Catfish: Two People Already in Love

Chapter one

I sigh as I type out the e-mail to Justin. This would be the hardest thing I had ever done. I was going to ask him to meet me. He wouldn’t know I was me until we met. He was in love with Ariana a normal teenage girl from California. He would hate me when he found out I was a pathetic girl with pink hair from New York City. My fingers brush the keyboard furiously hoping to finish before I gave up on what I had started.

Justin

                This isn’t the way I wanted to do this but I have to. I want to meet you face to face. I understand if you don’t want to but please I feel like I love you. Oh my god I can’t believe I just said that. I told myself when I started this e-mail I wouldn’t go back and change things because I wanted this to be all my emotions and not me taking time to nitpick and make it grammatically perfect. Please please consider this. I want to meet you with all my heart. I just hope you don’t hate me when we do. I know you are super busy with your job and stuff but please try. For me.  I can’t wait to meet you in person. Hopefully you consider it. But if not I am sorry. I love you.

                                                                                                                                                                Love,

                                                                                                                                                                Ariana

I hit send before I could delete it and shoved the computer away from me across the bed. I stare at it for a few moments before slamming it shut and dumping it on top of the pile of clothes at the end of my bed and pull my knees up to my chest. I jump when my phone starts blaring Justin’s ringtone. I start gasping and stare at his smiling face on the screen. I slowly answer it on the third ring.

“Hello?” I whisper.

“Princess.” He groans. “I could never hate you. You know that right. I love you too. You know I want to meet you but I just I don’t know… I am traveling all over with my cousin’s band and we won’t be in California for another few months. We are in New York right now.”

“Really! I’m in New York visiting my cousins for the summer.” I blurt out desperate to find a way to meet him.

“Really?” He says shocked. “well um I’ll see if I can get away for a few hours. I don’t know if I will be able to though. I really will try though. I swear.”

“Thank you Justin. It means the world to me. Thank you.”

“Anything for you princess. I love you. I have to go Band junk to do you know the drill. I will call you when I can get away I promise.” He says and I hear loud music in the back ground.

“Bye! I love you!” I say and hang up quickly so he can get to work. I don’t really know much about his work. Just that he travels with his cousin’s band around the world while they are on tour. I don’t remember the name of the band really but oh well. I jump up and do a little happy dance around my room. Then reality hits and I sink to the floor against my closet door. He is going to hate me. I start sobbing and pull my knees up to my chest. I hear voices in the hallway and my door bangs open to reveal my best friends. Lauren and Kayle freeze when they see me setting on the floor with my eyes all puffy . They rush forward babbling at top speed concerned as they plop down on either side of me.

“Oh my god will you two shut up.” I scream hiding my face in my hands. They are quiet immediately. “I’m meeting him. Justin.”

“Oh my god the one you are catfishing? Did you tell him?”
