Six: Getting to Know Each Other

♠ Troy Milton ♠

I signed in chatmates.com and saw her online.

youdontknowwhoiam_18: Hi :)

❁ Kimberly Wales ❁

I was lazing in bed and I got up my feet and raced to the screen of my laptop.

It's him.

youdontknowwhoiam_18: Hi :)

I can't help but smile and I really wanted to know more about him.

dontbotherme: Hello :) So um.. I'm just wondering what's your name..

Shoot!

Did I just sound desperate?!

I hope not.

Wait, I just asked his name.

That's all.

*Ding*

youdontknowwhoiam_18: Why?

dontbotherme: I don't know.. I'm just asking since we've been talking to each other..

No way.

She's asking for my name.

Should I tell her? Should I?

I'm not so sure.

But what if she comes to hunt me down?

What if that's the case?!

I typed in my reply on the keyboard.

*Tap tap tap*

I'm sorry.

I need to lie so I used my best friend's name.

Tyler.

I excitedly opened the chat box and it says..

youdontknowwhoiam_18: Tyler.

Tyler..

It's a very nice name.

It sounds like a cute guy's too.

Speaking of, there's a Tyler in our school too.

How cool is that?

Not to mention, he is actually my crush since I was in fourth grade but of course feelings fade and I don't like him anymore.

Before I could picture out how he looks like, another message appeared.

*Ding*

youdontknowwhoiam_18: Yours? :)

Oh my golly, what do I say?

Should I say my real name?

But what if he appears to be a bad guy?

Well, he said his name, didn't he?

So should I say mine?

Gawd, this is so mind blowing!

dontbotherme: Can I say my nickname instead?
