        "Who's that girl? Who's that girl? It's Jess!"


I sighed, slumped on the couch as I dully watched New Girl on the television. I think I might've even loved this show if I hadn't known just how utterly ridiculous it was in terms of reality. I wished reality was that way. When Jess lost her job, she slept with men and danced around with her loving flatmates. When Jess felt low, three guys appeared at her bedroom door struggling to make her smile. Why couldn't I be Jess?

Bzzt.

I jumped, looking down at my blinking phone. I'd gotten a text.  Was it from Linda? I only used my phone for work, after all. Maybe she wanted to offer me my job back? Oh, please. I didn't know who else would hire me. I had no skills or training. I picked up my phone and looked at the notification. It was from an unknown number. My heart sank. I'd been stupid to even think for a second I would get my job back. I blinked away tears and read the message.

-Hey. :)


I sighed and typed the quick reply before turning back to the TV:

Sorry. U've got the wrong #.-

My phone buzzed again seconds later and I figured whoever it was was sending me a quick 'k', or 'sorry bout that'. But what I read was nothing like that. 

-Or maybe the right one? ;)

I stared at the message for a moment, and then, bored out of my mind, decided to type a reply. I had nothing better to do, and my slight curiosity took my mind off of everything else.

Who is this?-

They replied in lightening speed.

-Just a bored stranger texting a random number.

Soon, we were texting back and forth, and I couldn't understand it, but it felt right. It felt nice. And I didn't need anything else right then, because nothing else mattered. It just sort of...slid away. It was good. It felt good.

Same here, I guess.-

-What are you up to?

Watching random TV.- 

U?-

-Just talking to you. :)

I smiled then. I felt almost important.

What's your name?-

-It doesn't matter. Let's forget about all that stuff. Let's just talk.

I liked that. And we talked. And it was...

Good.
