That night, Abby is in her apartment sitting down on her coffin. It was a little too big for her but she liked it. It was comfy like she was floating on a bed of clouds. Her coffin was black in color as it is her favorite color. It has a skull print on it. She turned on her laptop and she proceeded to connecting to the line. After a few minutes, she was connected to her apartment wifi and she directly went to check her email. When she turned it on, she saw a lot of emails but one particular person's email made a smile of her. She has been emailing with someone named bookwiz125 for a few months now. She started emailing with him when she accidentally went to the over 30's chatroom. That person was there so she started chatting with him and soon they gave each other their emails. Her on screen name is SkullGirl13. She opened the email and begin reading it.
Dear SkullGirl13,
Don't you have many questions about the world? Many unanswered questions but they still linger on your mind like pesky bugs. Don't you ever wondered what others think of you when they see you for the first time? I do think about that a lot and I always judge people before even attempting to know them. Maybe it's just the way I was raised or it is just who I am. Maybe it is my nature to judge people. I just don't know what to say at this point. I am just confused right now. Sorry for bugging you with my problems. Anyway thanks for being a great listener.
Your friend,
bookwiz125
Confuse and silent, she sit still for while looking at the screen. She didn't know to respond but she kinda knows the feeling of judging someone. She judged the guy that she spilled coffee on earlier as an arsehole. She finally thought of a reply to her friend
Dear bookwiz125,
To be honest, I do have some questions about the world that always questions me. Why do things bad things happen to good can't people just be kind to one another. Why do some people act like an ass sometimes especially in front of you. Why do some people treat others like shit! Sorry I got carried away with my feelings again. Sorry about that, I don't know you much because we agreed on keeping things simple and not mentioning anything specific but from what I can tell. You're a good person, I could feel it. If you're not, then you wouldn't have second thoughts of judging someone. Believe me and it's alright judging someone because I do that a lot. I did that this morning to some wall street guy that thinks highly of himself. Anyway good night and hope to hear from you soon
Your friend,
SkullGirl13
After that, she wrote and sent the email . She went straight to bed because she was tired after everything that happen today. She just wanna sleep and start stress free tomorrow
Meanwhile at the same time, Timothy McGee laid on his bed with his laptop on his lap. He decides to check his email too before going to bed. He connects to the internet and click on his email account.
He opens the email from SkullGirl13 and slowly read it word to word. He is smiling throughout the read and kept asking himself if what SkullGirl13 saying was true. He wanted to reply it but he decides to reply it after work. He has a meeting tomorrow morning so he has to sleep early. He turn off his computer and tuck inside his king size blue bed with MIT logo on it.
The next morning, it was raining heavily. Everyone was walking under their umbrellas trying not to get wet but it wasn't the case for Abby. Her Green shirt that is made of thin fabric with a apple logo is now drench with water. Her handbag that is on her shoulder is now on her head shielding her as she tried to run through the rain. Miraculously, she manage to reach the subway and get on the train. By now, her shirt is almost translucent as you could see her bra. Everyone was looking at her as she got up the train.
"Damn the weather forecast. I'm not gonna believe that thing again" she muttered not realising that everyone could hear her. Some people just smirk while others just continue on like nothing has happen.
"Weather Forecast are not always right" A stranger said who standing standing next to her. Both of them simultaneously turn and it took them a few seconds before recognizing each other.
There they was Abby Scuito and Timothy McGee face to face looking at each other. As expected it went silent as neither of them stood awkwardly next to each other.
"Why do I have to be in the same train as him at the same freakin time. Is this Karma?" she muttered as she looked at the Wall street man. She can see that his hair was wet as well, his clothes are dry as she can see the rain coat that is dripping with water. She can see his briefcase on his right hand as well. She didn't even know why is she looking at the man. Tim turned to look and instantaneously Abby looked away. He look at her with his green eyes and notice that her clothes was wet and apparently translucent. He would rather leave it like that embarrassing her but he remembers the email he got from SkullGirl13. He just shrug and rollbhis eyes as he finally speak up
"Don't you have an umbrella or at least a rain coat of some sort?" he ask her and she slightly jump as she look at him
"If I had an umbrella, I wouldn't stand here wet right?" she said annoyingly as Tim continue to look at her
Abby finally realise what was happening. She cover her breast with her arms blushing hard. Maybe that's why people kept staring at me she thought as she looked down embarrasse. She sneeze and she was shivering because of the cold. Tim just sigh as he took off his coat giving it to her
"Put this on," he said simply giving it to her before looking away.
A shock look can be seen on Abby's face when he did that. She notice that his voice was different and the look on his eyes. It wasn't the one she saw yesterday morning. This time, it was a calm look when he gave her the coat
"W-what about you?" she ask nervously looking at the man. She was confuse. Is it the same man she met yesterday or is it a different man?
"I'll be fine. My work place is not that far from here." Tim said and what comes after that shock Abby even more
"About yesterday, I was out of line and I am sorry." Tim said with an apologetic look in his low voice trying not get embarrass
He can see that her eyes is looking at him like he was crazy or something. Abby was surprise and didn't expect that apology at all
"Apology accepted," she said simply looking down.
Things went silent after that as the train reached Tim's stop.
"Well I'm dropping here." Tim said as he starts to walk out before Abby could stop him
"Wait! What about your..." Abby said but Tim didn't heard her as he disappeare into the crowd
"coat.." she just look away wondering what just happen.
