~Aleks' POV~

I sat at my computer, bored, as always. I was always a frequent daydreamer, always getting lost in thought. I hadn't had many friends at the time, but as I thought, I realized I wanted that to change. I scooted my chair so my legs were under the desk and typed in my search bar:

"ChatRoomie.com"

I clicked onto the first link, bringing me to a page asking for a user name. I pondered for a second. 'ImmortalHD' I typed, and clicked 'go'. I automatically got sent to Chat Room 1.

kootra: so, here's the thing, though.

immortalhd has joined the chat

uberhaxornova: who's this guy?

immortalhd: hey guys i just want to talk to some people

SSoHPKC: get out

kootra: if you want to talk to some people, join another chat room. We're discussing something important.

I was quite offended by how rude these people were being to me, and I only wanted to talk. I scooted my chair in further and put my hand on the mouse, moving the cursor over 'chat room 1'. I squinted my eyes to read the small text.

chat room one - 9 users

chat room two - 0 users

chat room three - 0 users

...And so on. I pressed my lips into a fine line.

immortalhd: this is the only chat room with people, come on, let's talk. i just need some friends

The chat went silent for a moment, then someone decided to speak up.

kootra: okay, we can talk. we need some new friends, too.

I smiled and continued chatting with these guys for the rest of the night. Then, every day when I woke up, I got back online to talk to them. It was a regular thing. I genuinely enjoyed talking to them. I had made some friends.

This whole daily chat thing went on for about a year, and I didn't mind one bit. They all seemed to like me and we all had somewhat similar interests. Everything was completely fine, until, one night, in the chat, I got this.

kootra: hey listen we've been talking for a while, want to meet up sometime?

I shook. These kinds of things never worked out. Most people lose the internet friends they made after meeting them in real life. I panicked and looked around my dark room, the only light coming from my computer screen. I replied.

immortalhd: yeah, i'm down.
