An Unexpected Encounter

A dark and steamy night

There I sat at 1 AM, alone on my cheap Chromebook which my school had given me :(( . It barely had any bandwidth, but I loved it anyway. I named it Booky.

Nonchalantly, I sat doing my Calc BC 56 homework in front of my mirror. I looked up, catching a glimpse of myself in the glass. I looked horrible! My messy strawberry blonde sock bun sat imperfectly on my head, while my thin metal-framed glasses slid down on my perfectly contoured nose. My baggy sweatshirt and shorts sat perfectly oversized underneath me :( why am I so hot :((

There I was, jamming out to One Direction tunes on my Booky and calculating advanced trigonometry derivatives when suddenly, I heard a "boo-doop!"

Looking up and pulling my headphones off my head, I glanced up, confused. What had made that sound? I looked at my screen, seeing only Pandora music open. I shrugged my shoulders and continued my braniac genius derivative sheet.

"They don't know about the things we do! They don't know about I Love Yous! But I betcha if they only knew! They'd just be jealous of us!" I sang. I think I'm a horrible singer, but everyone else says I'm great. I don't believe them :((.

Suddenly, I hear the "boo-doop!"again from inside my headphones. I pause the song, realizing I have a second window open- with one. Singular. Tab.

"Boo-doop!!"

I see what made the sound- Discord; I forgot I even had an account!! I mainly only use Twitch for my quirky live streams now, but now I use Discord for my fanbase.

Suddenly, I see a message from a username I don't recognize. I look at our mutual servers, realizing we have a Liam Payne server in common. Wow, a fellow Directioner!!!!

OMG! The message reads: "r u listening to 'They Don't Know About Us!' I love One Direction! Louis is so hot!"

"OMG! IKR!" I type back.

I look at the profile picture. A slender guy with lean muscle with a black compression top hugging his biceps appeared in front of me. He has an extremely defined jawline, with light brown hair swooping over his bronde blue purple light green hazel gray eyes, and tattoos on his veiny forearms. He has high cheekbones, with collarbones as defined as a bookshelf. He's so smart. He possesses an upside-down smile with plump pink lips, and is pictured cooking what seems to look like a superb meal. He looks about 17-my age! I really didn't expect a guy like him to be into One Direction. My dream man.

"is ur pfp u" I ask him.

"yeah" he replied back.

"ur hot"I say. I immediately cover my mouth. How did I just say that!! What was I thinking!! I do love a man who can cook though.

"Lol i get that a lot"he says. "I don't believe it though."

"Omg!" I literally feel the same way about my singing! And my gorgeousness! And my math skills! I feel my stomach flip a little as a gooey warmth rises in me.

The wind whooshes outside as the sun shows behind the clouds. It really is a good day.

I suddenly remember that I just sent him an embarrassing text.

"Yeah ppl r right u look stupid," I say to cover it up.

teehehe I'm stupid for u he says. I blush. 

what do u look like Gorgeous he asks.

I seductively changed my profile picture to a picture of me, mimicking his actions. I really am a bookworm, but I can be flirtatious when I want to be.

I wait for him to notice.

omg!!?!?!?! thats u?!!!!!?! he replies. whoa he says. U have such luscious, healthy wavy brown hair with a strawberry blonde balayage, with beautiful olive skin. Ur hazel orbs rly make me see myself in ur gaze. It's almost like i know you from just ur pfp.

I blush.

Wait a min.. R u that cool catgirl twitch streamer?????????????????????????????

I mean..some call me cool..idk,.. I reply, secretly knowing I am the #1 catgirl twitch streamer in the world. Last week I sold a mixture of my bathwater and sweat from my daily glute workout on Etsy and it sold for $10,000 per bottle.

I love your work!! Ur soo cool! You might think this is weird but I sleep with ur body pillow each night and I put a drop of ur bathwater and glute workout sweat essence in my own bathwater each night. It really helps me calm down each night!! Thank you for your service.

I send him a cat video with my Discord Nitro.

Wow it's so cute.

Like you bbg. I reply, subtly implying that I too am into him and his adorable obsessiveness.

meet me at the communal starbucks at 6 pm tomorrow i have a special surprise, he says.

Ahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
