MineCraft High

Chapter 7: How To Cope Like a Real Person By Aequal

Aequals POV
I take a few deep breath. Nope. I'm not freaking out. I'm not a simple birch who freaks out like in every cliche story. No, I'm going to be unique. I shake my head and look back up at my parents. They seem to be judging my reaction.
"Actually", I balance my words carefully. "It's not that bad."
My parents look at me surprised.
"Are his parents telling him today as well?"
"Yes." My mother answers.
As if on on que, my phone starts going off in my pocket. I sigh.
"I need to take this." I hurry from the room, out onto the back deck. I hit answer, then pinning my phone between my ear and shoulder as I shove my feet into my flip flops.
"Hello?"
"Aequal." It's Herobrine. He sounds subdued.
"Hey. Is something wrong?"
"Didn't they tell you?"
I feel as if, in this moment, I have a few choices. Tell him yes and hit another cross road. Hang up. Or play dumb. I like the last one.
"Who? About what?"
I hear Herobrine sigh.
"Your parents. About the prophecy."
"What prophecy?"
I walk over to the porch swing and plop down on it, pushing off. As I rock, I muffle my giggles on my wrist as I hear him grumble and mutter curses.
"Nothing." He says finally.
"You have to tell me now." I state, fully relaxing on the seat.
"Fine. There-there's this prophecy. You probably know about the first part. It's the one about-about us and Notch."
"Mhmm." I say encouragingly.
"Apparently there's this other part about u-us."
"What about us?" I almost can't contain my laughter.
"We are supposed to fall in love or some shit." He whispers and I can imagine him blushing and hiding his face.
"You sound so cute right now. Are you blushing?"
"Aequal? This is not the time for fucking around."
"I thought you liked 'fucking around' with girls?" I shoot back cooly*.
He growls.
"Also, when did you actually start using my name?"
"You're a bitch, you know?"
"So I've been told. And Hero, I already heard about the prophecy."
I hear a noise of anger and I scramble for the 'end call' button laughing my ass off. I lay on the swing, gasping for breath, clutching my stomach, as I continue to laugh. A dark shadow appears over me. I look up and see a very angry, glowering Herobrine. This just fuels my laughter.
"You should see your face." I stammer through laughs.
I'm laughing so hard I barely notice it when Hero stoops down and scoops me up.
"I can't believe you made me tell you that whole damn prophecy you little whore." He grumps.
"Oh, I'm the whore?" I toss back.
"Yes."
I move. Wrapping my legs around his neck, I swing around, leaning back down to grab his ankles, pulling them together. He grunts, falling forwards, barely catching himself. I let go, tumbling off him and turning it into a role. I end up lying on my back next to him.
"I think we have a long way to go before we fall in love."

*As in "It's cool out today", not exactly cold, but not warm.

Short chapter. Sorry. Also, Minecraft High is almost at 1k. What?! Thank you all so much :)
Anyway, if you like the way Aequal Herobrine interact, you should read my other story, Winter's Night *wink wink nudge nudge*
