I looked down at my phone:
'Cameron: Alright amanda :)'
God, I hate being called by that name. Every time he calls me that, it puts me back into reality. That I'm not really Amanda...
'me: Hey, could I ask you for a favor?'
'Cameron: That depends what KIND of favor ;)'
'me: Ew. Not what I meant, Cam. Could you not call me Amanda? I want a nickname.'
Cameron: lol sure, what do you want to be called then?
me: I dont know, anything. Anything except Amanda.
Cameron: hmm... How about jelly bean? You obsessive Jelly Bean eater..
me: that's perfect."
I'm Hope Forbes, and I have a confession to make… something I never told anybody.
I made some Internet friends through a social networking site one day. What I didn't know is that those people would turn out to be my best friends for almost two years now.
Who knew that even behind a computer screen, they might just be the best people I've ever came across? Who knew you could fall in love with someone online?
But a love triangle is the least of my problems.
This is my problem: I lied to them about my identity. To them, I'm not Hope. I'm "Amanda". I told them my name was Amanda, who's actually this queen bee at my high school. I got so carried away faking my identity that I used HER picture as my profile picture on the social networking site. I lied because I took advantage of the site to pretend to be someone I'm not. To escape from my life as a daughter of a single mother and a sibling of a spoiled older sister.
I thought they were just "some Internet friends", but they proved me wrong. They're my best friends.
What if they find out my life? Will they still forgive me? What if the real Amanda at my school finds out that I've been using her picture to catfish? Will I ever meet them in person? I have to do something before the real Amanda finds out
They know everything about me… Everything except my True Identities
