Internet Girl
Summary- She was his best kept secret. He didn't plan on sharing her with the world. She was his Internet Girl. AU- Smitchie story.
Chapter 5- Almost All Nighter
Shane heavily sighed. The unfortunate girl must have gotten rejected again by the same moronic guy. Inside him, he just felt the need to go comfort and hug her, as well as telling her that everything would be absolutely okay. Knowingly, he felt that there was no chance in the world of possibly even touching her and that nearly shattered his heart.
It took him at least 5 long minutes, though it felt like hours, until he could finally figure out what to respond ThisIsMe123 with:
Forget about the big idiot. He's probably just some stupid jock anyways. You're way better off without him in your life. If he rejects he like this, show him what he's missing. Show him that you're not to be messed with and show him what he can no longer have.
I know a romance life could be difficult, but as long as you continue to persevere, you'll be happy and you'll find the one.
And that was that. Even though the message was pretty much cheesy, that was how he was truly feeling towards and for her. He had poured his heart and soul into that single reply.
Shane hesitated at first, but he managed hit the send button and swiftly closed the lap top. It was homework time for him, though he still didn't feel like doing it. He took a quick glance at the clock before sighing. It wasn't even close to his desired 'bedtime.'
'Might as well do the work before I get my laptop taken away.' His thoughts paused for a moment. 'It won't be fun if I don't get to talk with her for a while...'
Shane pulled out his barely started geometry homework and began to work on the problems. Today, he was stuck learning about Classifying Polygons, which was supposed to be fairly easy, except for Shane, who simply felt the need not to pay attention during class time. His mind had still been on ThisIsMe123.
'What's a four sided polygon called?' He thought questionly, tapping the tip of the eraser from the end of his pencil on his chin. This was going to take a while.
"You know, I'm glad that we can finally meet..." A delicate female voice said from the shadows. The only feature that you could see was the silhouette of the girl, as well as a keyboard with its stand.
Shane couldn't help, but feel the need the smile. He slowly stepped forward, taking a deep breathe from the overwhelmed feeling of the experience. "So am I..." He managed to say. "You don't know how much this means to me."
The girl laughed. "You know, you seem much more caring when you're actually talking." She replied jokingly.
"That's just the way I roll."
Another laugh came from Shane, this time, he was joined by the girl. "So how about singing that song?"
The girl's silhouette showed a nodding head. "Here we go." And gently, a piano intro began playing as Shane's heart started racing. This was it. He'd get the opportunity to hear the amazing song once again. This would be a different occasion because this time, it would be up close and personal. No computer to help or hurt the voice. This time, the song would be real.
"I-"
'You have mail!'
"What!?"
'You have mail!' Shane heard once again. He groaned as the computer continued to try and get his attention with constant beeps and chimes. "Need sleep..." he mumbled. Despite this, Shane unhurriedly sat up. He had fallen asleep while doing his Geometry, which was finished, with the exception of 2 or 3 problems.
Shane raised his hand to cover his mouth and let out a loud yawn. He pushed away his math book and replaced its vacated spot with his laptop. The first thing he did was check the time. 3:30 A.M. was written in tiny pixels.
"Who emails people at 3 in the morning!?" Shane asked bitterly. He froze when he saw the sender. Once again, it was from ThisIsMe123. Without any thought, Shane quickly clicked on her message and his eyes, now fully awake, scanned the words.
Thanks :) I told you that you were the best guy ever! :D Thanks so much for cheering me up popstar! I hope it's not morning wherever you are. Don't want to ruin your career ;)
Starting today (Or whatever day it was that the whole traumatic event occurred) I will follow your advice and show that I am not to be tampered with! :D Thanks again!! :D
-ThisIsMe123 (In a smiley mood! :D)
Shane beamed softly at her email. Another victory for Shane- he cheered up one of his favorite people that he both didn't know and know. Three word- awkward and confusing. He clicked open a new message and began to type his reply.
Hmph you woke me up! If I do bad in school, I'll know who to blame :P I'm kidding.
Just keep your pride up, but don't become a London Tipton! Or a Portia Tanenbaum!
P.S- And it's Rockstar ;)
That was all that he could think of, especially at 3 A.M. He hit the 'send' button and opened his messenger. As soon as he logged on, Shane's attention was caught to the only online user- ThisIsMe123. He chuckled carelessly and began to message her.
ElRockstar15- Fancy meeting you here! :o
It took a few minutes before a reply came. Shane used that opportunity to finish up his Geometry.
ThisIsMe123- Of course! I must say, it's quite a pleasure to have your presence open to me!
ElRockstar15- Lol :D You woke me up you know that? I was having a nice dream until I was unexpectedly awoken!
ThisIsMe123- ): I'm so sorry! I'll take a note on not to do this again....unless you piss me off xD
ElRockstar15- :O I'm insulted!
ThisIsMe123- Get use to it POP star ;) So what were you dreaming about?
Shane halfheartedly laughed at her question. Tell the truth or lie? It didn't take too long for him to finalize his choice.
ElRockstar15- Being on the stage with my two best friends :D
ThisIsMe123- Wow. I must say, that must have been a fantastic dream. Any screaming fan girls trying to get your attention?
ElRockstar15- Maybe. Are you Jealous?
ThisIsMe123- ...Jerk! :P
ElRockstar15- I'm kidding with you :P
ThisIsMe123- I know. That's just the way I roll!
Shane couldn't help but literally laugh out loud at this. Déjà vu. Luckily, he caught himself before he woke up his parents from their comfy sleep.
ElRockstar15- So do you have a plan on how to show up that guy?
