Serve Your Shot

Spontaneous

Hi guys, I'm Tara and right now, I'm on my way to English class. I'm in a rush so first thing you will learn about me is that I am always late. Everytime

I swear its not something I'm proud of but everytime I'm about to exit my house, something important comes up

Like why the hell did Rosie have to throw up all over me. I have two dogs, Bell - golden retriever, absolute sunshine and Rosie - phalene, the grumpier one, but when she's around me, she turns into absolute sunshine as well

Today she probably ate something not so good for her stomach and as fast as she ate it she got it out as well. So I had to change clothes and there is no chance of me getting on time for my first class

I would enjoy our english classes if it weren't for our teacher, Mrs. Tommens

If you do one thing wrong, she'll hate you for the rest of school year. Yup and she gives detention so there is no way I will be in time for my horse riding lesson. Great!

Guess I'll go tommorow

I take a deep breath and open the door ,,Hello Tara, I almost thought we wont see you" she put on fake smile and continued not so friendly ,,You are 20 minutes late, that will be detention... second this week"

And today is tuesday... I told you I am not always on time haha

I sit down next to my friend Louise and start to space out, thinking about todays morning, when I catch teachers words

,,as I said, in this box is every single student of this school and you will draw one, who you will text with for the rest of school year. Like a pen pal, naturally, it will be anonymous and you can not reveal your name. We will be very strict about it. Like that, you will get to know other grades and students as well"

I was confused at first, but then it clicked ! One week ago we had to choose random, short username but nobody knew why. Now I know... the only priblem is that I choosed for fun this masterpiece

,,HughJass"

Great! Now thats awkward. No one will know its me at least.

Now, it was my turn to choose my pen pal so I stood up, walked towards that mysterious box and grabbed one piece of paper.

Back at my seat, I opened it and read

,,Guess.my.name"

Huh original, I thought. No way I could figure out who I will be texting with

,,now class lets go back to our topic"

The day went on slowly and I did in fact open our pen pal chatting app and wrote short message to my anonnymous pal

,,Hello there! You are my penpal I guess"

It took only 30 seconds and my phone lighted up with 2 unread messages

,,I almost thought you forgot about your new friend"
Second one was simple

,,nice to meet ya"
(In text messages T means Tara and A means anonymous)

T: Usually, I would start with ,,whats your name stranger ;)" but since this is the only rule we can't break, how is your day going so far ??

A: Today has been really wild, by that I mean spilled coffee on my favorite band tee and my mate broke his finger. I swear to lord it was an accident and I didnt mean to push him down stairs. It was selfdefence! Oops, sometimes my mouth won't shut and I mean texts as well. Anyways... I would love to reveal my identity, but since I can't, for now you can call me Matt. How can I call you ??
(From now A in text messages for annonymous changes to M - Matt)
