TextPal

"Virgil Grey? Right?" Virgil looked over to see a man standing beside him. The man wore a dark blue polo that looked almost black with a lighter blue tie to contrast against it. His shirt was tucked neatly into dark colored jean. And with the black rimmed glasses Virgil could clearly see this man was a nerd. Virgil nodded and the man smiled slightly holding hand out ot shake with Virgil hesitantly accepted before shoving his hands back into his hoodie pockets. "Salutations. My name is Logan Sanders. I was informed of you're participation in this class by my... ehem... textpal." Virgil raised a eyebrow in confusion as Logan awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. "I believe you are to be friends with a Mr. Patton Picani. Unless I am to be mistaken."

"Oh,so you're the one who snagged dad's number." Virgil laughed softly as moved over gesturing for the man to sit. He did but not before frowning over at the broken phone Virgil had on the table. The light went off signaling a text and Virgil imedeatly jumped to read it dispite Logan beign right there. 

Princey: Hey, Anx... I know you can't respond with your phone... but I thought I would text anyway.
Princey: I'm boooreeed out of my mind!!! lolz
Princey: Patton said you have Sociology now. Tell Mx. Jones hi, yes? *Read*

Princey: I am happy your reading my texts and stuff now but... shouldn't you be paying attention lolz. Jk im just messing. Have fun Anx *Read*

"Princey?" Virgil blushed slightly in embarrassment as he set his phone down. 

"Yeah, he's my textpal. We don't really know each others names. Still basically strangers." Logan frowned as he glanced at his own texts. They didn't have to worry about much this class because Jones was giving the permission. Since they needed there phones for the project they didn't care if they got used as long as they didn't distract others or cause you to miss anything important. 

"Isn't the point of the assignment to learn as much about you textpal. As well as determine things such as if the use of a phone diminishes the chance at a 'true' friendly relation or if it helps." Virgil just laughed.

"Dude it's a pen pal. Why does it matter?" Logan sighed as he started to text something and Virgil smiled. "I take it Patton told you to check up on me?"

"He may have asked for me to aquaint myself with you. However, do not assume my decision to do so was based solely on him. I must admit however that I am not one for... social interaction." 

"Dude, same... Honestly this textpal thing is way out of my comfort zone." Virgil couldn't help but grin as he saw his phone go off again and laughed. "But I can't say I hate it."

"Uh... as you said..." Logan smirked fondly towards his phone as Virgil picked his own up. "...same."

Princey: Ok so... I just realize that I shared two VERY big things with you... You already know so much about me aaahhhh. I only just got your gender. WTH!!!
Princey: I am a PRINCE! I shall defeat this quest and learn thine name or let the dreaded dragon witch burn me for the great dishonor of embarrassment... a branded failure!
Princey: So far all I got is your male, you're pronouns are he/him, you go to my old college, you're mutual friends with Patton, and you have anxiety.
Princey: ... I feel like I should now more by now hahahaha. *Read*

Virgil bit his lip as he looked around and sighed seeing everyone so focused on other things. It's not that he was closeted about this. Hardly... He was very open. It's just he didn't want to risk... going through that again. 

Anx: i
Princey:???
Anx: m
Princey: What are you doing? *Read*

Virgil growled in frustrated amusement as he struggled to figure out how he was going to do this. 

Anx:i4m
Anx:g.ay/
Anx:2' *Read*

Virgil started to feel nauseous as the second drug on. What if he was lying? What if he... no Virgil, you can't do that. He spilled his guts to you the least you could do is believe him... and trust that he's as good a person as he seems to be. However as time ticked past his resolve slowly began to ebb away as the anxiety grew.

Princey: ...
Princey: Uh... did I read that right? *Read*

Virgil sighed setting his phone down as tears brimmed in his eyes. He could see Princy was still texting him but he wasn't going to read them. Not yet anyway... not until he calms down. He's to frazzled and strung up with nerves to deal with the anxiousness that he felt over what Princey could be saying. However, the shocking sound of Logan suppressing a soft chuckle drew his attention over to the man to see him still staring at his phone. Virgil, get you head out of your ass, he yelled at himself as he reached out for the phone again. Don't be a dick and read the damn texts... what the worst he could... never mind don't even ask yourself that. Just read. 

Princey: *A young dashing Prince reaches a dark dreaded cave
Princey: *The cave opening moans with haunted danger only enticing the prince onward at the thought of immense riches and treasures.
Princey: *The prince freezes hearing the mumbled and mixed up whispers in his ears. I...m...What ever do they mean?
Princey: *He presses onward even more desperate to reach his destination
Princey: *The further along he trudges the cold and desolate tunnels the more anxious he feels, afraid he will never accomplish his goal until...
Princey: *The brave prince sees light spilling in signaling an end to the darkness and unknowing
Princey: *The prince steps cautiously out into bright chamber, the sun shining from a hole in the mountain like a lava free mountain
Princey: *a small pool of water sat directly below being washed in the sunlight making it shine and glitter.
Princey: *A small pedestal calling for the prince sat on a rock in the center of the pool, a thin pathway stretching through the beauty for the Prince to walk over and reach the pedestal
Princey: *The prince sees a solitary stone tablet fixated onto the pedestal illuminated only by the glow from the water surrounding it.
Princey: *He reaches out hesitant to touch the tablet in fear of what it could mean.
Princey: *A long lost message lost to time and translation sat before him spurring his curiosity and excitement
Princey: *He must decipher this Brokenphone Textonian language so he reaches far into his bag and pulls out a decoder
Princey: *"i4m g.ay/ 2'" It reads as the smart and handsome prince sets his mind on decoding
Princey: *He is not sure if he is correct but at the end he reads...
Princey: * "I'm gay too."
Princey: *The prince is lost in wonder and amazement
Princey: *Could this be what he's been searching for!
Princey: *A piece of his puzzle
Princey: *The next step in his quest...
Princey: *Could this be a message from his 'friend on the other side'

Princey: HAHAHA!!! All fun and games aside. I'm being serious. Did I read that right? Cuz... If so than...
Princey: AMAZING!!!!!
Princey: I platonicly love you even more now...haha

Princey: Anx?
Princey: I didn't scare you off again did I?
Princey: I just realized I'm not getting the time stamp anymore...
Princey: You good?
Princey: I didn't give you anxiety again I hope...
Princey: One of these days were gonna have to work on some sort of a code or something for that.
Princey: That way either part knows what's going on without having to explain of go into detail. *Read*

Princey: Eyyy, you're back :) !!!!
Princey: Well, ok mr. brokenphone. I'll TTYL then ;) *Read*
