Virtual Attraction [COMPLETE]

27| First Kiss

PSA: I promise this is not clickbait. There is a GENUINE kiss in this chapter :) Just read the whole thing...

When I woke up the next day, Victoria's bed was empty. Before heading downstairs to find something to eat, I slipped into some clothes I'd brought in my duffel bag and brushed through my hair quickly. Even though Victoria and I certainly weren't enemies anymore, I couldn't risk allowing anyone to see me looking hideous with my bed hair. Least of all, Adam.

Not that I cared what he thought of me.

Once I was in the bathroom, I placed the toilet seat down and checked my Fable account. There was a message in my inbox from BlackLight.

BlackLight_00: You just never get tired of attention, do you?

            He must've been responding to the message I'd sent my readers, about how I wasn't going to update for a few weeks.

Although I wasn't surprised to see his message, it hurt all the same. Regardless of whether I ignored him, or messaged him back, BlackLight wouldn't go away.

I typed a quick message back, hoping that any shreds of humanity that remained in him would convince him to leave me alone.

FireAndBlaze: Just go away. Please.

BlackLight_00: Why?

FireAndBlaze: Because my life is shit. And you're not helping.

BlackLight_00: Tell me.

            FireAndBlaze: So you can laugh at me?

BlackLight_00: Pretty much.

FireAndBlaze: And here I was thinking you had some kind of heart.

BlackLight_00: Don't ever think that.

FireAndBlaze: Why doesn't Fable have a block user button?

BlackLight_00: It does ;)

FireAndBlaze: ???!!!! It does??!

I had known that there was a 'block user' button, but for some strange reason, it hadn't occurred to me to use it on BlackLight.

BlackLight_00: You could've used it a long time ago, but you haven't. ;)

FireAndBlaze: So what?

BlackLight_00: So...maybe you do like me after all...

FireAndBlaze: I'm starting to get really uncomfortable about you sending me all those winky faces—

Blaze, he interrupted, when he realized I was rambling. Given that we were only online strangers, I hated that he knew my name. Stop trying to change the subject.

FireAndBlaze: Wait...How do you know my name is Blaze? Did those brats I babysit tell you? I said again. Oh my God. I'm going to kill them.

BlackLight_00: Time for my next question.

FireAndBlaze: You haven't earned your next question.

My phone buzzed with a new Fable notification:
