It All Started With Words

Character Backstories (1)

Character backstories  (chapter 1):
Vanessa and Joe,

I'm sorry for taking so long,
It's just that I have school.

(A/N: Vanessa gives Joe the nicknames:
Joey or Bait Guy,
Joe calls Vanessa "Vanny" or"Vanna"
I like Vanna more, so it'll be used frequently)

(Familiar handwriting,
you guessed it, it's me, Vanessa, )
(Yep, I'm writing this backstory)
About how I met  Joey, the bait guy in high school

[Prologue]

Lake Monroe High  School

Another day in school,
how fun..
*bell rings *
Time for first period..

Okay, class, today we're learning about how Windows computers can be compatible today.

Any questions?

* Hand raises*
Yes, Joe?

Aren't they already compatible?

Well, sometimes they can have some errors and lags when you least expect it.

Windows XP isn't that laggy,
It's just the older versions.

Anyways, we're going to test it.

*startup*

Huh? It works..
Yes, it's just that the older versions of Windows that lag, you just upgrade to a new version that stops the lag.

Huh, you're right.

[After class]
Okay, next class,
Physics,

(he was walking to class, but then he stopped and saw a beautiful girl)

Now, I know what you're thinking..
Was it another pretty girl?
Nope, it was me.
And boy, was I popular?!
Sure was, umm anyways,
Back to the story.

Wow..
who's that?

What?! Are you crazy?! (Some random student said)
That's Vanessa Taylor Gonzalez,
She's really popular.

If you want to talk to her, eh, good luck with that pal.

Me?! Talk to her?!
No way, she'll never talk to me.
I'll be on my way to class already.

chicken,
Be quiet.

I'm just, on my way, so goodbye.

Okay..?

(later)

Another class, great. How fun.
*gasp* That's Vanessa there,
I should hide. She'll see me.

So then I was like, what the hell were they thinking?!
I know, right?! So, like, agreeable.

I'm gonna hide now,
(hides in the corner)

What?
Did you see that, Vanessa?

Oh my god, yeah,
Is it a creep?!

Nah, Imma see myself.

Hello? Whoever is there, get yourself out here.

Wait, are you..?

Vanessa Taylor Gonzalez?!

Yes, sirr, who are you??

Joseph.  Joseph Mason,
Huh, nice to meet you, I guess,
Why were yah hidin' from me, pal'?

Well, everybody talks to you..
so I wanted to have a chance to talk with you..
Aww, you got a little crushy crush on me?

(he flushed)
What?! No! I just met yah. Let's just start off as friends, m'kay?!

You know what, deal.

(Did I just become with friends with the most popular girl in the school?!)

(Or in other cases, my crush...)

[Couple of weeks later]

Oh, come on!
People teasin Joey, the bait guy?!
how stupid.

I'll handle it.

Are you sure bout it, Vanna?
Chill out, bait guy. It'll be fine,
I'm like the most popular girl in school.
They'll hella listen to me.

Okay.. good luck..

[later]
See? Told ya.

What did you tell em?!

To back off. It was that easy.
Huh, you're a good friend,  Vanna.
Gees, thanks so much, bait guy.

(Damn,  he's cute, now that I realize it)
(How flirtatious I am)

So, is there anything you plan to do.. after graduation?
I plan to become an actress. But I'm not sure if I got the skills or qualities.
Oh, come on, you've been in plays before.
and always got the lead role.

It's not about the lead roles. It's about my talent. I highly doubt anybody would be my fan anyway.

I mean, I would.
Huh?
I'd be your first fan.
(She gives a smile)
Gee, thanks, so what bout you, bait guy?
I want to do something more important with my life, like own my own bait shop.

That seems interesting for you, doesn't it?
It does,

(I have a feeling I should confess to this girl after graduation. It'd be better that way anyway)

[3 semesters later]
[both of them are finally seniors]

Can you like believe we were friends for 3 years?!
How cool was that.

Cool, (the guy says with a frown)
Aww, what's up with u bait guy?

What if we don't see each other again after graduation.
Aw, come on, you dummy!
Of course, we'll see each other after graduation.

(I'll confess to him then)
(Hopefully, she feels the same way..)

(I'm planning to confess to him/her
During graduation)

(they're supposed to say it at the same time. That's why I put him/her)

[1 day before graduation]

Weeks have passed, months have gone by,
almost for it to be the Class of 1992 graduation.

*sigh*
(Okay, tomorrow is graduation)
(I need to be ready to tell Vanessa the truth)

(Graduation Day)
Next up for salutatorions are...

Joseph Mason and Vanessa Taylor Gonzalez,

(Woah, we just got called up at the same time,
Oh well)

Congratulations, all Lake Monroe High School graduates!
We will all miss you here. Thank you for being here.

(After)

I'll be on my way..
Vanna wait!
(he grabs her hand)
Heh? Aww, what's up, bait guy?
Are you gonna miss me?

I was actually gonna tell you something.
(Huh, I was going to say that.)
(He beat me to it.)

Let me guess, you "like like" me?
Huh?

What?! How'd you know?!
Oh, come on, silly!
It was obvious since freshman year.
Also.. cause I feel the same way..

Oh,

sure, I'll be your little actress for the rest of your life.

So you said an actress needs quality skills?

Heh, kissing skills, I'm good at.
(she leans in for a kiss)

[End]

This takes me back,  I'm actually grateful for these memories.

Welp, It's Vanessa,  or in other cases,
Vanna, and this backstory is put in a close.
