Different IRL

Chapter 14

Rose: ...then he said he wants me 'n he's gonna have me 'n he doesn't want me to make him wait too long!

Aela: Really?! OMG! *shivers*

Rose: Yes! OMG! I'm freaking out. FREAKING. OUT!

Aela: In a good way or a bad way?

Rose: That's the thing. I don't know. I don't know anything about this guy. He could be psycho for all I know.

Aela: I mean, he could be. But...I doubt it.

Rose: How can u be so sure?

Aela: I'm not. It's just a hunch.

Rose: Wait til my bestie hears all about this. She's not home right now.

Aela: What do you think she'll say?

Rose: Kiki will probably tell me to go for it. She only likes him 'cuz he buys her art.

Aela: Lol. Yeah, but she's probably a good judge of character?

Rose: She is.

Aela: Then I'd just go along with whatever she tells you if you want to. I mean, do you like this guy?

Rose: I'm starting to. He stuck up for me at the restaurant and showed me a really nice time. He's different.

Aela: And you're attracted to him, so there's a plus.

Rose: OMG. I'm like PMSing so hard rn. I just wanted to jump on him tonight. I don't know what's wrong with me lately.

Aela: Lol. Don't beat yourself up for being horny. You're only human.

Rose: My mother would be so disappointed to hear I had such thoughts.

Aela: Strict parents?

Rose: Very. It's hard sometimes u know? I wanna be able to have girl talk with my mom, but she would never go for that.

Aela: I'm in the same boat. My parents haven't really been in my life like I've needed them to.

Rose: Aww. That sucks. People need to take parenting class or something.

Aela: For real.

Rose: Hey, thanks for listening to me go on and on. I know this is an anime app, but you've been a really good friend to me.

Aela: Of course. It's nice to have anonymity in talking with someone.

Rose: Well, not really. U know what I look like. U gotta send me a pic now.

A few minutes tick by. She's doing the disappearing thing again. Maybe she's away from her keyboard or something. Dang it. We were having so much fun chatting. I'll give it some more time.

Rose: Aela?

Aela: Sorry. I was afk. Um...yeah, I know. It's just...I'm really ugly. You aren't missing anything. Lol.

Rose: Nonsense. Also, how cool would it be to meet someday?

Aela: Yeah.

Rose: Anyway, I should go. I have school tomorrow. Boo!

Aela: Keep me updated about Shy!

Rose: I told u his name already? I don't remember doing that?

Aela: Yes, you did silly. How else would I know it? You're too funny.

Rose: Oh yeah. Duh. Lol! Good night!

Aela: Night.

That is so weird. I really don't remember telling Aela Shy's name. But maybe I did. Oh well. I'm losing my mind. That's okay. It's Shy's fault. He turned my brain into mush tonight. I wish Kiki were home. I need to go over everything that's happened. Except my goodnight kiss. Thinking about it makes my stomach flip.
