Just Hit 'send' - The High School Years by Grasshopper Ch. 3

'10,000,000 x -0 squared,' Jordan laughed outloud. He replied:

redpill:

"You stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." Man, The Matrix is my favorite, I mean really all time favorite movie.

Are you getting excited about Matrix II? I can't wait ! There's a website

I found that has EVERYTHING !"

Is it okay if I ask if LionsDen is a clue to your name? I just got a feeling about it !"

J

Seeker:

"Yeah. The Matrix totally blew me away. I have one of the new posters on my wall already. What's the website? I want to go see.

It's okay...My name is Daniel, Danny really. I just thought that was kind of funny. Lame, huh?

Can I know your name?"

Danny

Danny:

"Matrix:revisited@. Go and tell me what you think. Look at the flash clips.

I thought it would be Daniel. Not lame at all........cool.

My name is Jordan.

Tell me what music you like? What books do you read?"

Jordan

They talked way into the night. Two lonely boys connected by phone lines, asking as many questions as seemed proper, dying to ask many that weren't, but it was all too new, too fragile.

Danny:

"I hate to break this up but it's 3:00. School tomorrow, right? Do you want to talk some more tomorrow night?

J

Jordy:

"Yeah, school. I know. Please, yes. This playing e-mail tag is slow. Wanna try MSN?"

D

They made plans to talk tomorrow night at 9:00. Both boys shut down their computers, Danny to sleep deeply for the first time in a long while and Jordan, who sat staring at the screen until he finally dozed off.

The next day at school, Jordan kept going over things that Danny had said the night before. Things like: 'I do that too' and 'I can't believe you said that' and 'that's way cool, Jordy'. Jordan didn't even think Danny realized he had already called him by his nickname like they were old friends.

"Hey, Jordan," he heard his name and turned a 180 to see who was behind him. Debbie Caster caught up with him and linked arms, not too subtly brushing her hip against his. 'Okay, here we go," he thought, disinterested but smiling kindly. "Hey, Deb."

"Take me to the dance after the Lake McGregor game Friday, Jordan, pleeease?" she asked in her most um.......seductive tone. Apparently this worked. Jordan could see Griff walking toward them, grinning. What the hell. He loved to dance. "Sure,Deb. Hey, Griff, you got a date for Friday?"

"Yeah, you know it. Wanna go with?" he replied, knowing that Jordan always wanted to go with.

"Yeah. Can Debbie and I catch a ride?" Jordan asked.

"Sure. I'm meeting Kelly at the dance. We'll go get some food after, K, Debs?" he asked.

"Can't I sit with you at the game, Jordan?" she asked, using the tone again.

He rolled his eyes at Griff, needing an escape. His friend blocked Debbie with a "you know the guys always sit together.......you wanna dance, we'll dance but football? That's like sacred. Be a good girl." He swatted her on the butt and grabbed Jordan's arm. "I gotta talk to the man. 'Scuse us, Debbie," and he dragged Jordan away.........quite willingly.
