CHAPTER EIGHT(CONTINUATION)...

CHATBOX...

Emily: by the way, let me tell you something. OH. MY. GOD.

After that, Sheena called me. I guess she wants to talk about it verbally.

Sheena: what is it?
Emily: uhh, okay. You notice that yesterday night in our call, I was acting weird?
Sheena: yeah yeah yeah?
Emily: it's because... *sigh* I like someone here. And I can't get enough of them.. that's why I was really like, crazy.
Sheena: ooh, you're having a crush? What's his name?
Emily: that's something I'm not ready to tell yet! But, I'll show you our conversation.
Sheena: but does he like you too?
Emily: yeah! And no denies, I have all the clues to my answer.
Sheena: how did you find out?
Emily: by this message!

I sent Sheena a screenshot of Jeremy's message when he said that I'm beautiful. But of course, I censored his nickname and profile picture. I'm not ready to reveal his identity just yet.

Sheena: ooh! I don't know his name and face yet, but I can tell you guys have serious chemistry.~
Emily: hah, wow. You sarcastic or..?
Sheena: I'm serious! Like, wow!
Emily: and.. We're best friends too at the same time. We're always the one together when we play..
Sheena: ayeeee!
Emily: *chuckles*
Sheena: BUT, little dare, you have to tell me his name and send me a picture of his face.
Emily: what?! No! No, no, no, no, no. My parents check my conversations, and if they see..
Sheena: they'll understand! What makes you so scared of that?
Emily: they know who he is! If they find out that I'm crushing on him, I'm-
Sheena: just, you have to send me a picture of his face and tell me his name as well.
Emily: ugh Sheena, you're such a creep!
Sheena: by the way, I have some questions to ask you. About your guy.
Emily: umm, okay?
Sheena: okay, these questions are a big help. It's for my approval!
Emily: approval for what?
Sheena: approval if he fits you, and before he becomes your boyfriend.
Emily: boyfriend?! You're crazy!
Sheena: shush! First question.. how old is he?
Emily: he's also sixteen, but two months older than me.
Sheena: uh huh. Is he tall?
Emily: yeah! Pretty much the same height as me, to be honest. *chuckles nervously*
Sheena: okay then, but I'd prefer a guy taller your size.
Emily: at least he's not so small!
Sheena: third question, is he funny?
Emily: super! He have his own kind of humor and silly mind.
Sheena: is he smart?
Emily: just the in between! He's smart, but at the same time he's not dumb either.
Sheena: dumb people don't exist anyway, but lazy people do.
Emily: laziness is actually a sign of intelligence!
Sheena: next question, is he handsome or charming or whatevs?
Emily: YES HE'S SERIOUSLY GOOD-LOOKING! Oh, uhm.. yeah.
Sheena: *chuckles* next, does he have an IG or Twitter?
Emily: I'm not sure, but I guess no.
Sheena: and last question, is he perfect?
Emily: nobody's perfect, but he's already enough for me.
Sheena: you're quoting!

Suddenly, the internet connection became weak and it can't handle messenger calls so the call accidentally dropped. Oh cmon, me and Sheena are having such a good time of our own!

CHATBOX...

Sheena: WHAT THE HELL WHY DID YOU DROP IT?!
Emily: chill! It wasn't me, it's the wifi.
Sheena: oh, sorry. Anyway, for my approval..

I'd rather distract her than to hear her say that Jeremy and I are meant to be with each other or all those other crazy stuff..

Emily: oh yeah! Sheena, Sheena!
Sheena: what what what?
Emily: you wanted to know his name and see his face, right?
Sheena: yeah!
Emily: I found a way without looking like a creep or without me having to get caught by my parents!
Sheena: his Facebook account?
Emily: you guessed it.
Sheena: alright then, I'll check his account ASAP!
Emily: he also have something to admit to me tomorrow..
Sheena: ooh! Tomorrow? I'm so proud of my little Em-Em!
Sheena: my little evil girl is growing up!
Emily: whoa, calm down!
Sheena: I'm looking forward to that!
Emily: anyway, I'm sleeping.
Sheena: alright then! You guys hang out everyday, right?
Emily: yeah! Why so?
Sheena: make sure you message me all the juicy details and updates about you and your guy! As in, all of them.
Emily: sure, why not?
Sheena: okay then, bye!
Emily: bye!
