What I Found on Twitter that Day

I'm Tristan Galileo, the super star, but I'm still only a high school freshman. Most people know me as the perfect guy, but I'm more than that, way more than that. I love philosophy, and people who just understand the universe. It has always interested me, hearing the things people would say about life, and the world, so I got a Twitter account to find awesome tweets about the world. It's a secret Twitter account since I'm famous and everyone constantly bothers me on my other account. I go by Thank You, and yes it's weird, but I love my fake name. 

As Thank You, I find a ton of really awesome people to follow and read their cool tweets, but there's a special tweet I find one day. It was less than 140 characters, but it really spoke to me. "People can all be different, yet this world is still the same, unchanged and boring." That's the sentence that made me follow her, it was just too true, and so I checked out all her tweets and I was blown away. This girl was a universe guru, yet she was a freshman like me. I was amazed, so I messaged this girl and that's when it began.

Her name was Raidos, or that's what I knew her as, but it was a fake name. We just started with simple messages and before I knew it, we were talking about everything and more. Our conversations got more and more complex with each message, and before I knew it, we were what one would call online friends.

I loved our messages, they were short, yet to the point and always interesting. After about a month of all our messages, I realized that Raidos was the only person I wanted to talk to anymore. I had been so caught up in messaging her that I literally forgot about my Twitter as Tristan Galileo and I only messaged her. My fans got a little upset that I was gone for a month, but I just covered and said I was recording my new song and a new movie. They believed it and I got to message Raidos without interruption.

We messaged like this for say maybe, four months before she told me her real name, Katherine. I loved her name, and since she shared, I did too, but only my first name. We were gradually getting closer and closer to each other. We started to talk about our selves a lot, and I got to know a lot about Katherine and her life. She was a girl from Baltimore, Maryland and she was pretty plain, but I liked that about her. She was the typical high school freshman I wish I could be.

I told her some stuff though too, like how I'm from Pennsylvania originally, but moved when I was 10 to LA. She thought it was so cool that I lived in LA and of course she kept talking about it, and wanted to know all about the high LA life, but I got her off of that topic quickly. I just told her another quick fact of my life, like when I was 5 I fell off my bed and broke my arm. Katherine sent me a video of her laughing because she thought it was too funny that I broke my arm so stupidly. I know landing on a toy train and breaking your arm is lame, but a whole 3 minutes of laughing, that's just harsh.

We talked all about my stupid stories and her stupid stories, but it was really cool. I even got to know where Raidos came from and how she got into the universe guru stuff. I loved everything I found out about her, and after a year, we were both 15, high school sophomores, and best friends. 

I guess that I found what I really needed that one special day on Twitter, a best friend.
