Shawn
After school, I had football practice with David. Last year we won the WPIAL championship, so this year we have a lot of pressure to repeat that.
Our practices are brutal. I just look forward to having that hot shower after football practice.
Coach blows that whistle, that’s when practice is over and we can head on back to the locker room. Hot shower, here I come.
“Looks like Michelle is trying to get your attention.” David said to me as we were walking into the locker room.
We stop by our lockers so we can strip out these uniforms. As I’m pulling off my jersey I ask him,
“Why do you say that?”
David is sitting down on the bench untiring his shoes and says, “Did you see how she was bending over during the cheerleader practice? Her boobs were literally spilling out that shirt.”
I shrugged and continued taking off my uniform.
“I wasn’t paying attention.” I told him.
I grabbed my stuff for the shower and was about to close my locker, when I heard my phone go off. I grabbed it real quick to see who sent me a text.
I saw it was from a number I didn’t recognize. It’s probably spam, but I opened the message anyway. It definitely wasn’t spam and it shocked me what I saw on the screen.
It was a photo of a girl in just her bra and jeans. I could not tell who she was because her head was cut off. The text bubble under the photo read: I do look better in this bra, don’t I? I look much better right?
I’m not sure what this girl looked like before but from what I was seeing in this photo, she looked pretty good. She was curvy in all the right places, which I noticed right away.
“What are you looking at?” David asked me.
I looked up from the photo. No way am I telling David. He will make it his mission to hunt this girl down. David is a real horn dog.
“I’m nothing, my mom texted me that is all.” I lied to him.
“Are you in trouble with your room again?” David laughed.
I ignored him. I’m guessing this was an accidental text going by what was written. I don’t think they wanted to send this to me in particular. But I should reply shouldn’t I?
So I sent this mystery texter a quick reply, they were looking for an opinion, right? So let me give her one then..
S: Looks good to me, wow, you have a beautiful body. Who are you?
I put the phone back in my locker so I could get my shower. but I was curious, who are you mystery texter?
*
After the shower, I saw I had no reply. I went home so I can start on this stupid home work. I looked again, saw that she read my text, but still did not reply.
Oh well, whoever it is, they do have a nice body. I put my phone down so I can work on this math that I hated doing. I was halfway through, when I heard my phone go off.
A quick glance at my phone and it showed It was her, my mystery texter replied back finally.
I opened up the text to see what the reply was:
MT: I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to send you that photo. It was to go to my best friend.
Best friend? That is interesting. I didn’t know best friends gave opinions on how they look in bras. Ok, let me text back.
S: So it’s a FWB?
MT: FWB? What is that?
She doesn’t know what FWB is? Hmm that is interesting.
S: Friend with Benefits. I mean it was a photo of you in a bra.
MT: OMG! No, she isn’t a FWB! I just needed her opinion ok.
S: Sure, well my opinion is you looked good. I’m being honest here.
MT: Do you really think so?
Hmm, this mystery texter is interesting. I wonder why she is doubting herself.
S: Yes, I think so. By the way my name is Shawn. And you are?
MT: Your name is Shawn? Are you in high school by chance?
Ok, why is she asking me this? Does she know me? Or is this some weird set up and I’m being put on a weird TV show?
S: maybe, are you?
MT: yeah, I’m a senior.
A Senior? Interesting. This conversation is getting interesting indeed.
S: I’m a senior too. Do we know each other? Is that why you haven’t told me your name?
MT: I go to South Fayette
Ok she is in my school, but who is she? I see the girls in our class on a daily basis and I’m sure there isn’t a girl in our class with her body. I would have noticed it.
S: I do too, looks like we are in the same class. Who are you?
There was silence. No dots, nothing. After awhile I put the phone down. She isn’t going to text me back.
Then as I was just finishing up my last math problem, I heard the ding. She finally texted back.
MT: we may know each other, but I would rather not tell you who I am. I’m just going to disappoint you if you knew.
Why would she disappoint me? I don’t understand what this girl is thinking. I saw her photo of her body, I won’t be disappointed.
S: hey it’s ok. You want to remain a mystery that’s fine. If you ever need an honest opinion on a bra or maybe a bikini next time, hit me up. I will let you know my honest opinion.
MT: LOL I think that photo was a one and done, sorry that’s all you will ever see from me.
Ok, so she does have a little sense of humour.
S: oh come on, you can ask my opinion on anything. Dresses, shirts, more bras, it could be our fun secret. I won’t tell.
MT: Fine, how did you like the lunch they served today at school.
Lunch? She asked me about lunch, oh this girl is smart, very smart. She wants to change the subject.
S: You decided to ask me about lunch? What happened to showing me more clothing? It's a school lunch, not fast food, so it is ok.
MT: You said anything. But yours was probably better than mine, I just had a bag of SunChips.
Just a bag of chips? Is she poor? I never seen any of the girls we hang out with eat just chips. Salad many, but just chips?
S: You seriously just ate a bag of chips? Why?
MT: I wasn’t very hungry and besides, I’m kinda fat and need to lose weight.
Fat? That text startled me. What I saw in that photo wasn’t fat, she was perfect. She definitely does not need to lose weight.
S: I know I have not seen you in person and only have the photo to go off of, but honestly you are not fat. I like your curves, they are perfect.
It was silent, she didn’t text me back. I went back to my homework when I heard the ding. I looked and she finally did text me.
MT: Thank you
