That had all happened five days ago. I hadn't talked to Dave since, other than a few short conversations during class. Today, at exactly 12:03PM, 6th period, lunch, I would only end up making a fool out of myself. Well, not make a fool of myself now that I think about it, more become just another thing people could laugh at again, but that just started here. Dave was at his locker, right before lunch started. I stood behind it until he closed it, surprised when he didn't jump at least a little bit.
"I need proof," I demanded.
"Proof of what?" He asked.
"That you're really him," I handed him my phone, "Put your number in, I'll text you my address, come over right after school."
He shrugged and took my phone and put his number in, "Got it," Then he walked away.
The day went by more quickly than usual; I didn't talk to Dave again for the rest of the day, or at least until he texted me and showed up at my door a few minutes later.
I opened the door, "Fast?"
He nodded, "I try."
I led him over towards my laptop and opened it up, starting Skype, "Log in."
"How do you know I have one of these?" he asked innocently.
"Everyone does." I say while looking at him, smiling.
He turned my laptop towards himself and typed quickly, "What does this prove?"
"Oh, you know we're just gonna call your little friend John," I smirked.
He clicked on the name ectoBiologist. It rang for few seconds, and then someone picked up.
"Dave!" The voice was a little nasally, and Dave smiled a tiny bit when he heard it.
The image of John had finally loaded, when I screamed, grabbing at my laptop, "Dave! Turn our video on oh my god!"
"Fine."
Within a few seconds John could see us. I guess you could say I was fangirling just a little.
"Who's that girl?" John asked, waving at me.
"She-" Dave started.
"Jayden, I'm Jayden, and you guys-" I covered my mouth before I could say anything to further embarrass myself. The three of us continued to talk for a while, and I was still flipping out inside. It was official; I had been talking to The John Egbert for about 10 minutes. Fictional characters are supposed to stay fictional though, right?
Just some things I noticed: The way Dave smiled at John, and laughed while we were talking to him, Dave never laughs during school, or even smiles. The way he played with his hair while John was talking and the way he nervously scratched his neck. It was kind of adorable watching the two of them interact, and no it wasn't just the fact that they had been one of my OTPs. The blue of John's eyes was a very pretty blue, to be honest, much darker than the light blue of mine, and his sparkled. Most of all I noticed these weren't wigs, they weren't cosplays, these were real people.
I was finally starting to believe maybe, somehow this is real? Dave had finally left and now I had the entire weekend to think about this week and try to figure out what was happening, but of course that would kind of be breaking the fourth wall wouldn't it?
