Country E, was one of the c thriving countries in the world now. Apparently, planet Earth, had a total of 26 countries. Once, a long time ago, Earth had more than 200 countries, but after the word war that happened 20 years ago, (2200), it was now reduced to a mere 26. However, each of these countries were large enough to be classified as continents. Country E was one of the largest countries, with most of their lands used to build state of the art stadiums. The country took its sports seriously, expecially it's Football.
The buildings in country E had ancient structures , with modern technologies. Running while enjoying the view of this country with ancient history, John didn't know when he had ran the 10km daily quest. He only realized this when he heard a ding from his system. Stopping by the road, John checked his system interface.
[ Daily quest:
Run 10 km
Reward: 10 xp ]
Closing his system interface with a sigh, John decided to make his way home, and by bus that is. Although 10 xp was little to what he had gained from the match tryouts, John still welcomed this little improvements. John preferred to take little steps, to remaining stagnant.
Making his way to the nearest bus stop, Phone in pocket connected to his Airpod, John had a blast. When he got to the Bus stop, John had to wait for less than a minute before he saw a bus. Entering the bus in a hurry, John sat at the first available seat he could find. John didn't like taking the subway because the struggle was tougher, and the subway station was home to most hoodlums.
Making himself comfortable, John turned to his left to at least say hello to the person that had taken the window seat. With an outstretched hand, John turned to his left, with the hope of initiating a hand shake, only to freeze Midway.
' A Girl '. He was sitting beside a girl. John would have not fret if it was any other girl, but this was not any other girl, she was the one he had met at school, when he went to check the results of the try outs.
John quickly comported himself, not wanting to look bad in front of the girl that had made him feel something after a long time, after that heartbreaking incident.
" Hi, I'm John ", John said in what to him was a soft tone, with his hands still stretched. " Mercy ", she replied without any emotion. Mercy hesitated a little before finally deciding to take John's hand.
When John made contact, he was marvelled by how soft her hands felt, John unconsciously treated her hand like an egg, as though if he even exerted little pressure her bones would be broken, and that was definitely a bad thing. " Nice to meet you, So where do you stay " John asked while trying to avoid looking into those clear crystal blue eyes. " Stardust City ", replied.
John's heart jumped, although it was pretty obvious since they both attended the same school, Stardust High, but he didn't expect her to actually live in the city, apparently not anyone could live there, it was either you had a house there, or your family had a house there. " Same ", John uttered.
Although he was surprised, he was over it in a second. He instead saw this as an opportunity to upgrade his relationship status from Single. An opportunity he had to grab. He couldn't deny he was already smitten by The Beauty Of Country E. This girl..... eeeeerrrr... Country was just so beautiful.
