Jack powered up his computer and the jingle sound played, In his senior year of high school. Jack logs onto the instant messaging on his computer and changes his profile image. His profile emoticon was a Lord of the Rings with a BIG yellow circle behind the white text. He also changed his screen name to BoopyDoopy. He sees that his friend wants to chat. He accepts and blue text says that emerly35 has logged on.

BoopyDoopy: Emily! Hello

BoopyDoopy: What movies?

emerly35: Your icon silly! I love the Lord of the rings.

BoopyDoopy: Thanks! Me too.

emerly35: so whats up?

Jack thinks of the stupidest answer he could think of.

BoopyDoopy: The Ceiling! What are you up to?

emerly35: haha! nothing really, just listening to some music =]

Jack smirks to himself, and thinks about what kind of music she could be listening to. Then another message pops up on the screen.

emerly35: do you like coldplay?

BoopyDoopy: i dont really know, ive never really listened to them

emerly35: you should definitely listen to them!! I really like them, their lyrics are in my info

emerly35: are you going to Travis's party tonight?

Jack decides to look at her info card and read what it says...

Emerly35's info

we live in a beautiful world.

yeah we do

yeah we do

~ coldplay ~

Why fear death, just because you know the song will end is that any reason not to listen. xXx

Jack thought to himself like, man that actually got me thinking.

"That's a really good quote" Jack said out loud for his brother , Steve, and his friend , Pete.

Pete asks, "What is?"

"Oh nothing," Jack says quietly, "its just a thing that this girl wrote."

"A GIRL?" Steve says very loud and dramatic.

They run off and Jack finally gets back to emily.
