As usual, I was alone and kicked back behind my computer screen. It was my twenty-first birthday, but what did that matter? I was going from chat room to chat room, even resorting to use of my old MSN and Yahoo! contacts. While looking through the lists, none of the screen names looked familiar. Only a few were on so I sent a message to all of them. *Bleep* I got a reply. It was from a charmedbabe@hotmail.com. How typical and stupid of a screen name, I guess I wasn't one to complain though. I sent the first message and my screen name was no better. The chat went pretty basic to start.
Myself: Hey there!
Her: Hello!
Myself: How are you dear?
There was a 5 minute pause. I went to close the chat, thinking it was pointless but right as my hand grabbed the mouse she started typing.
Her: I'm alright, are you?
Myself: Yes, why do you ask?
Her: Oh.. Oh, no reason. Just, that it's your birthday and you are here, doing this?
Myself: How did you know?
Her: Um, your profile.
That was strange but, okay, I will take it. I need company and saying anything was out of the question if I wanted to keep the conversation. I went to change the conversation but she started typing so I deleted what I had and waited.
Her: So why are you on here?
Myself: Just looking for company. Admittedly, kind of lonely, have been for a while.
Her: Well is there anyway I can help?
The worst question to answer honestly. I knew I had to lie and keep it basic.
Myself: I guess just stay for a friendly chat?
Her: How friendly do you like? ;)
I felt like I was getting led on, but found myself also starting to feel excited by the idea.
