Q & A

~~Fourth~~

[Let's play 10 questions.]

That was the first message that popped up as soon as I opened my cell phone. I didn't recognize the number but since my curious ass was itching, I decided to reply anyway.

'Who is this?' I sent and kept the phone aside. But it only took a moment for them to reply as my phone buzzed again.

[I'll tell you at the end of the game, but only if you'll play with me.]

Interesting! Did I mention I am a curious cat? Yeah. So I replied.

'Rules?'

[None.]

Strange! A game without rules is as dangerous as sex without protection. But you won't refuse because it's tempting, right?

'Fine. I get to start though.' I texted back. Normally I wouldn't talk to strangers but I still had to pass sometime while waiting for my bus to reach home and I was hella bored.

[Deal.]

Ok. So I will start playing as per my rules. Firstly, I need to figure out who I am talking to.

'Q1. Do I know you?'

It took a bit longer for them to reply so I closed my phone and senselessly started looking outside the window trying to recall who is so free that they want to mess with me? It was cloudy outside. The entire sky was a mix of grey and white, which seemed to make everything else look washed out and boring. There was no snow on the ground yet, but I knew it wasn't far away. When my phone did finally buzz I nearly jumped out of my skin. Flipping it open the reply flashed across the small white screen.

[You know me.]

So it's someone I know! But the question still remains. Who? Before I could reply, my phone buzzed again.

[My turn. Q1. What's your favorite color?]

I typed back quickly, having nothing better to do. It was an innocent enough question after all.

'I have a lot. Mostly it's any shade of blue. My turn. Q2. Guy or girl?'

The reply was quicker than last. [Guy, unless you were referring to sexual preference, in which case I'd say: Any.] I could almost see the other person smirk at the end.

[Q2. Favorite music genres?]

I smiled as I typed back.

'I was asking you if you were a guy or a girl. Anyway. I like all music except R&B, but lean towards alternative and rock. Q3. Do you go to my school?'

Glancing out the bus window I realized I still had a good twenty minutes until my stop, then a five-minute walk home. I hated living so far away from school, but in reality it would be a ten-minute drive to or from school if not for all the other stops the public bus had to make. I was saving up for a car, but still hadn't pulled together enough, even with allowance and a job. I wish I had a car like so many others at my school did, the best of them belonging to my crush, a blue BMW. I love blue.

[Yup, I sure do go to your school. Q3: Do you have any siblings?]

What is he up to? Why is he asking such things? If he is in my school and he knows me, then he is someone that is not close to me. Otherwise such details are known to everyone who are around me. I frowned confused while drafting a reply.

'Yeah, I have an older brother in collage, and a little sister who just started high school. And a dog, if that counts.'

I don't know why I'm telling him this; if I get raped I will only have myself to blame.