ThisIsMe123- Not yet, but it'll come to me!
ThisIsMe123- Just like music :D
ElRockstar15- So why were you online? Waiting for me to come online.
ThisIsMe123- Maybe, maybe not :)
ElRockstar15- Nice
ThisIsMe123- Thanks ;) I do my best.
ElRockstar15- Lol!
Shane glanced at the clock in the bottom right corner of his laptop. Surprisingly, he and ThisIsMe123 had been talking for 30 minutes already. It only felt like 10 minutes at the least!
It was taking a while and she still didn't reply to Shane. While waiting, he pulled out his history and began to skim the section. Who really reads the given sections of the chapter anyways? As he did this, Shane also answered the homework questions that came with the assignment. For a 15 year old, he was pretty much overloaded with homework every day.
Luckily, the History assignment wasn't too difficult today, so Shane managed to read the 3 page section and answer the 6 questions with ease. As he silently closed the oversized book, a now quieter chime rung, indicated he had a message.
ThisIsMe123- I'm so sorry that I disappeared. I was making a cup of coffee :D Yum.
ElRockstar15- Good! I was beginning to get worried about you! :P
ThisIsMe123- Haha :P I wasn't gone for that long was I?
ElRockstar15- It felt like eternity babe.
A small tint of color crawled up to Shane's cheek? He had called her babe without even thinking about what he was typing. 'That was such a boneheaded move!' He thought angrily. Oh what he would give to delete and re-type his message.
ThisIsMe123- I glad you cared dear :P
ElRockstar15- Shut up!
ThisIsMe123- I'd rather not xD
ElRockstar15- Good, I'd be upset if you actually listened to me!
ThisIsMe123- So are you saying I should keep asking the guy out instead of listening to you?
ElRockstar15- Shut up! XD You know what I meant.
ThisIsMe123- No. I don't. :P Would you like to verify what you're trying to say?
ElRockstar15- I don't know :O I mean, then I'd be contradicting myself....I think
ThisIsMe123- Lol I'm confused beyond all belief xD
ElRockstar15- Ditto.
One arm lifted upwards to stretch, while the other was covering Shane's mouth. He let out a deep yawn before rubbing his eyes. Sleep was trying to overcome him. What should he do? Just leave the poor girl and be greedy for sleep or stay with her until he leaves? Once his decision was made up in his mind, Shane couldn't help, but say, "Coffee sounds pretty good right now."
Without another thought, Shane hopped out of his bed and silently slithered out the door. The hallways were as dark as they could get, but nonetheless, he had to go through all of that. It was either that or risk getting in trouble by the parents. Once he reached the kitchen, which was downstairs, it was safe enough to flick on the lights. The coffee maker was already on, so all Shane had to do was add the coffee in the filter and pour in the water.
"Hurry please." He begged the now dripping dark liquid. It didn't take too long until the bitter, yet wonderful aroma of the coffee beans filled the kitchen.
By the time Shane was practically passed out due to exhaustion, the coffee finally finished. With a satisfied smile, Shane poured the hot liquid into a light blue mug, which was also already filled with creamer and sugar, before putting everything back into its place. He took a final glance at the kitchen before flicking off the lights and headed back upstairs to his bedroom.
Shane sat back in his vacated spot and pulled his laptop onto his lap, still holding onto his coffee. ThisIsMe123 had left 3 messages.
ThisIsMe123- We're all confused in this world :3
ThisIsMe123- Where'd you go? Did you fall asleep?
ThisIsMe123- This is payback isn't it?
Shane chuckled at this. She actually cared, which surprised him.
ElRockstar15- You encouraged me to make some coffee :D Me likey.
ThisIsMe123- Haha. Enjoy the treat. While you were gone, I finished mine and the mug is now occupying the widely free space of my kitchen sink!
ElRockstar15- Is that all you did during my absence? :P
ThisIsMe123- Nope. Did some homework and worked on my song for a bit :3 You took forever.
ElRockstar15- Gonna let me listen to any? :P
ThisIsMe123- Nope :D There really wasn't much to work on. Song writer's block ;)
ElRockstar15- D: I'm very sad.
ThisIsMe123- Sorry.
Before he knew it, Shane stayed up much longer then he expected too. His now empty mug sat on the dresser by his bed. He and ThisIsMe123 stayed up until 6:20 A.M, which went unnoticed. When ThisIsMe123 finally decided to leave (after giving a countless amount of apologies for keeping up him up for 3 hours), Shane chose to go to bed. He gently closed the powered laptop and placed it next to his mug.
Once he was changed into his pajamas and brushed his teeth, Shane finally decided to go to sleep. Once his head hit the pillow, the once hidden sleepiness found its way back to Shane. He was slowly adjusting himself onto a comfortable position on his bed and once he found it, Shane's eyes quickly, but lightly, closed with drowsiness. As Shane drifted off into a comfortable slumber, a sudden ring woke him up. This time, it wasn't from his laptop.
Ring! Ring!
His alarm clock continued to buzz, while Shane ignored it and dug his face deep underneath his pillow. How could he forget that his alarm clock was set to wake him up at 6:30 A.M.? It was a daily routine after all!
'I am never doing this again.' Shane thought tiredly as he slowly got up from his bed.
A/N: Yeah kind of a filler chapter. :D That's why it's so short and stubby xDD I need to learn and be able to write longer chapters... Anyways, thank lovelovelove-TS for getting me to get off my lazy butt and update! XD You should check out both of her stories- they are amazing =D
Oh and by the way, I didn't fail school :D Yay! But I didn't get stupid and managed to get a virus on my comp Dx Pretty stupid too!
