"You should Skype call him," Charlotte said with a mouthful of food as we sat eating lunch together. "That would be so cute!"

I scoffed, rolled my eyes and laughed. "You just want to see him again, don't you?" It was so much easier to joke about this with her now.

She looked shifty as she finished her sandwich and wiped her mouth. "O-of course not..." She purposely stuttered, and I laughed again.

I shook my head. "Who knows if he even wants to?"

Charlotte dropped her hands and sighed at me. "Gee, you've got to get over this self-confidence thing; he obviously has some kind of interest in you if he sends you kisses and frequently flirts with you."

"Yeah, well..." I started, but Charlotte cut me off by raising her hand.

"Well nothing," She took a determined bite of her second sandwich. "You go home tonight and you demand his Skype username!" I raised an eyebrow at her and she giggled. "Okay, ask politely. I'm pretty certain he'll say yes."

I shrugged and took a large gulp of my Lucozade. "I suppose it couldn't hurt. And it would be nice to see his face while he's talking to me." She patted me on the back encouragingly and we both stood up with our bags to return to work. "I'll do it for you." I smiled coyly and she pulled me into a quick hug before we parted ways.

< So I got this idea and you don't have to say yes, but I thought you might like to.

> Go on...

< Don't feel pressured to say yes or anything, though, it just may have appealed to you

> What is it?

< I'm a bit nervous, can you tell?

> Ffs, Georgia, spit it out! XD

I took a deep breath and shakily began to type; I don't know why I was so anxious, I had been flirting and talking with no problems before.

< Well...would you want to Skype?

> I actually thought you'd never ask!

< Wait, really?

> Hahahaha, really! I can't live off messages with you – I need to see your face again, I'm thinking ;)

< Oh my God! So I didn't just make a fool of myself?

> No, you doof :D I wanted exactly the same thing :) My username is.....MARKIPLIER! :O

< No, it's not :p

> You're right, I think I'd get added quite a lot ;D It's MarkicraftEF – I made it ages ago, okay?

< Hahaha, not MarkleSparklez? ;)

> Oh Jesus. That's probably your username you stalker ;)

< HEY, who messaged who first, stalker? ;)

Almost all of me was overjoyed that, not only had he accepted, but he had wanted to add me on Skype too, while the other part of me was shocked – the shocked element of me would always be there whenever I talked to Mark. I logged onto Skype at that moment and added Mark from my account, to which he took a few minutes to accept. Deciding to push my luck, I pressed call, chickening out on a video call.

"I'm just doing some finishing touches to editing, I'll be with you in a bit :)" he typed after he didn't answer. I expected this, so I turned on TV, although I didn't watch it while I waited for a message. After a while, however, I ended up watching an episode of The Simpsons, which I hadn't watched an episode of for months, and soon forgot about waiting for a response.
