Thirty-Two

AS CARLOS STARED at Roxy’s IM, a torrent of sweat accumulated on his face. Was he seeing things? The message had to be a hoax. Maybe it was from Sal, teasing him. Hand trembling, Carlos clicked on the message.

GlitterGirl: Wassup? So, ur Ketchup Guy?

Carlos swallowed hard, trying to quench his suddenly parched throat. Out of all the e-mails Roxy received, why had she responded to his? More to the point, now what was he supposed to say? He mustered all his brainpower and replied, Yeah. Hi.

He hit send and stared at the screen, unblinking, as his mind uncontrollably conjured boobs.

After what seemed like centuries, a new GlitterGirl IM appeared: I’m soooo bored. What ru up 2?

Now Carlos was convinced this had to be a hoax. How could the finest babe at Lone Star High possibly be bored? Just having those boobs ruled out any chance of boredom. And why was she asking him so many questions?

Nothing, he typed back shakily. Bored too.

He hit send and waited, staring at the computer, wishing he’d asked her a question so she’d respond. And yet, she replied anyway: Ur bored too? Guess that makes 2 of us. Hmm …

Carlos carefully studied the text, tracing his finger across the screen, trying to decipher its meaning. What did she mean by “Hmm?” And what did her wink mean?

Carlos yanked off his headphones and sprang from his chair, unable to sit still. He needed to reply, but what should he say? He paced the room, trying to think, but his mind had turned to boobmush.

Another IM popped onto the computer screen: U still there? Got2go. L8erz.

Carlos leaned over the monitor as his heart slid down his chest and into his feet. Laterz, he quickly typed, adding, Thanks. He wasn’t sure why he added that, except Sal was always harping on him to.

After waiting at the computer an hour, just in case Roxy sent another IM, Carlos finally got up from the desk. As he got ready for bed, his legs felt a little wobbly. With her message, Roxy had rocked his world. How could he possibly have told her he was bored? He’d never felt more excited in his entire life.
