Be My Pale Angel
By: For Ever The Same
Chapter 1/I Was Bored
Danica Watkins sat at her desk typing away on the computer. She was on a poetry site she had found a few months ago.
For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror we can just barely endure, and we admire it so because it calmly disdains to destroy us.
She just posted on the site.
Okay, it wasn't really a poem but one of her favorite quotes. Her mom Leanne used to say it to her all the time.
"Accept message from Foreverthesame?"
Who? She thought as she clicked "yes"
Foreverthesame: Rainer Maria Rilkee, right?
The stranger was referring to her recent post.
PaleAngel: That's right. Poetry fan?
FTS: A little
PA: Most be more than a little to be roaming around a poetry site and randomly IMing people to see if you were right about an author of a quote.
FTS: I was bored.
PA: You do weird things when you are bored.
FTS: And you type really slow
PA: Haha, I know, maybe it's because you type really fast but in my defense I'm reading.
Danica could not help but notice that Foreverthesame's replies came up an alarmingly quick. She barely had time to read a couple words in her book before the dinging sound of a reply came. He wasn't even typing in the popular internet slang. (which made her quite glad because she didn't know most of it)
FTS: What are you reading?
PA: Romeo and Juliet
FTS: Nice. Would it to forward of me to ask your name?
PA: No, its Danica
FTS: I'm Alec
PA: Nice to meet you.
FTS: Likewise
PA: Sorry! Sleepy, going to bed.
FTS: Sweet dreams
PA: You too
Danica reluctantly shut down the computer, knowing she'd get yelled at if she didn't, and flopped into bed. She had never known anyone who knew who wrote favorite quote. She liked it. To her amazement, for the first time in years, Danica was excited for tomorrow just to see if she could talk to Alec again. She drifted to sleep thinking about him and what he must look like.
