The sounds and words of Muse's "Panic Station" filled Sapphire's headphones as she sat at the desk in her bedroom. The lights were off and her face was lit only by the multi coloured glow of her laptop screen.
A mischievous smile crossed her lips as she opened up a chat session with Jakeyboy2000. It had been a few weeks since they first met on line and since then they'd chatted online most days. He had suggested a couple of times that they should maybe meet up, but Sapphire wasn't sure. She knew her parents would flip out if they discovered she was talking to strangers on line, but she was almost seventeen now and the guys at school all thought she was a freak, and Jake seemed nice.
Sapphyrocker : I've got something you'd like to see.
Jakeyboy2000 : Really but we hardly know each other.
Sapphyrocker : Not like that !
Jakeyboy2000 : Like what then?
Sapphyrocker : Like secret stuff ?
Jakeyboy2000 : How secret ?
Sapphyrocker : You like all that conspiracy crap don't you ?
Jakeyboy2000 : It's not crap they really are putting stuff in our food ?
Sapphyrocker : This is bigger !!!
Jakeyboy2000 : How big ?
Sapphyrocker : Like secret bases and murder !!
Jakeyboy2000 : Bull shit !
Sapphyrocker : Can you accept a PDF if I send it?
Jakeyboy2000 : Nah, on my tablet and the pdf viewer is crap :-(
Sapphyrocker : No probs I'll convert it to a picture so you can read it.
Jakeyboy2000 : Read what ?
Sapphyrocker : You'll see.
Jakeyboy2000 : Is this going to be some selfie of you with your top off? ;)
Sapphire's heart almost stopped, her parent's constant warnings of how the internet was full of sex offenders ringing in her ears. Then she re-read the post, he was just being stupid, just being a boy basically.
Sapphyrocker : You wish you perv!!!
Jakeyboy2000 : Ok got it, what is this.
Sapphyrocker : Read it
Sapphyrocker : You can read right?
Jakeyboy2000 : Your having a typed conversation with me.
Sapphyrocker : You could have text to speech turned on, bet you have, bet you prefer Microsoft Mike, gay boy !!
Jakeyboy2000 :Haha sooo funny. I'm reading it now give me a minute.
Sapphyrocker : Ok let me know if you struggle with the long words.
As the introduction string section of "Prelude" started to build through her headphones, Sapphire opened up another browser session and did a quick search on a jewellery site for a new nose stud she had been thinking about getting. She was still trying to decide if a sapphire stud to match her blue eyes (and her name) would be too obvious when Jake replied.
Jakeyboy2000 :Holy shit where did you get this, is this real?
Sapphyrocker :I found it, someone left it on a memory stick in a shop. I think it was a guy he came back to get it. Looked all James Bond, with an earpiece and stuff.
Jakeyboy2000 :You know people use blue tooth headsets now don't you? It's all the rage.
Sapphyrocker :No I mean it! this was a serious dude !
