I stood, staring at the vast expanse of the forest green in front of me. There was a light dusting of snow on the tree's making them look like they were sprinkled with icing sugar. The wind was howling ever so slightly making the wintery scene in front of me seem almost eery. I grasped the parka I had on tighter. The scarf that was tied around my neck was flailing loosely. The sun was setting, which caused the icy snow to shine brightly like little diamonds. I placed a strand of hair behind my ear and smiled. I loved winter.

A sudden buzz in my pocket startled me from my stupor. I squinted at the writing on the screen. Hmm, a new text message I wonder whom it is from?

Text message from: 787-998-6543: Hello Maddy

I frowned, who was this and how did they get my number let alone know my name? I pocketed my phone and continued to stare at the wintery scene in front of me. My phone vibrated again replaying the same message. I decided this person was not going to give up so I replied.

789-222-1324: Wait, who are you?

I waited patiently for a reply. After about ten minutes I started getting anxious.

Text message from: 787-998-6543: I have no name...

I sat down at my desk in front of my window. The birds were singing outside and chirping loudly. I noticed the sun shining brightly as ever. I put my pencil to my paper and began to write furiously. An hour later I had only written two pages. I sighed and got up out of my chair and headed for the kitchen.

My phone vibrated in my left jean pocket. I pulled it out and squinted at the writing on the screen.

Text from: 787-998-6543: Hey Maddy what's up?

I frowned. I did not know this number at all and how do they know my name?

I replied: Who are you?

Text from: 787-998-6543: I don't have a name...

Everyone has a name right? They have legal obligations. I sat down on the side of my bed and continued typing

Maddy: Everyone has a name

Text from: 787-998-6543: I don't...

I wondered if this was some kind of prank by one of my friends.

Maddy: Is this Ryan?

Text from: 787-998-6543: this is not Ryan

This has to be one of my friends right?

Maddy: is this Kayla?

Text from: 787-998-6543: I am not one of your friends

Maddy: Please tell me your name or give me a clue to who you are

Text from: 787-998-6543: It starts with a D....

Maddy: is it Drake? Dane? Daniel? Don? Dorian?

Text from: 787-998-6543: Stop guessing you are way off..

I thought I had said all of the D names for boys I could think of.

Maddy: your a very elusive boy Damian

The texting stopped. No new texts from the guy had appeared on my screen.

Maddy: ah ha I found out who you are. Your name is Damian.

Text from: 787-998-6543 ...

Maddy: Mr. Damian will you tell me your last name?

Text from: 787-998-6543 I have to go bye..

Maddy: bye?

I stood there awestruck... Who was this Damian? And how in the hell did he get my number
