Not even five minutes after using PenPal and everyone was already posting screenshots of their conversations on the main forum page of the application.
anonymoususer1: I'm hungry, plz send me fifty bucks.
anonymoususer8: Send nudes first...
anonymoususer1 is typing...
anonymoususer1: Dude I could've been really hungry lol.
Keyboards pounding and computer mouses clicked all throughout the classroom. Everyone laughed and made jokes about what they would send to their anonymous pal. I left the main forum which seemed to be only morons and possibly people in my class and decided to start my own conversation. I found an anonymous person and decided I'd take it more seriously than everyone else.
anonymoususer7: Hey, I'm new to this app and it's for class but I intend to use it as intended.
I stared at the screen and finally a response.
anonymoususer85: Hey, I'm Nate. I actually signed up to find new friends : )
Shocked someone had responded, I glared across the room to see if anyone was pulling a prank on me. I mean no one in class is named Nate, and for our safety on the site it's recommended we didn't share any personal information. I customized my username to the number seven and changed Nate's to eighty-five. At first I would've changed it into his name, but I figured I'd better not.
7: Hello Nate, you can just call me Seven or Sev for short.
85: Sure thing Sev : ) So how's school, you seem like a smart girl especially if you're intending to use this site as intended. Most people usually use it for a joke.
85 sent you a wink
I smiled inside while my face was unemotional. I kept looking over to see if someone was joking still.
7: So where are you if you don't mind
85: Well I'm currently Colorado. I would be in school but I kinda got suspended for fighting.
7: Fighting?
85: Well I'm a bit ashamed of it, but I was bullied by some jerks and let it get the best of me. I just snapped.
7: Wow... Atleast you stand up to your bullies. And I'm in California currently, I'd tell you exactly but it'd be too much personal info.
85: Nice, and someone is bothering you?
7: Not someone, but alot of ppl. Mainly these two douchebags in my class. They always bother me and push stuff to the extreme. About a week ago they filled my locker with raisins. And yesterday when I came from the bathroom they filled my backpack with yogurt. Took forever to dry my books. But you know, nothing major, the usual bullies who're usually insecure.
7 sent a wink
85: I'd teach those jerks a lesson Sev. I hate bullies so much and I'd just love to see them die.
7: You don't understand how many times I've thought of it, I'm just not capable to do something so sick.
85: You're not, but I am.
