No freaking way. It’s ridiculous to think I have had to wait for quickie visits to be able to see his Alex’s gorgeous face, and all this time I could have been adoring it every day. Thank god for Andi. Where has she been all my life?

When I first mentioned video chatting to Alex, he had the same reaction as I did. “Why didn’t I think of that?” were his exact words. He talked to his roommate about it and he said he just assumed we were doing that already. It seems that we’re the last ones to catch on to this simple piece of technology. Maybe I would’ve figured it out sooner if my cell phone wasn’t sent to me from the middle ages.

Word spread fast and we all created accounts. The girls and I stopped answering video calls from Josh when he flashed his ass to the screen and let out a roaring fart. Thankfully, we were all at my house gathering around my laptop and I didn’t get a good look. Keesh, however, was front and center and is scarred for life. The only way she’s coping with the whole disgusting ordeal is by giving him a new nickname, Old Brown Eye. She embarrasses the hell out of him when people ask why she calls him that if he has green eyes: “When he let it rip, it sounded wet, and I felt like his ass was going to spit on me through the phone.” Nasty, I know.

I’m confident I don’t have to worry about Alex spreading his cheeks at me even though the guys, young and old, thought it was hilarious. Ben gave him the good ol’ fist bump when he heard the story. And he patted Keesh on the head. Alex sent him a text egging him on to do it again. Nice. This is why every time I get a call or text from him, I’m afraid to open it.

Before Alex left to go back to Berkeley, we sat at my kitchen table with our laptops and tried it out. We wanted to make sure that everything was installed correctly on both our computers and we wouldn’t face any problems. We joked around, making faces at each other and trying out sexy voices. We figured out that I can’t do sexy talk. Every time I tried, we’d both end up laughing. Bedroom voices are way too serious for me and neither one of us was buying it.

But now I’m just minutes away from my first long distance video chat with my friend, who is not my boyfriend but might be again sometime in the future. Someday, anyway. And I’m ready to scream. He’s four hundred miles away and he’s about to show up in my room. He can sit with me on my bed, and we can chat all night.

My phone buzzes.

R u online?

My fingers work their magic. YUP! U?

Seconds later, Alex’s face shows up on my screen along with a little message alerting me of his video call.
