Veer left, now right. Faster. Right, left—I'm almost at maximum speed!
BRRR BRRR BRRR.
My pager buzzes loudly on my bedside table, pulling me out of the intense concentration on my Wave Race video game. My eyes dart to it—what if it's Ren?
My eyes jump back to the screen—left, right, jump. I want to get it, but I'm right in the middle of my game. I'm gonna beat my best time!
"Mmmm... Fuck it."
I drop the controller and go check my message. It is from her. YES!
07734—(or hELLO, if you turn the pager upside down)
I grin as I feel the tingly buzz of having contact with her. Pulling my telephone onto my bed as far as the cord will let me, I page her 1-177155-4.
A smirk slowly spreads over my face as I imagine her cute, confused face, trying to figure out what this means and how her pretty smile might light up if she figures out the 177 kinda looks like an 'm' and the open four sort of like a u with a long tail.
Admittedly, my brother has taught me a lot of cool things and even tips about stuff with girls. Too bad he's such a jerkoff to me sometimes. If she decodes it, she'll see I paged her—I miss you. Hmm, I wonder if I'll have to explain it to her...
A jolt runs up my arm as my pager suddenly buzzes again in my hand, and my breath catches as I read what she paged me back—117-2 (Me too). She is fucking smart. My knee starts to bounce.
