Chapter 2: Jake

(Typing) "Thanks... I never thought you'd remember"

Selena: Yea, well.. facebook has an alert remember ;)

(Typing) Oh! Yea! .....

I sat there staring at the screen waiting for her to type back, it was one of the weirdest things I've ever felt, it was weirder than going to the toilet and the guy beside you stares at your....

*ding* Selena: So, where did you go for university?

(Typing) I'm in a business school here in Asia

Selena: :)) seriously? Why did you get sent out there? Made ur parents pissed? ;)

(Typing) You're crazy, my parents thought I'd learn more from the experts.. you know, developing countries

"What's taking her so long to reply", I thought as I sat there staring at the ceiling waiting for her reply. It's stupid that it makes me so nervous waiting for her answers and yet I couldn't give her a proper conversation... I'm going crazy! I can't believe I have this feeling, all because of her...

"Dude! It's normal! You're just chatting with a friend", I had to keep reminding my self. Minutes were like hours. I felt so anxious.

(Typing) ...

SelenaSorry, I was on the phone with my mom. :)

(Typing) Oh. Okay! :>

"Dude! Say something already". I'm so weak at this, I can't even hold a proper conversation but I want her to keep typing, it's crazy!

I took my drumsticks and twirled it around my fingers to keep me distracted. I don't want her to think that I'm so anxious to talk to her, you know...playing it "cool". Yea I'm dumb ... & weak... & stupid at keeping a conversation... Ugh! What am I saying!...

*ding* Selena: Hey! g2g it's late here and I have classes early tomorrow so... Enjoy ur special day! ;) Have fun! Tc! GB! :)

And there the green little circle turns gray! She's my best friend but I couldn't say anything more, I don't know what happened and to us and since when did things become awkward between us... but it would have been nice if she stayed online even if she was sleeping, at least I'd know she was there...

 Argh! I'm crazy! Why do I keep thinking about her since the last day of high school, but I haven't had the guts to chat with her! 

Plus... why am I thinking of her?... This is stupid!
