The Library

Austin walked in to the library shortly after the lunch began searching for a open computer to begin his history report. A fellow student waves him over to let him know his session is over. Placing his bag on the back of the chair and taking a seat. As Austin logged on to the computer he remembered what had happened earlier that day before school with PrincetonGirl. Is it possible that she has been right in front of him this whole time and he just hadn't noticed her? Of course, it is also possible he hasn't considering how many students go to North Valley High. Finally, the computer loaded up the main screen and he was able to open word document. However, he also opened his AOL and minimized it to avoid getting caught by any teachers walking by. After a few minutes of working on his paper the notification he set up for PrincetonGirl activated and he redirected his full attention to her.

Nomad609: How's your day so far?

PrincetonGirl818: Yuck. Raging step-mom, work and cool kids who can't get over themselves.

PrincetonGirl818: Ever feel like you don't belong?

All the time! Nomad609: Absolutely. I can be surrounded by a sea of people and still all alone. Then I think of you. : ) Sam couldn't help by crack a smile after his flattering compliment.

PrincetonGirl818: Hey Nomad, do you think we've ever met?

Nomad609: I don't know. Our school has over 3500 kids.

PrincetonGirl818: Well, that narrows it down.

Nomad609: Well, at least I can eliminate the guys. You're not a guy, right? If you are, I'll kick your butt.

Ha ha! Why would he think I'm a guy? PrincetonGirl818: Ha. I am not a guy.

Nomad609: Alright, I guess, I'll just have to trust you. ; )

PrincetonGirl818: Very funny, smarty pants. So, about earlier today. Where exactly were you sitting this morning? I want to know how close I was to you. I'm scared to ask.

Nomad609: Um...I was sitting pretty much in the middle where Friendship Circle is engraved in the seat.

Geez, he was literally right next to me. PrincetonGirl818: Wow. Do you realize how close I was to you, today?

Nomad609: You were probably stalking me. LOL!

PrincetonGirl818: Yep. You got me! Seriously, though we could be feet away from each other, right now!

Nomad609: Anything is possible, I suppose. It's crazy how we could've met right then. Would you have done it?

PrincetonGirl818: I don't know. I'm still a little nervous about what you'd think of me. : (

Nomad609: I really wish you wouldn't be so hard on yourself. I bet, you're more attractive then you give yourself credit for.

PrincetonGirl818: Maybe, you're right, but it's hard being a girl no matter how good lookin' you are.

Nomad609: I don't know anything about being a girl. However, I still want you to stop bashing yourself. Let's back it up a minute, though. Can you tell me where you are sitting, right now?

PrincetonGirl818: In the library. What about you? Austin's eyes grew to the size of grape fruits in reaction to her message. You've gotta be kidding me. He thought to himself. Just as he was about to reply back the bell rang, lunch hour was over.

PrincetonGirl818: What bad timing! Send me a text after school, alright? Gotta go to English. See ya!

Nomad609: You got it. Bye! Sam signed off a few seconds later. Since there was little time to talk more about the 2nd consecutive close in encounter he let it go for the time being. I guess, I'll have to spill the beans when we text after school.
