her friends are all busy. there's no one to talk to. no one's available to listen to her endless rants.
the best thing she could let herself do is to open to computer and try to have someone to listen to her. ... she knows exactly where to go.
THE VIRTUAL WORLD. ... everyone in there's probably having the same boring day as her. if not, then why would they waste their time in a non-real world right?
so she signed up on the first community site that came to her mind. it was perfect. a lot of people were talking to her. that's exactly what she needed at that time --the feeling of acceptance. 'I'd love this place' she thought to herself. the day ended well for her. she gained a lot of virtual friends, that's good enough for her.
the next day she was so excited to log in again; thinking of having the same warm welcome she had the day before. but she was wrong. staring a conversation with people she doesn't really know turned out to be way harder that she thought. well at least after the 'hi-i'm-new-here-my-name-is_____' part.
people there act like they do know each other in the real world, when in fact they don't. she felt out of place. then she stumbled upon a short story. it's about a guy's high school love. he met her in junior year. she's like the female version of him, and he liked that. there's just something special about that girl.
one day, he was really running out of time, deadline for their project is in less that 24 hours. they had to make a rosary out of a paper bead. the girl finished a week before the deadline. she was damn good at it. so he gathered all the guts that he could and asked her if she can help him do his project. she cant actually help him since they dont have much time. so she offered to just do the whole thing for him.
the next morning he saw her. she looked different, she had darker circles around her eyes. her lips are pale but her smile was sweet.
"oh, wow! Thank you." he said.
"no problem. I didn't have anything to do anyway." she said.
"I love you." he said smiled.
"excuse me, what ..?"
"I said I love you .... for making this for me." then he left.
who would've thought she'd hold on to that forever.
