A strange number...
745 Words
Ronsha's POV:
"Yeesh, what's taking Blessing forever to reply" I huffed.
My eyes lit up as I heard a buzzing notification sound from my phone...."Finally", I squealed assuming Blessing had finally replied to my text.
My smile fades as I see an unfamiliar sender ...."Hi" the sender greets.
I stare at my phone for a few seconds lost in thoughts.
I obviously didn't know this person since the contact wasn't saved......how did this person even get my number? I questioned myself.
I brush it off and type "hi?" Slowly....."what's next?" I wondered. I wait patiently for the person to reply eager to know who he or she is. 'It's me, Benedict' another notification beeps. I squint taking a closer look at the text. Benedict...who was that? Did he know me?
'Please, I don't know you' I replied tossing the bed onto the bed......
Could he be a scammer?
Scammers actually text on WA?
'Don't you remember? We coincidentally met and I took your contact' he responds.
'You're mistaken' I typed back feeling somewhat bad for him.....
He replies within a minute saying he's sorry and he got the number mixed up.....'ok then...bye? 'I reply thinking the conversation had come a halt.
'Wait.....I would like to know more about you' he pleads....know more about me? I momentarily paused. I wanted to exclaim in excitement because no guy had ever told me he wanted to know more about me. But...yo, I did barely knew him...his age, I knew absolutely nothing about him to even piqued in the first place.
Could he be in his 20s or 30s or 40s or even worse 50s! I pondered.
I was feeling really bored since Blessing had miraculously disappeared so I decided to let this stranger entertain me for a little while.
Won't be a bad idea after all...I Ermm...sure, what exactly do you wanna know?" I finally responded after having my little lululala time.
My breath hitched for a moment when I saw his next reply. "Anything, everything".... I felt something I had never experienced before...."He seems intriguing" I noted internally.
"Well....I began typing
I'm Ronsha
I'm 16
I'm not friendly
I'm an introvert...yeah" I paused briefly contemplating what to say again. " Hm...interesting" he replied in a millisecond. "Where do you reside" he asked.... I stared at the text for God knows when.
Why did he want to know? Was he a bad person? Did he mean any harm? was I supposed to lie?
Then I remembered Good luck...we were exactly a thing but yeah...we were kinda involved just a teeny weeny bit.
Obviously, we didn't end well.... mere infatuation wasn't enough to secure a relationship between us.
And then it came.... the lying spirit I wanted to avoid. I couldn't help but lie, he went ahead to ask the school I attended. Again, I lied. Atp...has Satan adopted me? I sniffed.
Benedict's POV:
Kayla.... I did not expect to meet her today." Why did I even take her contact? " I asked trying to find any clues from myself. I had not found any new girl after Angela and I broke up. "Let's try our luck" I spoke to no one in particular.
I send "hi" since I'm terribly bad at initiating conversations.....my eyes beamed with happiness as I heard the notification meaning she had replied to my text.
'Hi?" I furrowed my brow in amusement.... why did that come out more like a question?
Wasn't she expecting my text after I took her contact?
Did she have a boyfriend?
Was I intruding?
Did I have no chance?.......Kayla wasn't exactly pretty but she wasn't bad either.
"It's me, Benedict" I typed serving as a reminder since she probably forgot about me.
"Please, I don't know you" the supposed "Kayla" replies back.
What did she mean by she didn't know me?
Did I just take her contact today?
Was she just playing hard to get my attention?
'Don't you remember? We coincidentally met and I took your contact' I press send...trying to control my growing anger.
Yeah, I do have anger issues...it's just manageable.
"You're mistaken" her text reads.....was it actually not her? I had no other choice other than to believe I most likely got the digits mixed up.
But this supposed "Kayla" seemed like a girl...I doubt guys could text this way.
She should be at least younger than me, I prayed.....maybe not Kayla but at least I can have another girl if my prayer was answered.
