Rachael sighed as she once again defeated the computer in solitaire. She kept thinking about the email but at least she had managed to control her pulse.
" Who would bloody send that to me!" Rachael started to feel the emotion boiling up to the surface again so she tried to focus on her game.
-Tick Tock-
She once again unconsciously looked up at the clock.
" 10.32pm…" Rachael felt the paranoia once again set in again. She decided she would call her mother and tell her about the disturbing email she had received from an unknown, thanks to Yahoo. She cussed under her breathe at the thought of Yahoo letting this through!
She picked up her cell phone and was about to dial her mum's mobile number when she thought how selfish she was in a way. Her own grandma was on her death bed and she was about to rave on about some stupid email. She felt shameful.
"Hmm…?" She still contemplated ringing her mum but this made her even angrier.
"No! I wont call her."
She sat there at the computer desk feeling quite vulnerable. Rachael was alone and her mother was at least a couple of kilometres away.
"Why cant I carm my nerves?"
Suddenly something popped up on her screen and she almost jumped out of her chair.
Instant Messenger!
"Oh!"
Rachael felt quite relieved when she noticed it was just her friend Julie online.
She opened up the pop up and saw what her friend wrote.
Julie- Hey Rachael! Why are you up so late? Wait you're always up late…
Rachael quickly typed a reply.
Rachael- Oh, hi Julie. I'm just sitting here.
Julie- Are you OK?
Rachael- Yes I'm fine…
Julie- What is it? You can tell me I'm your best friend.
For some reason Rachael cringed at the thought of being Julie best friend. Her and Rachael were never the closest of friends. Rachael didn't answer Julie.
Julie- Are you still there?
Rachael- Yes I'm still here Julie.
Julie- So… What's wrong?
Rachael- Well, I just got a really creep e-mail.
Julie- Tell me all about it.
Rachael- I wouldn't be comfortable telling you Julie.
Julie- Please! Come on tell me.
That's why they were never close friends.
Rachael- No.
Julie- Please!
Rachael- Fine…
Julie- Cool. Go on tell me.
Rachael- It said something about me having to call a number.
Julie- That doesn't sound to bad. Tell me more.
Rachael- And I have to get their e-mail address.
Julie- Whose e-mail address?
Rachael- Look, Julie it is complicated!
Julie- Come on tell me!
Rachael closed the chat out of anger. Now she was feeling angry, scared and paranoid.
