Once they stopped at the Cyber Cafe, Raven didn't want to let Robin go. She was so comfortable and he was keeping her warm. He looked at her and blushed. "Well," he said, "We're here." She finally let him go, blusheing deeply. "Well, thanks for the ride," she said quietly. He smiled. "No probleum."
They walked into the Cafe and looked around. There were 12 tables, all tables for 2. Each one had 2 laptops at them, across from each other. There was also a bar, lined with laptops, about 20 chairs long. "So," Robin said, "should we sit together, or at the bar?" She looked around and said, "Well, I don't really want to sit with anyone I don't know, so I guess we can sit together."
He smiled and pointed to a table in the back corner. "Let's sit over there. I know how you don't really like to be around people." She nodded, walked over to the table and sat down. He sat across from her and opened his laptop. She opened her laptop and went online. She checked her email quickly and started to think.
'If I like him so much, why can't I tell him? I've known him for ever and he knows almost everything about me, and now that I like him, I can't tell him...but why?'
She went to a search site and typed in Advice on crushes/love. When the search was finished, the first site that came up said, "Teen advice on love. Talk to other teens about your probleums with love and get help." She thought, 'What the hell? What have I got to lose?'
She clicked on the link and it popped up with a screen that said, "Username" with a space after it. In the space she typed in Nevermorealoneraven (---my old sn here and my sn on a few other things), then clicked enter.
What popped up wasn't much different then a normal chatroom. Usernames to the side, chatting in the middle, you could block annoying people. Just a normal chat room. In the space at the bottom, she typed in, "Um...I need some help..." and pressed enter. It popped up on the screen and she waited a couple seconds. Then a instant message popped up. The persons screen name was hopelesslyinlove. After thier screen name it said, "Hi". She typed in, "Hi".
(For a while here its gonna be thier conversation) hopelesslyinlove: so, you said you needed help?...on what? nevermorealoneraven: well...I'm having guy trouble... hopelesslyinlove: oh...well, if your comfortable talking to a guy about this...i might be able to help nevermorealoneraven: well...theres this guy i work with...he's my age, and i've known him for, like, ever...but the thing is... hopelesslyinlove: now you have feelings for him and can't tell him... nevermorealoneraven: yea...how did you know that? hopelesslyinlove: i'm having the same probleum with the girl i work with nevermorealoneraven: oh...then i guess we're no help to each other, huh? hopelesslyinlove: i guess not...but we could still talk if you wanted to...just about stuff. i'm kinda bored nevermorealoneraven: okay, i guess...asl? hopelesslyinlove: 17/m/gothem city, you? nevermorealoneraven: 16/f/jump city ...isn't gothem, like, right outside of jump city? hopelesslyinlove: yea...I've been to jump city before..its a nice little place nevermorealoneraven: i guess so...i've lived here since i was 12, and it hasn't really changed...its as dull and boring as it ever was... hopelesslyinlove: well, gothem isn't to spectacular either...so...whats your name, anyway?
Raven thought, 'Should I tell him my real name? If I did, he'd know who I was for sure...' So she lied..
Nevermorealoneraven: my name's alxzandria...but people call me alex... hopelesslyinlove: nice to meet you alex...my name's mathew but people call me matt nevermorealoneraven: nice to meet you too, matt..
Raven looked at the clock and remembered she had to pick up a book at the book store.
nevermorealoneraven: i'm sorry, but i have to go hopelesslyinlove: no probluem...do you have Blahoo Messanger? nevermorealoneraven: well, i'm not using my computer and this computer doesn't have it, sorry hopelesslyinlove: its okay...can I have your email? nevermorealoneraven: sure... hopelesslyinlove: thanks...i'll email you some time... nevermorealoneraven: okay, well laterz... hopelesslyinlove: bye
She signed out and closed her laptop. "Where are you going?" Robin asked. "I just remembered I have to stop at the book store. I'll see you back at the tower," she said as she stood up. "Okay. Be back for supper. Cyborg's cooking and he just went out and bought 20 lb of ribs and BBQ sause." She rolled her eyes, "Oh goddy...wouldn't want to miss that..." She walked to the door and went across the street to the book store.
(well, its an interesting chapter that has nothing to do with the rest of the story...or does it?...well, i'll post more offten now that i'm out of school for the summer...remeber to review...laterz )
