A couple of days passed before Ethan heard back from TheWeirdBatman, but when he finally did, it made his heart race.
Dear ISeeThingsDifferently,
I'm glad to know you're okay. I was beginning to get a tad worried that something might have happened to you, but I figured that was a long shot.
I'm also glad to know that you're ready to meet me. You're best friend must've really talked some sense into you.
And for that, I'm even happier.
Now, where should we meet?
TheWeirdBatman
As Ethan was reading this message, the IM window popped up.
TheWeirdBatman: Hi you :)
ISeeThingsDifferently: Hi.
TheWeirdBatman: You okay?
ISeeThingsDifferently: Yeah, just trying to think of a place where we can both meet.
TheWeirdBatman: Ah, yeah I've been doing the same.
ISeeThingsDifferently: Yeah. I don't know what's close to you, so…
TheWeirdBatman: Ha, you'd be surprised…
ISeeThingsDifferently: ?
TheWeirdBatman: Nothing. How about … the new pizza buffet?
Ethan sat there, shocked as he read the suggestion over and over again. It made his heart race and twist and just downright screwed with him.
Maybe because that's where Benny took him on their day out… He felt a little guilty as he typed his reply.
ISeeThingsDifferently: Sure, that works. When?
TheWeirdBatman: Hmm… tomorrow night? Tomorrow's a Tuesday night, shouldn't be too crowded so we can find each other easily.
ISeeThingsDifferently: …Sure. Time?
TheWeirdBatman: …Around 7-ish? Can you do that?
ISeeThingsDifferently: Yeah.
TheWeirdBatman: Great :)
ISeeThingsDifferently: Um… how do we find each other though? I have no idea what you look like…
TheWeirdBatman: Oh, right. Um…
ISeeThingsDifferently: I'll be wearing a jean jacket. Look for that.
TheWeirdBatman: Got it! And I'll be wearing a … let me look real quick.
ISeeThingsDifferently: K.
TheWeirdBatman: I'll be wearing a dark blue jacket.
ISeeThingsDifferently: Okay. Then see you tomorrow night I guess…
TheWeirdBatman: I guess so. Are you nervous?
ISeeThingsDifferently: Terrified.
TheWeirdBatman: We can always cancel and do it at another time.
ISeeThingsDifferently: No, I want to meet you. I NEED to meet you.
TheWeirdBatman: Need to?
ISeeThingsDifferently: Yes.
TheWeirdBatman: Okay… Tomorrow then ;)
ISeeThingsDifferently: Tomorrow.
TheWeirdBatman: Bye.
ISeeThingsDifferently: Bye.
Ethan watched as he signed out, a sigh leaving his lips. Was he ready for this?
…
All day Tuesday Ethan was jittery, and even a little spazzy, and definitely jumpy. Everyone was concerned, but not Benny. He just laughed at Ethan with a too happy smile on his face. Ethan chose to ignore him; he found it easier.
…
The day was nearing five, and Ethan was nervous beyond belief. Was he ready for this? He paced his room, thoughts racing and muscles twitching. If anyone saw him, they would probably be thinking he was having a fit or something. Attempting to calm himself, he walked to his closet, trying to find something, anything to wear.
Finally, he decided on a dark blue t-shirt and black pants. While slipping on his jacket, he checked the time. It was a quarter till six. Slowly, he began to pace his room, his nerves getting the best of him.
…
Benny sat in his living room, bouncing in his seat by the window. He stared outside, waiting. He wasn't going to leave until he saw Ethan leave. He figured he'd give him a full head start before heading himself. Because, unlike his best friend, he knew what he was in for.
He planned on starting out with a best friend but ending with a boyfriend.
He glanced at his watch and saw that it was six already. Glancing out the window made him jump out of his seat. Ethan was leaving his house, jean jacket on. A huge smile spread over his face as Ethan headed in the direction of the pizza buffet.
"Soon my Ethan, soon…"
…
Ethan was scared out of his mind as he made his way to the pizza buffet. He didn't know what to expect or what to do. Glancing at his watch, he saw it was already nearing six thirty. And he was already here.
Guess I can eat a little before he gets here. Maybe it'll calm my nerves.
Finally feeling ready, he walked in.
…
Benny slipped on his jacket and was about to leave when his grandma stopped him.
"Where are you going?"
"I have a … meeting."
"Meeting?" she snorted at him, crossing her arms. "Try a better lie."
"Uh… Okay. I have a … blind date."
"Getting better."
"I'm serious!"
"With who?"
"It's a blind date Grandma. I don't know."
"Oh I think you do." His eyes widened slightly as he stared at the older woman, who just continued to glare. "Don't you?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Clear your computer history next time genius. Now get going. Don't want to be late do you?" His face was beet red as he left his house, clearly embarrassed. He could still hear her laugh as he practically ran down the street.
…
Benny slowed as he neared the pizza place. Glancing at his watch, he saw it was ten till seven. His nerves were beginning to get to him now. What if Ethan didn't like him? What if was disappointed that it was Benny that was going to walk through the door?
Taking a deep breath, he finally entered.
…
Ethan heard the door chime, signaling someone had come in to the practically empty pizza place. It took all his control not to turn and look. Instead, he glanced at his watch. Five till seven.
He tensed up as he heard footsteps head his way. This was a mistake, this was a mistake, this was a mistake… That kept running through his head as he bit his lip in nervousness as he closed his eyes.
"You're the only one with a jean jacket on," a voice whispered teasingly in his ear, making his eyes snap open. Slowly, he turned to face the one where the voice came from.
"You?" he said quietly, staring at him with wide eyes.
"Me."
…
YAAAAAAAY! And yes, I'm ending it there. Because, we know, and Benny knows, but not Ethan, so…
Fancy announcer voice "Coming in the next excited installment of Instant Messaging, Ethan finds out who TheWeirdBatman is once and for all. How will he react to this realization? Just have to wait and find out!"
That was fun.
Hope ya'll liked it!
Love to all my AMAZINGLY AWESOME reviewers!
