"If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? - you know"

"My pinkies, you? - tgitb

"Did you abbreviate yourself? Also, your pinkies?" - c

"Yes, my alias is too long and pinkies are crooked. I think it's from using them to hold my phone.. Anyway, why so talkative? As you might have heard we are having a test this week." - YOU KNOW

"Well that's odd. I'm just exhausted and can't pay attention. I also don't feel to well." - c

"I don't blame you, what happened to your eye ? If you don't mind me asking. You should really get some rest." - eh

•

I reread our conversation to remember what happened on Friday. I focused my eyes to his. He really did look drained. His eye looked even worse.
•
"Nothing I'm fine. What are you doing after school?" - c

"Are you sure? And probably more school lol
:(" - mee

It took a long time before I got the paper back with only a few words written.

" Yes, my brother and I just got into a fight. Haha me too. What's your next class?" - c

•

I looked over the words written on the page. Wow. He told the "me" on the paper, but not me face to face. I read the conversation again. Was this getting to out of hand? He would have never told me anything about what happened if he knew that the girl in the back was Me, Veronica MERRELL. If he were to find out it was me, would he think this was a cruel joke? I would never tell anyone what Collins would tell me, but sadly with me sisters reputation, that's the judgement that kind of sticks with me. I looked down at the paper one last time to write something.

•

" Math. Your brother did that? Why were you guys fighting?" - GITB

And I sent it off.

I watched as he read the letter, he had a smile on his face? Nothing in that letter was cheery.

"So I know that the girl I am looking for is in this class, then goes to Math class after and sits in the back :). Narrowing it down!!" - accomplished Collins

Ooooh. I didn't even realize I wrote that down. And he didn't even respond to my questions about his brother.

"Haha nice!" - me

Haha. Nice.

"What is going to happen once I find out who you are? Do I confront you in person and stop sending the letters?"

•

Huh, I haven't thought about that yet. Writing the paper air plane was a spur of the moment decision. Who thought he would respond.

I chuckled to myself and continued writing.

•

"Nooo, wouldn't have to stop writing. Maybe we can meet up and talk in person. Only if you wanted :)!" - the girl you will NEVER find :)

"That sounds great. Only if you want to." - Collins
