-Chapter Two-

I shifted my body farther away from Danielle so she wouldn't be able to see the screen of my iPhone. 

I typed in a quick "Who the heck are you?" Before I pressed send. I waited eagerly for the anonymous texter to reply, but I didn't get a new message until at least ten minutes later. When my phone vibrated in my hands, I jumped, coming out of my thoughts.

"This isn't Kelly?" It read.

"Uh, no... But I still want to know who you are! Who are you!?"

"Never mind then. Bye, I guess." 

What? You can't just do that!? Wait, yes you can.... But still! I wanted to know who this guy, or gir,l is!

"No, answer my question. Do I know you?"

"Do you know a Jake Carter?" I'm guessing it was a he, then. 

"Uh, no..." 

"Then, that answers your question ;)" 

Don't wink at me! I don't even know you! "How did you get this number...?"

"My idiot of a friend gave me the wrong number, I guess." Jake replied. 

"But explain to me this: Why in the world would your friend give you a number that is from Florida, when you live across the country?"

"I guess you're expecting a back-story now?" 

Well, duh! Before I could even press the reply button, my phone vibrated again. "My friend and I used to live in Florida, and when we were younger, we met a girl named Kelly. She was our best friend, blah, blah. I just wanted to get in touch with her again."

 


Hmm... That makes a little sense. "You're weird."

 

"You don't even know me -.-" He replied.

"I don't care." 

"Don't judge a book by a cover."

"Who said you were a book?" I pushed. 

" -_- Bye."

"Whatever, I'm going to go watch The Big Bang Theory anyways. So bye!" I sighed, staring at my phone. Secretly, I was hoping that he would reply soon. 

An hour later, he didn't. I guess that's what the meaning of 'bye' is, right? Oh well, it's not like I know him! The TV turned into background noise as my thoughts consumed me. 

Why do I want him to text me back? Because I'm bored? Maybe. 

My phone vibrated in my back pocket. Was it him? Retrieving my phone, I quickly turned it on. To my surprise, it was him. "You watch that show?"

 

"Yeah, got a problem with it?" Okay, that sounded really rude. 

 

"No! I love that show! What episode are you watching?" he replied quickly. 

It's funny, because I don't even know the answer to that question. It's not like I was paying attention. . .  Looking up to the TV, I noticed that it was the episode when Leonard, Raj, and Howard go out to see a meteor shower. Once I had replied, I began to actually watch the show. 

"I love that episode!" Jake replied after a few minutes. "Aw, its not on :(" 

"*It's. And I'm watching it on On Demand, smarty." Did that sound a little bit mean? I'm sure he wouldn't care. 

"Well, then. And in fact, I am a 'smarty'. Straight A student, actually ;)"

 

"Stop winking at me!"

 

"I'm not, my phone is ;)"

 

"Okay, bye Jake!"

 

"Aw... ;("

 

"ARGH! Stop that! You're irritating." 

 

"Then why are you texting me?"

Uh... Um... Am I supposed to have a good reason? Well, if I was, I don't have one. "Idk, why am I texting you?" 

"I can't answer that." He replied. Well, duh. 

"*Thinks really hard* I honestly have no idea."

"Well then, that's settled! I'm texting a stranger for no reason ;)"

"STOP WINKING AT ME!!" I grunted in frustration, but I couldn't help but smile. Ugh, what the heck? 

 

"Why?"

Hmm... Because it's really annoying!? "Would you want to wink at another guy?"

 

"........." Ha! I knew he would be speechless! "You're not a guy, though." 

"How do you know? I never told you if I was a guy or a girl." I stated simply.

"You're too obnoxious and girl-like to be a dude." 

Did he just call me obnoxious?

I decided to copy his words."Don't judge a book by its cover."  

"Who said you were a book?" 

Narrowing my eyes at the screen of my cell phone, I typed a reply. "Shut it, mister." 

 

"So you are a girl?"

 

"Duh."

 

"What's your name?"

 

"I'm not telling you. For all I know, you could be a stalker or something. . ."

 

"I'm not any of those.... (Muahaha) ..... ANYWAYS! What's your name?"

 

"Why do you want to know?" I mused. 

"It's called curiosity. Plus, I told you my name, didn't I?"

 

"Whatever. It's Alexandria. But if you must, you can call me Alex."

 

"Okay :) Well, I have to go." He replied.

What? Why? "Where are you going?"

 

"Surfing."

 

"You know how to surf?"

 

"No, I don't know how to surf but I'm going surfing. ;) Of course I know how to." 

 

"Okay, well bye, I guess."

 

"I'll talk to you later, Alex :)"

 

I didn't reply. Talk to me later...? What's that supposed to mean?

It means he'll talk to me later! Duh, what else? I smiled to myself.

Why? I have no idea.

Hey, I updated! Thanks to you guys who commented and voted! Really means a lot, I guess :) Kay, well bye!
