The Boy I Met Online

Chapter 22

Andrew: We need to meet in person.

Monica: I know, and that day needs to come soon!

Andrew: Yes, I need to finally meet my girlfriend!

I was feeling nervous again. I wanted to meet him but I was a little afraid.

Andrew: And I have the perfect idea of where we can meet. ;)

Monica: Really? What is it?

Andrew: This Friday at my school, we're having a basketball game.

Monica: I'd love to! Hold on, let me ask my mom.

I went downstairs and I saw my mom and dad watching a movie.

"Can I go to a basketball game at Troy High this Friday?"

"Who will you be going with?" she asked.

I couldn't tell her that I'm going to finally meet my online boyfriend.

"Paige." I said.

"Yeah, sure. But her mom will have to drive you." she said.

"Ok thanks!" I ran back upstairs.

I quickly texted Paige and asked her if she can go to the game on Friday and if her mom could take us, and she said yes. I didn't tell her that it was to meet my online boyfriend though.

Monica: I can go! My best friend is going too!

Andrew: Awesome! I'll be there with my band!

Monica: So where are we going to meet? There are going to be so many people there. Also, my friend cannot find out I'm going there to meet you.

Andrew: I know a place we can go to. You leave the gym and you see a hallway of lockers, you go to the right and then turn right again, there will be a dark hallway with all the extra lockers and there's a janitors closet, I'll be there, waiting for you.

Monica: Oh, ok, see you Friday. :)

Andrew: Friday. ;) <3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was finally Friday. After school, I went over to Paige's house. I kept fixing up my makeup and hair so that I would look good for when I met Andrew.

"We're going to a basketball game, not a beauty pagent." she said.

I stopped in the middle of applying extra mascara.

"Right." I said, and I put it away.

We got into her moms car and she dropped us off at Troy High School.

We went inside and saw so many people.

"Let's get a seat up high." I said. We went up there and found empty space.

After everyone settled down, the game was starting.

I needed an excuse to get out of there.

"Paige, I'm going to go use the bathroom." I said.

"Oh, ok." she said.

I got up, I felt myself shaking but I walked down the bleachers.

I went out the door and to the right. Then I walked down to the end of the hallway and I turned right. Just then, a really tall guy came out of there and started walking in the opposite direction.

I kept walking, but then I turned back around. Was that Andrew?

I went in the dark hallway and I waited for him to come back since he seemed like he was walking back and forth.

I waited and waited until he finally came back.

"Hey!" I said.

He looked at me, "oh, hi." He had a very deep voice.

I don't think he recognized me.

"Remember me?"

He just stood there, confused.

"Facebook?" I said again.

I thought he knew but I guess not.

"I'm your girlfriend for crying out loud!" I yelled, then suddenly regretting it. I hope nobody comes back here.

"Woah, that was you?" he said, "Monica?"

"Um, yeah." I said.

"You look a lot more beautiful than in your picture, wow, I just don't know what to say." he said.

I felt myself blush. Honestly, he wasn't as good looking as I thought he would be. But, I didn't like him for his looks, I liked him for his personality, and that's why he was my boyfriend.

He hugged me.

Everything felt complete now, I now finally met my online boyfriend.

I pulled away. "I have to be getting back."

"Yeah, me too." he said.

"It was nice meeting you finally." I said.

"You too." he said.

"So, um bye." I started to walk away.

"Bye." he said.

I kind of expected him to kiss me or say something but it's ok, it was our first time meeting.

I went back and sat back down next to Paige.

"Where were you?" she asked.

"The bathroom. Where else would I be?"

"What took you so long?"

"Long line."

"But I went looking for you and there was no one there."

Oh no, how do I cover this up?

"I went to the other bathrooms."

"Oh, ok. Why do you smell like cologne by the way?"

"Some guy was spraying it around there and it got on me."

"Oh, ok." she said.

Hopefully, she believed me.
