She looked at the clock. She could have sworn it was 6 o clock 10 minutes ago, but now it was two hours later. She now realized that's she has been on her white Macintosh computer all day. She stretched out her back, which was sore, and ran her fingers through her shoulder-length blond hair. She closed her AOL mailbox and was about to disconnect when an alert sound was made from her computer. She clicked over to her instant messaging buddylist to find that Innocence29 had sent her a message.
" Hello, MsGhostRyder."
Smiling, she put her hands back on the keys and typed, " Hello, dork."
Innocence29 was a guy she had met in a Michael Jackson chatroom the other day. At times, he was quite annoying because he always tried to persuade fans that he was the King Of Pop. He wasn't very convincing either. He always used corny cliches from Michael's videos.
" Dork? Why are you so mean?" A sad face was displayed next to his message.
She laughed out loud. "LOL Are you just trying to annoy me, or do you have something to say?." She typed.
" Well, I like you. Besides, there's no need to be rude."
She rolled her eyes as she typed, " Stop pretending to be Michael Jackson.."
After a long moment, Innocence29 said, " LOL"
Thinking for a moment, she typed, " And you like me? We only talked for a few minutes yesterday."
" LOL Well how about we get to know each other? What's your name?"
She sighed and typed, "Crystal. What's yours?" After a minute, there was no answer.
"Hello?" Crystal typed, puzzled.
Another moment passed and then Innocence29 said, "Sorry, I've got to go. Talk to you later."
Innocence29 signed out.
