~Story 6: Through a Computer Screen~

Suggested by: Anonymous
(Hope's POV)

Another boring, ordinary day at college. Nothing new. Well.... except my technology teacher isn't here. That means full rain over the computers! This is the best day ever! Unfortunately, my best friend was out sick. We would usually go head to head in some type of game when the teacher wasn't here. But not today.

So I sat in my seat at my computer and immediately log into my SoundCloud and put my head phones in. Just as I put them in I am immediately sandwiched in between two people. Well to be more particular, I am sat in the middle, of two boys, who happen to be best friends, and I just so happen to have a huge crush on one of them. Blair and Blake, or as I like to call them, "The Two Inseparable Idiots". Why does these happen to me? WHY ME?

I pull up another tab and log into my Wattpad account. Completely ignoring the fact that they are talking across me. I turn my head phones up all the way to block out their noise....and the rest of the classes. I go to my main book and start to deeply think about about what I should write. I put my elbows on the desk and rest my head in my heads, causing my long brown hair to block my view of both boys. I close my eyes and start to picture different scenarios.

I open my eyes when I have this sense of movement around me. It's strange, I can sense people moving around me. Does this happen to anyone else, or am I just strange?I look at the boy to my right to see he has my computer mouse and is scrolling through the description of my characters. I quickly take it back not wanting him to go any further. Blair tapped me on the shoulder and I turn my attention towards him, taking my headphones out.

"Why is this character description like Blake?" He asked.

"No it's not. I wrote this before I meet you." I lied.

"Then why is the description so much like me?" Blake asked causing me to turn my attention to him.

"Coincidence?" I said more like a question.

"How is that possible?" Blair asked making me turn back to him.

"I don't know. Just happens." I said.

"What is this song called?" Blake asked, causing me to turn back to him.

He had added his headphones to the second headphone jack in my computer, allowing him to hear what I was listening to.

"Why do you care?" I asked.

"Because I like it." He said, continuing to listen to the music, bobbing his head to the beat.

"Let me see." I said and pulled up the second tab.

"Made of Something by NCS." I said.

"I should start coming to you for music advice." He said.

"How about a deal?" I asked.

He shook his head, indicating I can continue.

"I'll let you listen only if you don't question anything on my screen." I offered.

"Deal." He said. And with that he turned around and started to do something on his computer.

That's when it came to me. I quickly started to write what came to my head. One valuable thing I have learned, is if you base your writing on your life, you can expand it into the impossible. And allow yourself to be emerged in dreams that only exist for real in a fictional book. My fingers press the keys at a rapid speed, eager to get everything in my head, down onto the screen.

I notice out of the corner of my eye Blake kept staring between me and the screen. Moments later he gets up and walks away. I pay him no mind, to busy trying to get everything down before I forget it. Blair taps my shoulder again and I look at him taking out one headphone.

"Is that character really based on Blake? I won't tell him if it is. You know you can trust me." He asks/said.

I thought about telling Blair the truth. And I do trust him. I use to tell him everything. He would give me great advice and would never say a word about what I said to anyone. Maybe I should tell him.

"Um....ya....it ...kinda is." I said awkwardly.

"So you do like him!" Aiden whisper yells.

"Maybe." I answered vaguely.

"You going to say anything?" He asked.

"Nope." I said pooping the 'p'.

"Why?" He questioned.

"Because I'll look like an idiot if he doesn't like me back!" I whisper yelled.

"Look at your computer screen." He said with a smirk.

I look over at my computer screen to see something written in my chapter that I didn't put there. "Look at the teachers desk." It said. I look up and see that Blake is sat at the teachers desk. You see, in my school the technology teacher has a special thing on her computer that gives her full control over everyone's computer in the room. So with Blake sitting at her desk and the substitute not paying attention, he has full control over everyone's computer.

I look back at my screen to see he is typing something. Very slowly. "I........like..........you.........a......lot" I said in my head reading it after a word was completed. I look at Blair confused. He just smiles at me and points back to the computer screen."So, what do you say? You and me go to lunch during free period?" I read.

I look up from the screen to Blake and nod my head. He jumps up in excitement and falls off the chair. I chuckle at his stupidity and Blair burst out laughing, causing him to fall out of his chair.

-Time Skip Years Later-

Years later we got married, had children, and had a wonderful life together. In stories they talk about a girl accidentally spilling her coffee on some guy and they end up falling for each other. But never would I have thought I would find my soulmate.......
