I'm walking to my car after my shift when my phone pings with a message notification from blackbook.

After unlocking it, it shows I have 2 messages from Liam Griffith. I don't know why the name sounds familiar but it does.

I click and a picture of a tanned shirtless boy eating m&m's fills my screen. I look closer and someone in black gloves is drilling the side of his torso.

Liam Griffith: I'm more of an m&m's guy. How do you feel about nuts?

I'm confused on what he's talking about till I see the message above his, which is from...me?

"What?!" I nearly drop my phone.

When did I message him? Why did I message him? I actually reload the message tab multiple times to check if it's a glitch in the system but it's not.

I look at the picture again and he has golden hair peeking from the black beanie on his head. Light grey eyes that resemble the ice blue found in Siberian Huskies and really long eyelashes.

He's shirtless so his dark jeans and the band of his briefs are on display along with the tattoos on his arms, chest and 6 pack abdomen.

I can't see his full face because part of it, is covered by the packet of candy he's holding up. But his sharp features shine through as he sticks his tongue out to show me the candy on it.

Who are you, Liam Griffith?

"Have a nice night Vecker." Jessie (the other waiter) startles me as she walks to her boyfriend's car.

"You too," I push my phone into the pocket of my coat and open my car door.

I try to retrace how or why I sent Liam a message on the drive home and all fingers point to Jessica. She must be playing a joke on me.

I doubt even this 'Liam Griffith' person is really the real one because as I pass the school campus, I see a large picture of Liam Griffith holding a basketball on the side of a building.
