ESan_Skate42Lens: You're here

NyctoSolum17: And?

ESan_Skate42Lens: I thought you might not want to chat with me anymore

ESan_Skate42Lens: You seemed kind of disappointed last time

NyctoSolum17: ...

NyctoSolum17: Maybe a little.

ESan_Skate42Lens: ...

ESan_Skate42Lens: What does your username mean?

NyctoSolum17: Have you ever heard of nyctophobia?

ESan_Skate42Lens: hang on...

ESan_Skate42Lens: That's fear of the dark, right?

NyctoSolum17: Right

ESan_Skate42Lens: ?

NyctoSolum17: sigh

ESan_Skate42Lens: Oh right, the astronomy thing

NyctoSolum17: What about your username?

ESan_Skate42Lens: Nothing fancy like that

ESan_Skate42Lens: My name's Evan Sanchez, I skateboard, i like photography

ESan_Skate42Lens: Pretty self explanatory

NyctoSolum17: What about the 42?

ESan_Skate42Lens: ...

ESan_Skate42Lens: My dad's jersey number

ESan_Skate42Lens: He died a couple years back

NyctoSolum17: Oh

NyctoSolum17: I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked

ESan_Skate42Lens: Don't sweat it

NyctoSolum17: I don't really get how you can be so comfortable spilling all this to a stranger you met over the internet.

ESan_Skate42Lens: I didn't really think of it that way

ESan_Skate42Lens: I guess for me it's almost easier because you're a stranger, and because we're chatting online

ESan_Skate42Lens: It's harder to tell it to people face to face because then I can see their reactions to what I'm saying

ESan_Skate42Lens: And it's harder for me to tell people I know about personal stuff because I think they'll judge me

NyctoSolum17: Have to keep up your cool guy semblance, huh?

ESan_Skate42Lens: Fancy word, mystery girl

ESan_Skate42Lens: But... yeah

ESan_Skate42Lens: Anyways, I trust you, I guess.

NyctoSolum17: ...

ESan_Skate42Lens: Grade's in on my math test, btw

NyctoSolum17: Let's hear it

ESan_Skate42Lens: I got a C-

ESan_Skate42Lens: About what I was expecting tbh

NyctoSolum17: Could be worse. But could also be a lot better.

ESan_Skate42Lens: You sound like my mom

ESan_Skate42Lens: That's not an insult, my mom's great

ESan_Skate42Lens: But you know what I mean

NyctoSolum17: Heh

ESan_Skate42Lens: Hey... tomorrow you should send me one of your pictures

ESan_Skate42Lens: I want to see this ugly photography of yours

NyctoSolum17: Fine

NyctoSolum17: But only if you send me your pretty flowers or something

ESan_Skate42Lens: Will do

ESan_Skate42Lens: See you, mystery girl
