AN:

Hi guys,
New story. I hope you like it. I've decided to start writing again so let's see how this goes. Leave me a review and give me an indication of whether or not to continue! I have about five chapters ready to go. Here's the snippet.

Disclaimer: Belongs to Stephenie Meyer. I just like to play.

Ding.

Emeralds says:
Hey, man! Where did you run off to after training? Coach was pissed – he made us run five extra laps. Dickheads, the both of you.

Emmett says:
Oh, hi. I'm sorry. I've got to go. I'll speak to you soon.

Emeralds says:
You're not Emmett.

Emmett says:
…

Emeralds says:
For starters, Emmett doesn't bother with punctuation. Something about 'a waste of time.' Second, his IM name changed to default and I'm sure that happens when a different modem is being used. Finally, you just confirmed it.

Emmett says:
Smart guy. Well, I'd love to stay and chat but I really have to head off. Don't want Emmett to beat me to a pulp and the likelihood of getting caught is higher the longer I'm on here.

Quick question, though, I've changed his Facebook profile picture – can you give it a look and see if it's embarrassing enough? I thought that maybe a photo from his chubby, less bodybuilder days would suffice.

Emeralds says:
I see, a revenge mission?

If that's the case, I'm sorry but it will not do. Have this. I promise it's not a virus.

Emmett says:
Brilliant! Emmett, the Mighty Sophomore, sleeping with a Stitch Blankie. I see it now, headlines! Breaking News! You are a lifesaver, Mr. Emeralds - or Miss (Mrs.) Emeralds. Whoever you are, thank you very much. I'm sure this will teach that big oaf a lesson or two.

Emeralds says:
Correct. It's Mr. Emeralds. It's also my pleasure – sir, miss, not confined to gender labels? I feel that this is my duty, especially after what he put the team through this afternoon. Did you read that? Five! Five extra laps because Oompa Loompa over there dashed out on us.

Hey, while you're here, I'd like to know how you got into his account? He's very particular about logging off and I can see why. I've tried for years and failed for years.

Emmett says:
Miss [question]. This goes against what you might know but Emmett actually forgot to log himself out this one afternoon. I promise I haven't kept it for long, I just felt this would come. I haven't been reading any of his messages and haven't posed as Emmett either.

In case you start to think I'm some crazy ex-girlfriend who hoards IM passwords.

Emeralds says:
That's exactly what I've been thinking. Who are you anyway?

Emmett says:
Considering my last statement, you can rule out half the female population of Forks High.

Emeralds says:
and Miss Molina.

Emmett says:
and Miss Molina.

Hey, look, I've really got to go. I feel that Emmett in real life will be hopping on his own account soon and I want to change his password before I head off.

Emeralds says:
What's your name?

Or, at least, your IM name. This may sound strange and a little forward, but I'm liking this. I'd like to keep this conversation going, if you would.

Emmett says:
I don't know. I don't even know who you are.

Emeralds says:
Isn't that the fun of it? Okay, I'll leave it up to you. You have my IM address.

Before you make your decision, here are three things that I can assure you:
1. We both go to Forks High School.

Emmett says:
How do you know that?

Emeralds says:
Shhhh, points. Good. When you wait. They are good points. You'll see.

1. We both go to Forks High School… and know of Miss Molina who, more importantly, we can agree is characterized by the crazy ex-girlfriend trait. She also only joined us this year so we're roughly around the same age, right? Freshman year?

2. Mutual friend: Emmett Cullen. Always a good quality, even though we do agree he is an oaf sometimes. Aren't we all?

3. I've really enjoyed the snippet of this conversation. I promise I won't try to seek you outside of here, if you don't want me to. I won't ask for numbers or nudes or names, and won't try to push you. In any case, you've got the upper hand.

Like we can be secret friends.

Emmett logged off

Emeralds and Distant Dreamer are now friends

Distant Dreamer says:
'Like we can be secret friends.' In 'A Walk to Remember', Jaime slams the door on Landon's face, you know? It's not a very good line. But I'll bite.

Emeralds says:
I have no idea what you're talking about but thanks.

Who knows? Maybe we'll both get tired of each other after this evening and you'll decide to delete me.

Distant Dreamer says:
Yeah. Who knows?
