I typed in my reply, pausing ever so slightly before typing in the last word. "O, hey Davis" I wasn't sure about all this. I mean, I was starting to really believe that it was Davis talking to me, but there was still room in the back of my mind for doubt, and, let me tell you, it sure as hell was there.
"Wuzzup?"
'Hmm! Wait a second. What was I thinking? Ken doesn't use any slang like this. Like he knows any! I've been so worked up that I wasn't thinking about that.' Now that the fear was starting to disappear even more, I was less afraid to talk to him. "Nm. U?"
"Same. U ok?"
"Yeah"
"Ok, just checking"
"I'm alright. Thnx anyway, though"
"Np"
Then, I gasped as an idea hit me. I figured out a way to settle my doubts once and for all. So if I just simply—
"So Davis, howz school going?"
At first, I received no answer, but after a few seconds, his answer came up on the screen. It was exactly what that little part in the back of my mind expected him to say. "Uh, Crys? Itz summer right now. We're out of school"
I stared at the words for a few seconds. I knew it! Davis talked to me yesterday afternoon, (before I got the strange IM), online and complained for five minutes straight about how totally boring summer school is and that he was so glad it was finally the weekend. So, either Davis has a 30 second long short-term memory, or this really is Ken.
"O, thatz right! Sry, that just goes 2 show how much of an airhead I am"
"Np. I do that all the time 2" "Lol"
I decided then to make an excuse to get the hell off of the Internet with him. But, last minute, I decided to go ahead and "gently" tell him that I knew who he really was. I thought for a second before typing in the message.
"Yeah. 2 bad I never saw ken make a mistake like that. That'd be priceless! It'd give me proof of what I've known all along"A few seconds of silence before—
"Wuzz that?"
"That he's just a normal person like the rest of us. And boy would I love the chance 2 call him what I've been dying 2 call him 4 4ever!"
"What?"
"Well, lets just put it this way—I bet that under all of that snobby, I-will-rule-the-digital-world, egotistical, chauvinistic, Mr. Almighty attitude of his, he's really more of an idiot than any of us combined!"
There was a long pause. Boy, that did it!
"Yeah"
I knew it! Score! Man, am I having fun! 'Okay, time to top it all off and then go.'
"Hey, I g2g. TTYL Kenny Boy!"
"Y U LITTLE, INSIGNIFICANT PIECE OF DIRT! I AM SO GONNA KILL YOU! HOW THE HELL DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT?!"
"Wasn't it obvious? Dude, for an evil genius, you sure didn't think this one through very well, did you?" Then, I simply signed off. Boy, that felt good! Ken is totally gonna murder me now, but hey, I'm completely satisfied. I haven't been able to say stuff like that to his face in... Well...actually...I never have been able to do that!
And then a realization sunk in. Uh...if Ken ever gets me back, he probably really will kill me for that one. Um... Well, I'd better not get caught, then, huh? Besides, the others will protect me. Matt will protect me. ...Matt...Damn he's hot! 'But there's only one problem, Crys. Did you see the look on Sora's face when they saw us with his arms around me? Dude, she was pissed!'
Hmm, oh well. I'll think about that later. Right now, I've so gotta call Yolei and tell her about this! It felt great, even though Ken is gonna kill me for it. So, I picked up my phone and dialed Yolei's number. It rang for a few seconds, and then—
"Hello? Inou residence; Yolei speaking." (Me: Did I spell her last name right? If not, please tell me!)
"Hey, Yolei? It's Crystal! Man, do I have a story for you!"
Yolei and I talked on the phone for about half an hour about what happened, both just now and at the mall earlier today. After about half an hour, though, I heard Rachel yelling at me to get off the phone so she could use it. So, I said goodbye to Yolei and hung up. After that, I went to bed, noticing that it was almost 12:00 in the morning. I hoped I wasn't gonna have to wake up to another nightmare the next morning, but boy, was I wrong or what?!
