I get a message from Just_A_Guy Saturday morning. 

Just_A_Guy: Got any guesses?

Me: Are you Matt or Tyler?

I highly doubt  it's either of them. We talk sometimes because we are all section leaders, but the are both seniors. They are Top Dogs. I am not the most noticeable of people.

Just_A_Guy: Nope and nope. Want a hint?

Me: Yes please.

Just_A_Guy: I'm in choir.

Me: Are you a tenor or a bass?

He has to be either a tenor or a bass. There are no boys in the alto and soprano sections.

Just_A_Guy: Not tellin.

Me: What, come on!

Just_A_Guy: Nope XD

Me: Fine. Let's play one of my games.

Just_A_Guy: What kind of game?

Me: 20 questions. You don't have to answer anything that will reveal your identity, but I'd like to get to know you.

Just_A_Guy: hoe about 10 questions?

Me: 20

Just_A_Guy: 10

Me: Fine

As long as he will work with me a little bit. Maybe I can piece together something with simple questions. Not that personal type of stuff. I type out my first questions.

Me: Ok. What's your favorite subject?

Just_A_Guy: I really like choir, but I think my all time favorite is English. I like writing.

Me: Why do you like choir?

Just_A_Guy: It's expressive and fun. I just really like music.

Me: What is your favorite type of music?

Just_A_Guy: Classic rock. Old school stuff.

Me: I was raised on classic rock.

Just_A_Guy: Same here. My favorite singer was Alice Cooper when i was two.

Me: What was your childhood like?

Just_A_Guy: Getting deep are we?

Me: Oh yeah.

I find myself smiling at my too bright computer screen.

Just_A_Guy: I have had a very happy childhood. Nice parents. Adorable younger sister. I did the normal kid stuff. I played outside, was signed up for literally every sport.

Me: Do you still play sports?

Just_A_Guy: No

Me: Why not?

Just_A_Guy: I did in middle school, but when I got to high school I stopped so I could keep up with everything.

Me: What were your favorite spots to play?

Just_A_Guy: Definitely baseball. 

Me: Why?

Just_A_Guy: I'm good at short distance running. Every other sport involves too much running.

Me: Do you like sports or choir better?

Just_A_Guy: Choir.

Me: Why?

Just_A_Guy: You don't have to run to sing. XD

Me: Ha! You really don't like running do you?

Just_A_Guy: Cardio sucks.

Just_A_Guy: By the way that makes 10.

Me: Come on! Some of those didn't count!

Just_A_Guy: We agreed 10 and i counted 10 question marks.

Just_A_Guy: And perfect timing. I have to log off.

Me: Aw. Fine.

Just_A_Guy: We will tomorrow.

Me: Ok.

I log off right after I see the green do by his name turn red.
