The App

•Chapter Two•

As we were walking through campus, he kept zoning out. "you okay?" Why did I ask that? I don't even know this guy. For all I know, he could be a murderer, but I had to show him around. I might as well make the best of the situation. "I was just taking it all in. I'm not from here, so this is different." Where is he from, then? "That's exciting. New scenery." "It's rad, I guess."

We had arrived at the food court, and he excused himself for the bathroom. He was, interesting. I wasn't exactly sure about him, but by the time we reached here, I knew that his favorite color was ivory, he liked dogs, and he really enjoyed photography and technology, like me, but that wasn't what he was here for. Those were his minor subjects, but he was here to major in theatre. Fine arts always intrigued me, but never enough to really try it. He uses the words "Rad, groovy, coolio, and other words that weren't exactly audible. He didn't talk very loud unless he began to get excited about something, like talking about his classes, and his old friends. He seemed like had a pretty normal life. I mean it isn't like I could judg- "Hey Jasper! Wanna see this app? It just got put onto the App Store." "Uh, sure? I guess it couldn't hurt." If I remembered correctly, my phone has just enough storage for a few more apps. "Okay, so what is it called" "It's called Watasu Hon. I'm not exactly sure what it's about yet, though." I looked it up, and sure enough there it was. I'm pretty sure it was a Japanese name, but I didn't have the time to check into it. "Okay, I'm downloading it. Who told you about this app?" "I-I was actually searching the App Store, and it popped up on its own. Yep." He seemed hesitant, but I wasn't going to inquire any further. The app had gotten done downloading, and I opened it. There, it told me to pick a state, city, country, and school. After doing so, a list popped up, of all the people that were in school right now, as a pupil. It was in alphabetical order. G's H's I's, J's. I had searched for my name. It didn't pop up, for some reason. A glitch, maybe? I'll search Sebastian's. His will surely be on there. As I finally scrolled to the S category, I didn't see his name either. "Hey, Sebastian? How come our names aren't included in the app?" He began to look down and run the back of his neck. "Oh, well, um, I'm not sure. Probably just a glitch. Most people don't know this app exists!" All around me, though, I heard everyone buzzing about it. It was so odd to actually see this happening in such a short time spa- "Hey Jasper! Your hair looks really pretty today!" Said a random girl, with long bleach blonde hair. Wait, did she just.. compliment me? No has even talked to me here, and she just randomly compliments me? How weird. "Jasper, you okay? You seem a bit shaken up." I divert my attention back to Sebastian. "Oh yeah! I'm all good! No need to worry!" He softly smiles, and I don't know why, but it was so comforting. I haven't even known him for twenty four hours, but he seems so sweet. "So, Sebastian, I want to show you something tonight. Can you meet me at the front gate, around eleven PM, please?" He nodded his head toward me, and said "sounds good!" I give a half smile, and I begin to walk away. "Hey! Where ya goin?" I here him yell, I turn around while walking, "to class! It's my last one of the day! Yours is in the first floor of the second building, two rooms from the right!" He picked up his bag, and his phone, and ran to the building. I laughed, and turned around, only to bump into something. No, someone. "Hey! Sorry girl! I didn't mean to bump into ya!" The guy said. He had a jacket on, and the heat was blistering outside. Weird. "Oh, uh, yeah. No problem. It was my fault anyway." "Have I seen you before?" "No, I don't believe so. My name is Jasper, nice to meet you." "Colin, you too. I have to be getting to economics now, it was great meeting you!" He begins to run, and I start running too, since class starts in less than sixty seconds.
