I stared at his name longer than necessary. I checked to see if he was online. Lucky me, he was. Unlike most girls I wasn’t nervous about talking to random guys. It came naturally to me.
Me: Do I know you?
Ryder: I don’t think so. What school do you go to?
Me: Warren High School.
Ryder: Really? Me too!
Me: No way! What grade are you in?
Ryder: I’m a sophomore. You?
Me: I’m a sophomore too! So we’re in the same grade and we go to the same school and we don’t know each other?
Ryder: It’s because of my ninja skills. You can’t see me because I’m just so fast.
Me: Oh really now? I’m a witch you know.
Ryder: That’s a shame
Me: Why so?
Ryder: Don’t you know that witches and ninjas can’t be friends?
Me: You want to be friends?
Ryder: Of course.
Me: Well aren’t ninjas known for being bad ass?
Ryder: Yes.
Me: Then we can be friends silly.
Ryder: How?
Me: No one needs to know. That way we don’t get in trouble.
Ryder: Alright.
The was a sudden sound of a car. I felt uneasy and the room started to spin.
Me: I’m sorry new friend but I need to go.
Ryder: Oh okay. I guess we shall speak tomorrow then. Have a good night.
I reread the conversation and smiled at the fact that we pretended to be ninjas and witches. I felt happy talking to this boy and I couldn’t wait for tomorrow. I quickly shut off the computer and grabbed a book to read just as the front door opened. Her footsteps echoed in the silent house. She was coming.
“Reading again?” Her voice was bitter. I nodded. The book went flying across the room. Hitting the wall. “Go to bed.” She walked out slamming the door behind her.
As quietly as possible I retrieved the book from the floor and place on the shelf. Switching on my nightlight I curled up in a ball and fell asleep.
