The New Boy [boyxboy]

Chapter Five

                Now I’m sitting in bed writing in my diary because apparently divorce turns you emo, and simultaneously instant messaging Andie, who is very nervous about meeting Olivia on Saturday. She seems have done a complete one-eighty and really wants to impress the girl, going so far as to look up basic signs online, like “hello” and “how are you?” even though Dexter will be able to translate for us. I don’t know if she’s decided to be benevolent and accept this love rival into the group magnanimously, or if it’s some sort of sneaky girl trick to lull the deaf chick into a false sense of security. I’m going to ask.

22:30

I printed off our conversation because I can’t be bothered to re-write the whole thing.

AnDIE: You online?

AlexIsGay: When did you change my username to this?

AnDIE: Yesterday.

AnDIE: It’s funny because it’s true.

AlexIsGay: Sometimes it’s like you hate me.

AnDIE: I changed my username too.

AlexIsGay: I see that. I like how you’ve decided to become completely pathetically emo in the wake of Dexter’s revelation about his girlfriend.

AnDIE: I’m not the one writing in my diary every night.

AlexIsGay: Touché.

AnDIE: How’s your first night at your Dad’s new place going?

AlexIsGay: Okay. I mean. Nothing special. We watched Die Hard.

AnDIE: At least it wasn’t Wheel of Fortune re-runs. Casey’s dad started watching those after his divorce and then he subsequently had a breakdown and bought a Ferrari.

AlexIsGay: Heh. Yeah. So what do you think about this weekend?

AnDIE: I dunno… I hope she’s nice. I mean, how are we supposed to tell if she can’t talk to us?

AlexIsGay: She’s deaf, not mute.

AnDIE: Isn’t it the same thing? Anyway, I’ve been looking up how to say things to her online, since she can’t read lips. Sign language is haaaaard.

AlexIsGay: What are you trying to say?

AnDIE: Just hello and stuff. Basic greetings.

AlexIsGay: Why though?

AnDIE: Because I’m a nice person!

AlexIsGay: -_-‘

AnDIE: I am!

AlexIsGay: -_-‘

AnDIE: Whatever, ye of little faith.

AlexIsGay: I know you’re lying. What girl trickery do you have up your sleeve?

AnDIE: If I’m not prettier than her I need to have a better personality. And how much personality can you really have if you’re deaf?

AlexIsGay: That right there is proof of your lovely personality.

AnDIE: Shut up.

AlexIsGay: Seriously. I can’t believe you said that.

AnDIE: Why not? It’s like you hardly know me sometimes.

AlexIsGay: Herpderp.

AnDIE: Oh, go die in a hole!

AlexIsGay: I’m gonna print off this conversation and show it to Dexter.

AlexIIsGay has gone offline.

Hahaha! That should give her a good scare.

A/N: I wasn't even sure if I was going to enjoy writing this, but I really do. I started out writing stories with things like journal entries, etc, I'd forgotten how freeing the format is. Vote and comment!
