Unknown Number

Chapter 3

I didn't get anymore texts from my mystery stalker until the middle of my last class.

"M"
Looks like we have this class together, too ;)

Me
Cool! Are you in need of a lab partner?

I tried to hide the hope in my reply, but I failed miserably. I looked around the classroom before getting the reply.

"M"
Nope, sorry. But what I DO need is for someone to listen to a pun that I just came up with

Me
*sigh* fiiinnnneeee

"M"
It's almost like fate that we share this class, because we've got so much CHEMISTRY! :D

I mentally face-palmed.

Me
I hope you realize how terrible that was

"M"
Yup :)

I smiled to myself, then put my phone away. I felt it buzz in my pocket a few times before it finally fell silent.

"M"
Dan, I wasn't done talking to you!

"M"
Dan!

"M"
Daniel!!!

"M"
Bear! (Can I call you bear? Whatever, I'm calling you bear now)

"M"
Ok, fine! Be that way! No kisses for you!

I laughed. This "M" person just kept getting more and more interesting.

Me
If you're still wanting to talk to me as badly as you were earlier, would you be willing to answer some questions?

I got a reply almost instantly.

"M"
Absolutely! Can we play Truth or Dare?!

Me
Um...how's that gonna work over the phone?

"M"
Oh, right. We can just play Truth or Truth then

Me
Um...alright?

"M"
Cool! I'll go first

"M"
Truth or Truth?

I laughed. This was so stupid, but I found myself wanting to play along.

Me
Um...truth, I guess :)

"M"
What's you're favorite animal?

Me
Llama

"M"
Awesome! Mine's a lion

"M"
There's a freebie for ya ;)

Me
Haha. Ok, truth or truth?

"M"
Dare!

Me
Alright, I dare you to answer whatever I ask you

"M"
Um...alright...?

Me
What's your name?

I didn't get a reply for a few minutes. I was beginning to think that he left when my phone vibrated.

"M"
Dan, you know I can't answer that. Not yet anyway

Me
Why not? There's no harm in it, is there?

"M"
Well...

"M"
It's just better this way. At least for now.

"M"
Do you want to ask a different question or is it my turn?

The game seemed to have taken on a less fun atmosphere after I asked that. You idiot. Why would you even bring it up? I suddenly didn't really feel like playing anymore.

Me
Uh...actually, my mum is calling me down for dinner. Maybe we can talk more later?

"M"
Alright. xx

I smiled at the two kisses, then locked my phone and decided to try and sleep.
