: Anni…are you trying to ask me my age?

:

: Have you ever kissed a boy, Anni?


: ugh why do u talk like this it freaks me out

: Talk like what?

: like with all proper typing n stuff

: That is the correct way to type. But don't change the topic.

: no. i never kissed a boy

: Do you want to?

: yea i guess so. im just scared

: Why are you scared?

: like sex??

: Yes, we had sex.

: do u like sex?

: Yes, I very much enjoy having sex.

: is it hard?

: No. Anyone can have sex. Even me :)

: i hope i will some day

: Not too soon. You should stay a virgin as long as you can.

: y?

: You don't want people to think you are a slut. Men will want you more if they think they cannot have you.




















: Well…Heather and I…we're over.

: wat?

: It's really done this time.

: really really?

: Yes really done. No more chances. She's had all her chances. I'm through.

: wat happened?

: Oh, I caught her cheating red handed just as I suspected. So, of course, I call her out on it, and even have proof, and she just mocks me. So I call her house and her mother answers and says Heather doesn't want to talk to me. So that was it for me,

: was she cheating on u with sum1 online or offline?

: Does it matter?

: i guess not

: This is for the best.

: i agree. i think this is a really good thing! u can finally move on

: Yes, I'm looking forward to that.

: me too

w: A few months ago I don't think I could have. But I think I'll be able to now.

: really?

: Yes. You've helped me get over her. In more ways than one.

: hows that?

: You've been so nice to me and so good. Not like Heather. And I still like you, I still want to talk to you even though you're nice to me.

: see, being nice is good too :)

: Yes, you've taught me that.

: I like you, Anni. I like you a lot.

: i like you too

: I mean, I like you as more than just a friend, although you have been a very good friend to me. I think you're beautiful inside and out.

: really?

: Yes.

: i like u 2. as more than just a friend ;x

: You don't have to say that just because I did. I will really understand if you don’t think you can like someone as pathetic and fucked up as me.

: no! i really do like u. i like u a lot.

: I'm so happy to hear you say that.

: :)

: I know that soon I'll forget about Heather. I am starting to like you so much more.
