Rina laid down on her bed and read her favorite book while listening to her favorite J-rock band 'SCANDAL'. She was quite enjoying her private time alone. But then..
Her phone started vibrating and there was one active message. She unlocked her phone and saw the message. The number was quite unfamiliar to her.
In just a matter of seconds, she receive a new message once again! It was from the same number again.
"You're Rina, right?" the unknown number asked. Rina flipped out with her eyes wide open paired along with her opened jaw. She was quite surprised that this unknown person knows her name! She thought it was one of her classmates' silly jokes again.
"Well, yeah~ How'd you know? Is this some kind of prank?" Rina sent while patiently waiting for the reply, leaving her book opened at the edge of the bed. A whole minute passed when she saw her phone vibrating again and knew that it was from the unknown user again.
"Oh, yey! I got the right number! ^O^)/ And, why would you think this is some kind of prank? o.O" was the message Rina received. The user cheered with joy when the user knew that he got the right number. Rina was completely dumbstruck. Who the hell is this person?! I bet this guy has interest in her just by seeing at the way he replies at her messages.
Rina typed furiously on her phone with her teeth clenching with each other. She typed as fast as she could. Well, that's how every girl types when they're pissed, but Rina is the type of girl you don't want to mess with. Trust me.
"Huh?! How'd you get my number?! Tell me!" Rina demanded as she sent her message. The user was quite scared of her now. He slowly replied to her message.
"Woah, woah. Calm down, I'm a friendly person and I mean no harm to anyone. You can trust me. And, I'll answer your question later. Trust me." Rina received his message and started to calm down. She smiled since she knew that this person means no harm to anyone.
"Oh. You better answer my question later."
"I will, I will. Haha, so.. whatcha' up to right now?"
"I'm replying to your messages. duuuh~"
"Seems like your having fun replying to my messages, Rina."
"Shut up. Just tell me who you are!"
"Later, later~ Haha, no need to shout at me."
"It's not like you can hear me or stuff."
"Hmm.. you got a point there. Well, you have to sleep now. It's already 9:30pm and it's pass your bedtime."
Rina went to check the time and it turns out to be really 9:30pm! Wow, time sure can fly fast. She still has classes tomorrow and she knew she might end up like a zombie tomorrow! Rina just replied the unknown user with a, "Goodnight. Thanks for the heads up. ^O^)/ Sweet dreams!~" and went to bed after that.
It was Tuesday, the second day of the week. She was only three days left to survive this hell.
I greeted the unknown user with a "Good morning to you too, stranger. :)How was your sleep?" and asked that question while I send it to him.
"It was fine. Thank you for asking~ How about yours?"
"It was fine, too. I'm a bit sleepy for texting with you last night."
"Oh! I'm really sorry! Is there anything I can do in return? :o"
"Well, you could tell me who you really are. I'm extremely curious of who you are, y'know? x)"
"Okay." was the last response she sent.
Haruna and Rina went to school together just in time the bell rang. We both parted our ways and went to our respective classroom.
And, now I'm back to reality. I could really feel my body shutting down against me. No, no.. I don't want to end up getting scolded by the teacher again. Argh, I just can't believe that I passed my curfew time just to text that stranger. But still, I'm going to meet him today, right?
After hours and hours of listening to the teacher's complicated discussions, the bell finally rang after a million years. I could feel my spirits lighting up and I could feel all my energy rising up really fast. I stood up and gave my muscles a little stretching. I went to the rooftop to eat with Haruna when I saw her taking out her phone, texting with someone, I felt my phone vibrating, so I picked it up and opened the message.
"
"Yeah, I was about to. You should eat as well. ^O^)"
"I'm already eating. :3"
Rina faced up the eating Haruna that was eating right in front of her which her very suspicious.
"Oh, that's good. I should eat now. Bye! ^^"
I walked towards Haruna and ate together then talked about random stuff until the bell rang, we bid our farewells once again and went to our classrooms.
I can't stop thinking who is that person I'm really communicating through the phone. Well, at least he's gonna show himself after classes, right? That wouldn't a problem though. I just hope the bell rings any second now.
* * * * *
Finally! The bell rang! I quickly took my bag and went to the school's main gate and saw Haruna standing with her bag and phone.
"Hey, Rina!" she shouted, waving her hand to me, signalling me to come to her.
"Ah, Haru-chan!" Rina said.
"So, wanna go home now?" Haruna asked.
"Uhh.. I still have to wait for someone."
"Oh, you mean this?" Haruna said as she took out her phone with Rina's replies to her.
"Ehhh?! That was you all along?!" Rina exclaimed with her eyes widening and her jaw dropping at the same time.
"Uh huh~" Haruna replied joyfully.
"H-how'd you get my phone number?!"
"From your classmate, Tomomi." Haruna answered.
Argh, I can't believe that I totally forgot that Tomomi has my number even if we're not that close.
"Haaa~ At least I have your number now." Rina sighed in relief as wiped off the sweat going down to her face.
"Shall we go now?"
"Hai, hai~"
Both of us then went to our homes afterwards and spent the whole night texting each other.
