Well, Facebook's fun, I guess. The games are terrible, but it's a good way to talk to people. And I even got a few friend requests.
Don't know you. Don't know you. Don't want to know you...Hey, that's Sophia!
I click on one friend request from Sophia Allen and accept it. Immediately, I go to her page.
It looks like she's had this for a long time. The posts go back three years. Most of the time, profile pictures are plain. "Cool" guys take a picture of them with a motorcycle or in black and white. Girls have pictures of all of their friends, or family. But, Sophia's is different. But perfect at the same time. She's just lying down on her stomach with her arms crossed and her head lying, lazily, against her forearms, those beautiful eyes staring right at me. It looks like she's in a park or a forest because there are trees and grass around her. The sunlight is shining down on her beautiful face, lighting it up for all to see.
"Who's that?!"
"WAAH!" I scream as I fall down.
I frantically stand and minimize the document. Jesus, Hannah, why don't you be a little louder next time?
"Who was that, Nick?"
"Nobody important, Hannah. Just a friend."
"Is it your girlfriend?"
You're 8, Hannah. You shouldn't be talking like that.
"No, Hannah. She's just a new student at school and we're friends now. Just friends. Now, have you finished your homework?"
"Yeah, I have, Nick! I have! Can I go play outside?"
I have a look out the window. It's kind of bright out.
"Sure, but don't stay out too late, and don't leave the yard, alright?"
"Okay, Nick!" And with that, she scurries off.
I reopen my document and see a chat message was sent to me. From Sophia.
God, I can feel myself bubbling up with happiness. She wants to talk to me! Sophia Allen wants to talk to Nick Carter!
So, here's how I conversation went:
Sophia Allen:Hey, Nick.
Nick Carter:Hi, Sophia. How are you?
Sophia Allen:I'm fine, how are you?
Nick Carter:I'm doing great.
Nick Carter:So, are you excited for that date with Tyler?
Sophia Allen:Well, sure.
Nick Carter:Don't bother lying, Sophia. I've known Tyler for years, someone like you wouldn't want to date someone like him.
Sophia Allen:You know him?
Nick Carter:He's kinda my best friend.
Sophia Allen:Oh. I didn't know that.
Sophia Allen:What did you mean when you said "someone like me"?
Nick Carter:Oh, it's nothing.
Sophia Allen:Tell me! What did you mean?
Nick Carter:You know. Someone nice, cute, and amazing.
She didn't type anything for a minute or two after that. Then this happened:
Sophia Allen:Thanks.
Nick Carter:No problem.
She went offline after that. Not sure if it was because of what I said or just coincidence. And here's the doorbell. Obviously, that's Annie here for our fake date.
I walk up to the door and open it for her. Sure enough, there she is in a semi-formal dress and a little makeup.
"You look good, Annie. Ready to go?" I ask.
"Sure thing, Nick."
I call into the house, "Hannah?"
"Yeah?" She calls back.
"I'm gonna be gone for a little while! Don't let anyone else in while I'm gone, okay?"
"Okaaay!"
And with that, Annie and I head off.
