Okay, this was a little crazy for me. Something new and something I didn't plan to keep up for too long. I logged onto Sofia's profile. Obviously Zoe'd been on because she'd changed the picture to some incredibly gorgeous girl. She was a model. There was no way Marcus would believe she was real! Well, he did accept her a couple days before so there was a chance. Even then, he'd probably think that she's (or I?) some mental fan. I mean...Technically "she" didn't even exist, but still...
Marcus Butler is Online, I noticed - the only person online. It was nearly 3 am and I'd had a couple drinks over Zoe's, this was happening.
Sofia: Hey Marcus.
Marcus: Hey, who is this?
Marcus: ...
Sofia: I'm a friend of Zoe's, we met at her birthday party last year.
I lied. Of course I lied. What else was I supposed to do? I'd have to call Zoe and let her know about this so she wouldn't slip.
Marcus: Oh, I think I remember you!
Marcus: You're gorgeous, may I add?
Sofia: Why thank you, Marcus. You're quite a looker yourself.
Why in the world was I blushing? He wasn't talking about me. Sigh...
Sofia: So, tell me about yourself...
Marcus: Well, I live in Brighton. I like making videos, travelling, and having fun.
Marcus: Why don't you tell me about you?
This is obviously where it was going to get hard. I thought for a few moments...
Sofia: I live in London. I like to eat, I like dancing, reading, and shopping.
All were true except where I lived. I obviously lived in Brighton, just a couple minutes from Marcus.
Marcus: God, you're just like my friend, Alfie.
Shit. Shit. Shit. He knew. I'm done.
Sofia: ...?
Marcus: Oh, he's a great guy! We're really great friends, someone I can be around all the time!
Can we say PHEW? But wow, did Marcus really say that? Aw, that was sweet. I could totally be around him all the time too!
Sofia: I thought you were implying that I was like a boy. You caught yourself though ;)
Marcus: You sound like an interesting girl. I'd love to talk more, but I'm going to head off to bed now. Do you have a number?
Oh shit, what now? Holy crap.
Sofia: Um no, actually... It was stolen when I was at the clubs last but I'll be getting a new one soon!
Marcus: Okay, then we'll talk on here another time? Goodnight, Sofia.
Sofia? Right, Sofia!
Sofia: Goodnight, Marcus!
Marcus Butler is offline, I watched his status change.
That was exhilerating. That rush was everything I needed. Never did I ever think I'd flirt with Marcus, even if I had to switch identities to do so. I wonder if Marcus was into "Sofia" because of her looks or because of her personality? My personality. And what was that whole bringing-up-Alfie thing about? I definitely needed to call Zoe in the morning!
