Hysteria

I looked at the blank screen; it was the middle of the sixth grade the class had been given e-mail addresses to communicate with other children around the U.S. Yes a pen pal project. I was a bit nervous, the teacher lost the name of my pen pal and she didn't know if he was a girl or not what was I to do? Talk to a boy about my love for Liza Frank and old collection of dolls?
It's not that I liked dolls anyway but I did like Liza Frank the art is neat.
My fingers started to type random nonsense, I typed my e-mail to that person I wasn't sure if that person got my e-mail or not it had been over one week. Mrs. Jennings scolded me for not following up on my e-mails. So I opened my account to find a response; finally!
My eyes scanned the email anxiously.
It read:
It's fine; I'm a guy by the way.
I've never seen your face, nor ever heard your voice.
But I think I like you.
V
WHAT? That was all, he didn't even answer my questions, and what does he mean he likes me? He hasn't even met me yet!
My face was a bit flushed; to be honest to be told that you are liked by a complete stranger was a bit creepy and somewhat nice.
… Wait. Does this make me some sort of sicko?
I was not even sure anymore.
What would I tell Mrs. Jennings that some person told me he liked me via email? No, I cannot maybe he isn't so bad and maybe he was just a lonely guy at school. That had to be it!
For the past two weeks, we would talk via aim, and send e-mails to each other; he would always give me advice it was great, and he is really smart too, he would always help me with my homework It was great. The last week of our assignment had arrived, for some reason I felt sad it was as if I was losing a friend.
I told him this would be my last mail. He requested something a bit odd but it would not hurt me right? I sent him my picture of me. Two days later, I called him using the payphone near my house.
As the phone started to ring my stomach was twisting, I was so worried a bit frighten maybe I should hang up but before I could, I heard his voice.
"Andy?"
How could he now I was going to call? I swallowed hard.
"It's ok, I knew you were going to call I just knew it Andy."
So he was guessing I was a bit relieved.
"Yes, this is Andy." I heard him laugh.
"I like your voice Andy, it's very cute."
"Well I have to go soon so bye!" I hung up the phone and ran away from the payphone. This was a bad idea. Why didn't I tell the teacher? He seemed so nice, well is not as he was rude or anything, but he is so strange.
I just should forget him forget everything.
Four years passed, I deleted all my accounts and made new ones. I was afraid of these online friends my friends told me about. I always told them to be careful. It was a Saturday night, 7pm Jane, Yasmin, and I were walking down to a restaurant. The streets where practically empty, I was scared, or just paranoid I wasn't too sure what it was.
