I JUST RE-WROTE THIS WHOLE NOVEL, SO IF YOUR THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO LIKES TO READ OTHER PEOPLES COMMENTS THEN SOME OF THEM MAY BE CONFUSING BECAUSE THEY ARE MOSTLY FROM THE OLD VERSION OF THIS NOVEL. ENJOY :)

It was 6 o 'clock in the evening, and the sun was setting slowly out of the sky leaving the town in a premature darkness. I had logged on to a chat site to cure my boredom while my mom was downstairs curing her depression by drinking. I was looking through the list of people who were online when a pop up appeared on my screen.

Derek26: Hey

XxEmoHeartxX: Hey

Derek26: A/S/L?

XxEmoHeartxX: 16/f/usa

I didn’t even think twice about giving some random person my information.

Derek26: Wow! Really? I'm 16/m/usa, what state do you live in?

I was a little hesitant at first but then typed my response.

XxEmoHeartxX: Minnesota

Derek26: I live in MN too!

XxEmoHeartxX: Really? What town?

Derek26: I'm not telling you…you could be a stalker!

XxEmoHeartxX: I'm not a stalker! I just wanted to know if I actually knew you before now...

I laughed as his comment.

Derek26: Well what's your name?

XxEmoHeartxX: Mandi

Derek26: I don't think I know a Mandi

XxEmoHeartxX: Well can I know your name or are you a secret under cover spy?

Derek26: Derek

XxEmoHeartxX: Well I don't think I know a Derek

Derek26: You do now!

His comment made me laugh but I wasn't sure what to say.

Derek26: So can I ask you a question?

XxEmoHeartxX: You can ask me anything you want. However, I can’t promise I’ll answer.

Derek26: Are you pretty?

XxEmoHeartxX: That's a trick question

Derek26: What do you mean?

XxEmoHeartxX: If I say yes I'm conceited and if I say no I have no self esteem.

Derek26: Your very smart! Can you describe to me what you look like then?

XxEmoHeartxX: I'm about 5' 5", and 115 pounds. I have long stick straight black hair, and hazel eyes.

Derek26: I hope you don't mind me saying this but you sound very pretty!

XxEmoHeartxX: Thanks...so what do you look like?

Derek26: Well I’m 6' 3", and weigh about 210 pounds. All my weight comes from my football playing muscle. I have shaggy brown hair, and deep blue eyes.

Ugh! I hate football playing jocks!

XxEmoHeartxX: You play football?

Derek26: Hell yes!

XxEmoHeartxX: So you’re a jock...

Derek26: Well, I suppose that would make me a jock, yes.

XxEmoHeartxX: Sorry, I don't talk to football playing, arm wrestling, and think they know it all jocks! Plus I'm emo and in the words of a few jocks who have stepped off their pedestal to talk to me "our kind hates your kind"...so good bye talk to you never!'

I knew that what I had said was way judge mental but I didn’t care. In my eyes all jocks were the same. Just as I was about to log off he typed something else.

Derek26: WAIT!

Wait? Now he thinks he can tell me what to do...typical jock! He expects me to do what he tells me to do? I don't even do what the police tell me to do! Before I could stop myself I had responded.

XxEmoHeartxX: What?

Derek26: I'm not like the other jocks! The only reason I play football is because it's the only way to get out of the house for a few more hours! Please don't stop talking to me! The only reason I said that stupid thing about the football playing muscles is because girls usually like that sort of thing! I just wanted to impress you because you sound really pretty and your really nice! Please don't hate me...

XxEmoHeartxX: How do I know your not lying?

Derek26: Well...your just going to have to trust me!

XxEmoHeartxX: We met like 20 minutes ago and you want me to trust you?

Derek26: Please Mandi

XxEmoHeartxX: Well...I guess I could talk to you for a little while longer...

Derek26: Hip hip hurray!

I laughed a little.

XxEmoHeartxX: So what do you do for fun?
