Hello Stranger ;)
My computer beeped. I ran over hoping it would be the person I had been talking to online. And it was! Ok so I joined up to a website and I got talking to someone called SumnerTimidBS He was really funny and always made me a lot happier when I felt upset. He really seemed to care about me.
Any way. I couldn’t talk to him much that night. The next day I was going to a fearless vampire killers meet up thingy with my friend. We both love the band. So I had to get an early night.
“So how is the guy you’re talking to?” I get off the train and that is the first thing my friend Lilly asks me. I laughed and linked arms with her. “Totally fine! I went to bed early last night so we didn’t get to talk for too long which sucked but I mean what ever today will be fun” Yup. I changed the conversation topic. I didn’t like talking to her about boys. She was I don’t know just someone who loves romance a little too much. She has read too many books and watched too many films.
We reached the FVK meeting point. A few fans were there. Some ran up to me and hugged me. “Oh my god Ren it’s me from twitter” Eventually everyone realised we all know each other from various websites. Twitter Tumblr Facebook.
“Ren tell everyone about that Sumner kid you talk to” Lilly nudged me in the ribs. “Urgh fine he is some guy I talk to on a website his username is SumnertimidBS and mine is Raytorolovesren_DMX and we just talk a lot that’s it” I nervously laughed and everyone else awed. It’s not even considerably cute. You know. It’s just two people talking online. Get over it.
Any way. FVK arrived. My friend ran straight up to Kier and started laughing and joking with him. By that I mean she flirted. I didn’t go over to anyone. Because I was scared. “Hello” I turned around. Barrone was standing there. “Hi” I smiled and tucked my hair behind my ear. We awkwardly stood there for a while until we began talking. “How are you” I smiled “I’m good thanks how are you?” He nodded and we both laughed.
I stood with my friend while she was with Laurence. Barrone was talking to Kier and another girl called Ellie. “Do you have online friends?” Kier shook his head. “I do. On a website she is called raytorolovesren_DMX” Everyone had heard the exact same thing and turned to face me. I looked at Barrone and he looked at me. “What? Guys what?” Barrone was laughing. He didn’t realise who I was. But I knew who he was. Ellie stood there and turned to me. “Ren will you tell Barrone the story you told us before?” My eyes stung. Only because I didn’t want Barrone to be my online buddy. This isn’t what I wanted. But I guess I had to tell him. “Well I have an online friend called SumnerTimidBS on a website and my username is raytorolovesren_DMX” Barrone looked at me. I handed my friend her camera and I walked off crying. One I had been made to look a fucking idiot and two Barrone now knows who he has been talking to and will hate me,
“Ren?” I heard a voice call my name. I looked up. It was Barrone. “Ren love what’s up?” I had my knees tucked up to my chest and I was crying. I was down a random alley and I had my back to the wall. Barrone sat in the same position next to me. He looked at me. I sighed. “I, I don’t know. I really enjoyed talking to him online, well you, online. I guess I’m disappointed not in who you are. But I’m disappointed it is you because you’ve found out it’s me so I’m sorry Barrone. I didn’t mean for this” I rested my head on my knees. Barrone shook his head. “No seriously Ren. I felt bad for you as in online you because I like online you then when I met you you I liked you and I felt bad for online you because I like her too but they’re the same person. I mean it’s complicated I get that. I’m sorry if I’ve proven a disappointment for you. At least I don’t know let me get you a drink or something seeing as though I made you cry” He stood up and put his hand out. I took hold of it and he pulled me up and we walked to a coffee shop.
*Barrone’s P.O.V.*
“Two espressos please” I decided that I would take Ren to a coffee shop. The reason wasn’t just because I had made her cry. It was mainly because well the online Ren was great, then when I met this Ren it was all so confusing then when I found out it was the same Ren it all seemed perfectly right. Yes it is still confusing but I took her to the coffee shop so I could get to know her better and just bond with her.
“There you go” I put the coffee down in front of her and she smiled at me. I sat opposite her. “My train back is in half an hour I’m sorry this will be short” I shook my head and put my cup down. She took a sip and I swallowed what was In my mouth “Not a problem. I’ll walk you to the station” She just smiled. “I’m really sorry about all of this Ren, I can tell just by the look on your face that you didn’t want this. I’m really sorry” She shook her head “No Barrone. It was just a shock you’re a really cool guy. I just think it was a shock.” She nervously laughed. I smiled at her. It was a shock. I really enjoyed not knowing who Ren was and I liked to imagine how we would meet. Actually Laurence used to write about her and I would draw pictures to go along with his words. I expected our first meeting to be a little bit nicer than what it was.
“Ok well I’m glad we finally met” Ren smiled at me. I nodded and put my hand out. “Ren if you want I’ll stop talking to you” She shook her head and threw her arms around my neck “No because I like you. And I want to talk to you.” I smiled, “By SumnerTimidBS” I laughed. She stepped one foot on the train “Hey erm Ren, Hows about we meet up sometime like a date…Or not a date which ever” She smiled and nodded at me. “We’ll see”
“Where the fuck did you go?” Kier ran up to me and dragged me in the van where everyone was waiting. “He met his online buddy” Drew nudged me In the ribs. “Yup. And well we’re going to meet up again sometime”
I got in the house and ran upstairs and logged my laptop on. A few moments later it beeped. Hello you hows about that date? ;)
