StarQuincy09 [you're lucky to have my sis]
StarQuincy09 [did u know]
Me [yea?]
StarQuincy09 [she has 6 suitors at the school]
StarQuincy09 [the guys even treat me to lunch]
StarQuincy09 [even fights over her]
StarQuincy09 [it was worse when 6 beat up each other]
StarQuincy09 [she was there for a sec then they stopped]
StarQuincy09 [told her to decide already, but said no]
StarQuincy09 [so u really lucky]
Me [is she that beautiful?]
StarQuincy09 [if you like, I'd send u a pic]
StarQuincy09 [what's ur email?]
I gave him my email, and a few minutes later, an email was sent with a pic.
A girl had a yellow dress, holding a game console, was playing with it while lying on a sofa. Fully round small deep and black eyes, long hair that flowed to her back like a starry night sky with a shine that glowed with it, skin that was almost like snow, and her body signaled almost adoloscence was finished, which made her curves a bit refined but with a certain feel of youth to it.
It wasn't a stretch to call her the most beautiful girl that I've seen so far in my sixteen years of life. No wonder six guys would fight over for her, I bet those six are some men that I won't be able to afford to offend with my measly frame. Well, I could always just resort to...
Looking back again at the pic, I quickly saved it on my phone and made it my wallpaper. I once found an anime that said that you would be eternal lovers with the person on the wallpaper but it didn't end well; I hope my story doesn't end like that though.
I checked back the game and I had a lot of PMs from her bro and in the end I saw that he'd go to sleep now. A lot of time must have also passed when I was mesmerized with only from just the pic, how about if I met her physically? I don't dare imagine what would happen to me.....
The next day.
I secretly brought my phone to school, and peeked at it from within the bag in every break time. Almost everybody does this anyway, so why can't I? This was the first time I brought it to school anyway.
"Hey, I can't help but notice it, but did you bring a phone?" A guy's voice suddenly greeted me in shock, and I immediately eyed him and let out a relief. My best friend was standing on the side of my seat, his back towards me. I hope no one heard what he said.
"Nah, this is just a chick I happened to pickup on the way here. Seeing that it was pitiful and lost, it was running all over the place and I couldn't find any traces of the group, so I took it. I was just hoping it didn't pooped inside so I check everytime a teacher goes out..." A blatant lie. Oh well, he'll know about this sooner or later.
School ended, and I met with my best friend, then grabbed him by the shoulder and whispered, "I now have a gf. This a secret, OK?"
He is the only one I could trust right now besides my PC. He transfered schools so late in the year, but we got along well. I was wondering why is that, but it just happened that his bro and my bro were classmates, and that we went on the same school a few years ago but in different classes so we never met. I once saw his name though, and it was on the honored students list, remembered and told him about it, then we talked a lot. He became my best friend since then, and I invite him in my place frequently too.
"Oh so that's why...!" He was grinning from ear to ear, and smiled at me in a weird way. While we were walking towards my place, he instead stopped and turned around.
"You should spend more time with her. The early stages of your couple's life shouldn't be interrupted by this one. I hope for your happiness, man." He even tapped my shoulder and was smiling happily. I know he's proud of me because of the look in his eyes, and he knows my situation quite well. With this, I can't help but reveal a wide smile, and clasped his hand firmly.
"Thanks man. I'll let you know about it more tomorrow. The school year's ending soon anyway. There's lesser time for classes, and more for reviews, and you know me!"
I wasn't an honor student but my grades were quite well. I'm proud to say I review only about 10% of the time but still get decent grades. I could be one if I tried to, too, but it's just that I'm too lazy and took time gaming instead.
We bid each other farewell then went home. I was quite a bit later than usual because we took time having conversation earlier, but it's fine. I was still early as usual.
A few minutes later logging in to the game, the user StarQuincy09 wasn't online, neither was LittleHunter. I was bored but it wasn't only until an hour later that only she got in to the game. It took quite a while, and waiting was like eternity but here she comes.
Me [last night...]
Me [you didn't let me reply]
LittleHunter [I know...]
LittleHunter [it's just that]
LittleHunter [I was so happy]
LittleHunter [I might explode from the words]
LittleHunter [my bro saw me covering my face in front of the keyboard]
LittleHunter [then he startled me with a tickle on the side]
LittleHunter [I couldn't sleep last night]
LittleHunter [and on school.....]
LittleHunter [hahhh.......]
Me [^__^]
Me [I love you too]
There was silence for a while. My heart also stopped beating, and it felt heavy, but it was a happy feeling. I didn't know what this feeling was until now, but I hoped it would stay forever. It felt like nothing could stop me from whatever comes. This... is love? No wonder people are so crazy about it.
Me [did you know.,]
Me [your bro sent me ur pic last night]
Me [couldn't believe it]
LittleHunter [which pic was it?]
Me [that I had a beautiful girl]
Me [ah]
LittleHunter [if it's you saying it, it makes me so happy]
Me [it's the one you play with a game]
LittleHunter [eh?]
Me [on a sofa?]
LittleHunter [ehhhhhh?? >__<]
LittleHunter [I'm not beautiful in that pic]
LittleHunter [go delete it]
LittleHunter [deleteeeeeeeeeee]
Me [are you sure? but]
Me [you're so beautiful in it though :/]
LittleHunter [but... Ehhhhhhhhh]
LittleHunter [I'll send u a better one, so just.....]
Me [alright alright, send me what u prefer]
LittleHunter [but you should also send me yours]
LittleHunter [^^]
Me [... Alright]
Me [here's my email...]
Me [wait, tell me your email too]
We exchanged addresses and sent each other a pic. I sent one of the ordinary pics that I had, sadly, I don't like what I currently look like. Somehow I felt fear that I would get rejected, and I felt cold sweat when her reply took too long ingame.
The pic she sent however, was something I could barely imagine. Digital media is amazing. I could try to edit someone to be very beautiful, but her beauty is unprecedented. The world might even fade if compared to her. This is her... right now? The picture her brother sent was quite young, but this image I received contained an elegant young adult. She had no make up but her face is naturally beautiful already. It feels like even the angels would come down once again and swoop a human with a perfect beauty to offer it to heaven. Was this even allowed to exist in this world? It wouldn't be a stretch to say that she would be better after a few years. Countless men would definitely try their best just to make her smile. Definitely, definitely.
While I, an ordinary guy, with a normal body, was even allowed to be loved by this girl. If those guys knew, I...
I snapped back to reality and check the game, and there was still no chat from her. I was feeling afraid that she'd break up with me straightaway after seeing my pathetic self.
Me [you still there?]
Me [I received the pic.....]
Me [and also made it my wallpaper]
Me [words really can't describe how beautiful you are]
Me [your bro told me that six guys even fought because of you]
Me [but they stopped once they saw you]
It was quite a while before she replied, or was it because time only felt longer if I waited? But it hasn't even been two minutes since we exchanged pictures.
LittleHunter [your appearance...]
